“Our three dogs stayed with Amanda and her family for ten days and had a great time. Plenty of play time outdoors with Amanda’s dogs and children. All three came home tired but happy. Amanda was flexible in terms of scheduling and attentive to our dogs needs. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable leaving pups with her and hope to book with Amanda again next time we travel. An A+++ experience from start to finish.”
“My first time using rover with my pit bull mix puppy. Very good communication and sent lots of pictures to me of him playing! Would recommend her for your pup. Backyard is made for dogs!”
“Kennel was clean, spacious and the yard was well kept. Our small dogs felt comfortable with yard and explored immediately on arrival. Jeanne was prompt with responses and sending updates. Will book again.”
“Kristi and her family were amazing watching our 2 dogs when our Boarder closed about a month before our travel. She sent pictures and videos daily that our kids looked forward to. Our dogs were in a much better place than boarding because they didn't spend half a day in a cage and got to play with their own dog. They loved our dogs like their own. We will absolutely book again, not only for the peace of mind, but it was evident the dogs loved it there too. Highly recommend!”
“Another great stay with Jamie and Alec! They are really great about sending pics to calm my fraying dog-dad nerves! Frankie really seems to enjoy the experience as well.”
“Laetitia is AMAZING! Very warm and friendly and took great care of my baby while I was away. My girl Gemma felt right at home and she came home very happy. Definitely recommend her for your dogs care!!”
“Sarah was wonderful! Our dog is 10 years old and has been sick so he’s on several medications twice a day and Sarah took wonderful care of him. I was incredibly anxious about leaving him and she provided daily updates and pictures that showed he was in great hands. We picked him up and he was perfectly happy and seemed to have had a great time with Sarah and her family! Would absolutely recommend and would love for Sarah to watch any of our pets in the future!”
“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.”
“Megan was absolutely fantastic!! We boarded our large breed dog, Dutch, with her for over a week while out of town and had an amazing vacation knowing that our pup was being loved and cared for like her own. We loved getting the frequent updates and pictures showing he was having a blast, and Megan always communicated quickly and was extremely flexible with scheduling our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be trusting her with our pup again, 10/10 seriously cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Absolutely phenomenal! This was one of the best rover experiences we have ever had. She was so amazing with the dogs but even more than that Amanda was beyond helpful and kind with handling our wonky weekend with changing plans. She sent photos of the doggies throughout the stay and was great with updating us over the weekend. Could not recommend enough!”
“Absolutely 5 stars for Chelsea! She was a lifesaver, stepping in to watch our dog for a weekend with very little notice. Chelsea went above and beyond by offering to meet early to introduce the dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, showing how much care and attention our pup was getting. It was clear our dog was pampered and treated like one of her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Chelsea to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Rebecca took amazing care of our two dogs for 7 or 8 days. She kept us so Informed, and made sure they got lots of love, playtime and even a bath! I can’t recommend her enough. We will Be using her every time now.”
“The absolute best… hands down!!! We are so grateful to have found a permanent sitter for our fur baby. Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy. Until next time !”
“Definitely recommend Jennifer for our dog! She kept us up to date with our dogs stay including numerous photos! We never had to worry what he was doing at any time! She was very prompt responding! You never had to ask for an update because Jennifer was already messaging us to tell us he’s doing great. I will definitely use Jennifer for the future for another stay! Please use Jennifer for the care of our pets visit! We couldn’t be happier!”
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: I only accept one client family at a time so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. This setup works especially well for puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who simply do better with a calmer 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.

