“Caroline was absolutely fantastic. She stayed at our home and took care of our dog with the kind of attention and calm confidence that immediately puts you at ease. Communication was perfect the entire time. She sent thoughtful updates, photos, and made sure I always knew how things were going. I came home to a happy dog, a clean house, and zero stress. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah is awesome. Sent pictures, texted regularly. And, left my house immaculate. Completely trustworthy … and I think my dogs like her better than me!! Lol! PERFECT!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with years of pet sitting experience! I grew up with 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a parrot, and I’ve cared for animals of all sizes from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and care. I also have years of ongoing experience with birds! I have a conure of my own and have cared for other birds, so I understand their unique personalities and care needs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur or feathered baby! I’m currently finishing school online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your baby, so I’m happy to provide references and frequent updates to give you peace of mind. I am always willing to accommodate to each pet’s routine, needs, and home environment, and I’m happy to accommodate any preferences or instructions that help you and your pet feel comfortable.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have cared for a wide variety of pets with different needs. This includes amputees and FIV cats as well. I work fully remote which allows me the flexibility to house and pet sit pretty much any time and any day of the week! I recently moved back to Charleston and I’m looking to grow my connections! I’ve lived with cats and dogs most of my life, but do not have any pets of my own at this time. I would prefer to let your pet stay at your home where they are most comfortable, and travel as needed, but can accommodate accordingly.
“Bryan took such good care of my Sunshine. Kept me updated often and cared for her special needs after surgery with medication & care. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you”
“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!”
“Emily was wonderful. She stayed at our home over a weekend in June and took care of our lovely pup. Charli is almost 12 and her age required some medications and special food instructions, which Emily followed and executed perfectly. She left our home without a trace and if it weren't for our relaxed and happy puppy-dog, we would have never known Emily was here. I would absolutely recommend her and will gladly book her again. Thank you, Emily!”
“We love working with Amy! She takes such good care of our Murphy when we go on vacation. She’s a super professional dog sitter and house sitter - anyone would be lucky to work with her. Thank you again Amy!!”
About: Would be happy to care for your pets! Experienced with cats. I've had them my entire life and have sat for friends, neighbors and coworkers. I leash trained the cat I have now and also have some experience administering meds to cats. I am happy to care for small/medium sized dogs as well but have never owned one. I may not be the best fit if your dog requires more experience. I typically work from home and my schedule is flexible. I’m available between 9am and 10pm. Let me know if your pet requires care outside of these hours and I’ll see what I can do. I will follow all of the instructions that you provide to properly care for your fur baby. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Kelly was amazing with Chessie! She was super communicative throughout the stay, sent updates and photos, and clearly took great care of her. I could tell Chessie was happy and comfortable. She even treated her to a pup cup which was such a sweet touch 🥹 Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Bre was AMAZING! She was our first experience with Rover while we went out of the country and we’ll definitely be rebooking her for any next trips. We have 6 pets in total and I could not have asked for anyone to care for all of them and our home better than she did.”
About: I’m a registered nurse with a lifelong love for dogs, which means safety, reliability, and attention to detail are always my top priorities. I had my own dog for 14 years, so I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health, and providing extra patience and comfort. Having moved here from Philly, I truly miss having a dog of my own, so I treat every pet I care for like family. I’m calm, observant, and dependable, and I’m especially comfortable with routines, special instructions, and pets who need a little extra care or reassurance. Whether it’s walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off where I’m completely available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care.I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so your pet will always get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is in good hands. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. As a nurse, I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and trained to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I carefully follow all routines and instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, and house rules. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. In my home, pets are supervised, never left unattended for long periods, and kept in a secure, comfortable setting. I use leashes at all times outdoors unless otherwise instructed and avoid dog parks unless explicitly approved. I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
About: Hi! I’m Alicia! 🐾 I’ve lived in Charleston most of my life and have been pet sitting, nannying, and house sitting since I was a teenager. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have always enjoyed caring for pets and homes as a little side hustle! I’d love the opportunity to love on your fur babies, keep them happy and cared for, and make sure your home is in good hands while you’re away. 🐶🐱🏡 If you’re looking for a reliable, caring pet or house sitter, feel free to HMU! 🤍 I currently work full time from 8:30am-5:30pm and I get an hr lunch break. I really enjoy going on walks/runs so I would def take your dog on walks in the morning and after work if they like that! And of course I would also let them out on my lunch break. 1. I make sure that your preferences around feedings. 2. I love to make sure the at your puppies get plenty of attention, playtime, and outside time. If they are older I love to make sure that they are getting attention and love too even if they can’t move around as well 💕
“Shannon was great and very accommodating. Our travel times and dates kept changing and she just rolled with it. My two dogs had a great time… she sent plenty of pictures!! Will use again and highly recommend!!”
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!
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.
About: I have had my own pets for as long as I remember and unfortunately they still live at my childhood home. I cared for my dog and cat growing up, but unfortunately do not have any pets of my own, yet! I love to go on walks and would be the perfect buddy for any dog! I am also very organized! I am a teacher full time, and get home early during the week. I also am able to be free on weekends! I live an active life so I like to stay busy, and having a furry friend is a nice addition! I have a dog park where I live and a great walking trail. I have a lot of indoor space for a pet to be happy!

The average cost of House Sitting in Folly Beach is $94 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $128 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
