“I went looking for a Rover sitter very early in the morning and she had already updated when she was available. That alone convinced me to book her. The meet and greet went well and I knew that she would take great care of my babies. She is simply the best. My "vampire kitty" looked well cared for in the pictures she sent me. Next time I need a sitter, Mya will be my choice.”
About: I've spent years caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Living with a Great Dane has made me very comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and caring for my Labrador through her 17th year gave me plenty of experience with the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I'm also experienced in administering insulin injections and following medication schedules for pets with medical needs. No matter your animal’s age, size, or routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care and feel right at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for the pets in my care. I typically finish work by 3 PM, and I also have two days each week where I work from home, giving me extra availability and flexibility throughout the day. When needed, I can also use my lunch break to check in on your pets and make sure they’re doing well. I’m available for evening and weekend care as well, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and support for your pet’s daily routine. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where I can help pets feel comfortable by keeping their familiar routines and surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I focus on providing attentive, reliable care that includes feeding, playtime, walks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I’m available for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends, and I also offer daily walks and evening walks to help keep pets happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Anjali was great with our golden retriever, Andy! She always sent a update at each visit and spent time to give him extra cuddles when he needed. Anjali was on time and very dependable. I will be scheduling all my future doggie sitting with Anjali!”
“Casey was fantastic with my dog. She came twice a day for over a week and a half and was awesome with helping Daphne get over her separation anxiety which was affecting Daphne's appetite. Everything worked out great and I highly recommend Casey!!”
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.
“Savannah has been awesome! She is so sweet and our dogs took right to her (our older dog is a bit grumpy sometimes). She’s always on time and is excellent at communicating. Very grateful!”

I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule!

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

“Rebecca was wonderful! She came to meet our three cats before we were going out of the country for almost two weeks and they took to her right away (even the very shy one sniffed her)! She was very thorough with checking in and out and made sure to send us pictures, which we loved and appreciated! I will absolutely hire her again next time we need a cat sitter!”

“This is my 3rd time having Britta watch my cats and I will not hesitate to rebook with her in the future. She takes the time to take photos and play with my cats when checking up on them, and she even swept up around the litter boxes, which I was not expecting. Much appreciated!”
“Okay y'all. I am one of those people who doesn't trust my dog with ANYONE. However, I had recently ran into a dilemma that prevented me from being able to take Pope with me. Josh made the process SOOOO EASY! It was very obvious that Pope was very comfortable with him from the first meeting, and it was evident from the heavy visual updates that Josh provided during each of his check ins! He also kept the routine for him consistent! 10/10 recommend Josh and his better half Jade to care for your best friend; as they will LOVE EVERY SECOND time spent with either of these amazing sitters. Cheers!”
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.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Summerville is $20
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! 🥰
Cathryn and Jarrod were awesome! They dropped in to hang out with our dog Ravioli and made everything super easy. They were on time, sent updates, and gave Ravioli tons of love and attention. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Definitely recommend them and will book again! 🐾

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Summerville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Summerville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
