“Jabrea was great!! I did a last minute booking because I was going out of town and she made the entire situation stress free and easy! My dogs were taken well care of?”
About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats all my life. I have a years experience as a kennel tech handling reactive dogs for work and 3 years working with my own. Im very familiar with multiple training methods. I work part time on James Island. Available for afternoon walks and check ins, and on my days off, house sitting given enough notice beforehand. I can handle couch potatoes and working breeds. Ill provide the care best suited to them, whether that be a potty break or full on agility training session. When it comes to their needs or prerequisites, your wish is my command.
About: Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home. 1 Family at a Time for Boarding: I only accept one client family at a time for overnight boarding, so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Boarding & Doggy daycare: Doggy day care pickup is by 5 PM. If pickup is needed after 5 PM, please book boarding instead so I can properly accommodate your pup's evening and overnight care routine. Boarding Requirements: To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, I currently only accept: • Dogs that are reasonably potty trained • Friendly dogs that do well around people and other dogs • Dogs that are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention Because I provide care in my personal home, I may not be the best fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, or frequent indoor accidents.
“Alicia was an absolute blessing while we were across the country for a vacation. We received constant updates and photos of our fur babies while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again for future trips!!”
“Repeat here! Brandy is so amazing! Left for a longer trip this time and my Basil couldn’t have been in more capable hands. If Brandy accepts your booking, know that she is going to take the BEST care of your fur baby! Thank you so much Brandy!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sadie was awesome and took great care of my boys while I was away. Great communication and letting me know how they were doing. Would highly recommend and will definitely request her care again!”
“Saffron always is so attentive and compassionate with Ellie, our Sr pup. When she spotted a worm in her stool she was quick to notify us, picked up the dewormer from our vet and administered the medication promptly. We are always happy with the job she does!”
“Josh has been great to work with- very knowledgeable as a fellow pet lover. He went above and beyond by escorting our very senior dog out the dog door and spending time outside with him.”
“Alyson is so good with our English springer spaniel. She responds to texts extremely quickly and is very flexible if your schedule changes. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a drop in visit!”
“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!”
“Chelsea did a great job with our cats. Arrived home to a clean and tidy kitchen and litter boxes. She is a good communicator and we enjoyed the pictures she sent. We recommend her as a terrific sitter!”
“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!”
“Jennifer has a way with dogs! She kept my pups happy and healthy while we were gone, provided as lots of updates and kept in constant contact. I trust my pups with her completely and they were always happy to see her. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be re-booking with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
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!
Jennifer is awesome! Her visits are extremely thorough and she is very diligent about making sure everything is taken care of while also making my pet feel comfortable and taken care of. I love how many photos she takes every time she visits and her daily visit journals are always super detailed. I cannot recommend her enough!
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 for Pet Sitting in Summerville on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,705 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Summerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
