“Nadra was an all around amazing sitter! We had a nice meet & greet so that my dog was comfortable going to her house prior to the sit. She has a nice big yard and my girl just loved it. Nadra sent daily updates and pictures! She was very responsive! I highly recommend her and will definitely seek her services in the future.”

“Kathryn was fookin amazing! She went above and beyond on taking care of our dopey golden, Dug. Bonus points on that our puppies were the same age and have now become best friends for playing and napping. Would book with Kathryn 11/10 times.”
“Bootsie and her husband are the best! So caring, sweet, supportive, and communicative. Our pup loved playing with them in their great back yard, going on walks, and being cared for around the clock. We will be using them again!!!”
“Christina (and family) was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Roux over the holiday and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Roux received lots of love, attention, and care during the stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book with Christina again.”
“If your looking for a place for your dog to have a big backyard, a sweet other dog to play with and some amazing people to take care of your dog, then Julia is who you should book with with! My dog Cappy stayed with her all weekend and she was very attentive at sending me pictures and updating me if anything happened. She also has a very sweet and loving black lab that will be a great play buddy for any dog. She is also very flexible with pickup and drop off times and is very quick with responding back. Thank you again Julia!”
“Our two older boys came with us to Charleston for a family vacation. Our accommodations were not pet friendly but I wanted them to be nearby as they can be anxious when alone for extended periods. Anna and her husband were great and kept us updated on our boys all week. I could tell they felt right at home. She made sure they had what they needed and her home was great for my boys and similar to what they were used to at home. She sent me frequent updates and photos throughout the week. We appreciate her loving them like her own and will definitely use her services again if in the area with the pups! I recommend her for any family who wants their pups to be safe and happy while they are vacationing- I had peace of mind the whole time we were away!”
“I have used Rover a lot over the years and I am not exaggerating when I say that Taylor is the best Rover we have ever used! She took incredible care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She sent so many thoughtful updates with pictures and took them on long walks. I could tell they were happy and relaxed by how much they loved snuggling with her on the couch! Taylor is a true dog lover and so kind, I can’t recommend her more!”
“Sasha is the best of the best! She took such great care of my pup while I was on a trip. She sent me photos and updates, and was so attentive to him even though he was anxious. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking her to watch Puck again!”
“I can tell Sunny had such a great time and I appreciate the pictures of her sent to me each day! Sunny was well taken care of and loved playing and walking with John’s dog.. Sweet people I highly recommend!!”
“Truly a home away from home for our dog. Kathy, Gabe, and their dog Jasper made every aspect of our boarding experience fantastic. Knowledgeable and clear communication and the priceless peace of mind that our dog was being cared for as if she was their own. Book with confidence!”
“As first time Rover customers, we knew our dog was in great hands with Anne. She watched Daisy for several days and kept in touch with daily video and picture updates that reassured us as we traveled. Despite our young Springer's often high energy antics, Anne’s spacious fenced-in yard gave Daisy plenty of space to run under Anne's watchful eye. We wouldn't hesitate to have Anne care for Daisy again.”

“Caroline dropped in to check on our cats when we went camping for the weekend. She went by at the windows we asked and sent photos as requested. We felt assured knowing we had her to check in on them while we were away.”
“Dakota is a wonderful and responsible caregiver. My cats love her and that’s says a lot because our ine cat, Cat Stevens, never comes out of hiding when a stranger is in the house and he couldn’t get enough petting and love from her. She showed up when she said she would, took care of the cats, the litter, the food and water and gave them both tons of love and attention. I highly recommend Dakota if you’re looking for quality pet care!”
“Stacey was wonderful! Our two year old cat, Boston, quickly bonded with her and had the best visit! We appreciated her quick responses, great communication, and the pictures and updates she sent regularly. We will schedule with her again real soon!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our girls. It meant a lot knowing they were well cared for while we were away on vacation. It definitely eases your mind knowing that somebody is caring for them like you would. I loved seeing all the pictures and updates of the girls on a daily basis. So awesome. Erika is a wonderful cat sitter and would definitely recommend her to anybody.”
“Reagan did a great job. She helped care for my very geriatric cat and her particular needs. She kept her thriving for the 1.5 weeks I was away. Would re-hire and would recommend.”

“Emily and Tarek were absolutely wonderful with Zuess. You can tell right away that she genuinely cares about dogs and pays attention to their personalities, not just the routine parts of care. Zuess came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very loved. She kept me updated, made me feel comfortable while I was away, and treated him like he was her own. 5 stars <3”
“Adam was great with Venus today! He sent pictures and she had a great time visiting him with other dogs. He has excellent skills with her as a new dog learning his que for stopping something that we will be using at home! Thanks Adam!”
