“Mary was a fantastic house sitter for our cat Socks. We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover! We now feel more freedom to travel knowing our Socks and our home is safe!”
About: I've been around dogs all of my life. Even as a baby my dad had dogs, and there hasn't been a time in my life I didn't have at least 1 in the house! I've dealt with all ages of dogs, from newborn puppies to seniors, I have the skills! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!! Currently, I'm working odd jobs here and there, so I'll be there whenever you need me if I have the availability!! I can stay as long as you need me to as long as I have a heads up If you ask me to do it, I'll do it!! Want me to crate your baby before I leave? You got it! Want me to put on their cartoons, done and done! I'll do any and every need for your animals, just be sure to tell me so I'll know!
“Kim is very personable and easy to connect with. She remembered details about my dog’s care She also watched my house and informed me when my water feature stopped working. She loves dogs and it was clear that she loved mine. Pictures while I was away helped me cope with being away. The house and my dog were both in great shape when I returned after I was away for a week. She was very flexible with scheduling and even followed up to make sure that I didn’t need her to check back in — in case we had a flight delay. She will definitely be my first choice moving forward.”
“Haily did an amazing job with my super needy lab mix. She took him for walks, spent time with him all day and played fetch with him non stop because that’s all he ever wants and won’t stop until you stop lol she did so great and Hercules LOVED her! She gave me updates throughout my time away and made me feel extremely comfortable with her in my home. I would definitely book Haily again and would recommend her to anyone needing someone fun, knowledgeable, and loving to take care of their pets while they’re away! Thank you so much Haily!”
“Christine was very conscientious and kind when caring for our 8 yr old pup. She sent photos every day and always responded to my text messages. I felt that she took her responsibility seriously and spent quality time with our dog. Our house was very tidy when we returned from being away. All in all, a positive experience!”
“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My mom breeds Maine Coons, so I’ve helped care for kittens and adult cats by feeding, cleaning up after them, socializing them, and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I also had a dog of my own, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to provide a safe, loving environment for your furry family members. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll communicate with you to make sure their routine stays as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll care for your pets in their familiar environment, following their usual routine and any instructions you provide. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! From goats to bearded dragons I’ve cared for everything! I’ve helped raise puppies into adulthood throughout my entire life. Here recently I’ve started taking out fur babies for thirty minutes to an hour for potty breaks and walks! I’ve also started doing overnight visits! I currently do have a full time job but I don’t go in until later in the day typically my work day starts between 12-2 PM and ends at 8 PM this is on the weekdays. On the weekends I have shorter half days where I go in at either 9-10 AM and leave work at 6 PM, sometimes earlier depending on the scheduling. So any time before or after that time frame I am available for all your pet needs, including overnight care taking. I follow every instruction given to me by pet owners. If the pet needs to be on a leash I insure that they are walked and taken outside on one. I also be sure to ask for any allergies a fur baby might have that way I don’t accidentally give them a treat they’re allergic to! I also make sure they are in my eye sight at all times to ensure their safety from their surroundings. Another thing I love to do is send update photos and videos to the owners showing how much fun their babies are having!
“Shelly exceeded our expectations! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of pictures! She spent so much quality time with our cat and dog so we knew they were getting spoiled! Our house was very clean when we got home! We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter while we are away! I hope we get to book her again when we go on vacation! Thank you so much!! 😊”

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! Currently I am on summer vacation & would love to help as many families as possible during my “time off.” My scheduling is pretty open and I’m super flexible. 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. :)
“Lee did a great job and kept us updated on what was going on. He answered questions in a timely manner. This was our first time leaving our furbaby overnight and he helped ease our fears. He thought ahead and left the lights on for us and our pooch since it would be late when we came in. I will gladly book his services again.”
About: Hi! I’m Mayson, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including high-energy and anxious dogs. I also have experience with cats, farm animals, chickens, and other small animals. Along with pet sitting, I also have experience working with animal shelters, which has helped me become comfortable handling a wide variety of animals and personalities. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone! Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I work morning shifts from 5:30am–1:00pm, but I still plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. My work schedule does not affect my ability to do overnight stays. I’m flexible and make time daily for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins depending on each pet’s needs and routine. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I have experience from both pet sitting and working with animal shelters, so I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and needs. In a client’s home, I also make sure to keep everything clean, respectful, and stress-free so pets feel safe in their own environment.
About: I have been around dogs and cats specifically for my whole life having taken care of my own along with family and friends. I strive to take care of your pets just as I’d take care of my own. I am currently in college for the next two years while working as a fitness trainer. I am available outside of training hours as my coursework for school is minimal at the moment. I do not currently accept pets at my own home, though I am able to take care of pets needs most specifically cats and dogs. Whether it is taking your pet for a walk, cleaning up, feeding them, or any other way of taking care of them I emphasize the quality in which I take care of them like they are my own.
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a reliable and flexible pet sitter! I have a soft spot for all kinds of cats and small dogs, and will probably take a million pictures with your fluffy friends! I am currently working 8-5:30 in the Greenwood area and love to care for pets in my free time! If you have any questions about availability, please feel free to message or check my calendar! I send pictures and communicate with you a lot about your pet, to make sure they are getting the best care possible from me. I want them to feel as comfortable as they would be with you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Donalds
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 682 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Donalds. 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 Donalds 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 Donalds 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 Donalds 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.
