“Michelle took such great care of our two dogs. Our big mutt is kinda weird with other dogs & needs someone to care for him who understands his body language and nuisances. Michelle was incredibly qualified for Rip’a “weirdness.” She sent several pictures and checked in frequently. She also had great advice for training and information I should look into to better care for Rip. If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable caregiver, look no further! Michelle is wonderful.”
“Vilma was an excellent rover!! We needed a sitter very last minute and she stepped in no problem. She kept us updated on how Stanley was doing the whole time, and even trimmed his nails and gave him a cute bandana to send him home in :) We will definitely be booking with Vilma again!”
“Kathy was amazing. She took such great care of my two dogs while I was gone for a week. She sent me daily pictures of my dogs and gave me updates. My dogs love her! I would absolutely go back to her when I need a dog sitter and would recommend her to everyone.”

“Bengie loved being there he had a great vacation played a lot and eat a lot also he was happy. Thank you Amanda for treating him as your own. Definitely will use Amanda boarding service when needed again.”
“Alyssa could not have been more wonderful. She was great with Shay, came through in an emergency like a champ. We are so grateful for her, and will request her if we return to Charleston.”
“Genny took excellent care of our dog! From the meet and greet, to all the pictures she sent during his stay, we knew he was loved and in good hands. Her dog is very friendly and was a great playmate for our dog.”
“Bijayata was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent adorable pictures multiple times throughout each day. Prue was clearly happy during her stay and had the best time. It eased my nerves knowing she was being well taken care of and was comfortable while I was away. I will definitely book Bijayata every time I’m out of town, no question.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lauren! My dog & cat absolutely loved her and when we came home, they were even happier than before we left. That wasn't the case when we had boarded them in a kennel on our last trip. We highly recommend her. An easy process too! ????”
“Carrie is so awesome! I would highly recommend anyone to book with her! She spoiled my baby and treated him like he was one of theirs, truly an animal lover. She is very communicative and I loved all the updates about the dogs and their daily activities. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Stephanie is wonderful! She provides frequent updates and is very accommodating with drop off and pick up. I trust her with my dog and will certainly be using her again!”
About: I I have grown up around animals, with my family having 5 dog, 2 cats, and hamsters at one point in time! I am open to caring for pets of all kinds. I have loved all of my furry critters, and enjoy meeting and caring for all of my friends pets as well. I graduated from Clemson University in 2023 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal and Veterinary Sciences. I continued my education with a Masters of Science in Biomedical Sciences from MUSC. I have a very diverse experience with different breeds of both dogs and cats, and spent many years from high school to now pet sitting. I have a wide knowledge of different types of animals and their behavior from my diverse education. I am currently looking for work between graduating MUSC and starting my new job! Right now I have a wide range of available hours, and would love to work out something that fits in your schedule. I currently have my own space, with the availability to walk your dogs around my complex, or I can come to you if that works better. I am able to take the animals to the park, with a big enough car to transport them.
“This is my second time leaving Chloe and Rufus with Mrs Carol and I have found my forever fur-baby sitter if she is available… Mrs Carol is extremely attentive and loving. We were lucky to have found Mrs Carol and will continue to use her as long as she will have us. Forever grateful”

