“Ashley was fantastic! She got to our house right on time, stayed with our two dogs from 1/18/26 - 1-23-26. She sent a photo a day and my husband and I felt very comfortable leaving them with Ashley.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I currently live with and help care for three dogs (ages 1, 3, and 12), so I’m very familiar with managing different needs! I work part-time hours, so my time is pretty open overall. My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.
“Victory did terrific job with my three dogs! Victory administered thyroid medicine for one of my dogs twice a day. Victory was also wonderful with my puppy, and total she had three dogs and did an amazing job. Thank you!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”
“Catherine took great care me of our dog and communicated well and sent pictures during her five night stay. The house was in good shape and everything in order. I would definitely use her 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.”
“Danielle was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and cats while we were away for a week. This was my first time booking through Rover and she made the whole process easy. I especially appreciated her efforts to make sure everything was covered during our trip. I’m so grateful for her help, and I will definitely try to book her again for our future trips.”
About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a healthcare professional with a lifelong passion for animals. I’m a proud owner of four cats—Fireball, Pumpkin, Midnight, and Roo—as well as three goats, with another little one on the way! 🐱🐐 I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including household pets, farm animals, and exotic animals. I’m dependable, compassionate, and committed to providing every animal with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I have plenty of references available upon request, so please feel free to ask! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry, feathered, or farm family members. ❤️ I create my own work schedule, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting services to help care for your pets when you’re unavailable. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and experienced to look after your pets, please feel free to reach out! I’d love to help. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care instructions provided. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Brenda was fantastic. She communicated well, updated me on a daily basis and sent me pictures. I have always felt uncomfortable when I had to travel and leaving my guys at a kennel. Because the t are older and "set in their ways". I was looking for a service that allowed them to stay in familiar surrounding and disrupt their routines. Brenda and Rover definitely met my requirements. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone who wants a kind, friendly, professional who readily bonds with your four legged buddies. Regards. JWC”
“Kerstin was precious. I had never left my pets with anyone other than family so I was incredibly nervous. Kerstin just put us at ease. The pets loved her. She was very respectful of our home and treated the pets with such kindness. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Samantha was absolutely FANTASTIC!! She took such amazing care of our 2 pups while we were out of the country, and she was great about providing frequent updates. I will definitely book again!”
“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!”

FAQs for House Sitting - East Gaffney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Gaffney. 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 East Gaffney 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 East Gaffney 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 East Gaffney 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.
