“Really helped us out in a pinch. Our dogs loved her, she was very understanding, communicative, and clean. I’ll definitely try to rebook with her when needed!”
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 (mainly Shih Tzus) 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.
“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!”
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.
“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 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!
“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!!”
“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 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: hi! i am a responsible dog walker & sitter that will give your pet the attention & love they deserve. i have always loved animals from a young age. i am very attentive & will be sure to pay close attention to each pets needs. the time spent with your pet will be as fun for me as it is for them. i am currently attending CofC so my schedule varies slightly. i love to go on walks & your pet can definitely tag along with me! i personally don’t have any pets currently. i grew up with multiple pets though. i will always provide a safe & fun place for your pet.
“Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and horses for more than 20 years. I can provide advanced medical care for dogs of all ages, but especially for our aging friends! I also love cats but I do have less experience with cats. I am a fully remote nurse practitioner so I will have time for potty breaks throughout the day and time for 1-2 longer walks daily. For my client’s home I will try to keep your pet on a similar schedule to what they are used to or maybe even more walks if they are up for it (I LOVE walks and hikes). I have worked with dog trainers on positive reinforcement and treat training so that is the type of care I have given my dogs. I think our animals deserve all the love for the short time they are with us and I will give them all my love!
About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible! I am new to the Charleston area but currently a Law School student at CSOL. I have a car and am located right downtown Charleston with quick access to the highways. I have no issues crating animals or following safety instructions and being respectful of other people’s homes and pets. I am very good with written instructions and last minute drop ins.
“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 always been an animal lover and enjoy spending time with pets. I’m active, responsible, and attentive, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime as well as cats who appreciate some attention and companionship. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule depending on the week. I can walk your pet before work, during my lunch break, and after work depending on how active your pet is. I will make sure that they are active and get plenty of bathroom breaks. I treat them how I would want to be treated. When I am away at work, either my roommate or girlfriend will stop in to check on your pet.

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.
