“JaLisa was awesome. She took excellent care of our two yorkies. The dogs were very calm when we returned. They ate good and slept good. I really like the ideal of keeping the dogs in there home environment, and providing consistency with the dogs. JaLise was able to provide that for me. I will be contacting her again. Thanks JaLisa!”

“Amaris was able to sit for us at the last minute. She did a great job, updates, photos and left our house better than how we left it. We recommend Amaris and will be asking her to sit for Hermione again.”
“Great review. Jennifer took care of our fur baby while we were out of the country. She was prompt and took great care of not only the pup but our home. Everything was nice and neat when we got home which was much appreciated.”
“We haven’t been traveling so I haven’t used these guys in a while, but I did need to call on them a few days ago. Our dog had suffered a medical issue and I felt really comfortable leaving Jonathan and Shelly in charge. They did not disappoint. I still recommend them 100% and already have them lined up for our next trip!”
About: I have had dogs and cared for animals my whole life! I currently have 6 dogs in my home, so I know how much love, attention, and care they need. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and will treat your pets just like they are my own! 🐾 I currently work part-time in healthcare and work every other weekend. I will also be attending Trident Technical College in the fall for nursing. Even with my busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have availability during the week and on the weekends I am not working, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I have always been around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will make sure your fur baby gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your pet may have!
“Megan did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my boy. Sudden travel can be stressful, especially when you have no family in the area, but I felt like she genuinely loved on my dog the way that I do. She was flexible, communicative, and sent fantastic photos to put me at ease. Came home to a happy and calm dog which is the most you can ask. Book with confidence.”
About: I'm excited to meet you and help take care of your furry loved ones! I have two cats of my own and love spending time with animals. I look forward to learning your pets' routines and quirks and, of course, capturing some photos to share while you're away. I know the hardest part of being away from home is missing your favorite family members and I will care for them as if they're my own. In addition to dogs, I have experience with cats, hamsters, rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, and small snakes. Whatever your need, I've got you! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I'm available for one off visits and would also love to become a regular contact for folks who need to travel often or work long hours. It takes a village to care for our families and I'm happy to help. While your home is the safest and most comfortable place for your pet, I'm sure they'll be missing you while you're away. I understand it can take time for them to open up and be comfortable with someone new. I am patient, gentle, and quiet. Your pets' comfort is my first priority. In addition to their play and care routines, I'm happy to water your plants, check your mail, or help in any other way I can.
About: I’ve spent over 21 years caring for cats, 10 years raising dogs, and 5 years caring for bearded dragons through personal experience. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage, from kittens and puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and caring for cats with FIV. Every pet has a unique personality, and I’m experienced working with everything from calm, shy companions to energetic, playful pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care while you’re away! My regular availability is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I’m also available for weekend visits, overnight stays, and extended care when you’re traveling. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to keep them on their normal schedule for meals, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and playtime. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my highest priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and any special care instructions before every visit. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation while always respecting your pet’s comfort level. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks, transport pets to grooming appointments if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return!
About: I've spent years caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Living with a Great Dane has made me very comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and caring for my Labrador through her 17th year gave me plenty of experience with the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I'm also experienced in administering insulin injections and following medication schedules for pets with medical needs. No matter your animal’s age, size, or routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care and feel right at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for the pets in my care. I typically finish work by 3 PM, and I also have two days each week where I work from home, giving me extra availability and flexibility throughout the day. When needed, I can also use my lunch break to check in on your pets and make sure they’re doing well. I’m available for evening and weekend care as well, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and support for your pet’s daily routine. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where I can help pets feel comfortable by keeping their familiar routines and surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I focus on providing attentive, reliable care that includes feeding, playtime, walks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I’m available for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends, and I also offer daily walks and evening walks to help keep pets happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: *PLEASE READ* Transparency is important to me, so I want pet parents to know I work full-time in Mount Pleasant during the weekdays (7:30 AM–4:00 PM). Because of my commute from Summerville, I’m unable to leave work early before 4:00 PM. This schedule works best for pets comfortable during the workday, and I’m fully available for evenings, nights, and weekends.. Communication is very important to me — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re apart. I can do drop in before 630 am and anytime after 4 pm Caring for pets fits naturally into my day because spending time with animals is something I truly love.” Dogs are my peace and relaxing time. “Reliable, loving care for your pet, with routines, exercise, and plenty of attention. “Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority." Happy babies.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother served on the board of a Jack Russell rescue — which meant at least three of them running around at any given time. My first dog as an adult was Molly, a border collie who never met a person she didn't like. Every dog I've cared for since has gotten that same love and attention. When it comes to housesitting, I treat every home like my own. I bring in the mail, water the plants, vary the lights, take out the trash, and send regular photos and updates so you can truly relax. You come home to exactly what you left — sometimes with a very happy pet (or two or three...) at the door. My availability is genuinely flexible — some weeks I'm fully available, others I'm part-time, so I always recommend checking my calendar for current openings. What stays consistent is my commitment: when I'm with your pet, I am fully present and fully focused. I work around your schedule, your pet's routine, and whatever your family needs. I provide care exclusively in your home — because that's where your pet is most comfortable, and comfort matters. I believe the safest pet is an attentive one, so I give every animal in my care my complete attention. Your home is treated with the same respect I'd give my own, and your pet's routine, quirks, and needs are taken seriously from day one. In rare emergency situations, I am able to bring your pet into my home for overnight care, so they are never left without a loving hand. You won't have to wonder if everything is okay — I'll make sure you know.
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
“Julie watched our three pets for four nights while we were out of town and did a wonderful job. It was not the easiest situation as we have a highly anxious dog who is slow to warm up to new people and a high needs, elderly cat. We were worried about finding somebody to do all of the things involved in making it a stress free weekend for the animals, but Julie seemed to work magic and everyone was happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her communication was great and it was nice to get updates and know that I was OK back at home. We arrived home to happy animals and a very tidy house, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely have Julie over again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend.”
About: Pretty consistently have house sat for a family with 2 dogs up to a week in length. And have done the same from time to time with other families/pets. I work for my family business and will be starting PT school this fall. So just looking for a way to make some extra money and I do love dogs. The family business has busy times and slower times and so I will be available in between trips this summer. PT school will be busier, but would be doable even during that time. Treat them as they are my own pets. I have had two dogs most of my life and know how to take care of them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cottageville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,262 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cottageville. 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 Cottageville 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 Cottageville 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 Cottageville 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.
