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.
“Great experience! The sitter took excellent care of Dakota and made the whole process super easy. They were reliable, friendly, and followed all the instructions I left. I really appreciate the help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. I’ll definitely book again!”
“I’ve asked Reagan multiple times to watch my Dakota and she’s done an amazing job every time! Shows up on time, sends plenty of pics and updates, she even cleaned up after him all week! 10/10 every time!”
“We could not be any happier with Zoe! She is very attentive and loving to our Kirby! He absolutely loves his daily visits with her! Our family highly recommends Zoe for all your pet sitting needs. She will go above and beyond for your fur babies just like she does for Kirby!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my neighborhood over the past few years. I also have 2 cavapoo puppies at my parents house that I help take care of. I currently am a sophomore at Clemson and I have class Tuesday and Thursday so I can’t pet sit those days but every other day I am completely free. I currently can’t board any pets at my home but I at my clients house I always make sure that I am watching the pet and keeping them safe.
About: Hi! My name is Lillie Sabo, and I’m currently a student at Clemson University! I’m excited to offer pet-sitting services to families looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to look after their pets while they’re away. I absolutely love spending time with animals and know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like their own.

My schedule over the summer is pretty open besides vacations but other than that I can be available for all your needs! In my home our pets have a fenced in yard, water to access at all times of the day, they are fed at specific times of the day, and treats are their favorite so they get a few throughout the day! Your pets will receive the same love and care that my dogs at home receive for sure!
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: Hi! I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who has loved animals my whole life. I had a French Bulldog named Nugget for 10 years, and I was actively involved in caring for him every day. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, attention, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, providing companionship, and following any special care instructions. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I gave Nugget I have a flexible schedule and can make time to provide reliable care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and specific care instructions. I will ensure your pet has fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and lots of attention. I will treat your home with respect and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“At the very last minute I asked and Heidi responded with a "yes" to check on my dog while I attended a funeral. I was so grateful. She sent me photos and let me know how things were going. I would love to have her check on Layla again. I highly recommend her!”
“After meeting Jenna the first time I knew my sweet Tilly girl would be in the best hands. Jenna is so caring and took amazing care of my girl. Highly recommend her for any pet needs you may have.”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals ranging from small and large dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards. I am reliable to get the job done and more. I currently am a full time student at Clemson University with a reliable car and am willing and able to work around my class schedule. I am very good at following directions and will always ask questions when needed. I will be attentive to any accommodations your pet may require. I strongly believe in treating your pet how I would want to be treated.
“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
About: I’m retired and using my spare time to look after fur babies of all shapes and sizes. I love pets and have years of experience in animal training too! If you’re looking for full time, comprehensive care, this is it. 😊 As a retired veteran, this is my main source of income and I’m very dedicated to it. I am involved in pet care every day because I have a dog and cat of my own and I love them like family. Taking care of animals puts me at ease and helping others is my mission in life, so I’m very devoted to doing this job well. My complex is gated and I have created a special space in my home for guest pets. I have LOTS of toys and training tools available so the fun never stops! I follow instructions to the letter and do my absolute best to go above and beyond in all that I do. Animals are such a beautiful blessing on this Earth and I really treasure every opportunity to interact with them. It just makes me happy!

“Loved having Cassie spend time with our dogs while we were away. I loved the pictures and report card of their time together. Cassie communicated with us so well! I had no worries about my fur babies because of her care.”
About: Hi everyone! I have been pet sitting for about 7 years! I have watched dogs in my own home and in other people's homes. I have also watched a number of cats in other peoples home. I have watched dogs of all ages, young and old. I have also watched multiple dogs at once. I have my own dog that is 6 years old. I also do have a kitten, but she can put away in her own space when your friend is at my home. I am also willing to give daily walks. I will make sure that your pets are well taken care of. I hope that you will consider me when you need a pet sitter or dog walker! During the day, I work full time. This means my availability is limited to the evenings or weekends. I work full time, so I am available after 6:00pm everyday. I have weekends off!. I will visit any pets in the evenings during the week! I have an area of grass that the dogs would be able to potty and walk around on. We can also go on walks around the neighborhood!
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for neighbors and members of my community, providing responsible and affectionate care. Additionally, as a dedicated volunteer for Oconee Humane Society, I gained hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My passion, reliability, and experience make me a trustworthy pet sitter who will guarantee that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a college student at Clemson University so my availability depends on the flexibility of my class schedule during weekdays. Conversely, on weekends I have greater availability. I prioritize safety and trust in every aspect of my pet sitting service. With years of experience caring for animals—including working at the Humane Society and raising my own four cats and my 1 dog—I understand the importance of creating a secure, comfortable environment. I follow strict safety protocols and maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable care every time.
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and truly hands-on care I give every pet. I’m used to managing high-maintenance, high-love dogs, so I understand routines, health needs, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, and cleanliness, and I’m always tuned in to a pet’s body language and comfort level. I have experience with: puppies, sensitive or anxious dogs, senior care, and daily photo updates - so you always feel connected. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine over Christmas break because I have a lot of free time and flexibility. I’m home with my three Frenchies, so I’m already in a consistent rhythm of feeding, playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day. Adding another pet into that routine is easy and natural. Since I’m not in classes during break, I’m able to give pets tons of time, structure, and supervision. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule, getting outside for exercise, or just providing comfort and company, I can be fully present and attentive. During the holidays, caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — I genuinely have the time and availability to make it a priority. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. At my home, pets join my three friendly Frenchies for supervised play, consistent feeding times, potty breaks, and plenty of attention—especially since I have lots of free time over Christmas break. In a client’s home, I follow your exact schedule and house rules so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. In both settings, I stay attentive, communicative, and treat every pet like my own.
“Justine is so nice and knew what it was like to look after a cat who can be a challenge at times! We're new to the area, so was thrilled to find someone flexible and reliable. Since she works at a veterinarian office, I booked an appt for my cat the following week. Only wish she did overnight stays as my cat needs the attention/company if I'm gone longer than two days.”

Great experience! The sitter took excellent care of Dakota and made the whole process super easy. They were reliable, friendly, and followed all the instructions I left. I really appreciate the help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. I’ll definitely book again!
She is absolutely the best! Everything I could have asked for in someone taking care of my cats. She is caring, reliable, always on time, and pays attention to even the smallest details. She also kept me reassured and supported whenever I was worried, which meant so much to me. I couldn’t recommend her more!
This is our second time having Laurel watch our babies while we are out of town. She’s fabulous as always! Very attentive and great communication. She was available right away as we had to go out of state for funeral. We will definitely be having her look after our pets again.
Amethyst was GREAT!! I didn't know till very last minute that i wouldn't get home from work in time. She answered immediately when i requested. She is a great communicator. She text me as soon as she arrived let me know Reggie was a little nervous about what she should do. I gave her some ideas. She made sure he was fed, taken out and had water. She made sure my house was secure. She sent videos and communicated really really well. She did a great job. I would recommend her to anyone.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Central is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.

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.

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.
