“Chelsea was fantastic! Took great care of our dog and sent updates with pictures each day. We were able to enjoy our weekend away without having to worry about a thing. Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a student at CofC who is home for the summer and would love to spend as much time with pups before heading back to school. I have been pet sitting for five years, gaining experience with many different breeds and have learned to love every kind of pup! I offer potty breaks, dog walking, and overnight stays! I am currently available at all hours as I am home for summer break. I can be flexible to work around your pets typical hours and spend as much time with them as requested. I will keep your animals on their regular scheduled routine, providing them with their typical daily care and exercise routines! I can monitor your animals as frequently as you would like and have clear communication with you!
About: I am a full time teacher, who has a newfound passion for long walks made better with furry friends. I first dog sat in London, England for 3 weeks during the summer of 2023 and fell in love with exploring new parks with two new husky friends. I have since done shorter dog sitting stints locally over the past year. I am a full time teacher, and work part time as a server in a local restaurant over the summer. I have both morning and availability June-July, and evening availability August-May. I always want to ensure the safety of your dog, making sure we are visible to traffic and avoid pavement during high temperatures. I am also willing to drive your dog to a local park if your neighborhood is not optimal for walking.
“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: 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: I have lived my whole life caring for dogs from 1 to 16 years old. I have experience caring for senior dogs, as well as dogs with high energy. I have dog sat for weeks at a time in the owners home and taken dogs on frequent long walks. I can clean up little accidents and bathe dogs. I am currently working part time at a retail shop this summer. I work 3-4 days a week and no more than 6 hours at a time. During the school year, I am a high school special education teacher and can sit overnights and evenings. I am strict about the rules and regulations a client leave for me. I also am very respectful of the animal and their needs and wants.
“I am so happy to have found Debi and to leave my fur babies in her caring hands. She was great with all three of my dogs and was not overwhelmed by my senior gals medications. Thanks Debi!”
About: I have taken care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs over the years. I treat them like my own with lots of love and care. I am a college student at usc upstate who wants to give back to the community and by helping people out with their furry friends. I take my dog on a walk when it is not to hot out so her paws don’t hurt. I make sure the walk isn’t to long but also not to short.

About: I have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of dogs my entire life. From my parents tiny Chihuahuas, to my neighbors massive Chow Chow, and even some very vocal Hound Dogs from the local hunters. I even have experience with giving medicine to diabetic/elderly dogs. I am ready for anything that your pups could need! I am currently only working part time hours, so I am able to take care of your pets while you might be stuck at work! My work schedule fluctuates, so I am also able to squeeze in walks/care during awkward times, such as early mornings or late nights. I believe in being discreet about pet care in someone else’s home/neighborhood. I like to leave things just how I found them, if not better than before! My main focus is the safety and wellbeing of your pets!
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bluffton
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 $64.2 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 601 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bluffton. 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 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.
