“Emma was great with our dogs, however. We met with her prior to booking so we could get to know her and our dogs could meet her as well. We spoke about the time being 12noon and that was not a problem. The first day (Monday) she was here on time, the next 3 days she arrived at 1pm. 1 hr later then discussed. Then Friday morning she texted us stating she was stuck at a house she was cleaning and was not gonna be able to make it. My wife had to rush from work in Sidney to take them out, then rush back. Keep in mind we had already paid for the entire week.”
“Jessica is the sweetest soul, truly. She’s cared for our cats while we are out of town and has also walked our three legged dog, Ace. Animals instantly gravitate toward her calming presence and I am endlessly relieved someone so loving and kind is caring for my animals when I’m out of town. She’s amazing!”

About: For me, caring for animals is a lifelong calling that started at age 10. My deep involvement with nature has shaped my consciousness to view animals as living beings who deserve the same respect and care that humans do. This philosophy drives my approach as a sitter, whether I am implementing structured house-training routines for young dogs and kittens or managing the specialized needs of senior animals. I truly believe humanity's history is deeply intertwined with learning from and adapting to the animal world. I bring that foundational respect into your home, ensuring your pets feel completely understood, safe, and loved according to their unique personalities and attentiveness they deserve as living, feeling members of your family. I work full time with Lyft so I will have plenty of time to entertain your pup, dog, kitten or cat. Lets us have fun I'm in their world. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet's environment safe, predictable, and clean. To build trust, I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, locking up, and household boundaries. I thoroughly scan spaces for hidden hazards like loose cords or choking risks before letting pets roam. During our time together, I mirror their established daily routines to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. I also send regular photo updates and transparent messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

As of August 2026, there are 836 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Charleston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Charleston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Charleston.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Charleston. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
