About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been helping care for them since I was three years old. People have relied on me to house-sit, walk, and take care of their dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a variety of settings. I’m reliable, active, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets active while respecting their routines and individual needs. I’m comfortable helping with medications and following care instructions. You can also expect regular updates, photos, and quick responses while your pet is in my care. I will treat your pet with the same patience and affection I’d give my own! I’m a Clemson student with a flexible schedule, and I’m especially available on Tuesdays, Thursday’s and weekends. I’m happy to work pet care around my classes and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I love spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my routine is something I genuinely enjoy! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details are handled responsibly. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I am a reliable provider that responds quickly, communicates proactively, and is compassionate to both the pet and owner. As a student, I am looking for an excuse to get away from my desk and release both myself and your pets of our energy! (También sirvo a la comunidad hispanohablante) As a masters student, I am very flexible with my schedule as my work is mostly computer based and outside the classroom. I do not have classes Monday-Wednesday so I am free all day for multiple visits/walks. I will also be free on available weekends for play dates or drop ins when you want to take that well needed vacation! I believe that pet ownership is a great responsibility, and I am here to help you with it. Each animals need is unique, and I cater my services to make sure everyone leaves happy and satisfied!

About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!

About: I have lived with pets my entire life, I have a 5 year old dog currently. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for friends and family frequently when they leave for trips and used to help my grandmother foster kittens! I’m currently a senior at Clemson with a light schedule so I can drop by before/after classes with ease! I have time in the mornings and afternoons for walks and am available most days for pet sitting! I have a very active dog and am used to playing or walking outside for enrichment time. I grew up around cats and dogs and am very fond of both! Whether you need someone to play with them or just keep them company I would love to meet your fur baby.

About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.

About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years. I am currently searching for a part-time job I can pair with Rover to keep my schedule as open as possible. I’m very flexible with the care I provide. Every pet has their own routine and habits. I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets! We have a dog park nearby I can utilize or a walking path if your pet is a little more introverted.

About: I've always grown up around cats and dogs, but when I moved to Minnesota I don't get to be around pets as often, so I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your dog. I am very active and enjoy jogging as well. I work full time as a Real Estate Agent but try to keep my schedule flexible. My aunt is a vet so I would often go into her clinic and visit the animals there, I would also take my family member's dogs for walks all the time. Animals bring joy to my life and I know that having a dog in the city can be difficult, that's why I am here to help as much as I can to take your dog for a walk! I work from home so I can make just about anytime work before 6pm that is! Let me work around your s ch exile to make sure your pet gets the care it needs! Every pet is different, and I feel that matching their energy is very important. First I get their trust and show that I am a safe and kind person before the fun begins!

Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti. Thanks to Emily texting me and keeping me updated, I was able to book a vet appointment for as soon as I could so that he could get treated. I could not recommend her more!

Jessi was awesome. So friendly and quick to respond. Very thorough with her daily reports, and was so kind with dealing with our two ornery dogs! They warmed up to her quickly (for them!) and were very well taken care of by Jessi while we were out of town. We would love to have her back again in the future to take care of our animals while we are out of town!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Central

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Central on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Central. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Central stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