“Brandy is wonderful! She takes great care of our kitties and our house. She always takes the time to lay eyes on the cats and interact with them when she comes over, and she updates us on how they are doing (my kids love seeing her daily pictures of them). We have had her sit for us 3 times now. It is such a blessing to know that our kitties are well cared for while we are away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter!!”
“Thank you, Amanda, for taking care of our guys! Everything was done just as we asked it to be and we loved getting all the photos. Basil is 100% in love with you now.”
“Jennifer was perfect! This was my first time using Rover and she ensured everything was done correctly and even came by to meet Zeep and ensure she knew where everything was before the actual visit. Her reports were very thorough and included Zeep’s behavior and mood as well as routine items. She will be the first person I look at when I need a Rover sitter in the future :)”
“She was great! She was prompt and great at keeping us updated. Our puppy seemed to really like her because he was good all week! Can't wait to have her back to help out with our little guy.”
“Sarah is AWESOME! She is super informative, goes the extra mile, and takes INCREDIBLE pics of the fur babes! It really means a lot to go away for vacation and have true piece of mind that my cats are well taken care of! :) always a pleasure and highly recommend her!”
“Sierra was absolutely amazing! She was available last minute and took such great care of my dog Bonnie. My puppy can be hyper, and very needy, Sierra handled her beautifully. Extensive walks, treats, play time, feeding time and lots of belly rubs! I will 100% hire her again!!!”
“Kelley is awesome! Our little scardy cat actually made several appearances when she came over and he almost always hides. She provided several pictures and I know she took fantastic care of them while I was away. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with cats, starting with Miss Kitty and my own kitten at the age of 6 named Pumpkin. He lived about 20 years! My first pets as an adult was a kitten named Princess. I have been around cats my whole life and will take good care of yours!
“Rebecca helped me out tremendously with the cats and adjusting her schedule to fit mine. She communicated with me a lot and the cats loved her. I will definitely use Rebecca again.”
“Gillian was so kind and loving to Jafar while we were away. Not only was she responsive and adaptable, she sent tons of photos and detailed notes so we felt like he was in good hands. Thanks so much Gillian!”
About: I have had cats myself for 6 years (since I moved out in my own) and have found my passion- caring for them! I am personally obsessed with my two cats and have plenty of more love to share! I love all cats with their own lil personalities and quirks! My favorite is finding out their favorite type of play and cuddle!
“Dawn is great! very friendly and approachable. she's very flexible too. I originally got the dates wrong and she had no problem rescheduling for the correct dates. she even offered me half off the rate that Rover initially suggested. Will 100% be booking her again!”
“Alex took awesome care of our 3 kitty siblings. We felt very comfortable being away with Alex stopping in. She sent us daily pictures and played with the brothers. Even their super shy sister came out of hiding on day 3. Will definitely hire Alex again.”
About: I grew up always having a house full of animals. I have always had cats/dogs in my house and have trained multiple dogs over the years. I also pet sat throughout high school and college. I currently have a very energetic mutt named Dodger who is my world! I do work full-time in a school but during summer, weekends, and breaks I am pretty much always free. I can also pop in for drop-ins or walks after school hours or house sit as long as it is close-ish to work. I will respect your home with the same care I would expect someone to treat my own, will not touch or use anything without permission, and clean up after myself/wipe down any surfaces used. Your rules go.
“Zoe provided fantastic care for our two kitties while we were away. One of our cats requires medications twice daily and Zoe had no problems doing that for her. She loved on our girls like they were her own and the photos she sent of them looking so happy gave us great peace of mind.”

