About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with them. I’m comfortable providing walks, baths, playtime, and lots of love and attention I work full-time during the week, but I’m typically available after 6 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide regular, reliable care for cats during the week, including evening visits. For dogs, I’m primarily available on weekends when I can give them the time and attention they need. I live in a spacious 3-bedroom home where it’s just me, so your pet will have plenty of room to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have space for all their necessities, and there’s plenty of room to play. I also have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can safely run and play, and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s perfect for walks.

About: Hi! I’m an avid animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, along with birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, chipmunks, and even goldfish. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I understand that our fur babies are special souls and cherished members of the family. When your beloved pet is in my care, they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. It would be an absolute honor to provide a safe, happy, and comforting experience for your baby while you’re away. My days start early — which means I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and on weekends. I love having that balance in my day, especially when it comes to spending time with animals. At home, life revolves around my two dogs — a standard poodle and a terrier mix — along with my two rescue cats, all adopted from different rescues. Caring for them is part of my daily routine, from morning feedings and walks to evening playtime and snuggles. My home is calm, loving, and pet-centered, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy environment where animals feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾 When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I will follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to medications, play preferences, and bedtime routines. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, backyard playtime, enrichment activities, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to your pet’s personality and energy level. I’m also respectful of your home. I’ll keep things tidy, provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. Your baby will be treated like family every step of the way.

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! 🥰

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. 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.
