“Sheron was a wonderful help to us when we were literally in opposite directions. She sent lots of pictures, left treats for our pups and gave me relief of mind when there was going to be a big gap in someone being home.”
“Beau, our GSP, took right to Susie from their first meet and greet! Susie is kind and has a clear love for dogs. She checked in on Beau for us while we were away for a long day - she was punctual and made sure our boy got lots of attention and exercise to hold him over until we got home. If you need someone to care for and love on your fur babies while you’re away, I recommend Susie.”
“Cheryl is very good at taking care of Pets. She has a special gift….she loves animals. She has made me feel very comfortable while away from my pets. She was always on time and although she didn’t have to stay for 30 minutes since she just did feedings, she did anyways she is great! I’m so glad I met her. Thank you so much Sheryl!”

“Samantha went above and beyond what I was hoping for with her services! She made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She replies very quickly and was able to meet all of our needs. She spent time with my pups and played with them. She had no issues administering oral medication to both of my large dogs. Also, I have been able to get great service even with short notice bookings. I will definitely use Samantha regularly and I recommend anyone else to do so as well.”
“DeAndre provides excellent service. He is trustworthy and dependable, and he will go out of his way to make sure my dogs are well taken care of. Highly recommend and will book with him again.”
About: I have cared for many dogs, from Toy breeds up to Great Danes. However, I have mostly cared for dogs that are smaller, and bully dogs. I have also cared for older puppies with the biggest hearts, so if your senior pup needs a friend, call! I am also able to administer any medications your dog needs, as well as bathe them if needed. Whatever your family and furry friends need, I can provide! As of right now I am unemployed, but actively searching for a job in the pet grooming/kennel facility area. I am currently able to look after your pets FULL TIME, and am currently able to do *extended sittings*. I am currently unable to keep your pets in my home as we are doing some renovations that would make me uncomfortable with providing a completely safe space for your pet. With that being said, I am MORE than happy to come to your home and take care of your pets in an environment they are already in love with! If your dog is crate trained, no problem! If your pup sleeps in the bed with you, even better! Specific feeding/walking times? You bet I’ll be there not a minute later! I am extremely passionate about animals and their families when healthy environments are provided for their pets!
About: Experienced veterinary assistant, animal lover, and trusted caregiver. I provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, and personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs. With professional animal care experience and a commitment to treating every pet like my own, you can travel, work, or relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I have cared for a plethora of species, including cats, dogs, gerbils, hermit crabs, fish, reptiles, birds, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and sheep! I have experience in training dogs as well as large animals. Though I don’t claim to be a trainer, I am able to reinforce the habits or behaviors you desire. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so I am able to adjust my schedule to fit yours. I am available all days of the week for pet sitting. For regular drop-in visits I only ask for prior notice so that I can adjust my own schedule. My approach to care is catering to the individual’s needs. I value exercise and mental stimulation more than anything if the pet requires it, so spending time outside playing is top priority! Regardless, for our low energy friends, I am happy to allow them to stay in their comfy place with added pets and snuggles. I can crate your dogs if necessary and take pride in being respectful of property.
About: I've taken care of a multitude of dogs, big and small, since I was a little girl. I have always loved every kind of animal and love to clean and make sure things are taken care of. I am currently working part time as an administrative assistant at Topgolf, but communication is key! As long as I am given 1-2 weeks advance notice I can make myself available for you. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am an expert at putting cats in carriers. I read animal body language very well and know when to step in and how to meet their exact needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aiken
Michele was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our girl over our wedding weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Knowing our pup was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our special weekend without any worries. We loved receiving picture updates throughout her stay, and the thoughtful, beautiful card Michele left for us was such a sweet and unexpected touch. It truly meant so much! We’re so grateful for her care and kindness and will definitely be reaching out to Michele again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! ❤️
Kelsey was absolutely AMAZING! I’ll be the first to admit I am a little psycho when it comes to my three German Shepherds and I do NOT trust just anyone with them. This was also my first week-long trip away from my dogs, so I was definitely nervous. Kelsey came over beforehand to meet all three of them and made sure not only that they were comfortable with her, but that I was comfortable too. While we were gone, she showed up when she said she would, sent updates and pictures, loved on my dogs, and genuinely made being away from them so much easier for me. My oldest dog also requires medication, and Kelsey gave it exactly as instructed and even checked it off on the sheet I left for her, which gave me so much peace of mind. What meant the most was knowing my dogs weren’t just being “checked on.” They were being cared for and loved while I was gone. When you have three German Shepherds, finding someone you completely trust with them is a BIG deal, and Kelsey absolutely earned that trust. I will 100% be using her again and cannot recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Aiken is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 504 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Aiken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
