“Sheron is a wonderful sitter for our little Havanese. It was the 1st time Bailey stayed on our own, and she did great. Sheron is caring, and dedicated. I highly recommend her.”
“Michele has watched our boys multiple times and every time we come back to happy fur babies! Her communication is perfect. I feel like I know exactly what I need to know and nothing I don’t! So not constantly getting notifications, but if she has a question about the boys or just keeping me in the loop of things that I probably should know she does! We are very grateful for her!”
“Madison was great with my cats while I was gone for a long weekend! She was extremely flexible with their specific individual dietary needs and went above and beyond with their care! I will definitely be a returning customer :)”
“Shaniese did a great job taking care of our dogs! She took our dog Holly for a walk. She also sent me great pictures of my fur babies while I was away. We really appreciate her giving loving care to our dogs.”
“Sheryl is SO good with Ace! He doesn’t typically like strangers but he took to her from the first visit. Sheryl’s communication is outstanding and friendly. She always sends multiple pictures and lets us know how he is. Excellent service!”
“Samantha was so amazing this weekend! She had 3 drop-in visits to watch my 4 cats and all of them were happy and taken care of. One of my cats is very very nervous around new people but he was comfortable enough around Samantha that he came out and ate on the second visit. So grateful!”
“Katie provided great care for my kitties! It was really comforting to read her reports and see photos from each visit. Katie followed directions, was very responsible, and was great at communicating and asking questions. I would definitely hire Katie again if she’s available!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by and caring for animals my whole life, so being around dogs and cats comes very naturally to me. I’m comfortable with all personalities and am always willing to adapt and learn what works best for your specific pet(s). When I care for your pet(s), you can expect lots of love, attention, and playtime! I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I also understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust. I’ve been in your shoes with my own cats, so I take that responsibility very seriously. I take a lot of pride in being reliable, caring, and doing things the right way. I’ve always been the type of person who treats every job the way I would want it done for me (thoroughly and with care). I grew up with dogs (we had 7 total, with 3 at one time), but about 8 years ago in college, my parents gifted me my first kitten. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with both dogs and cats and truly adore every animal I meet. My husband and I now have 6 cats ranging from 3 to 7.5 years old. I’ve previously pet sat for 6 families with a mix of dogs and cats, but I moved out of state and am excited to build new connections here. I also just resigned from my position as a mail carrier with USPS (which required an extensive background check), and honestly, my favorite part of that job was getting to pet and play with animals on my route! I will be flexible with my scheduling so please just reach out! I work 8am-4:30pm Monday-Friday, therefore, I am available most weekends, Tues-Fri early in the morning until 7am and anytime at or after 5pm. I have experience administering both pill and injectable medications prescribed by a vet, and I’m happy to brush, walk, and care for your pet(s) however you prefer. I also love taking pictures and videos, so I’m more than happy to send updates while you’re away if requested! At the end of the day, just tell me what you need and expect. I’m here to make sure your pet(s) are well cared for and you have peace of mind. Fun fact: My family used to go out, find, and safely return lost dogs that were posted on our hometown’s Facebook page. We loved helping reunite them with their families 🐾 I am able to provide flexible scheduling, consistent attention, and reliable care throughout the day and week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Please reach out if you have any questions about scheduling! I care for every pet like they’re my own, and I always tailor my care to match each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment by maintaining their routine, giving them lots of attention, and keeping their space clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress or illness, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and lots of affection.
“We were very impressed with Emily knowledge of animals and especially for our fur babies. She took such good care of them and I love that she was able to connect with them right off the bat. She sent pictures everytime. Thank you Emily for such great care!!! 😊😊😊”
“Meaghan is great! I use her for drop in services for my two dogs (one adult and one puppy) when both my husband and I work schedules overlap. The dogs love her! She is great with communication as well!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.
About: My family has had big dogs since before I was born. Ive bathed them, walked them, fed them, and loved on them. I also understand dog body language. I will be back for winter break on December 15, and I will not have anything to do for that month, so I can shape my schedule around taking care of your animals. I am good at loving on dogs and I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters walking dogs. I am a good candidate for this job.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aiken
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such a great experience with my cat sitter! She took amazing care of my sweet Nesta and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She was very caring, attentive, and treated Nesta like she was her own. 🐾💕 It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nesta was being loved and well taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby. I will definitely be using her again! 🥰
I can’t recommend Kelsey highly enough! We have used her repeatedly, and every experience has been exceptional. She is the most attentive pet sitter we have ever had, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about our kitties. They absolutely adore her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will continue to book with her whenever we can! 🐾❤️

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Aiken on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Aiken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Aiken stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aiken. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
