“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.”
About: I dog sit frequently and therefore have been exposed to a variety of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. I feel very comfortable around dogs and am competent at reading their behavior. I also have previous experience volunteering at a shelter and grew up with 2 family dogs. I currently am in graduate school for Physical Therapy at MUSC, so I have a consistent weekly class schedule, but have evenings and weekends available for your pups! I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, safety, and clear communication with the owner. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—this includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions the owner provides. In a client’s home, I make sure the pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while also keeping the space clean and secure. I provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Marina is absolutely amazing!! I can't recommend her enough. Our pup can be difficult (our fault) and she had zero issues! Stayed in touch and provided the cutest pictures. Nala was very happy and well taken care of. We came home to our house looking nicer than when we left plus the most adorable framed pictureof Nala!! I seriously can't say enough about Marina. If she's available, request her! I hope to use her in the future!!”
“Jayda stayed at our home with our pets while we were on vacation. She is wonderful and did an amazing job. We returned to happy pets and a nice clean home. Jayda is very responsible and I would trust her anytime I need a sitter. Thank you, Jayda. Hank and Opal loved spending time with you.”
“Tara was amazing with our animals! She cared for them in our home for 9 days. She sent lots of updates & pictures. When we returned home, all the animals were happy & the house was left in great condition. We plan to have her care for our animals again. Thank you, Tara!!”
About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing pets’ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats and I am happy to help! I am home for the summer so I will be available pretty much anytime of day throughout the week and weekend! Message me for more detailed info! I am a very neat and tidy person and always make it a priority to clean up after myself and the animals when I am pet sitting, doing check ins, etc!
“We LOVE Gracie! This was our first time ever having a house sitter for our dogs and she did amazing! She kept us updated with pictures of our babies and constantly let me knew how they were doing! Will be rebooking in the future!”
About: My name is Lena and I live in Seneca, SC. I currently work as a licensed veterinary technician at a local animal hospital and have previous experience working in boarding as well. I have a dog and 5 cats, but growing up my family was always centered around having animals like fish, birds, cats, and dogs. I would love to meet and care for your furry friends! My current work schedule is four 10hr shifts. If their care lands on a work day I’m available for before shift, during my lunch break, and after shift. I may have to work a Saturday morning but that is only until 8am-noon. I can work your fur babies schedule with mine as best I can and what you are comfortable with. I’d love to chat and see if I’m able to make it work for you. I currently am not able to host in home boarding due to being in an apartment at this time and not having the adequate space and yard.
“Shirley is wonderful with our dog who doesn't like to be left anywhere without us! She enjoyed Shirley's company, got in some walking (her passion) and was content when we got home. Shirley pays attention to details and was very thoughtful. Thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and caring for them has always been a big part of my life that I’m so lucky to have. I’ve had four cats over the years and currently have two at home when I’m not at college, so I’m very used to different personalities, responsibilities, and giving them the attention they need. Last fall, my roommates and I fostered two puppies for two months, which was such a great experience. It taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and working with puppies with lots of energy, which I wasn’t used to before. I’ve also been dog walking for my neighbors since middle school, so I have a lot of experience walking different types of dogs. Caring for other people’s pets means a lot to me, and I take the responsibility seriously as I would want someone to do the same for me. I’m a full time nursing student, but I’d love to spend the free time that I have with your pets! Monday, Thursday and Friday I am gone from 5:30 am-5:30 pm, but can help out before or after those times. Tuesday I’m gone from 7 am-5:15 pm. Wednesdays I’m done early and am home by 12:30! Weekends I have full availability! Some weeks the hours are slightly different depending on my lab and clinical times so please reach out! I live in an apartment so I don’t plan to take the pets back to my home. For dog walking, I will make sure they get an adequate distance in and plenty of exercise. I love being outside and getting fresh air so this is a win win for me! I can try to stick to their usual walking schedule as best as I can. I am able to walk in your neighborhood or go to a place you typically walk with them! For drop ins, I will make sure they have a clean area to be in, and get some energy out playing and being able to go to the bathroom. They will get plenty of attention! For house sitting, I will try to keep them on their usual schedule per your instructions and be able to spend quality time with them to keep them relaxed and happy while you’re away. For any of the services, I prioritize making sure the pet is cared for thoroughly.
“Caroline is a great pet sitter! She took care of our 2 dogs (one who is a coonhound who is sweet but not the easiest temperament!), our indoor/ outdoor cat and our chickens, goats and barn cats. It’s hard for us to leave our farm for vacation but she was in top of it! She watered my front porch flowers and kept them alive during a heat wave. The house was in immaculate condition and all the pets were in good spirits. I can highly recommend her taking exceptional care of your animals and house!”
“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
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!!
My wife and I have 5 rescue dogs ranging from large to tiny, senior to puppies. Needless to say we were anxious about going out of town for five days. That was until we met Stacie S. All of our pups took to her immediately, as did we. She is very comfortable around dogs since she has two of her own. Stacy didn't hesitate at all about caring for our pack and their individual needs, from dispensing specific medications, to paying special attention to the puppies as they navigated our fenced yard. She stayed in close contact with us including daily updates and sent terrific photos of our dogs often sitting in her lap or going about their daily routines. She went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations, allowing us to focus on our family gathering rather than wondering if the dogs we're being properly attended to. We look forward to having Stacy care for our pups again. We would highly recommend her.
Super sweet and such a pleasure to work with! She kept me updated on when she was heading over and even arrived 10 minutes early, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clemson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clemson on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clemson. 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 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 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.

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.
