“Mikayla, as always, was amazing. Our doggo’s love her and so do we. She always goes above and beyond. Had some things going on with our house while we were away and she went out of her way to help us with it. Can’t recommend her enough, she’s always our first choice.”
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
“Frances was Wonderful taking care of my babies while I was on vacation. I was gone for 5 days, and have two dogs….a German Shepherd and a Boxer, and they were well taken care of. I would highly recommend Frances for any of your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had many experiences with cats and dogs from all sizes and ages. I’m very patient and caring to all fur babies and their quirks. I love catering to their needs whether it calls for active energy or a more laid back atmosphere! I’m currently working full time from 6-3 and am a college student. I do school online so I am able to be flexible with my school work and will make time to care and check up on pets throughout the week. I have 4 cats and a dog and many before them. So I have my fair share of pet experiences. Trust is a big factor when it comes to other pets and it can’t be rushed so it’s super important to be patient and able to read body language to make pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”
“Jonathan is an awesome dog sitter! I will definitely hire him again in the future. He kept me informed about how Bear was doing during the entire stay. I came home to my home being in great shape too. Bear was happy to see me, but I think.he misses Jonathan.”
“We needed someone to house/dog sit while we were out of town for a week. Jonathan was great! We could tell the dogs got lots of long walks and plenty of attention. We would definitely rebook him!”
“Alexa was wonderful. I can't say enough about her. Our pups quickly fell in love with her and we left knowing the feeling was mutual. We didn't worry about them nor the house at all and were able to enjoy ourselves. We don't travel much but will definitely use Alexa again!”
“Alex is amazing with animals and was great with my dog daisy. I have a 2-year old mountain feist that still has a lot of energy and Alex was able to give her the exercise and attention that she needed while I was away.”
“Myriah was absolutely amazing! She took such care of our dog like she was her own. We were on vacation and my little Luna definitely got a vacation of her own being with Myriah. We will definitely be using Myriah again in the further.”
“Everything seemed to go great. Very quick responses. House was even cleaner than we left it. My dogs seemed to really like her, and they seemed completely happy and stress free when we arrived home.”
“Erin did a great job watching our dog Kaya! We were out of town for the night and Erin made sure Kaya was well taken care of! She sent numerous photos and treated Kaya like she was her own!”
About: Hi! I’m a Doctor of Chiropractic who loves helping people and their pets. I’m a recent graduate and new business owner. I have been watching and walking dogs for neighbors and family members (and my own dogs) since I was in high school I currently work part-time while I’m getting my business off the ground so I’m free most days and times to care for your pets and their needs. I can easily accommodate anything that you do in your own house with your pets. I can crate or not, I can walk and check up on them often.
About: I’ve taken care of almost any domesticated animal you can think of (from fish to horses). I currently only have two pets of my own, but I love all animals and treat them like royalty:) I’m currently on summer break from college, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I will need some notice before hand, but mostly every day of the week will work for me. I will care for your pet at your home so you feel comfortable and know that they are in safe hands. I have plenty of experience with house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking.
About: Hello there! My name is James, your pet’s friendly neighborhood Jedi 🐾 Whether your furry companion is more Ewok than Wookiee, I believe every pet deserves care, patience, and a little adventure. I approach pet sitting like a true Jedi: calm under pressure, attentive to details, and fully committed to keeping the galaxy (and your home) safe. From long walks that feel like epic missions to quiet cuddle time worthy of the Jedi Temple, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. Communication is my version of the Force — strong and reliable. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I take pride in being dependable, respectful of your home, and focused on making your pet feel comfortable and loved. So whether you’re heading off on your own adventure or just need backup from the Pet Care Alliance, I’m here. May the Paws Be With You — always. I am available anytime. Just let me know when you need help, and I will be there for you. This will change in April, when I start my new job! When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection during each visit. Whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to your pet’s personality and energy level. I also respect your home as if it were my own. I keep everything clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and provide regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for at home.
“We absolutely love when Ted has the availability to watch Waylon, our dog for us! Ted is incredibly responsive, caring, and our dog loves him. We don’t worry for a minute when he’s watching Waylon and that is priceless to us!”
“This was the first time I’ve had someone stay at my house and I could not be happier. Such a better option for my senior pups to keep them at home and in their environment. The house was sparkling clean when we returned and the pups were happy! Thank you so much!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cowpens. 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 Cowpens 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 Cowpens 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 Cowpens 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.
