“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’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small companion animals. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in providing attentive, compassionate care. I’m currently a Wildlife & Pre-Vet student at Auburn University, where I’m building a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and welfare. This summer, I’m gaining hands-on experience working with animals in a professional setting, which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, health monitoring, and enrichment. Because of my internship, I’m unavailable Sunday–Wednesday from 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, but I’m available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM, evening visits after 4:30 PM, overnights, and have full availability Thursday through Saturday. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and other clients, providing feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and believe communication is just as important as great care. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate, and dependable care every visit. I have a flexible schedule this summer with a part time internship, so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I may be away for a few hours during the day on some weekdays, but I always plan my schedule to make sure pets are well cared for and checked on consistently. I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always secure on walks and monitored closely during visits. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar and stress free environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Debi was great with our senior Labrador. She kept us updated and gave us comfort in being away. It’s hard to leave a fur baby, especially an old one, but Debi took care of her and our home the way we would have. We’d love to use her again!”
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.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 5 years, and have worked in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs! I currently work part time which will give me ample time to take care of your pup! I do have a kitten in home but he has been around dogs before so he is comfortable around other animals! I live in an apartment but I can do frequent leash let outs. We are in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and space to go on walks.
About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I genuinely love it. I've cared for dogs of all ages — including a senior dog I looked after for a full month while his owners traveled internationally — and cats during weekend trips, checking in regularly for feeding, playtime, and company. As a former project manager, I'm naturally detail-oriented and reliable, so I'll follow your care instructions to the letter. I also work from home, so pets get consistent attention throughout the day, and I'm completely comfortable staying overnight to keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether it's a senior dog needing extra care, a younger pup with energy to burn, or a cat who just wants company, I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and my schedule is flexible enough that I can work from anywhere. That means I'm not squeezing in a quick visit before rushing off to an office — I'm around throughout the day for feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. If I'm staying overnight in your home, I can simply bring my work with me and keep my normal routine going while giving your pet consistent attention morning, noon, and night. Pets aren't an interruption to my day — they're part of it. When I'm in a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific instructions they leave me. For overnight stays or boarding, I settle in just like I would in my own home, so pets have consistent company, playtime, and comfort throughout the day and night rather than being left alone for long stretches. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit covers everything needed — food, water, a bathroom break, and some one-on-one attention — and I check the home to make sure everything is secure before I leave. Regardless of the service, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I'm happy to send photo or text updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
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 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: Hi, I’m Tiffany! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover and a Hilton Head Island native who truly can’t imagine life without dogs in it. Growing up here has given me a deep connection to this community, and I love being able to care for the pets of the people who call Hilton Head home. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities from tiny pups under 20 lbs to large breeds over 100 lbs. I’ve learned that every dog is unique, and I love taking the time to understand their individual routines, needs, and personalities so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a drop in visit, companionship while you’re away, or extra patience and attention, I provide the same loving care I would want for my own pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur child, so I make it a priority to keep you updated with photos, messages, and little moments throughout our time together so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pups! Whether you’re at work or away on vacation, I’d love to give your dog the attention, exercise, and love they deserve 🐶 I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they feel most comfortable. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and tidy up after playtime or visits. I also love sending updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy and cared for while you’re away 🐾
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with both large and small breeds. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, senior dogs, and pets that require extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m available to take care of your pups on weekends. I can also provide house sitting on weekends and throughout the week. Additionally, I can take your pup on a 30 minute walk through the day. To provide safety while staying in a client’s home, I keep doors and windows locked, follow all care instructions, maintain the home’s security, monitor the pets closely, and immediately report any emergencies or concerns to the owner.
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 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.
“Emily was great! She came to our camper while we were on vacation for our excursion day. And we felt 100% confident everything would be taken care of after our little meet and greet day. If we were ever back in the Keys we wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
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 a Dog of my own name little Sammy. I’m used to taken care of Labrador and retrievers. I also feel more comfortable taken care of bigger dogs than smaller dog due to the fact that’s usually what I’ve taken care of. I try to go for running or the dog park at least once daily and take them out for walks at least three times a day. We usually eat in the morning, lunch and dinner and sometimes I provide treats. Sammy loves playing with dogs and it’s supper friendly for when I have dogs over. I’ve had dogs my whole entire life since I could remember. Always remember dog loves you more than they love themselves so treat them kindly and love them unconditionally. I currently work from home and my job is flexible. I also have a dog that needs daily walks, take him to the park and daily food. So, I’m used to doing pet care on a daily basis. I live in an apartment with minimum furniture so dogs can be safe with no worries. I also have a balcony with metal railing for railing.

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.

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.
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 625 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bluffton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
