About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Carly and her husband did a wonderful job sitting our pup, Merlin, for the weekend! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of Merlin throughout the day. We definitely wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Jordan was fantastic with our dog! He’s a puppy so he can be a handful and needs more attention than most, but she handled everything so well. She sent regular updates and pictures, kept us in the loop the whole time, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Animals have always been a significant part of my life, as my family dog even helped me take my first steps.

One neighbor invited me over every Tuesday to meet her new foster puppy of the week, which is how I adopted my first puppy, Rocky. During my senior year of high school, I got my second dog, Sadie, who has taught me as much as I have taught her. My experience extends beyond my pets, as friends and family come to me for help with training their new puppies and to take care of their pets while they are away. Whether you have a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. If you're looking for a sitter who truly understands dogs and will love your pet as if they were my own, I’d love to help! I am currently looking for job opportunities so my schedule is wide open. Let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I will be happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a two-bedroom condo with my 9y/o dog Sadie, who loves having new friends around. I also have a neighborhood dog park just a short walk away, where I take her to run around and get her energy out. We also have lots of great walking paths and parks around us to explore. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I can follow your routines and will prioritize their safety and comfort above all else.

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: 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!

My hours are flexible depending on the week! I usually am around before 8 am and after 12 pm M-F. I am around all day on Saturday and Sunday! My home- we do not have a yard so I would walk the dog multiple times a day and have the pup sleep on my carpet. Client’s home- I can stay over or just stop by periodically depending on preferences!

He had 1 or 2 canine buddies to hang out with during the day and, from what I could see, they had a very nice back yard! I am grateful for her flexibility and the care she took of Diego. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my household my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for animal care. Being so familiar with dogs, I am willing to adapt and learn how to take the best care for your animal. When I come to play, walk, and care for your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. Specifically growing up I’ve helped train two golden retrievers within my family. I’ve also dog sat for family friends and neighbors growing up and would love to help out any dog owners downtown that need an extra hand! I am currently living in Charleston as a full time CofC student and am available for drop ins and/or house sittings! I am pretty flexible and can take on last minute bookings. I’m currently a full time worker at a coffee shop, so my shifts are typically early morning to midday. I have the rest of my days free and would love to help out as much as I can! I walk daily and am very familiar with the neighborhood. I have a lot of flexible availability to go on long walks or multiple walks a day.
“I was very nervous to use Rover but since I have to stay late at work occasionally, I wanted an option for my dog. Sam has been so great with Charlie. He’s very flexible and communicative. He’s been letting her out once a week and it’s really put my mind at ease. He always sends me a picture and gives me a little update. He was also very patient and understanding of me being nervous to let someone else take care of my dog. I know my dog Charlie really likes him as well.”

About: I have nearly a decade of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and repeat households. I’m especially experienced with adult dogs who thrive on routine and are comfortable being alone during the workday. I focus on consistency, calm care, and clear communication, and I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every home with respect. I work full-time during standard business hours and provide pet care before and after work, as well as overnight house sitting.

About: I currently travel for work and do odd jobs including private events and house cleaning. Because of my frequent travels, I am unable to have a pup of my own. I was raised around dogs my entire life. My 13 year old pitbull passed away 3 years ago and he was a handful but dog ownership is so rewarding. I love animals and have a lot of free time between seasonal jobs so I like to pet/house sit to keep busy. I am currently working odd jobs all over the Charleston area so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am on a staycation between seasonal jobs at the moment and have a lot of spare time. I am better with routines and love a tidy space. I’m always super mindful of taking in the neighborhood so we are safe on walks.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, ranging from energetic puppies to calm seniors, and everything from small breeds to large ones. That variety has taught me how to adjust my approach with puppies vs older dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and just being attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I have a very flexible schedule right now with lots of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or boarding stays on short notice, and can adjust easily around your pet’s routine and any specific timing needs you have. I live in a house without a yard, so daily walks are part of our routine to make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I don’t currently have a crate on hand, but I’m attentive and hands-on, giving your pet my full focus without other pets around to compete for attention.
“Kristin walked Tucker on Halloween night during one of my shifts. She left great notes of the walk and took cute pictures! She’s very responsive and I can tell she loves dogs. Will definitely be booking for future walks!”
About: I’ve helped take care of dogs since I was 10. I helped train our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy at a young age, and played a great role in taking care of her for the next six years. I’ve dog sat and dog walked friends and families dogs plenty of times over the past few years. Some of these dogs were beagles, labradors, retrievers, and collies. I’m currently an undergraduate student, I only have two or three classes a day and then I’m available for the rest of the day! When I’m on school breaks, I work a part time job, giving me a lot of free time to watch your fur baby. My house has a fenced in yard making it easy to take out your pet. I have no other pets currently, ensuring you a safe environment if they’re at my home. I can easily put your pet in a crate if needed, and I’m very attentive!

