“Megan was an excellent sitter for my boys! I was able to leave my 2 boxers home while I travelled for a day long business trip. Megan sent pictures, notes and kept me informed throughout the day. I returned to 2 happy pups and a neat & tidy home. Thank you Megan!”

“Delia is great! Took good care of my dog and cat, and I could tell they were so relaxed and comfortable when I got home. I’d love to work with her again!”

“We are obsessed with Laura! Our boys, Murphy and French Toast, had a great time hanging out with Tobe! We had some travel issues with flights delayed, having to get a rental car and took much longer to get home and Laura made sure the boys were all set before we knew when we would be home! Loved getting cute pics while on vacation! Definitely going to be booking again for our next vacation 🫶🫶🫶”

“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”

“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 been working as a veterinary technician since 2023. I believe it’s very important to advocate for those without a voice. My knowledge, skills and intuition allow me to give the best care possible. I grew up taking care of various animals including dogs, cats, and birds. From feathered to furred and all creatures in between, I make animal caretaking a routine. I work part-time on the weekends, so my availability during the week is open as needed. Friday and Saturday I am available morning and evenings (before and after work). I will adjust to whatever your pet needs within your home. Whether they need playtime or naps, walks or backyard entertainment, I can comply accordingly.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for the past 7 years! I look forward to caring for your perfect pet! I am currently working full time so I am mostly available on the weekends or after 5 PM! I look forward to working with you to find days and times that work best! I provide walking, feeding, companionship, play, and toileting time for your furry friend! I look forward to discussing you and your pet’s needs to provide the best care possible!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for the past 7 years, and somewhere along the way became the person everyone calls when they need someone to spoil their pup. I have a golden retriever of my own who is very loved (and very aware of it), so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in the early morning, afternoon, or some evenings to watch or walk your pet. I have a large front and backyard where dogs can safely run and play using a long leash that gives them freedom to the entire yard while staying safe and secure. I like to keep a consistent routine with play time, feeding, and lots of attention and care. If I’m in someone else’s home, I try to stick as closely as I can to their normal routine so the pet feels as relaxed and at home as possible.

“Friendly, responsive, responsible, and very good with our energetic fur kiddos!! Took 45 minutes out of his day to drive to us for a last minute meet-and-greet and was so kind and genuine! Very trustworthy and accommodating. Will definitely re-book once we next need help!”

About: I've been actively caring for animals for more than 14 years :). Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for family friends, and my family often took in stray cats and litters of kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Today, I have three cats of my own and continue to pet sit for friends and family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to providing loving and reliable care while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a full-time job with a very flexible hybrid schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I can work from anywhere, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide care, check-ins, walks, or companionship throughout the day. I currently specialize in occasional bookings, vacation care, and drop-in visits. At this time, I’m not accepting recurring weekly walking schedules. I'm also fully available on weekends. At home, I care for my three cats with my partner, which allows me the flexibility to accommodate pet sitting while ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to keeping them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you're away. I provide care that is tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, whether in my home or in a client’s home. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away, along with regular updates for peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a calm and safe environment. I ensure they are supervised, given a consistent routine, and treated like part of the family. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to create a clean, low-stress space where animals feel secure and cared for.

“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!!”


About: I have had pet dogs, large and small, my entire life. I will give your precious pet the attention and love we both know they deserve. I can offer a quick potty walk, long leisurely strolls, or active playtime, whatever suits your needs. I am currently working as a part-time freelance graphic designer so I have an open and flexible schedule to fit you and your pet in as needed. I can take recommended routes, but I am happy to create an adventure with your pet. I respect all dog parenting styles and will happily follow any training or behavioral instructions that you prefer.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have personally trained my pets to sit, stay, spin, speak, and lay down. Your pet will be so loved in my care. I am currently a junior in college so I have quite a bit of free time to care for these pets when I’m not in class I will be able to provide excellent service because my number one priority is keeping you pet safe, happy, and healthy during my time with them.
“Jeanne was amazing! She gave me updates the whole time I was away, and really looked after my babies. Oliver is the easy one, my Stormie can be a bit much in the skittish department but Jeanne really did wonders with her and had the patience of a saint with her. Jeanne is a great person, she is so easy to talk to and loves all fur babies! Will definitely as her again.”

“Alyssa was great with my two girls, she had a puppy and a senior dog to handle. She administered medication and gave them great attention and care. Would absolutely have her back to dog sit any time with no hesitation!”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, activity levels, and many that need a little extra love and attention. My husband and I currently have two dogs, a beagle and a 115lb lab, so I am comfortable caring for dogs that pull, prefer to keep to themselves, and even those that have separation anxiety. I am a young professional that works full time but my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to drop by for a potty break and play session during the day or in the evening! I understand that trusting your fur baby and your home to a stranger is a big decision. That’s why I am committed to following your explicit directions and sending lots of photos and updates during my time with your pup! I will care for your pup and your home like it is my own! I do not bring my dogs along so I can give yours my undivided attention.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (sometimes 6 at a time!) and currently I’m a proud dog mom to my rescue pup, Junior. He’s taught me a lot about patience, love, and managing special needs like administering meds and dog reactivity. I take pet care seriously (but always with joy!) and treat every animal like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, chill couch time, or just needs someone calm and reliable, I’ve got you covered. I genuinely adore animals and would be so happy to care for yours! I use the Rover app myself for walks and boarding, so I understand the importance of communication and finding a sitter that you can trust. I am a freelance chef and took the next 3 months off work to visit family in Charleston, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I respect the owners care instructions to ensure a smooth transition for your pet. I log everything on the app to ensure trust and safety protocols .

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I've spent years caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I've dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, crate-trained dogs, and providing lots of attention and affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. I work full-time during the week but have flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable pet care. I am available for walks and drop-in visits most afternoons and evenings, and I am available during my lunch breaks for select visits depending on location. I am also free most weekends and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care for your pets. I am committed to being dependable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of following each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks, pay close attention to their behavior, and provide regular updates to owners. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks and drop-in visits, I will treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own pets.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,490 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.

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.