“Chris and Molly are very responsive. They took wonderful care of our Roscoe while we took a day trip into Savannah. They took him for walks every couple hours, played fetch with the ball, and gave treats for being a good boy. It’s nice to know we will have someone to trust with our sweet boy when we come back to town. Thank you, Chris and Molly! We will be a return customer in the future!”
“Marina took great care of our dogs and was a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive, always gave us updates, and our dogs were very comfortable at her home.”
“They did an awesome job. Truly appreciate the amount of pictures and updates. And most importantly the customer service. Cant wait to book with them again!”
“Alice was very kind and understanding with me. She reached out promptly and would stay in touch throughout the rover- daycare process. I received updates with pictures of Echo during the day which were much appreciated 🐾 I would use her services again.”
“Oreo had the BEST time! He usually is very antisocial and is scared of other dogs, but he had made friends with Cleo (Lizzy's dog). He also comes back from doggy daycares stressed and overwhelmed, but he seemed so refreshed and happy when he came back:) Would definitely recommend Lizzy as the best dogsitter!”
“Kathy B is amazing. We came to the Charleston area to visit friends and we brought with us a 10 month old, active, unneutered Bolonka puppy. We needed a safe place for him while I celebrated my birthday. Kathy not only kept him safe, but she kept him engaged and active. He had a ball playing with her and her family. I recommend her without any hesitation. She is kind, responsible, flexible and fun loving. Best of all, I was able to leave Toby with her without worrying about him.”
About: I’ve always put my pets first when it comes to their care and always ensure they are well taken care. This always made me a first pick for neighbors to ask me to look after their pets if they were away. I work a hybrid schedule during the week and available most weekends to spend unlimited time with your pets. I have a friendly indoor cat who follow a strict routine so I am very consistent. I am also a runner and love to take walks with your pet! I have a lot of space and trails around my home for walks and places for your dogs to run! Plenty of extra space in my apartment to crate your dog if needed to. Cats always have plenty of space, windows, and hiding spots too. I love pictures so you will have endless pictures of your pets.
“Rebecca is awesome. We can relax knowing that our dog is in caring hands when we can’t be around him. He needs regular medication and she never misses a dose. We are so thankful that we found her!”
“Alec & Jamie are great! Our pooch "Greta" had a great time at daycare with them. I know because she was exhausted when she arrived home. Alec is very accommodating and easy going. He appears to have a loving touch as well. They also communicated well during the day w/ comments and pictures. We look forward to our next visit as does "Greta". Thank you guys for all that you do with a smile! Andrew S.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life so I am very well-versed in what it takes to properly care for a pupper. Friends and family have resorted to me time and time again to watch their pups while they are gone and I’ll never hesitate to say yes. Having a furry friend around always makes my days a bit brighter. I work entirely remote! I am able to be with your dog and give your pup the attention it will need 24 hours out of the day. I have the freedom to go for walks when needed, go to the park, take your pup to the beach, etc. My flexible schedule allows me to keep your dog on the same routine to make it as comfortable as possible for them. I have a fully fenced in yard and am also near plenty of parks to take your furry friend for walks throughout the entire day. I work from home so I’m able to spend the entire day alongside them ensuring they get plenty of time outside and exercising.

“Chelsea is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, consistently communicative, and great with our dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she was taking care of our dogs during a very rainy week, but she did a great job drying them off and making sure they got out there (even if they didn’t want to go out!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”
“Jennifer's care and management of our girls, Fiona the pittie, and Fiona, the African Grey, is superb. She has extensive and practical experience in the care of many species, and applies her knowledge to our girls. She has taken initiative to help Fiona (and me) to work on Fiona leash manners, and is cultivating a relationship with Wanda. Jennifer is prompt and takes your input seriously. I highly recommend her.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, birds, and reptiles, including my bearded dragon, who I’ve owned and cared for for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I have also raised 3 children over the last 22 years. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your needs. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and also have experience with rabbits, birds, and my bearded dragon of over 10 years. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home as if it were my own, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, administering basic medications, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs.
About: With years of professional dog walking and sitting experience, I’ve cared for all manner of canines. I can handle puppies as well as senior citizens and love spending time with them giving love and getting exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to leave periodically throughout the day to care for pets. Please be aware prior to booking that my daughter (10 months old as of April 2025) comes with me on my walks and drop ins. She rides in a backpack carrier and does not come out of it, but only request a booking with me if you and your pet and comfortable with that. I have been entrusted with clients’ homes for years and am confident and able to abide by your requests and needs. I act with respect when allowed access to a client’s home and take care to honor their wishes regarding their animals and household.
“Wonderful sitter! Would highly recommend. She was personable, responsive, and took great care of my babies. She also took care of my plants on short notice. Will definitely rebook her again and would recommend for all of your dog sitting needs.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, when I got my first Siberian Husky. She had epilepsy, so I gave her daily medication and learned how to support her needs with love and care. Since then, dogs have been a part of my daily life. I love going on walks and playing with them. I also have a Maltese, so I’m experienced with both large and small breeds. Recently, My first dog passed away, and my other pup has been a bit lonely. We would truly welcome a new furry friend to share some fun and companionship. I’m a full time dog mom currently so I’m home most of the time, aside from caring for my own dogs and occasional outings, so I’m very flexible and available almost any day. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to spend time with yours whenever you need help! I live in a two story home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and safety. I have two dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, both neutered and up to date on rabies vaccines. They’re very friendly and love meeting other dogs! If your pup prefers quiet time, I can easily separate them into different rooms. Please feel free to text me with details about your dog. I’d love to get to know them!
About: From my first pet bunny Nibbles at the age of seven, to now - a 26yo boy mom with my 12yo orange cat Fenway, 3yo Pitbull Xylo, and my two horses Karl and Scraps - caring for animals has always been my deepest passion. I have cared for all types of animals, large and small, and pride myself of providing the highest level of care and love to each one. I have my BS in Animal Science from UConn, have been a farm sitter for several families, cared for my own families animals, and have been an animal owner myself for nearly all my life. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds - from Belgian Malinois to Chihuahuas to Swiss Mountain Dogs. I have cared for animals in all stages of life - from puppies to seniors, foals to stallions, kittens to wise older cats. I treat every animal I work with as if it was my own. I am currently a stay-at-home mom for my 18mo son while my husband is attending Navy basic training. I am new to the area and eager to explore, and am also consistently active with my own pup - we walk regularly, jog and play frisbee. Being able to provide other dogs with the same care fits perfectly into my active schedule. I am comfortable with crates, invisible fences, walking on slow or busy roads with dogs who walk beautifully on a leash, or those who don’t. I am able to provide the exact type of care and play that the owner needs for each individual animal.