“Christina was amazing with my puppy Freddie! She is clearly very experienced with dog watching and did an amazing job. Freddie had a great day, and I really appreciated the photo updates. When I brought him home, he was so relaxed and sleepy from a day full of fun and activities! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mandie was a lifesaver! She was able to take our pup with no advance notice so we could enjoy a visit to Charleston and visit places pets are not allowed. Our pup had a lovely, relaxing time with Mandie.”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I raised and cared for everything from high-energy German Shepherds and independent Shiba Inus, to intelligent Poodles and sweet Papillons. In addition to owning pets, my family and I have fostered dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds my entire life. This lifelong experience has taught me how to read dog body language, build quick trust, and provide the exact care, patience, and exercise your pup needs. Whether your dog loves long, athletic runs or gentle, sniff-heavy strolls, they will be treated like family with me I am available full time throughout the week and am very flexible with last minute bookings. Monday- Sunday 8am-8pm. Please send a message and we can discuss further. I have a safe place for them to stay and great walking trail nearby. All fenced in and ready to be cared and walked. I also do drop in visits and overnights at clients home.
“Meghan sent photos and updates of Prince throughout the day. I greatly appreciated her being able to watch Prince! He seemed to have had a great time and slept on the ride home.”
“Kathryn was quick to reply on the short notice booking. She had great communication throughout the stay and send updates on how our pup was doing. We definitely recommend and will book with again when we return to Folly! Thank you for taking such special care of our boy! 💗”
About: As a fellow dog momma, I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby with someone else. My goal is to make both you and your pup feel comfortable, safe, and cared for by providing personalized, one-on-one care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention they’re used to at home 🩷. You’ll receive daily photo updates, prompt communication, and personalized attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your family member is in loving hands. I am currently on summer break from my school based job so I am home for the majority of days. Once school starts back up, I am a work from home employee so your pup will have unlimited access to our house. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your fur baby will feel secure, safe, and relaxed. My backyard is fenced in and my house offers one floor to make moving around easy. I follow each pet’s routine to include feeding, walking, play, medications, and any specific instructions. I believe clear communication is essential so I provide regular photo and video updates to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create safe and positive experiences for both you and your baby.
“Anna is the absolute best!! we have a very quirky dog and she knew exactly how to handle him, exactly how to care for him and treated him like gold! She is incredibly kind, has a great spirit and super positive attitude. We loved having Anna watch Wrigley and will always be our first call when we need a sitter! I can't recommend her enough, she's amazing!!!”
“Mike was able to take Tillie on short notice and did a wonderful job looking after her for me. Very easy pick up and drop off! Will definitely have Tillie stay again if I can’t be home.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities for nearly 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following detailed routines. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible and pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m able to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, checkins, and keeping your pet’s normal schedule. I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and safety instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
“What can I say about Meagan except that she's incredible! Her love, and her care for her own dogs, and all the dogs that she watches is amazing! We are a repeat customer and always love bringing our furry little guy to her! He is happy and tired when he gets home and we know he's had a great day! The report card she sends always shows pictures and comments and we love it - it's something extra special sharing how our little guy did! Highly highly highly recommend Meagan”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am counting down the days until I can get my own! Would love to help make yours have the best days possible with walks and endless attention! I am fully remote living in downtown Charleston and have a pet friendly house on Queen St. I am able to walk dogs several times throughout the day as well as have them over and am absolutely obsessed with dogs. I grew up with yellow labs (Blue & Roo) and am so excited to get my own in the next year! I love all dogs, and have experience rovering in NYC for years. I am happy to do whatever your pup needs to make them feel most at home!
“Alyssa watched my Goldendoodle, Roscoe yesterday. She was super communicative, sending me pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell he was being very well cared for. He is scared of new people and other dogs, and she followed all of my directions on helping him through his big feelings. Thank you so much, Alyssa! I will definitely be using you again!”
“Gabriella watched my little fur baby while I took in the sites in downtown Charleston. She is very close to the sightseeing and it was very convenient. She took good care of him and I will definitely be booking her again when I go back.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud cat + dog mom who truly treats every pet like my own. What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with dogs of every life stage — from tiny puppies to wise seniors. I used to breed dogs, so I’m very comfortable with young litters, potty training, socialization, and all the playful chaos that comes with puppies. On the other end, I cared for my own dog through her golden years until she was nearly 14, so I know how to give seniors the gentle care, extra patience, and comfort they deserve. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy who needs structure, a senior who just wants soft bedding and slow walks, or a cat who prefers calm companionship and playtime on their terms, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m based in Charleston and love exploring local spots for safe, enriching walks and adventures. Most importantly, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well-cared for — because to me, they’re family too. I am currently working but I have off every Wednesday and a few Monday and Fridays. I would love to do this full time eventually. I will make sure to follow your specific instructions for your individual pet needs. Every dog and/or cat will be treated like my own.
“Abby is awesome! Highly recommend, she takes great care of my 2 dogs and one of them is a senior with mobility issues and Abby goes above and beyond for her. Thanks Abby!”
