“We needed a last minute sitter to stay with our dog Banksy for a week. We were naturally worried about inviting a stranger to stay in our home but when Rachel came over for a quick meet/greet we immediately relaxed. Rachel was so friendly, kind, honest and normal that we had no worries whatsoever. And we were right. Rachel kept Banksy busy and updated us daily with info and pics. We just got home and Banksy is happy and the house is spotless. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet sitting needs!”
“Sarah is communicative, caring, and clearly loves the animals she looks after. She kept me updated throughout and gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy, Leia, while we were out of town. She was great with communication, kept us updated every day and was both responsive and proactive throughout. Highly recommend and we will definitely book her again. Thanks, Emma!”
“Tonya was a fantastic sitter for our 2 senior dogs. She was incredibly responsive providing daily updates and photos and gave the dogs so much love and care while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again for our dog sitting needs!”
“Graham did an amazing job taking care of our two fur babies! We were nervous to have to go out of town over Christmas and not be able to travel with them, but after talking & meeting with Graham we knew immediately that they would be in great hands. We have a 10yr old (very anxious) Boykin Spaniel and a 7yr old 13-lb mixed breed, and we hired Graham to stay at our house with them over the week we were out of town. Graham sent multiple pictures and updates to us via text each day, which was so fun to see how they were doing and made us appreciate the time he took to share everything with us. Graham is a very talented musician and played music for them each day, and I could tell they had both been played with and loved on the whole time we were gone. Separately, he did a great job of taking care of our house including watering our plants, bringing in the mail, and even placed his linens in the washing machine at the end of the stay! He really went above and beyond in caring for them (and our home). We will definitely be re-booking with Graham in the future and I can't recommend him enough if you're looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pets!”
“We are obsessed with Laura! Our boys, Murphy and French Toast, had a great time hanging out with Tobe! We had some travel issues with flights delayed, having to get a rental car and took much longer to get home and Laura made sure the boys were all set before we knew when we would be home! Loved getting cute pics while on vacation! Definitely going to be booking again for our next vacation 🫶🫶🫶”
“I would definitely recommend Heather a a doggy sitter. She took care of Lacey and Ginger (the girls) while I was on vacation. She sent me daily photos which helped alleviate any anxiety I may have had leaving them at home. For 2 days, after I returned from vacation, they would look out the front door, I believe waiting for Heather. I take take as a good sign !”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
“Jacquelin was great! She took excellent care of Billie and made sure she was happy, comfortable and well looked after while I was traveling. Coming home to a happy dog and a tidy house gave me a great peace of mind. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend Jacquelin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner who grew up caring for a Shih Tzu–Poodle mix (Ava!) and now care for two dogs: a young Shetland Sheepdog (Maple!) and a senior Border Collie rescue (Skye!). I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, seniors, daily routines, medication reminders, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Also a proud golden doodle aunt - 70 lb, Ms. Ella!! This is my full-time role! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dogs. I’m used to structured schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs and routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. We have a fenced in yard, lots of room to run, and have crate trained before! I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks, and maintain clean, calm environments. Whether in my home or yours, I respect your space and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times.
“Kiana did a great job with our dog. We have a reactive dog that needs time to get used to strangers. Kiana was super calm with her and won her over quickly. She was also very communicative with updates. We would absolutely have her back again to take care of our dog.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life- i’ve lived with large and small dogs & truly love them all! im a full time registered nurse who would love some fresh air and doggie play time on my off days. I would love to be flexible to suit you and your pet’s needs best. My husband also occasionally assists with some of the care as well depending on our schedule. can’t wait to meet your furry friends☺️ Only working three days a week, I have a lot of free time to spend with pets. I love a long, scenic walk, or even just quality time with pets of any kind. I care for pets with love, gentleness, and lots of petting! I can stop by for some play time in your home, play fetch, or walk them around to get some energy out.
“Amy was wonderful! She took time to get to know us with a walking meet and greet. She was timely in her communication sending photos of our fur babies. She was very prompt with text messages and updates. She stayed in our home and left everything clean and tidy. I will definitely use her again!”
“I came home to a happy and healthy doggo, she updated with pics as needed and responded very quickly to any texts. Left the apartment spotless and even had everything already cleaned in the wash before leaving. Will definitely be trusting Alicia with my dog again!”
“We can’t recommend Skylar enough! She took such incredible care of our boy, Doug, while we were away and made it so easy for us to truly enjoy our trip knowing he was in the best hands. She was always on time, incredibly professional and responsible, and kept us updated throughout each day with thoughtful messages and lots of pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind. She even stayed later than planned when our flights were delayed, which turned a stressful travel day into something we didn’t have to worry about because we knew Doug was so well cared for. When we got home, the house was spotless, there were fresh flowers waiting for us, and Doug was one happy pup. She truly went above and beyond in every way! Five stars all around - we’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Jenny is a lifesaver and fantastic dog watcher. Not only did I have to leave early for a trip, she was able to come a whole day early! She sends at least 2 updates a day with pictures and my dog LOVES her. She’s watched Rupert twice now and I just mentioned her name and he gets excited. She’s very clean and always has my house freshly spruced when I come home, which is so nice to come home to after a long work trip. I 10/10 recommend Jenny. She’s our new doggy nanny when in Charleston!”
“Devon was amazing with our fur babies, Susan and Daisy! She kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were well loved and cared for the entire time. We came home to two very happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Folly Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Folly Beach on Rover is $88.76 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,596 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Folly Beach. 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 Folly Beach 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 Folly Beach 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 Folly Beach 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Folly Beach. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
