“We couldn't be happier with Bridgette! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly responsive, always quick to communicate and give us peace of mind while we were away. What really set her apart was when she went out of her way to stop by our home outside of her scheduled visits to check on something for us. That kind of dedication is truly above and beyond what we expected. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely adored her. Animals don't lie, and the way our girls immediately took to Bridgette told us everything we needed to know. We'll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Dawn was great with my pups, even going on the hunt for one of them after my landscapers left the gate open and he got out. She made my trip stress-free, sending pics and taking great care of them.”
“Did a wonderful job with my senior dog. He needs special food and meds and help with his walks, and she made sure to give him the attention he needed, as well as sitting in the backyard with him so he could sunbath. She’s very attentive to detail and patient”
“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!”
“Marina was great! She followed instructions and my dogs were very happy! I have zero complaints whatsoever and I have no doubt that my dogs were taken care of well while I was gone.”
“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!!”
“Savannah was super responsive and easy to work with! She even got the chance of seeing my shy cat who usually hides from new comers. I would definitely book with her again”
About: *PLEASE READ* Transparency is important to me, so I want pet parents to know I work full-time in Mount Pleasant during the weekdays (7:30 AM–4:00 PM). Because of my commute from Summerville, I’m unable to leave work early before 4:00 PM. This schedule works best for pets comfortable during the workday, and I’m fully available for evenings, nights, and weekends.. Communication is very important to me — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re apart. I can do drop in before 630 am and anytime after 4 pm Caring for pets fits naturally into my day because spending time with animals is something I truly love.” Dogs are my peace and relaxing time. “Reliable, loving care for your pet, with routines, exercise, and plenty of attention. “Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority." Happy babies.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little. We've always had at least 1. I'm also a wildlife rehabber and have worked at a doggy day care before so I'm comfortable giving medicine or taking care of wounds if need be. I'm working part-time at the moment and would love to fill up my free time taking care of your animals. I'm available mostly middle of the week but can do in house check ins or dog walks in mornings and evenings on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs for them to play with and run! I can also offer inside animal sitting with or without a crate. I'm also willing to travel to do in home check ins, feedings, walking, playing.
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.
About: I currently have three dogs and one cat to include: a Dachshund, German Shepherd, and a medium sized Lab mix. I have history of owning cats and multiple dogs of all different personalities and sizes. And I have experience giving medications. Additionally, I have pet sit for various neighbors, the fellow military community, and friends over the past couple years. I would love to be able to care for your fur babies and take pups on walks. I have base access. I currently work a rotating schedule and are able to assist before and after my shifts. And I have open availability on my days off. Right now I'm not accepting any animals to come to my home. But I will gladly come to you, follow your house rules, and take care of your babies however needed.
About: Hi! I’m a local Summerville artist and pottery instructor who absolutely loves dogs! I’ve always found so much comfort and joy in their companionship, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each dog’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, seen, heard, and cared for—just like they’re at home with you! I’m currently working part-time as a pottery instructor, so I have flexible availability in the mornings. I am available all day Mondays and anytime before 1pm Tuesdays through Thursdays! I love spending time outdoors and would be happy to give your pup some exercise, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I currently live with three dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of pets! Our dogs have plenty of room to run and play outside, but they especially love taking strolls around the neighborhood. We have two small dogs and one large dog, so I’m used to adjusting walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs—including accommodating those little legs when they need a shorter stroll! I love making sure every pet gets the exercise, attention, and care that’s right for them.
“Brianna was a huge help for me and my pup! He was in a cone during her visits and she took care of him with ease! He loved having her care for him and we can’t wait to use her in the future. She was great with communication and very reliable.”
“Makenna was a great dog sitter! She was reliable and communicated with us when needed. She told us if issues did arise and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pets. We definitely recommend Makenna!”
“Ying was very consistent with updates and photos of Sarah and Luna and they seemed to really enjoy her visits and attention. We feel very fortunate to have had Ying caring for our furry family!”

Bridget has been absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our pets in the past, and now she’s helping us with our newest addition, a puppy who is still learning the ropes. She is incredibly flexible and always willing to accommodate last-minute changes when my schedule shifts, which I appreciate more than I can say. Her response time is amazingly fast, she is dependable, and most importantly, our pets absolutely love her! It gives me such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. I highly recommend Bridget to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and accommodating pet sitter!
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!
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 is awesome and very thoughtful! We never worry about our kitties when they are in her care. She always keeps in close communication and asks questions when we forget to include something in our care instructions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Summerville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,659 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Summerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Summerville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