“Carly was excellent! From the moment we asked if she was available to walk our girl, Penny Pearl, to each visit, Carly delivered. She was timely, helpful and Penny Pearl loved her! We will definitely request her again!”
“Kristin was fabulous when we needed someone to step in while our default dog sitter was gone! She took lots of photos and wrote great summaries. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up with a yellow lab, a rescue pup, french bulldog husky mix, and a chug (chihuahua pug mix,) along with a couple cats! Once I got into high school and college, I began dog sitting for family friends, and then it grew to word of mouth, dog sitting nearly every other week. I am currently working from home everyday. I am able to check in on your animals before work, during the day (couple times if needed), and then after work as needed. On weekends, I am free when I am in town to spend whatever needed time. I would care for your pets like they’re my own. I moved from Maine about 4 years ago, therefor I miss my parents animals dearly and would love to play and care for your animals like my own to fill that void.
“Brittany was great! I don’t use Rover that often and it still sort of freaks me out sometimes. Brittany sent some photos of Porter and left a cute note before she left. I felt so much better having Porter get some awesome attention mid day when I was at work.”
About: Hi! My name is Grace and I am an active and reliable college student living downtown and have cared for dogs and had pets my whole life! I have been watching and walking dogs since the beginning of high school, I’ve been caring for my neighbors puppy and am looking for some more pups to care for! Feel free to reach out with any questions!! It’s summer right now so I have a lot of free time, I only work a part time job currently on Monday and Tuesday evenings!! I’m looking to fill up my schedule! I treat every pet I watch as my own! I am very reliable and attentive and follow instructions very carefully to ensure your pets safety and comfort!
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I was the one looking after our family pets, and that love only grew over time. In 2020, I welcomed my own dog, Hoss. He quickly became my best friend and a true part of my family. Because of that bond, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog and cat I watch with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Hoss now has a younger brother, Dooley, an English Springer Spaniel with a sweet and easygoing personality. Together, they help create a calm, welcoming environment for visiting pets. They love to play when another dog is interested, but they are also very respectful of dogs who prefer space, rest, or a quieter visit. My husband and I own a house in West Ashley with a doggy door that leads to a big fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to romp around. Both the greenway and a park nearby are within walking distance for our walks around the neighborhood. One of the things that sets me apart is the range of care I can provide. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the patience and consistency needed during teething, house-training, and early routines. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medication, monitoring comfort levels, and making sure they feel safe, supported, and relaxed. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and in need of extra attention, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. My husband and I also foster for local rescues, including Journey Home Alliance and Lowcountry Lab Rescue. Through fostering, we have worked with dogs who have separation anxiety and need extra reassurance, structure, and patience to come out of their shell. Helping those dogs feel secure and comfortable in a temporary home has been one of the most meaningful parts of my experience, and it has strengthened my ability to care for pets with different personalities, backgrounds, and emotional needs. Our home is a friendly and flexible space for pets of different temperaments. Both Hoss and Dooley are dog-friendly and know how to read another dog’s energy—if a guest wants to play, they are happy to join in, and if a guest prefers to relax, they are equally content to give them space. They are also cat friendly, so we are comfortable caring for households with feline family members as well. Our goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away! I'm currently working from home, so I have more flexibility during the day for drop ins, walks, and boarding. I also have availability on the weekends. Between me and my husband, someone is generally almost always home. We have a fenced in yard with two animal friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They are used to having animals come and go in our house through fostering rescue animals. Animals are treated like family in our home and are allowed on furniture. I can also easily crate your dog if needed while I am away from the house.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals. I have a cat of my own who is 8 years old and loves to play! I’m a nurse and will take great care of your animals! I work only three days a week as a nurse and would have time on my days off to do drop in visits for pets! I care for my pet by providing regular food and water, giving them exercise, providing a clean litter box, and making sure there are no hazards.
“Rachel spent the week walking my dog, Bran, 2x/day. She did an excellent job. It was a crazy heat wave and my dog was a bit limp from the heat but she got him out and about at the park running around off leash. Thanks Rachel for doing a great job. Bran loves you!”

About: I just haven’t met them yet! Your furry bestie is going to have the time of their lives when I take care of them. I am very reliable and responsible. I have experience with all types and personalities and I can’t wait to meet your hairy besties! I have almost all weekdays between 9-2 to take care of your pets! I am also available for weekends and night, just reach out and I will make it work. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a lovely dog park, and walking trails. Your pet will feel right at home enjoying the trails and trees.
About: Hi my new friend! I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. From having multiple cats of my own, to caring for loved ones dogs, cats, and rabbits, I can easily and enjoy walking, playing, and taking care of animals. I run my own business, and am a Pilates instructor on the side. I have plenty of flexibility in my week to care for my pets when said pets need me most! I can easily ensure your pet is safe both in home home and on the go! I am comfortable crating, gearing up, and ensuring the fence stays shut 🤪
