“Super helpful and responsive. I’m almost always on a last minute basis with my schedule and she has come through tremendously. I do enjoy speaking with her and she keeps me up to date. I highly recommend!”
“Chelsea is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, consistently communicative, and great with our dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she was taking care of our dogs during a very rainy week, but she did a great job drying them off and making sure they got out there (even if they didn’t want to go out!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer!! This was the first time having someone walk my boys and what an incredible experience. Will be using Jennifer’s services again!! 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!”
“Dawn was so great! Over the Christmas holiday I had surgery and my boyfriend got really sick. Poor Ranger was desperate to get out and Dawn came the same day we made the request! I will definitely book again. Thanks, Dawn! ☺️”
“Tori was amazing, she filled a last minute need for us and our pups loved her! She went above and beyond when our dogs got sick and cleaned up a horrible mess after calling us to let us know in time to get back home to them in case things got worse! We would recommend Victoria to anyone!”
“Wendy has been a great help to our household and great with our dog Bailey! She was willing to do a little meet and greet with her beforehand which was important for us! Bailey took to her right away and I know she loves her walks!”
“Saffron did amazing! She sent photos with each check-in and even made me aware of some possible health issues that should be brought to my vets attention. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud rescue dog owner! New to Rover and would love to help you with your pup! 2 years ago I adopted my pup when he was 10 weeks old and have loved every minute of raising my goofball sidekick. It’s Henry’s World and I have the honor of being a part of it!! Through training, daily exercise and lots of patience, I’ve gained firsthand experience with puppy energy, the importance of routine and building trust with dogs! I also cared for a dog for 7 months while her owner was deployed overseas, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication and dependable care when someone is trusting you with their pet. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to match each dog’s personality and needs - whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles or just making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, it’s their world and we are just lucky enough to be a part of it!!! No 2 dogs are exactly alike and I love getting to know what makes each unique! I’m more than happy to adapt to your dogs specific needs, routines, energy level and personality to make sure they get the best care possible! I currently work from home so can help out in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I am very flexible with my schedule and can help at almost anytime! I am more than happy to come to your home where your dog is most comfortable to help care for them! I can walk them around the neighborhood or let them out in the yard to play! Whatever works best for you and your pet! My dog is a very anxious dog, so I am well versed in building and earning dogs trust!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with both large and small breeds. I’m home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide lots of attention, walks, and playtime. I’d love to meet your pup and make them feel right at home! I’m a full time dog mom currently so I’m home most of the time, aside from caring for my own dogs and occasional outings, so I’m very flexible and available almost any day. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to spend time with yours whenever you need help! I live in a two story home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and safety. I have two dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, both neutered and up to date on rabies vaccines. They’re very friendly and love meeting other dogs! If your pup prefers quiet time, I can easily separate them into different rooms. Please feel free to text me with details about your dog. I’d love to get to know them!
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: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.

Erica has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. She’s been reliable, easy to communicate with, and just genuinely great to work with. You can tell she really cares and isn’t just going through the motions. Our dogs took to her right away and always came back from their walks happy and settled. The updates and photos she sends are such a nice touch and really give peace of mind. It’s clear she treats them with real attention and kindness. We fully trust Erica and feel lucky we found her. We’ll definitely keep booking with her and would recommend her to anyone who wants their pets in good hands.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Summerville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
Every walker 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.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
