“If I could give you 10 stars, I would! The absolute best sitter we have ever had. We really appreciated all of the detail and communication during the whole experience. We could tell she genuinely cared about the well being of our dogs and enjoyed checking in on them. I highly recommend and will be using Elizabeth again!”

About: I’m 20 years old and have been around animals for years, with both dogs and cats of my own. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I’m currently working toward making it my career! 🤍 I work at a small animal veterinary clinic and am completing an online Veterinary Assistant program. My goal is to become an official veterinary assistant and eventually continue my education to become a veterinary technician. Hi! I’m Kylie 🤍 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember—truly since I was little. I’ve always been the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog and wants to love on every cat, which is exactly why I work in vet medicine and enjoy doing pet care on the side too. I just can’t get enough of them! I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I know every pet is different. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or a little nervous, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I work weekdays from 7 AM–6 PM, but I get off at 2 PM on Wednesdays, & I don’t go in until 2 PM on Friday’s. Wonky schedule but it gives a little extra time for me to see your furry friends! On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for both walks and drop-ins anytime throughout the day. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’m always careful with the little things—secure leashes, closed doors, familiar routines, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe the whole time they’re with me.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with big dogs my whole life — Labradors, Rottweiler mixes, Pit Bull mixes — and now I have a rescue German Shepherd of my own. I’ve always had a soft spot for pups with big personalities (and big hearts). I also have a lot of experience with anxious dogs and understand how important it is to build trust at their pace. My own dog has anxiety (especially when meeting new people!) and I understand how stressful it can be to find a trusted person to take care of your best friend. Whether your dog needs a calm, steady presence or someone who can keep up on long walks, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just some company while you’re away, your pup will be in good hands! Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! 🐶❤️ Pet care is part of my daily routine! I’m already out walking and spending time with my own dog, so fitting in walks or visits with other pups comes naturally. I love being active and make sure every dog gets the care and attention they need. When caring for pets, I always try to make them feel safe and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible, including walk times, feeding schedules, and playtime. I use positive reinforcement, give lots of affection, and pay close attention to their body language, especially with anxious pups. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their people are away.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals. At a young age my mom breed Lhasa Apsos. I also loved to ride horses and came to adore the Australian Shepherd breed. I now raise Aussies here in town and have one litter a year. It has been a joy for my husband, three kids and I to nurture, train, and love sweet puppies in preparation for their new homes. As a flexible stay at home mom, I am available and well prepared for the opportunity to spend time with your fur baby!! 🐾 I am very flexible during the day! Evenings I just need to be notified in advance due to my kids extra curricular activities. Thank you for entrusting me with your pet! I am open to catering to all types of care requests. Whether it may be walking, jogging, feeding, treats, catch, training, etc. With my experience I am able to cater to each individual animal’s needs.

About: I grew up having animals my entire life and treat my pets like they are just another member of the family, never like an animal. We currently don’t have any pets so we really love when furry friends come stay with us! I have always had a very special bond with dogs, we just seem to understand each other. I will take your dog for multiple smaller walks and a long walk or run at least once per day, depending on what your preferences are. I have a grassed yard that your dog will love to play around on. I will take extra care to ensure your dog is safe, well fed, watered and happy. I live with my husband and kids in a 5 bedroom 3/4 acre lot home. About me: I am currently a housewife and mom. I am home full time and my husband works from home so there will always be someone home to keep your pet company. My husband and I love traveling and have been to over 30 different countries so far. When we have free time or vacation you can bet we will be on the next plane we can. My home: Your dog(s) are allowed to be themselves in my home and have no furniture restrictions. They are even free to sleep in the bed with me if they'd like :) If you have any questions please feel free to contact me prior to booking and I’ll be happy to respond! I am home all day to care for your pets and they will be treated just like a member of my family! They will always have attention and are free to lay on furniture as they please. There will always be someone home to care for and keep your pet company. I will have multiple fresh water bowls available and take notes on their daily routines to make sure they are as comfortable as possible in their new environment.

About: I grew up with family dogs and I have a spoiled little doodle mutt of my own. Your baby will be spoiled rotten in my care ❤️❤️ I often dog sit for family and friends for free since I love having a playmate for my Sushi (my dog) and now they’ve suggested I make it a side hustle. Also, I’m a nurse so I can take good care of both people and doggies. I work 3 12-hour shifts in a week so I’m basically free for 4 days. I also have my husband who will help in taking good care of your pets. Believe it or not he is an even more softie for doggies than me. We’ve been wanting to get a second dog so I’m hoping to keep him busy with foster babies and forget about it for now until we can afford to have another furbaby 😊 I have a fenced yard and 1 very cute doodle to keep your pets company. I also make it a point to walk my dog twice a day and bring her to the dog park nearby. I also often do a pup cup run with my baby so I can definitely bring your baby along and free pup cup on me 😊

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.

Cami, was FANTASTIC! This is the first time we have left him at home with a sitter. Our dog is very affectionate and adjusted to Cami immediately. She was punctual, very responsive with pics and messages, and engaged with our dog for playtime. I would 100% recommend Cami to care for anyone's pet.

Kylie was amazing! She watched and handled our dogs so they could be a part of our wedding! They were going to be in the ceremony but due to rain plans that changed last minute but Kylie was great and went with the flow and handlers them great during photos!

So glad to have found Vicky to look after my 4 cats while I was away! She was extremely reliable, caring, and responsive. My cats took right to her during the meet and greet and even the shyest one was out and playing with her while I was gone! She sent updates and pictures during every drop-in making me feel extremely confident that they were in good hands. Definitely recommend and will definitely use her in the future.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bluffton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bluffton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bluffton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bluffton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
