“Ella did such a great job taking care of our two dogs. She was very attentive and followed our agreed upon schedule. She shared pictures of the dogs walking, eating, and playing. Would contact her again for care and highly recommend her to others.”
“Stephanie did an amazing job caring for my dogs! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and truly cares about the pets she watches. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dogs were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. This was the first time I had left them in a long time, so I was feeling anxious, but Stephanie put both my dogs and me at ease. Her kindness and care gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my fur babies and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a loving, reliable pet sitter!”
“Miss Dianne is our favorite. She is so caring and thoughtful when looking after our dogs and kitty when she does drop in visits. She sends so many pictures and always gives a full and funny recap as to how everyone is doing. We go away sadly leaving our pets but happy because she spoils them!!”

About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful experience! She was punctual, responsive, and took excellent care of my dogs. She kept me updated throughout both visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her professionalism and attentiveness. I would absolutely recommend her and happily book with her again!
Bridgette is absolutely wonderful! From the first message, she was very friendly, kind and so easy to communicate with. She took such a great care of our girl Mia doing multiple visits to our home and letting her out, making sure she had plenty of play time and was ready for a treat and a nap after! Can’t recommend Bridgette enough!!
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! 🥰

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Summerville is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
