About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was young. I grew up with huskies until I moved out of my parents house. Now I have three dogs of my own. I would love to care for your fur babies! I work full time but am looking for a side job taking care of pets on my days off from work. I am currently available on Sundays and Wednesdays for drop in visits or dog walking! My availability may change week to week based on work schedule. I am open to learning what your pet needs! I can feed, walk, play, provide treats, etc. Please let me know If they have any allergies or dietary concerns, or if they have any problems with new people coming into the home!
“Lauren has been absolutely wonderful! She is on time always and keeps me updated on my pups' potty events. In all honestly, I watched the first entire encounter on the Ring camera, not bc of her necessarily but bc one of my dogs CAN be an asshole. Now, I dont even look at the camera at all, my dogs love her and she re-directs them with ease as needed. Thanks Lauren, I am so glad you came into our lives :)”
“These kitties are very shy with new friends (even in the presence of food!!) It is clear that them coming out to be around Savannah is a testament to her warmth and presence. We ended up with altered travel plans due to the crazy weather and could not get back home as planned. Savannah was quick to respond, putting our mind at ease. Huge thanks to her for taking great care, and especially such short notice!”
“I'm so glad Debbie was able to do a short notice drop-in for me. She was great with Winston during the meet and greet, making me feel comfortable for the drop-in. I will definitely be using her again! :)”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was a child! I personally had 4+ dogs/cats at a time growing up since I was 5 years old and even now! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and night, which allows me to give consistent attention and supervision. I only step out briefly for school drop-off/pick-up or short errands, typically no more than a few hours total. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches and will be treated like part of our daily routine, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on 2 fully fenced acres, providing plenty of secure space to run and explore while always supervised. When indoors, pets are part of our family environment — relaxing, playing, or cuddling in a calm and clean home. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe and at ease. My goal is to create a structured but loving environment where your pup feels right at home.
About: My husband and I both grew up learning to care for our family dogs. As a teenager I also was a regular pet sitter for neighbors. We have two dogs of our own now so we are very familiar with caring for all dogs. 😊 I am a stay at home mom so I am home and able to stay with your pup all day. I will occasionally leave the house a couple mornings a week to do activities with my son but if you are uncomfortable with me leaving while caring for your pet I am happy to stay home! We have two dogs of our own so your fur baby will never be lonely! Fully fenced yard to play in and we can take them on walks through the neighborhood as well. Let me know if they are working on any specific training and I can practice with them daily. We have two extra crates and multiple bedrooms.

“Lizzy was an amazing sitter!!! She provided consistent updates with pictures and asked the right questions when needed. We will definitely ask Lizzy to watch our kitties again in the future! She also played with them and the kitties clearly loved her :)”
About: I’ve experienced living with large-breed and high-energy dogs for a few years. I’m very patient with anxious, shy or reactive pets. I am detail-oriented with daily updates, photos and communication. Overall, I would like to gain more experience with my love for animals through Rover😊 I’m currently working a swing-shift schedule from 1pm-10pm. So i’m usually only available on Fridays and Saturdays. My schedule does tend to change often so I will make sure to communicate ahead of time! I care for your fur babies in my client’s home by following their established routines, providing meals on-time, long walks, exercises, affection and any special care needed to keep them healthy, happy and stress-free while you’re away!
“Mary Kay was wonderful with my service dog Sunshine and his many “rules.” She was personable and kind, and he took to her instantly. I will definitely be having her back with Sunshine soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since a very early age. I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and i’ve loved watching and playing with other dogs ever since! I currently do pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule! I make sure to follow all the instructions, so the pet isn’t off of its schedule. I really try to spend the first few days getting close with the pets, that way they feel totally comfortable with me!
“She was great! She was prompt and great at keeping us updated. Our puppy seemed to really like her because he was good all week! Can't wait to have her back to help out with our little guy.”
About: First and foremost, I am an animal lover! I love learning about each cat or dog that I meet so that I can help them stay healthy and happy. I will do all that I can to make this a positive experience for you and your pet. I'm flexible and will follow you as the parent's instruction as you know your animal best. And I will be respectful of your space as I would want someone to be respectful of mine. As for myself, I have 3 cat children. I've had Nan for 11 years, Poe for 10 years and Tuk is our newest addition as of a little over 1 year ago. I'm a very involved pet parent and our cats are quite social, but they do enjoy their space. I currently work full time on the weekends but can be available in the early mornings or evenings (4am-5:30am) or (6:30pm-8pm) on Fri, Sat and Sun. My availability is open all day on Mon, Tues and Weds as well as most Thurs. I do travel some but will block those days accordingly. If you see my calendar blocked, then don't hesitate to message me and we'll see what we can figure out. As for you, I will always be respectful of your space and your wishes when it comes to your animal. And I will keep it tidy and make sure any accidents are taken care of before I leave so that your pet can enjoy a clean space. If you need anything additional like plants watered or anything then let me know. Plants are children too 🌱

This was Alicia’s second time watching Bean, and it's clear he absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make him feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and her detailed updates and photos always give me complete peace of mind. I never have to worry when Bean is with her. Alicia is truly amazing, and she'll always be my first choice. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, book her…you won't regret it!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Summerville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