“Mia stepped up big time while I was deployed to Antarctica and I could not be more thankful for her! She watched my cats for almost 4 months and I received pictures every day as well as notes about how they were doing. THANK YOU SO MUCH MIA!!”
“Carolynn was absolutely amazing with my cats and made me feel so much better about leaving them for the first time. Her notes and pictures from each visit were great and she even took out the recycling without me asking! I will definitely use her again.”
“Katrina was on time, detailed with a report as well as photos on her visit with Sullivan & took extra time to train him during her hour session with him. He really enjoys when Katrina comes over as she is really great with pet care! Highly recommend!!”
“Stacey was wonderful with Matilda! She was consistent with her visits and gave Tilly lots of scratches. She sent photo/video updates every day as well which helps me feel better about leaving my baby home while I’m traveling. She even brought in some packages that got delivered while I was gone which was SUPER helpful. Definitely recommend.”
“Stephanie was incredible. She was very communicative and cared for my boys as if they were her own. She went above and beyond and will be my first choice the next time I go out of town.”
“Ella did an amazing job with Fitzgerald and George Michael! She was on top of giving GM his daily inhaler and his rescue inhaler if he needed it. Every day she would provide a quick update with pictures of the boys and let me know if they had caused any trouble. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and would definitely have her watch the boys again.”
“Sam was incredible! She was communicative, caring and tolerant of my very personality filled house. She was not only willing to learn how to care for my special needs kitten, but did a great job with her care. Left my house in great condition as well. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been working in animal rescues since I was little! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and tempers. I have ample knowledge on what is needed for each type of animal and would love to help you out with your pets! I am a full time student at MUSC, but have majority of the afternoons and some mornings free! I also have a cat myself, but she is very low maintenance and does not require too much of my time. I make sure each pet is comfortable and happy in their own environment! I know when an animal needs it’s space or when it wants attention. It is very important to be able to read each animal and gauge what they enjoy, and I can definitely provide this!

“Hands down Vilma is the best Rover pet sitter we have ever used. She is caring and always puts our dog Whimsy at ease. We've had Vilma take care of Whimsy on three occasions and she has always gone above and beyond to make the experience exceptional. If you are in the Charleston, SC area and need a sitter...you should definitely contact Vilma.”

“The first couple of times I took Kimber to Carrie’s she wanted to leave with me. She had terrible separation anxiety. (I got her from a shelter). After about a week, she got more comfortable. Now when I drop her off she walks in like she owns the place, plops down on the sofa and waits for Carrie to turn the tv on for her😂”
“Alita is amazing!!! Just moved here from Vegas and have been looking for a home away from home for my sweet baby Blue. My separation anxiety has been a bit high especially in a new state, new environmental variables with a Frenchie but Alita set all my worries to ease immediately!!! He had so much fun, made lots of new friends and I got lots of pics!! I couldn’t be happier!! I am so thankful!!”

About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.
About: Dogs have been part of our family for our entire lives, and caring for them has always come naturally to us. We grew up with dogs and understand that they’re more than pets—they’re family members who deserve love, patience, attention, and a safe place to feel at home. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and we treat every dog in our care like one of our own. Whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, keeping routines consistent, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away, we focus on creating a calm and caring environment. Our goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely at ease—so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being cared for like family. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into ours! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I work from home and have a flexible routine. I’m able to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, pets won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and individual needs. I love creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel cared for and part of the family Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I have a secure fenced yard where pets can safely play, explore, and get exercise under supervision. Since I work from home, I’m able to closely supervise pets and provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I take time to follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences. I’ll treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own, while keeping owners updated for added peace of mind.
“Lisa was super responsive in messages and kind to our Theo! We love that she’s able to stay at home and hang out with him and the space their home provides for him to play and hang out was nice. I would definitely recommend her and her fam!”
About: My house is located in Park Circle in North Charleston and has a fenced in backyard great for playing. I enjoy taking Dez on walks and runs and would love to do the same with your fury friend.

I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule to accommodate a drop in service- refresh the water bowl, short walk for business or available for full 30 minute walk. Boarding available with notice required. I am known to adapt to the lifestyle my clients give their furry friends. Whether you want your dog taking on long walks or runs at the park playing fetch. At home I ensure pups get plenty of exercise and go out after breakfast and dinner.

About: Hello! My name is Pam, I am an avid dog lover and mom. I would love to take care of your dog while you are at work or away from home. I work for the government as a financial analyst.

