“Catie is great! My plans to leave were a little up in the air and she was super flexible. She was timely amd super kind. I came home to a clean space. I could tell the animals were loved.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love! I have experience dog-sitting for families, fostering dogs through a local humane society, and working with animals at a veterinary clinic that cares for both small and large animals. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication as directed, or simply some extra company, I’m happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 As a college student, I have a busy schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I balance school, work, and my other responsibilities while staying organized and dependable. I plan my schedule ahead of time to ensure I can give each pet the attention, care, and exercise they need. I am happy to discuss scheduling in advance to find a routine that works best for both you and your pets. My goal is to provide reliable care while making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 In my own home, I make sure pets have a consistent routine, fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean, comfortable environment. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions carefully and stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special care they may need. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Expect lots of photos and updates while you are away!!
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“Adelyn was wonderful! My doggy was so well taken care of while we were gone, as it was evident when we returned. She regularly communicated with me to coordinate her schedule with Sweet Pea’s needs, and she accommodated me when I had certain crazy requests of her. She’s extremely friendly and quick to understand what we were requesting of her. You won’t be disappointed if you use her!”
“Stacie is fantastic! She house sat our two young large energetic dogs with ease. She is a good communicator, responding quickly and also sending updates and photos. I recommend Stacie with no reservation and will be reaching out to her for all my future house-sitting needs.”
“Marissa is amazing! Super nice and responsive, and took great care of the pups. Even had to go above and beyond a few times when our older dog had a couple accidents in bed. She will definitely be our go to when needed again!”
About: I've taken care of multiple rescue bunnies since I was 15 and gained experience looking after pregnant rabbits and newborn litters. In addition to rabbits, I also have a golden retriever named Bluey, who I've had fun training and taking care of since she was a puppy. I am also a college student majoring in Animal & Veterinary Sciences and am currently working at a veterinary clinic! Pet care fits into my daily routine and weekly routine because I already take care of my bunnies daily. Additionally, I aspire to become a veterinarian, therefore I hope to interact with and care for animals on a daily basis. I care for pets in my client's homes in a variety of ways. This can include feeding them, taking care of litter and waste disposal, grooming them, or just playing and spending time with your furry companions! My grooming services can range from bathing to brushing their fur and nail trimming. My purpose is to ensure that your furry loved ones are comfortable in their home and still feels loved and happy while you are away!
“David was an excellent dog sitter for our two dogs. When he sent photos they looked so relaxed which is such a plus when you are leaving your dogs with someone. Thank you again for taking care of them!”
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.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have had my own dog since I was seven years old. At fourteen, I independently raised and trained a puppy, taking full responsibility for daily walks, feeding, bathroom schedules, basic training, playtime, and overall care. Through that experience, I learned patience, consistency, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days and times throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks or check-ins depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and energy levels to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks or potty breaks, give them attention and playtime, and make sure the home stays clean and secure while the owner is away. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy levels so I can adjust care to their needs, whether they’re very active, anxious, or more relaxed. Because I’ve raised and trained a puppy myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interaction. I’m comfortable with walks, basic reinforcement training, crate routines, cleaning up accidents if needed, and making sure pets get both exercise and affection throughout the day.
About: i have had pets since i was essentially born. i have 4.5 years working in an emergency veterinary hospital, and i currently work in cat rescue. i believe i am well equipped to recognize a medical emergency in cats & dogs. i also have experience with rabbits, fish, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and select reptiles. i am currently unemployed, and i am able to care for your pet during the day through the week, and overnight through the weekend! i do have a 1 year old, so overnight stays during the week would not be an option for us. i will treat your babies as if they are my own while they stay in the comfort of their home. i am unable to board in my apartment, but i am open to pet sitting at your residence.
About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! These 4-6 hour shifts are either 10am-3pm or 3pm-9pm! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
“Laycie was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Loki! She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay and sent us daily pictures, which made our day to see how much fun he was having! Laycie was also respectful of our space and left everything incredibly clean and tidy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter—we would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Clemson is $50

Caroline did a great job caring for our three dogs and three cats, and house sitting. She spent time with the animals, walking the dogs daily and sometimes multiple times per day. She was prompt, respectful, and easy to work with. We will definitely be happy to use Caroline again!!
Superb! After having a good experience with Samantha for drop-ins during a previous trip, I booked her for house and cat sitting over Christmas. Judging by her photos, the cats had a wonderful time. She left my house in tip-top shape, so nice to come home to after a long travel day. Absolutely will book again!
What can I say? Gabriella is a great pet sitter. Our dogs were very comfortable with her on the first meet and greet. She was very communicative during our whole time she sat our pets. We have 3 large dogs and a bird. All were well taken care of. Gabriella sent daily updates, pics , and some videos. Would definitely rebook and recommend to anyone.

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 Clemson 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 Clemson 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 Clemson 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 , 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 .
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 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.
