“Carly is amazing!! Charlie had a blast with her and her children. She kept me updated with pictures and texts. I’m so so happy and Charlie will absolutely be back to stay with her again :)”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Emily kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gunner came home happy and clearly well-loved. It was obvious he received lots of attention, playtime, and excellent care. It's such a relief to find someone who treats your pet like family. If you're looking for a loving and reliable Rover sitter, I recommend Emily and Tarek without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Gunner!”

“Julia was awesome! I went down to Charleston for the weekend and wanted to bring my pup but leave her somewhere close so she didn’t have to be in a hotel by herself while we did tourist activities. She was super flexible with us with pickup times and very responsive to messages. I’d love to rebook with her and her sweet pup again if I’m back in the area.”
“Alyssa was so great! Sent regular updates with pics/videos and she was so patient with my dog who takes a little time to warm up. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away!”
“Gabriela was fantastic! She was so easy to coordinate with on the front end, and very accommodating for a last minute request. She was also great with my pup and sent multiple pictures each day”
“Could not have found a warmer, more welcoming and attentive home than what John provided for our little dog, Ozzie, for 3 nights in May. It was our 1st time leaving him somewhere-it was hard, but they sent us regular updates with photos and messages showing Ozzie making himself quite at home! It was such a blessing to know that he was in the best of care. Will absolutely use again-can’t recommend enough!!!”

“Toad had a great time ! She got to run around in a lovely huge backyard and had constant attention, plus another Pug to play with. She even got to explore the neighborhood with walks. I can tell she misses her new Pug friend too. Abby even mixed some of her own food with Toads to get to her to eat there since she was a little nervous the first day. I was kept updated with pictures and communication the whole time. I can tell Toad had a wonderful time and would use Abigail again to watch Toad for a day or boarding without hesitation!”
“Sharon is a Gem!! She went well out of her way to take care of my senior diabetic dog and can’t thank her enough!!! This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter after being diagnosed diabetic and I didn’t worry at all because I knew he was in good hands. Sharon genuinely cares about your pup and she is one of the nicest people I have met. Sharon thank you so much for taking great care of Rudy so I could enjoy my son’s wedding weekend !!”
“Kimberly & Dylan were great! They took amazing care of my dog Jake and sent daily photos and updates. I had unexpected flight delays and they kindly took Jake for an extra night very last minute.”
“Fantastic! When staying with Jeremiah my dog was living his best life! He cruised the town in a convertible, hit the sand at Sullivans, sunbathed on the back porch & snoozed on the sofa (using Jeremiah's feet for a pillow!). Communication was perfect & the photos were awesome.”
“Anthony was awesome! He was communicative and clearly a dog lover. He is a cute dog Duke that kept our company. He sent photos. The ground great walks.Let our dog on the couch and even in his bed!! we will absolutely use him again if he’s willing to take Pippa back”

We will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have pet sat for lots of my neighbors and family friends.

Having dogs my whole life, I have perfected the skill of walking dogs and caring for them, inside and outside of the house. I will love any dog I get the chance to meet!

“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”
“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.”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Christina took great care of our two boys. We received multiple pictures of their stay. She even used our ThunderShirt during a thunderstorm with Cash. We would love to use her more often if we were local. She will be our go-to sitter when we are in town.”

About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“2nd stay with Kathryn as we road trip through Charleston. Buster was here a few months ago on another road trip, and as we drove up today, he seemed to remember and went right in without saying goodbye to me! So I know he was happy. :-)”
About: Kind, caring, gentle. High energy and I like nothing more than going for a good long walk. I enjoy getting to the beach. love being around dogs. I love to play and very open to cuddles. Just recently retired (young) so I have a lot of new found time on my hands. Flexible schedule for the most part. Weekends are also ok for my schedule. Have permits for Sullivan's ansld go there almost daily. I am very outdoorsy. I enjoy going for long walks but equally as happy staying in. I have a fenced in yard. I am firm but playful. In control and physically able to handle big dogs. I respect owners wishes and follow instructions to the letter
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Growing up in the Philippines, I regularly helped take care of my neighbors’ pets, as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like family. 🐾💕 I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays, depending on my schedule. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of nearby space for walks and outdoor time. I have a friendly 6-year-old cat and a 9-month-old baby, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m attentive to pets’ safety and needs and will make sure they have a comfortable, calm, and supervised environment while they’re in my care.
About: I’ve cared for dogs all my life and have extensive experience with older pups who need medication or extra patience. My home is child-free, and fenced in, and I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Whether your pup loves walks or just wants a peaceful place to rest, they’ll be treated like family here. We recently rescued a cute scruffy mixed terrier named Arthur. He LOVES all dogs so if you’re looking for companionship for your pup, he’s your guy! (Pups in the profile photo are our babies we lost in 2024 and 2025. Sitting thru Rover over the holidays helped us heal enough to adopt again in Feb❤️) Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and breaks throughout the day. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, walks, meds, and all. You can count on regular updates and photos so you know your pup is happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. My fenced-in yard gives them space to sniff and stretch safely, and all walks are on-leash in our quiet neighborhood.
About: Hello, fellow dog lovers! We live in downtown Charleston and would love to watch your dog. We graduated from USC in 2020 and moved to Charleston from NYC. We like to spend our free time walking the pitt street bridge, going to the beach (only dog-friendly ones!), and recently getting into intense pickleball matches. Animals have a special place in our hearts and after college, we decided to adopt! We have a four year old Australian shepherd/Golden retriever named Sallie. She is the sweetest dog always looking for a friend to run around with. You can trust your baby with us! I'm fully remote and my husband works downtown! We take our dog Sallie to the park in the three times a day. On the weekend, we love to go for morning walks all over Charleston. Tiring out the doggos is our main priority when we have a visitor. In our home we have two bedrooms if your dog needs space to relax on their own. As well as a porch for afternoon tanning. Sallie can lay out there for hours.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a deep love for all animals. I currently have a 5 year old Great Dane/Lab mix named Maxwell who keeps me active, attentive and well-versed in daily dog care and companionship. Needless to say, I am comfortable with large breeds! I am a kind, caring and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your fur baby! I work remotely, which allows me a flexible schedule and the ability to step away throughout the day as needed. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime and check-ins without rushing. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I am very attentive, loving, reliable and I treat every pet as if it were my own.

