About: I have had dogs and cared for animals my whole life! I currently have 6 dogs in my home, so I know how much love, attention, and care they need. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and will treat your pets just like they are my own! 🐾 I currently work part-time in healthcare and work every other weekend. I will also be attending Trident Technical College in the fall for nursing. Even with my busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have availability during the week and on the weekends I am not working, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I have always been around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will make sure your fur baby gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your pet may have!
“Very loving and patient with our kiddos! She was super responsive and communicative and took fabulous care of each of our pets! Also very flexible and easy going. Will be booking again :)”
“I can't put into words how absolutely AMAZING Tara was!!! My pups *adored* her! Both of my pups can be quite a handful, yet Tara handled them seamlessly and I could tell she truly loved them. Because of Tara, I was able to enjoy my honeymoon without worrying about my dogs, since I know they were being cared for so well. Tara provided thorough updates everyday, including cute pictures and funny little tidbits about them. :) She communicated so well if she had any questions, and she took top-notch care of them. In addition to daily mobile updates, she left behind a detailed spreadsheet with hourly updates to read through when we returned, and this absolutely floored me! Tara also went above and beyond to give my pup a bath (she asked my permission first) and she even cleaned, did the dishes, and did the laundry... so I came back to an immaculate house after a long day of travel!! As a part-time dog walker myself, I have very high standards and Tara exceeded them by miles!! She is the absolute best, and I would definitely recommend her!!!!!! Thank you Tara!!!!”
“She has been my go-to sitter for years and my dogs love her. She always is very communicative and keeps me updated on everywhere and sends me pictures of my dogs being dorks and showing how happy they are”
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: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, from cats to a whole slew of dogs, all with their own personalities and needs! Over the years, I’ve helped families by feeding, walking, playing, and even taking their fur babies on little adventures. I understand how busy life can get, and I genuinely enjoy filling in those gaps when pet parents need an extra hand. My goal is always to make sure their babies feel loved, comfortable, and cared for, even when their favorite humans are away! It’s good to know the expectations and schedule so that I know how best to care for your fur baby! I work full-time during the week, but I have some flexibility in my schedule! Afternoons, evenings, and nights work best for me, and I also have weekend availability. I do my best to accommodate different schedules and communicate ahead of time to make sure your fur babies receive the care and attention they deserve! I am a firm believer that animals are just babies and senior citizens wrapped in fur, and they deserve ALL the love, patience, and attention in the world! I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and I am definitely the person who gets excited to see the animal before acknowledging its owner (sorry in advance!). Unfortunately, I can’t have pets in my own home right now, which makes every opportunity to love on someone else’s fur babies even more special! I genuinely consider it an honor to be trusted with a member of someone’s family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy it all! Every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your babies get all the love and care they deserve, and I get some much-needed animal time in return. It’s a win-win!
“Sophie & Jacob are just the best! They take such good care of my 3 pups and my house when I’m away. It’s so nice not worrying about anything and being able to enjoy time away because you know everyone’s in such good hands. Very appreciative of them!”

About: Hey y’all! I’ve always cared for pets growing up, from puppies to senior dogs and even kittens to cats. I’m always intrigued by the different personalities each animal can bring, and the love they all deserve. Each animal has its own personality, and the best way to care for them is to follow their lead and understand them. Obviously, if they need guidance in the right direction or a little extra love, I'll give it. Overall, I believe in praise and positive reinforcement. At the end of the day, my goal is to become their second-best friend (obviously keep you as their first :)) I am working at the moment, but don’t be shy; you are more than welcome to send a message, and if we can work around it, I'd be glad to watch your baby. I work very few days, so I am more flexible than usual. I care for pets the way you would as the owner. I follow directions and always give extra love when I can. I’ll be there to make sure they're cared for.
About: "I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal I care for as my own. With 6 years of professional pet sitting and fostering experience, I am deeply comfortable managing multi-pet households, including cats and dogs living together. I understand that cats often need a more gentle, patient approach, and I'm highly experienced in administering [e.g., daily insulin injections, oral pills, fluid therapies] and maintaining clean, stress-free environments. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to giving your fur babies the best possible care." I work Monday-Friday till 4:30 and have some time in the mornings/evenings to take care of your pets. I have weekends off to spend and can even stay in home with the animals. I follow the owners house rules and I listen to the animals on their needs. If the owners have a schedule I will follow. I do light house cleaning daily or as needed.
“Lesly was a phenomenal sitter! She was available to watch my 2 kitties at the last minute and was very responsive and thorough. She sent me updates and pictures and made me feel so at ease while staying at my apartment. I would highly recommend booking with her for any device you need!”

We haven’t been traveling so I haven’t used these guys in a while, but I did need to call on them a few days ago. Our dog had suffered a medical issue and I felt really comfortable leaving Jonathan and Shelly in charge. They did not disappoint. I still recommend them 100% and already have them lined up for our next trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Walterboro walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Walterboro maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Walterboro choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
