“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 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.
“Sarah was amazing with our lab while we traveled! She was super reliable, professional and communication was excellent. Most importantly, we knew our boy was being loved on and we didn’t have to worry about him. I would absolutely book Sarah again and 100% recommend her!”
“Allysa did a wonderful job with our senior girl! She was responsible, caring, attentive, proactive and communicative. She did an all around amazing job! I would not hesitate to have her stay again. Thank you, Allysa!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs from all backgrounds and ages. I have learned to pick up cues from each individual. I have taken care of elderly dogs, administered medication and cleaned up after accidents. I have also done mini training sessions with puppies and established healthy boundaries. I work part time, but love to prioritize pet care as it’s such a love of mine. Consistency in visits works best, but I’m happy to pop in and hang out with your furry children when needed! I’m very respectful of dogs spaces and won’t bother them when they’re trying to relax that goes for in my home or in yours occasionally I will give treats, but not without parents consent
About: I’ve had family dogs almost my entire life. When my latest girl, Jaina, passed after 14 years together, I shifted to pet sitting rather than full-time ownership. My friends, neighbors and roommates can always rely on me to watch their pups whenever they have work or travel plans! I currently live with a beautiful Doberman and am his primary care giver when my roommate travels for business. Our favorite activity is an adventure to Folly Beach where we walk, look at the ocean, and visit the dog friendly restaurants for his doggie-menu treats & pup cups. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber Driver that allows riders to bring their animals with them on trips. I attend church in downtown Charleston every Sunday so my Sundays are reserved for me. For extended (week+), I am willing to have a discussion to fulfill needs on that day. I also work as a freelance/contract bartender. While I have no set schedule, days that I accept those gigs will likely result in an 8-10 hours stretch where I would be away from sitting. Give me a shout and I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work part time as a bartender and with special events but on a contract/freelance basis. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber driver with an active setting that allows riders to travel with their animals. I attend church on Sundays so I tend to leave that day free for myself. I make my own schedule which allows for a lot of flexibility. I care for my roommate’s Doberman when he travels for business. We go on walks, to the park, the beach and play in the backyard. I give him his meds twice a day. His water is in a fountain bowl and his food dispenser on a timer. I refill as needed. He is an Alpha so I won’t be offering to watch other animals in my home. But I look forward to traveling to you!
“Janessy took great care of our three dogs while we were out of the country. She went above and beyond on several instances handling issues that came up. Thank you Janessy for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Lena was so great! I was traveling with my dachshund Frankie and staying in an Airbnb and needed someone to watch Frankie while we were out during the day and at dinner. Lena was super flexible and made herself available and Frankie loved napping on her lap and chewing her bone next to her. I could tell Frankie felt safe and right at home with Lena. It put me at ease and made our travels easy as could be.”
“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 !”
“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!”
“Reagan was great! She sent plenty of photos and proivided updates on how everyone was doing. Very respectful of the house. When we got back, the animals were happy to see us, but did not act like they had been ignored, which is the best compliment I can give.”
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!).

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid and have always loved playing with them, walking them, and just loving on them! I’ve got a 3 year old corgi named Gus of my own and he loves to play and go on walks with other dogs. I’m a nurse at MUSC and my schedule differs every week, but I can be flexible when able! I walk my dog multiple times a day and we play in the dog park at my apartment as well as on the beach. They can play together or I can keep my dog completely separate from your pup! My apartment is very dog friendly and there is a big dog park in my complex for them to play. There’s also a smaller fenced in park in case they’re not very social. I’ve also got plenty of safe space around me for long walks with your pup!
About: I have been loving on dogs and cats whole life and taking care of them for the past ten years. I currently have two cats and had two dogs in a previous relationship so have plenty of experience with both animals. I work from home mostly and have flexibility to go on walks during the day. I also live centrally on James Island so quick access to Folly Beach, downtown, and Johns Island. I love waking up early to start the day productively so have no issue with early morning feedings or walks. I would care for clients pets in their home. My cats aren’t used to other animals and I don’t want to invade their space with random visitors.
“Kaeley was great with my pets - including my rescue dog who can be slow to warm up to people (but took to Kaeley right away). Came home to happy pets and a tidy house - can’t ask for more than that!”
About: I have a 6 year old dog and have fostered dozens of pups of all ages and breeds. Fostering has taught me how to adapt to new dogs with different needs and I have plenty of experience with young puppies. I work from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m very active and typically take my dog on long walks and adventures around town (beach, parks, walks). I have a very large fenced in yard that’s great for play time! I have an adult male dog that loves other dogs and is regularly exposed to new friends in the house because I foster. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in my house.

FAQs for House Sitting - Folly Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Folly Beach on Rover is $86.58 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,602 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.