I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule! I make sure to follow all the instructions, so the pet isn’t off of its schedule. I really try to spend the first few days getting close with the pets, that way they feel totally comfortable with me!

About: What makes me stand out from other sitters is my ability to adapt to different pets and their routines while providing personalized care.

Cleaning up after them and ensuring they have a cozy environment are also top priorities. Bonding time is essential too; whether it's cuddling on the couch or teaching new tricks, I make sure to dedicate quality time each day. Additionally, staying updated on any specific needs or medications they may require is crucial. Overall, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my life, and I relish every moment spent with these adorable companions.

I stick closely to their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, and playtime.

“Our three dogs stayed with Amanda and her family for ten days and had a great time. Plenty of play time outdoors with Amanda’s dogs and children. All three came home tired but happy. Amanda was flexible in terms of scheduling and attentive to our dogs needs. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable leaving pups with her and hope to book with Amanda again next time we travel. An A+++ experience from start to finish.”

“Kristi and her family were amazing watching our 2 dogs when our Boarder closed about a month before our travel. She sent pictures and videos daily that our kids looked forward to. Our dogs were in a much better place than boarding because they didn't spend half a day in a cage and got to play with their own dog. They loved our dogs like their own. We will absolutely book again, not only for the peace of mind, but it was evident the dogs loved it there too. Highly recommend!”
“Another great stay with Jamie and Alec! They are really great about sending pics to calm my fraying dog-dad nerves! Frankie really seems to enjoy the experience as well.”

We boarded our large breed dog, Dutch, with her for over a week while out of town and had an amazing vacation knowing that our pup was being loved and cared for like her own.

She sent photos of the doggies throughout the stay and was great with updating us over the weekend. Could not recommend enough!”
“Absolutely 5 stars for Chelsea! She was a lifesaver, stepping in to watch our dog for a weekend with very little notice. Chelsea went above and beyond by offering to meet early to introduce the dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, showing how much care and attention our pup was getting. It was clear our dog was pampered and treated like one of her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Chelsea to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter!”

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: I only accept one client family at a time so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. This setup works especially well for puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who simply do better with a calmer 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.
“Our pup acted as though he’d arrived home on our third stay with Kathy and Dennis. He loves his time with them and always returns home a “happy tired”. This last visit he looked back at Kathy as we left for home as if to implore her to come with. We’re so glad to have such awesome folks taking care of him!!”
“Lea always takes the best care of Charlotte, and Charlotte always have so much fun with Luna and Cooper. We love here so much and will be returning! Always 100% recommend!”
“Juliet took great care of my Shih Tzu mix, Dali! From the very beginning, she was excellent at communicating and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Dali could meet her dogs, and she was very attentive throughout the whole process. She asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Dali’s needs and routine so she could care for him the best way possible. During his stay, she constantly sent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very flexible and understanding when my flight got delayed and I ended up picking Dali up an hour later than planned. When I picked him up, he looked very happy and well cared for. She also cared for our other dog, and we had a great experience as well. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! I 100% recommend her — she is amazing!”