“Alyssa cared for my dog as if she were her own! She was very communicative and flexible. She walked my dog extra after a rain storm and gave her personalized care. I value her attention and updates.”

“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Haze while taking him for multiple walks throughout the day, she spent extra time showing him love and even brought packages inside for me. Will definitely be scheduling more walks with her in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up rescuing dogs and cats while also consistently volunteering at various animals shelters. I’ve been a pet sitter for a while! I’m currently waiting until the fall to start my job and will be working part time as a personal trainer until then giving me lots of availability and flexibility to take care of your pets! I’m very understanding of different pets needs and rules that you may have for your pet and can be very flexible to make sure that your pet is perfectly cared for!
“Braylee was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute walking request, she was communicative and followed instructions and I came home to healthy happy pup. I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets for friends, family, and others. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I provide attentive and loving care, including walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, medication when needed, and plenty of cuddles and attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible weekly schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop in visits, and longer stays, and I have flexibility during both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for without making them feel rushed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible, whether that means morning walks, midday check ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, respect their space and personality, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
“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.”
“I was very hesitant having someone come to care for my dog and Anabella instantly put me at ease. She was very communicative and kind. She understood my concerns, yet assured me Kobe would be in great hands. I have already booked her for four more visits, some of which include overnights. I couldn't be more grateful that I found Anabella and how well she cared for my Kobe girl.”
“Bryan was exceptionally kind, patient, super caring, and every other positive thing that I could wish for. Maisie & Emmie have trauma histories, with currently differing levels of reactivity. Maisie went right to Bryan for head pats! Bryan patiently waited to go Emmie's pace. Within 1 visit, he was lounging against Bryan while receiving genuinely loving belly rubs, as Bryan used his other arm to throw the ball. It was miraculous to see because E can take a while to warm. I am absolutely overjoyed with Bryan's services, and we are so excited to have him come back!”
About: I am a registered nurse that works 3-4 days a week, and have 2 Labrador retrievers at home as well as my cat Nora. Needless to say, I know how hard it is to find care for pets at home while I’m away. I can handle walking two young Labrador retrievers at the same time, and am well familiar with their abundance of energy. I grew up with two small dogs, so I really work well with animals of all sizes! I would love to help you lighten your load and take your babies out for walks or check on in them when you need! I am very flexible, just communicate with me and I’ll do my best to help you out. My schedule varies a lot, especially during the holidays. So, feel free to put the request in and I will get back to you as soon as I can to let you know if I am available. I have a lot of free time on my days off and would love to spend time with more pets! I handle all pets with care, show them that I am trust worthy and build this over time. I will give them breakfast or dinner if you ask!
“Thank you for everything you did for Brody!! Thank you so much for filling in at short notice. You did great!! I look forward to working with you in the future! Emma is such a delight and kind soul! I felt good leaving my little guy with her!”

About: I have looked over 100+ dogs in 20 years. I worked at camp bow wow as a camp counselor. I Excel in training becauseof my abilityto communicate to animals. I do have epilepsy so dogs tend to gravitate towards me and listen to me more clearly. I adapt to any dog i come in contact with. I am available 9am to 2pm every single day. I do work full time from 3 or 4pm to 1230am so I am looking for part time positive engaging work. My pup was the king of his castle however he was required to listen. I utilize Victoria Stillwel's training techniques. I prefer to give enrichment activities that make situations fun. I am a pastry chef so I do make puppy safe treats that assist in their diet requirements. I also do engaging bath times utilizing massage therapy to create a less anxious situation.
