“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Allison was amazing!! She provided daily updates and photos of my pets and took great care of my house while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone and trust her to watch my pets again!”
“Brandy has dog sat for us twice, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, respectful, and truly takes the time to understand and accommodate our requests. Tilly is most comfortable simply having someone hang out with her, and Brandy has been amazing at providing that companionship and making Tilly feel safe and relaxed. It's clear that Brandy genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and we always have peace of mind knowing Tilly is in such good hands. We highly recommend Brandy to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter!”
“If I could give a million stars, I would! Sam was amazing! We hired her to care for our 2 dogs while we attended an out of town wedding. We never even thought to worry about our girls. We felt confident they were being well cared for, and they were. When we got home, there were no signs of distress. It was like we never left them. We will hire Sam again, for sure!!!”
“Great job! Last time I had a pet sitter one cat hid for a week. So it’s been a long time. Came home to all the pets acting normal and happy. Definitely will be able to travel again, and Jailah will be my first choice or who she would recommend!”
“Danielle took great care of our high energy pup! She sent us regular updates and pictures, which really helped us feel at ease! Our home was even cleaner than we left it. She even got our pup a couple toys! I would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and am looking forward to having her care for our pup again!”
“Ivy was awesome and helped me on my wedding day! She took care of my two dogs during the wedding and made the day a lot less stressful. She is very communicative and very kind to the pets.”
About: Have been a long-time dog mom of a pitbull for many years. I have lots of experience with high energy and strong dogs who love walkies. Experience with elderly and ill pets as well. I am currently working only part-time during the summer so I am available morning and night, with 1 day notice and meet-and-greet. (I request a meet and greet with every client) I will respect your home during check-ins, make sure your pet is fed and watered and well exercised as per requests. Can provide extra photos if requested!
“Abigail is amazing. We have used her twice and already have her booked for our week long family vacation. She is professional and very genuine. She sends lots of pictures. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Abigail did a great job of caring for our furry four! They loved her and were very comfortable right away. We really enjoyed having her and hope to have her sit for us again! 😊”
“Zackary was so awesome! We was super communicative and seemed to spend a lot of time at home with our two kitties boys. He asked questions when needed, checked in often and sent cute pictures! Our kitties were definitely happy when we got home and he was respectful of our space. Thank you so much Zack, the boys will be happy to see you in the future 😊”
“She is so great very laid back and easygoing. Our dogs love her especially our little guy. No worries when she is here. She is always available and dependable we always come home to a happy house and everything is just how we left it.”
“Hailey was awesome with our pups! We have a senior cavalier and a 2 year old lab mix. Hailey was timely and kept us updated with pictures of the fur babies. Very responsive and responsible - would definitely recommend her!”
“Mariah was the most perfect pet/house sitter that we could have possibly asked for. We will absolutely be seeking her services again in the future. Both of our dogs and our cat loved her. With good reason. She connected with them and dialed into their needs exceptionally well. In fact, so well that when she came to watch them, she instantly found 2 tiny ticks on our dog Nova. We look our dogs over for ticks daily, but we missed these and Mariah didn’t. She has an eagle eye for these types of details. She might want to consider being a pet photographer. Each day that we were gone, she sent us the most adorable photos of our pets. This helped reassure us that our pets were in wonderful, caring hands. We returned home with a clean house and happy, healthy pets. What more could you ask for? We highly recommend her services!”
About: I have taken care of many types of pets ever since I was 13, either my home pets, neighbor's cats and dogs, and even at the humane shelter during highschool. I am currently working part time and would love to meet and care for your furry family members, treating them as if they were my own. I am currently unavailable Saturday evenings or Sundays, but if I have the time, I will gladly give some to your furry companions. Currently, I can only board cats. My dogs are super friendly with cats and kittens of all sizes, since they were raised by one. My kittens also get along with other cats, but they have their own room they can play in if your cat doesn't get along well with others.
“Phillip did a great job watching my doggo. He sent photos and updates which helped ease the separation. One photo was so funny I am printing it for my office desk. He left the house exactly as it was and I absolutely would rebook for our next trip.”
About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. We grew up with Siberian Huskies and learned from an early age the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and consistent care. Because of that experience, we have always had a special place in our hearts for animals. My husband and I are both lifelong dog lovers who grew up with dogs and understand that pets are family. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. Our home is a loving, pet-friendly environment where your furry family member will be treated like one of our own. I am a teacher, which means I am available all summer long and have a flexible schedule. We are able to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you are away. Whether your dog enjoys playing outside, going for walks, receiving belly rubs, or simply relaxing with people who love animals, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and we are committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates for your peace of mind. As summer time is finally here *yayy* I want to fill my time with some furry friends! I am available for most of the summer, and during the school year, I work during the day, but have decent hours to be able to come home and play in the afternoons! I have a private, secure yard where your pet can safely play and relax. I also don’t have any children, so your fur baby will receive my main attention, care, and love during their stay.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anderson
Abigail was such a perfect fit for my pack. Attentive to the needs of my big boy Willie who is so afraid of fireworks. She let me know that one of my cats, Grazie was coughing to get up a hairball- which he did today! All were all so relaxed when I got home. That really meant a lot to me!
Grace was absolutely wonderful with our two shy and anxious dogs. Right before our trip, one of them developed an eye injury that required twice‑daily eye drops, and she administered the drops. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and even a video, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she earned their trust and affection. We highly recommend Grace and would happily have her watch and walk our dogs again.
Mariah is simply amazing! My Vizsla/Weimaraner (high energy, high separation anxiety) loves Mariah every time we have her. This year he was diagnosed with EPI and diabetes, both of which I have all of the trust in the world with Mariah supporting us through it when I’m out of town. Having to support a strict diet routine and insulin twice daily, there was no doubt Maria was equipped to take on the challenge. Her extensive background makes me feel at ease every time I’m gone. No question, Mariah is the girl!
Laura is an amazing dog sitter. She truly understands how to take care of our three dogs . They didn’t lack for attention, pats and love. She brought in the mail and I forgot to ask and the house was all perfect when we came back home! I truly appreciated all the wonderful pictures she sent me while we where gone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Anderson on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 437 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anderson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Anderson 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 Anderson 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 Anderson 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anderson. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
