“Kenzie was great! Kept us updated with tons of photos and updates while we were away. Came home to happy dogs and our house in order! Would recommend Kenzie for your animal care needs!”
“Delia was fabulous and truly went above and beyond for our fur babies (1 lab and 2 cats). She was flexible, responsive, and sent updates regularly. Most importantly, my dog, Macy absolutely loved spending time with her!! I could see all the love come through in the pictures that were sent during the week we were traveling. Thank you, Delia! We cannot wait to work with you again. ❤️”
“Megan was great with barrel. Barrel is a little timid with new sitters but Megan gave her space to come out on her own. Once barrel opened up, she was very playful and had a great time.”
“Rachel was awesome! I can’t stress enough how great she was with our two dogs AND communication with us! She was quick to respond and flexible with our needs. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!”
“Kori did such a great job taking care of the dogs! They were well fed and happily loved while we were away. Kori was extremely respectful of our home, and even helped clean the place while we were away! we will certainly be using her services again!!”
“Lauren was great! Not only she took care of my pup but she also took care of my place as if it was her own. I got constant updates on how my dog was doing and I can tell she enjoyed her time. Definitely recommend!”
“Anjil was amazing to work with! She was dependable and always communicated how our dog was doing. She was so sweet and also kept our house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with Buddy! This was my first time leaving him with a sitter, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Buddy can be a handful and takes some patience and attention, but Autumn handled him incredibly well and kept me updated throughout my trip. I was able to actually relax knowing he was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with him and would absolutely book Autumn again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. Whether it be my own or my neighbors. I love to take walks and I treat all dogs with love as if they were my own. I’m currently available for the summer due to the fact that I’m home from college! I can walk anytime of the day and I’ll update my availability frequently in case anything comes up:) When walking dogs I think it’s important to always have poop bags on hand out of respect for neighbors and such. I also love to spoil them with a little treat after as well!

About: I work from home, but travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I’d love to spend my workdays keeping yours company instead! I grew up with dogs and have volunteered and worked at animal shelters in Texas for several years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as fostering litters of kittens and adult cats. I’d love to care for your pets and will give them lots of love and attention...and send LOTS of pictures! 🐾📸 I work fully remote M-F, which gives me plenty of flexibility to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and a great communicator. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. For dogs safety specifically, your dog will always be kept on a leash when outside the home, and I will never introduce your dog to another dog while we’re out on walks. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines.
“Lillian was absolutely amazing and gave me such peace of mind during my vacation. From day one, she kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which made me feel close to my pups at all times. She paid attention to every detail and cared for them with so much love, making them feel happy and safe. I will definitely choose her again for my future vacations. I highly recommend her. 🥰🤩”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family pets and worked on many farms throughout my life. I’m an avid animal lover and will make sure that your pet is not only physically taken care of, but emotionally as well. Lots of love and cuddles from me! I am a full-time remote worker living in Mount Pleasant. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can change things around as needed. I have meetings throughout the day but have lots of breaks where I can come do a quick feed or walk, or I can have your pet at my home with me during the day. I am also willing to work from your home if needed. I have my own home, with no pets and a quiet neighborhood where I can do daily walks. I work remotely so I can give more attention to your pet throughout the day. I have my own car and can transport myself/your pet to and from anywhere that’s needed.
“She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love dogs and I have sweet spot for Golden Retreivers since I have one of my own. I love being able to play with dogs and walk them during the day since I work from home. I treat any dog as if they are my own. I will always ensure they are well exercised, cuddled, fed, and most of all loved. I work from home each day so I have a very flexible schedule. I live in an apartment that my golden retreiver loves to play in and we take several walks around the neighborhood to ensure the dogs get the proper exercise that they need. I love to keep dogs active while they are staying at my apartment. From playing fetch, to walks, I always will ensure your dogs are happy and loved.

FAQs for House Sitting - Awendaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Awendaw on Rover is $43.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Awendaw. 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 Awendaw 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 Awendaw 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 Awendaw 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
