“Alexandra did a wonderful job watching our dog at our house. She and Petunia (our dog) bonded very quickly. She sent us a daily picture and provided Petunia with lots of love. Alexandra stayed at our house from Friday - Monday. The house was clean when we returned and she washed the bed sheets and towels. We rate her stay with 5 stars and recommend her highly. We will also be recommending her to our neighbors should they someone to watch their dog.”


About: I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember. Growing up I would watch my neighbors pets anytime they were out of town. Over the years I have gotten to meet so many people + their adorable pets and it truly is so much fun! I love being able to help you and meet a new furry friend. I will love your pet like they are my own! I will be their buddy while you are away. You can trust me and not feel worried leaving your loved one at home. I am a college student so my schedule is busy, however I can work around it and still be there for your pet! You and your pet are important to me. I will do what I am asked! If you have specific instructions I would love to know so I can serve you and your pet best!
“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!
About: I’ve had and taken care of pets since I was a child. I love getting them out and giving them love. I’m so happy to make your fur babies part of my family I work full time from home and make my schedule and have time during the day to be with your pets or take them out after hours. I have a fenced in yard and one pet friendly dog. We love to take long walks and play outside as a family. I would be able to take them out in your home and for good walks
“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!”

“I can not say enough about how awesome Julie was! She kept my pups busy while we were away and we even came home to a clean house. She updated me frequently on how they were doing. I will definitely be having Julie back to watch my pups soon!”

About: I am very young and have been a competitive dancer since the age of 3 and i go to college now in Los Angeles for dance and walking dogs, hiking, being active is my favorite thing to do and id do all of those things with an animal before a person lol. I promise you are in the best hands when your animal is with me. I am home from school for break and have so much free time on my hands! I could walk or watch your dog for as long as you need and more! I will have them with me at all times and make sure they are never out of sight. I have their entire schedule on my phone so that nothing is forgotten and of course i give them all my love.

“Tristan did an amazing job caring for our four pups! It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we were away. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and thoughtful stories about our fur babies, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected to them the entire time. We returned to a clean home and four very happy dogs. We would gladly trust Tristan with our pups again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.
About: Up until recently when I moved I used to help take care of my room mates 4 dogs. I’ve always had a way with dogs and have never met a dog that doesn’t love me! I look forward to meeting your four legged friend! I work full time Monday through Friday but have most afternoons free and am free most of the weekends as well and have plenty of time to watch your pup! I will treat your dog like they are my own, and by they I mean that I’ll spoil them rotten with attention, cuddles and treats
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.
About: I will love your animals as they are my own and send constant updates for you. I will stay in your home and make them and you as comfortable as possible. I work a job as well but love to do this on the side. I make the time for it and am there for you and your animals. I make sure to ask what is needed from me so when to feed and how much. If they take any meds I need to give them or daily walks and baths. I can do whatever is needed/asked of me

“I highly recommend Dianne for pet care services! She was so kind and caring from the first time we met her and both of our pups love her! While we were away on vacation, she shared pictures and updates with us everyday . When we returned from our trip, they both had a smile on their face and looked happy as can be. I will gladly be contacting Dianne for future pet care!”
About: I grew up taking care of so many animals and critters. From Chickens to hamsters to chihuahuas! I take care of every pet as if they were my family. Animals are a blessing and it’s a pleasure to nurture what nature made❤️ I’m pretty flexible! Effective with my time and I spend time with pets. I certainly take my time, scan the pets and try to see if there’s anything else that they’ll need! I care for my pets as if they were my children! Spoiled rotten, I’ll go near and far to get what they need and snuggle them.
About: I have a mini Australian Shepard who I raised while a full time college student and working full time! Currently he stays with my parents only due to my living situation! I love dogs and I love to be active with them! I am also more than willing to snuggle up with any dog! I’m currently working part time and in college! However I have lots of free time, and a reliable car! I would love to be able to find time to spend with your loved animal! The best way to care for a dog is creating a realthionship with it! I plan to bond with your animals while providing the needs of the animals. Each animal has its own personality and I would love to meet yours!
About: I know that finding someone to care for your dog is nerve-racking and the last thing you need when traveling or having a long day at work is to worry if your dog is safe and happy. Whether you need doggy day care, boarding, or someone to drop by and walk, play with, and feed your pup, you can be assured that your dog will get the VIP treatment and all the attention they deserve! I am a professor with a very flexible schedule. I am only required to be on campus for a couple hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. I have been pet sitting for 15+ years, and I've always had dogs. My family has had standard poodles since before I was born, and now I have my own 6-year-old brown poodle, Marrón, who loves having dog friends over to visit. Dogs continuously amaze me with their intelligence and affection, and I aim to return all of the love they give to us. Dogs continue to *train me* on how to respect and work with pups to help them be happy and well-adjusted. I understand that each dog is a unique individual, and I love learning the quirks and needs of each dog. I have studied dog behavior and training and use science-based positive reinforcement methods. My goal is to help dogs and humans work as a team. I am comfortable with a wide range of dogs, from puppy to full-grown, small to large, and all breeds. While pet sitting or dog walking, I can help give your dogs the socialization and exercise they need, making sure they work their brains as well as their bodies. I am also happy to support any obedience and habit training that you are working on. I know that a well-exercised puppy or dog is a happy puppy/dog, and so I'm here to help you and your dog be as happy as possible together All potential clients must set up a meet and greet to ensure that my dog, Marrón, and your pooch get along. He is very social, so dogs who do not get along with other dogs would not be a good match. He does well with most dogs, and even if your dog doesn't love to play, he is ok just co-existing. I do separate the dogs periodically throughout the day for downtime and feeding, but I want to ensure that all dogs are comfortable and happy co-existing in the home together. (Please note: My doggie daycare price is for a standard 8-hour workday. For half days or extended hours longer than 8 hours, we will adjust the price accordingly. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care. I am only required to be on campus for a couple of hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. While I am home most of the day, I do sometimes leave for a couple of hours, so your dog needs to be comfortable being left alone for brief periods of time, whether in the house or in a crate. My typical schedule is below, but I adjust according to each dog’s needs 6-8am - Long Morning Walk or playing at local dog park. Then breakfast 8am-Midday - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) Midday - Short walk and play break Afternoon - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) ~ 4-7pm Long walk and outside play (weather permitting). If it's too hot, then enrichment games and play inside after all dogs have relieved themselves. Dinner Evening chill time and cuddle. Last potty break before bedtime. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable and like to know what rules and routines they are used to at home, so I can provide that here. I will provide the appropriate walks, exercise, and activities for your pup. Marrón is very active, so we go on at least 2 long walks a day and to the dog park in our complex, in addition to more frequent potty breaks. In addition to the dog park in my complex, I live down the street from a larger dog park, and in a very walkable neighborhood. If your dog is not good with dog parks, we will go on walks and find other ways to get them safe exercise and enrichment! I live in a 2br, 2-story apartment, which is set up for maximum dog fun and safety. I can gate off each room to give the dogs their own space, and I tend to do so periodically during the day to give them breaks from playing and to let them eat and nap in peace. I do not take more than 2 dogs at a time, and only when I know that they will get along. So your dog will get lots of attention and supervision. If your dog is crate-trained, I can set your crate up in my house, in my bedroom or in my living room, based on your preference. I also have two crates that I can set up for your dog if they are comfortable in crates other than their own.
“Lindsay stayed in our home with our dog Sydney while we were out of town for a week. She was absolutely wonderful and someone I would highly recommend. She was communicative and trustworthy. Couldn’t have been nicer! We came home to a clean home and a happy pup!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,205 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
