“This was the first time we used Rover and Chelsea. Chelsea went above and beyond to take care of our Rosy. She was punctual, kept communication open and sent pics along the way. We have another trip in June and have Chelsea lined up to stay again. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an in house sitter.”
“Charlotte was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Jackson. She is super reliable, responsive and definitely has a way with dogs. Jackson fell in love with her the instant he met her! She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her, and have already booked her for 2 future trips. Thanks so much, Charlotte! You're amazing!!”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve loving, dependable care. I've had cats all my life and have even opened my home and heart to stray cats, helping them receive the care and attention they needed. I have also cared for friends, neighbors and family pets for many years. I currently offer care for cats and small to medium size dogs. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, medication (if needed), or simply a friendly face while you're away, I'll treat them with the same kindness and patience I give my own pets. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while giving you peace of mind. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved and cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! I am available early mornings, after 4 pm on weekdays and weekends to care for your cats and small dogs. I am also available for overnight stays in your home. I am a trusted, reliable pet caretaker and will treat your pets like my own. I am detail oriented and will follow all instructions and send frequent updates. I primarily serve the areas of Hilton Head Island and Bluffton neighborhoods.
About: I have had a blue nosed pitbull since I was 8 years old. As many dog owners know pitbulls are very hard to train and take care of. My dog is extremely well trained and is the calmest pitbull I have ever met. Growing up I have been surrounded by many pets and animals in general including mainly ducks, fish, turtles and cats. Animals are my pride and joy and I will always love spending time with them!! I currently work part-time as an esthetician, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to dedicate my free time to giving pets the attention and care they deserve!! I follow a consistent routine to ensure pets receive the care, structure, and attention they need. My own dog is fed and walked every morning at 7:00 a.m. and every afternoon at 3:00 p.m., which helps maintain her health and a consistent daily schedule. I always make sure she has access to fresh water and pay close attention to her cues when she needs to go outside or needs anything else. I have experience caring for a large, strong pit bull, so I am comfortable handling bigger dogs on walks and can confidently manage them on a leash. My dog was born with nerve damage, so I also have experience adapting care to meet a pet’s individual needs. I encourage safe, appropriate play and exercise to keep her active and healthy while always prioritizing her comfort and well-being. I would provide every pet in my care with the same level of patience, attention, and personalized care.
About: Growing up, I've had animals that range from a teeny goldfish to a German Shepherd that was aptly named "Bear". I've been trusted watching not only my family's fur babies, but also those of my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who needs a helping hand. I've been caring for animals my whole life, and started offering animal walking/ sitting services as of 2 years ago. As an owner of two dogs and one cat myself, all with different personalities, I'm confident I can be a sitter you trust! I currently work from home and am available anytime with notice! Whether it's for a quick drop in or an overnight stay, I'm willing to be flexible and help make your busy days easier. I am well experienced in dogs and cats of all behaviors. Whether they are couch potatoes or feisty, I treat every animal with respect and care. I can crate animals, provide shots/pills, and make sure any other of their needs are met to keep them safe.
“Gabriela did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs and one cat over a long weekend. She tended to each of their unique needs and provided frequent updates throughout the weekend. We felt secure knowing that Gabriela was caring for our pets and our home while we were away. And, our home was very clean when we returned. She did a fantastic job caring for our gang!”
“My two goldens had such a lovely time with Morganne! They got plenty of attention and walks and I received tons of updates and photos. I would encourage any dog owner to have Morganne stay in your home and care for your dogs. She feels like a part of our family !”
About: Hey everyone! I have been around animals my whole life, they’ve always been a huge part of who I am. I’ve cared for my own dogs and helped friends and family with theirs, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pups, especially big dogs haha. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or just someone reliable to help out, I’ve got you! I currently work part-time, so my availability may vary depending on my schedule. I’m still happy to help with dog walking and pet care when I’m available and will always communicate ahead of time to find times that work best. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention during walks, make sure pets stay secure on their leash, and follow any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own dog so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Lydia is such a sweetheart. Her communication was outstanding. She took great care of our 10 month old Pomsky. We got delayed and she stayed pass the time she was supposed to leave. Our Lacy loved her. If you are thinking about using Lydia, don’t think twice. You will not be disappointed in the care and concern she will give your pet. Again, we can’t say enough about Lydia. She did such a great job for us.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bluffton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bluffton on Rover is $64.29 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Bluffton 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 Bluffton 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 Bluffton 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.
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.