“Carolynn was great with Goldie! I have trouble finding a walker that can handle both her strength and energy. Carolynn helped me out with feeding her as well! I will be using Carolynn again in the future!”
“Katherine was great with our boys! She is very quick to reply to messages and sends updates after all the walks. Very friendly. We are so grateful to have found her.”
About: I grew up with labs, so I have been a dog lover all my life. When I was in middle school I would look after my neighbors pets. As I got older, most of my work in the summer was taking care of people's pets and houses when they went on vacation. I enjoy walking and like an excuse to be outside. I've always loved working with animals and would give them all the love and care I would give my own dog. I use to want to be a veterinarian, but the schooling would have been way too difficult, so I guess Rover is a good compromise (i hope you laughed). If not, animals are easier than people. I am responsible, trustworthy, and would provide diligent care to your pets.
“I contacted Stephanie super last minute in the middle of the night because the previous sitter I hired literally did not show up. I was already in my flight because I was going on a week long trip and my dog was home alone. Stephanie answered me immediately at almost 1am and had last minute availability for thanksgiving week. She was so nice and responsible and she took such good care of my dog Gabby. She played with her, took her on walks and spent time with her while I was gone. When I came back home I could tell Gabby was very well taken care of and she was so happy and relaxed. Thank you so much Stephanie you are amazing human being! The best dog sitter Ive had on Rover! I will use only her services from now on! I recommend her 1000000%”
About: Hello! I am a Charleston native looking to make some extra money and spend more time outdoors. I grew up having dogs my entire life and spent a lot of time working with them. After college, I started pet sitting for family members and grew my clientele through word of mouth. Special needs are no problem and I have watched many dogs with specific schedules, medications, and incontinence issues. I love cuddles, kisses, and long walks around the neighborhood. My pet photography skills are very good and I will send you plenty of pictures while you are gone. I’m currently unemployed and while applying for jobs, I am spending the majority of my time doing pet sitting and gig work so my hours are incredibly open. I grew up with pets and have been pet sitting for many years with an extremely high and clientele at a private golf club in Hanahan. While I am unable to keep dogs in my home due to the size and the existence of my three pet cats, I am more than happy to stay in your home while taking care of your pets in their familiar environment.
“Madelyn was great! She took great care of Bodi and sent me Rover cards with pictures everyday. She was very quick to respond to my texts and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“Alisha is absolutely amazing! She always lets me know when she is on the way and sends me 3-5 pictures every time. She communicates well, gives great updates, and Nala already loves her after just a week. She also walks her almost a mile every time. I’ve been super impressed and would definitely recommend her to watch your pups!”
About: I work remotely from home so I can take extra great care of your pup! Frequent cuddles and potty breaks or just some dance breaks outside, perks of being home all the time! I have experience with large breeds such as Great Danes. I have children in the house, and no pets. Our back yard is completely fenced in. I work part-time and mostly work remote. I’m very active with letting dogs out as much as they want with going to the bathroom and playing outside. I’m very careful with making sure dogs are getting their exercise as well as using the bathroom as often as needed. They will always have water available to them, and I always make sure to watch them while playing. Our yard is large and fenced.

“Abi is such a great sitter! Even if she has 3 golden retrievers at the same time she makes sure they all got the attention, walks, potty breaks and treats they all need. She made sure they all had a golden time and she deserves a golden review!”
“Alison kept our 2.5yo dog for 6 days and we have nothing but great things to say about the experience. She was very accommodating to our schedules, communicative throughout the stay - including daily updates with photos and videos, and had all the right instincts about how to make sure our dog would have a fun and safe time with her dog and other dogs that she watches. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Alison!”
“Lisa was really amazing, made sure to communicate throughout the visit, spoiled our dog to no end to the point she was worried she wasn’t going to eat so she would put extra food on top to get her to eat and even went out and got extra treats for her. Would highly recommend and would definitely use her again”
“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of my boy Sailor. Her communication was off the chain great and she sent lots of pics making sure that I knew he was doing great. I trust Jennifer whole heartedly with my boy and will choose her again the next time I travel and can’t bring my boy with me. Again! I can’t thank you enough. I think Sailor was sad to leave.”
“Amber and Ryan were the best furry sitters we’ve ever had. They took excellent care of Happy, and they also took Happy in a pinch; they extended time for us. They were so sweet and very loving to Happy, and we was so grateful to them. I would highly recommend them. I will use them again; thanks, Amber and Ryan. Rover is fortunate to have you. And so were we.”