About: I’ve taking care of many animals growing up from my own dogs and cats to farm sitting my freshman year of college. I’ve grown up with animals in the house so I learned the responsibilities of taking care of animals fast. I also pet sit along with babysitting while in high school. My freshman year of college I farm sat for a family close to my campus with animals such as dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, geese, rabbits, and goats, so my experience with animals is quite broad. Along with that the past few months I’ve been fostering dogs. I’ve worked with dogs after surgery, energetic puppies and very anxious dogs. I currently work in downtown Charleston and on Mount Pleasant so I can typically be available for overnight stays and drop ins around breakfast, lunch and dinner. I enjoy walking frequently around the Charleston Battery when I can and would love to have a furry friend join me. If the dogs come with me, I live in an apartment but enjoy going on walks around the city and near the parks and waterfronts. If I was to take care of the animal in your home I am up for a long walk and do what is needed to make your animal and you comfortable.
About: As a life-long animal lover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many pets of family and friends. I have over 10 years experience in dog walking, sitting and check-ins. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I work full-time monday through thursday with availability to do morning and evening walks, check-ins etc. My availability from friday through sunday is very open. I am very attentive to the pets whereabouts and safety when caring for them and am very comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities.

“Lea is always the best host for my two goldens, they come home so happy and tired from all the walks and play and have the best time with her. 1000% always recommend and couldn’t be more grateful for her and her care!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over a decade. I have cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, parrots, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and have a very open schedule, so I am looking to spend my time doing something i love- caring for animals! I have cared for animals of all personalities and types, and have experience handling medications and fixing invisible fences as well! Im currently a fresh grad and job searching so I can very flexible. I want to keep working while i search for my next move in life! I live in an apartment downtown, so I do not have a yard. That being said, it is better for me to house-sit than board, but I am open to boarding as i live near several parks like Marion square!
“Rebecca was a fantastic sitter!! She took such great care of my dog, Kona, while I was out of town. Her dog, Bruce, is very friendly and got along great with Kona! Rebecca sent updates and pictures daily, which I greatly appreciated! She even took the dogs to the beach one day! Highly recommend. I will be using Rebecca for all of my dog sitting needs in the future!”
“We would be happy to have Zach watch our dog again! His communication was great with updates and photos daily while we were away, and he went above and beyond to make sure our pup got a special treat for her birthday that would work for her allergy and dietary restrictions which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend Zach!”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was born, so I am well equipped with the skills to care and look after your sweet pups! I have a very flexible schedule, I do work a few days a week during the day, but I have very free afternoon and morning! My dogs have a big yard, multiple walks a day, and comfy beds to sleep in. They are spoiled with treats and toys and love their cuddles.
“Kimberly and Dylan have been wonderful with Tucker. When we leave him with them we have the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. They take him on walks and play with him as if he was their own. Highly recommend them!”
“Julia is great! Very kind, worked with me well- kept me informed and sent lots of pictures and stories of my dog while I was gone on vacation. I’ll definitely have her sit my dog again!”
“Kendra was an amazing sitter and would highly recommend her. Our dog is a senior pet and has mobility issues. She was so accommodating, kind to him, and made sure he was well taken care of. I had no worries at all while we were away for the evening.”
“Cali had a great stay with lots of walks and meeting new friends. We were sent tons of pictures with Cali on walks and hanging with friends. We were delayed on our way back and Richard was great and understanding of our situation and was happy to keep Cali until we could pick her up. Would definitely go back and would recommend to friends and family!”
