About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover and have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up helping train service dogs for my mom, so I learned early on about patience, consistency, and understanding how dogs think and communicate. My family also had cats and fostered kittens when I was younger, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities. I also spent years pet sitting for neighbors growing up, which gave me even more experience caring for different animals and routines. In college, I volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability, where I helped work with service dogs in training and took part in hands-on trainings and education sessions. It was such a rewarding experience and deepened my love for working with animals. I’m currently finishing up grad school and will have a very flexible schedule while I study for my board exam, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I haven’t been able to have a pet of my own while in school, so I’ve really missed being around animals, which is a big part of why I’m excited to be on Rover and spend time caring for yours! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, and I’d love to help make that an easy, stress-free experience for you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently have a very flexible schedule as I finish up grad school and prepare for my board exam. This gives me plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or extended time with your pets. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they get reliable, attentive care! When caring for pets in your home, I will focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will follow instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific needs your pet has. I aim to provide a calm, loving presence so your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, and I always treat homes with respect and care!
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up in a family full of dogs, I’ve been around them my entire life and understand how to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m dependable, patient, and focused on making every walk safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s personality. I’ll treat your dog like part of my own family! Dog walking fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and make time in my schedule to give each dog a safe, fun, and consistent walk. I’m available for walks Mon-Fri after 6pm & all day Sat-Sun! During walks, I treat every dog like my own. I follow your routine and preferences, make sure your dog feels comfortable on their leash, and tailor the walk to their energy level. Whether it’s a slower stroll or a more active walk, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Your dog gets the same attentive, reliable care I'd want for my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need lots of activity to senior pups who prefer a slower pace and extra care. I’m happy to follow your routines closely, including medications, special feeding instructions, walks, and overnight care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’m happy to follow your routines, house rules, training, and behavioral instructions exactly as you prefer. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“"The only complaint that I have about Jess is that my dogs just may love her more than they love me! Upon meeting Jess, her sweet and calm demeanor put us all at ease and I felt an instant connection with her. She took EXCELLENT care of my three Yorkies. She provided each of them with love & individualized care. I would not hesitate to hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anybody for pet sitting! We have used Jess multiple times through Rover since this initial review. My Yorkies are always happy to welcome her back into their pack when they see her. She offers thorough updates with photos….and, I never have to worry about my babies or Jess being inside of our home. She is so clean!!!! I lover her!!!! XOXOXO 🐾 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻”

Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and even farm animals including cows!

“I would give him more stars if I could! We had to book a sitter last minute/ day of and Paul responded so quickly to my message. He sent us pictures and made us feel so safe and comfortable knowing our pup was in great hands. He went above and beyond. We will definitely be using his services again, we appreciate you Paul!!”
About: My pet experience started young with my family dog and continued with my own ferret, Flynn. Both animals I’ve taken care of, cleaned up after, and given immense love and attention. I’ve even gained experience in giving oral medicine to my pets as well. Since moving to Charleston, I’ve missed being around animals and started volunteering at the Charleston Animal Society with the Paws Around Town program. This opportunity allows me to take a shelter dog out for a day and introduce them to the community in hopes to get them adopted. I’m currently a student at MUSC in the OTD program so I am in school on the weekdays, but I’m open for opportunities on the weekends and possible weekday afternoons after class. I love animals and will always take care of them as best as possible. When taking care of them, your pet will be my #1 priority and have a trusted friend watching them at all times.

Kelsey is a fantastic pet sitter! She came over within a day of me reaching out to her for a meet and greet, my 16 year old Bichon warmed up to her right away and she is very experienced with older dogs as well. Kelsey is very responsible, prompt, responsive to questions, and I felt very safe leaving my pets in her care. I highly recommend Kelsey!!
Carson is absolutely phenomenal. There was an issue with the apartment key and getting in and she stayed and worked with me and my apartment complex to let my dog out. She is super quick to respond, dependable, and cares about making sure your pet is well taken care of. She did a great job!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sullivans Island choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
