“She watches our babies every time we go out of town (which is quite a bit), and I now refuse to have anyone else watch them. Her communication is amazing and she takes care of the babies so well. I have no concerns and feel like I can actually rest easy and disconnect on vacation knowing they are in her hands.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and older pets who may need a little extra attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working full time at MUSC, which is only 3 days a week. I am wanting to find a little extra work on my days off. I want to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by keeping up with their normal routine, including feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In my home or a client’s home, I follow their instructions and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so owners know their pets are safe and doing well while they’re away.
About: I've been around or watched dogs ever since I can remember. I've dog sat for everyone I know. Every dog is different so they all have to be taken care of differently. I have three of my own. Abbie is a chiweenie and the oldest at 14 years old. Flint is a chihuahua and 8 years old. Then Sadie is the “baby” even though she’s a blue heeler and the biggest at 4 years old. I love all dogs no matter the size or age and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently a stay at home mom and have tons of free time while the kids are in school. I would love to add in taking care of your furry friends into my daily routine. I will be with your dogs every step of the visit making sure they’re actually getting out in the yard to go to the bathroom or getting walked until they’ve done all of their business.
About: *PLEASE READ* Transparency is important to me, so I want pet parents to know I work full-time in Mount Pleasant during the weekdays (7:30 AM–4:00 PM). Because of my commute from Summerville, I’m unable to leave work early before 4:00 PM. This schedule works best for pets comfortable during the workday, and I’m fully available for evenings, nights, and weekends.. Communication is very important to me — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re apart. I can do drop in before 630 am and anytime after 4 pm Caring for pets fits naturally into my day because spending time with animals is something I truly love.” Dogs are my peace and relaxing time. “Reliable, loving care for your pet, with routines, exercise, and plenty of attention. “Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority." Happy babies.
About: With over 10 years of personal experience as a devoted pet owner, caring for dogs isn’t just something we do, it’s a way of life. We currently have three dogs of our own, and our home is always filled with happy paws and wagging tails! Friends and family know our place is where dogs are always welcome, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or structured care, we treat every dog like they’re part of our pack. We have three dogs of our own that get daily potty breaks, walks and treats. Our life is already structured around our girls and yours will be treated no differently! We have a large, fenced in yard and three friendly pups. Our dogs are used to sharing their space with others as my profile mentions, as we have a revolving door of four legged visitors.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 horses myself so I have plenty of experience with animals. I love taking dogs on walks or out to the the park to go play and make friends. I am an athlete so taking the dogs with me to exercise is always fun. I’m very organized so high maintenance pets are not a problem for me. Having horses I can deal with a lot. Young dogs are also not a problem I have had dogs in the past that have had puppies or I have raised dogs from puppies. Choose me to be your dog’s or cat’s best friend when you’re away. I also love to send the owners pictures and videos of their pets when they are away so they know that they are doing well. I am a teacher that loves to spend my free with animals and caring for them. I have a pretty set schedule from 6am-2:45pm but after that I can be pretty flexible. I also am happy to do overnight stays. On weekends I able to to multiple visits through out the day. I can go on 2-3 walks with them a day and do not mine taking them to a dog park to play. I let them out to potty multiple times during the day. If the weather is nice we go on walks and spend a good amount of time playing outside. If it is a raining day I spend time with them inside play as well. I try to be sure to stay on their schedule as best as I can. That they go on their regular walks and get their food at their regular times.

I love making sure every pet gets the exercise, attention, and care that’s right for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
Dawn did an amazing job with my dog and she really saved me on short notice when I didn't have someone to watch him last week! He loved her and she took great care of him and I highly recommend her service because not only is she great with animals she is an extremely kind person in general. She left me with zero anxiety about the safety of my dog Apollo. If your in need of a short or long term sitter or your pets I'd highly recommend her services!

We needed to go out of town on short notice and Trinity was willing to step in and help! She did a good job with the check-ins and made sure our two labs were taken care of. She was always willing to ask questions since we were a new family to her and she made small tweaks based on feedback we gave her. Our boys were happy with her and will look forward to her next visit!!

Lizzy is AMAZING!! I myself have been a Rover Sitter and my expectations were high and she BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. My puppies are high energy and we were still waiting for our fence to be built so I was nervous but they could NOT have been happier and so many pets and love. I felt at ease and for the first time on vacation relaxed!!! Lizzy is wonderful and you and your pets deserve to enjoy your time!!!

Alyssa was great - as always. She comes about every two months for 4-5 days - and my new (growing) kittens really love her. I appreciate that she sits with them for some time after she takes care of their food, water and litter box. They totally love her - and waller all over her! 🥰

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Summerville 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
