“Michael is always our go to friend for watching Monty in our house! If you are looking for in home care of your furry friends, he is simply the best. When we come home, it’s like we never left!”
“Michael was INCREDIBLE with our lab Harley. He stayed at our home for 4 days/3 nights and kept everything super clean, sent me the most adorable updates (I didn’t even have to ask him!), and made my first long weekend away from my best buddy a breeze. I could truly relax and not worry about a thing, and that is priceless. I will absolutely be contacting Michael for all future pet sitting needs :)”
“Bret watched our 3 dogs for over a week and did a wonderful job with them. They all have very different personalities and needs, and he gave each exactly what they needed. He sent us updates and pictures every day. He left the house looking great. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my fur babies.”
“Christina was amazing and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came down before the job to meet us and the pets. We immediately felt comfortable with her and our dogs both loved her. She communicated with us while we were away and was even kind enough to send pet updates and pictures. Our home was well respected and exactly as we had left it. I’d highly recommend Christina as a house and pet sitter”
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”
“Kellie watched our two 4-legged sons, for a week, while we were out of the country on our wedding/honeymoon in Jamaica. She stayed at our house and spoiled our pups just as if they were her own. She was very responsive and sent lots of daily photos. This is the first time we have used her services, and it will definitely not be the last! She did an awesome job and even left us a little welcome home gift! We highly recommend her services!”
“Ann did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups while we were away! One of them is very anxious so I was nervous to leave them. She made me feel comfortable and sent lots of updates!”
“Morgan was amazing house sitting for our doggy and kitty! They both seemed very happy when we got home and our house was left nice and tidy also! I would 100% recommend her for any type of service and she will be the first on my list should we ever need sitting again!”

About: Hi! I’m Alyssa, I grew up around all kinds of animals and it’s made me a reliable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with them. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available anytime after 1 PM everyday of the week for walks or drop-ins! I also work part-time throughout the week, but I still have a lot of free time and can often fit in pet care depending on the timing. Because I keep my schedule fairly open, I’m able to focus on making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home due to the animals that already live here and the limited space. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting where they are most comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things clean, and will always keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy.
“Anna is a wonderful sitter! She’s watched my English Bulldog and my GSD mix on two occasions in my home foe several days at a time. My girls love her because she is very laid back yet very attentive to their needs I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to you.”
About: I am a former teacher who left the profession. I am building my pet sitting business one sweet creature at a time. I have had my own dog that had to be put down at 8 for medical reasons and it was the worst day of my life. I have sat small and large dogs, cats, and have helped a friend with chickens. I am by no means a chicken expert though. I take pride in what I do. I also have my clearances from teaching, until they expire. I an currently a full time sitter, so I book sits ahead of time. I'm also available for check ins and walking at times as well. I want your pets to not miss a step just because you are not there. We'll do their routines and I would absolutely treat your pet and home with the respect as if they were my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Mill
Lauren was nothing short of fantastic. She went above and beyond caring for our 11 year old bestie, who panics during thunderstorms. She made sure she was not overbooked and available if and when the storm hit, and gave him the love and reassurance he needed to get him through. She truly spoiled him rotten all weekend! Lauren was also very communicative and reachable while we were away. She reached out about a patio pot that tipped over in the storm, taking it upon herself to clean up the mess without hesitation. Our house was spotless upon our return! She was truly the best house guest!
Alex was absolutely amazing with our Maltipoo, Charlie! We were away in the South of France for 12 days, and she gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious Charlie was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. When we got home, Charlie was his happy, playful self, and our house was spotless. It honestly felt like walking into our own home after a relaxing vacation instead of coming home to a mess. That level of care and thoughtfulness means so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will absolutely book with Alex again!
Grace was amazing! Our chiweenie Emily hurt her leg while we were away and Grace kept us up to date on how she was doing and she did everything she could to make Emily comfortable. The house looked great, the plants were well taken care of and the mail was picked up. I would definitely recommend Grace and will certainly use her again. Emily is doing fine!
Absolutely fantastic. Needed an emergency last minute sit and Alexis was so accommodating. Alexis took amazing care of my 3 difficult puppers, providing great communication the whole time and even making sure some of my dogs idiosyncrasies were normal (they were but so wonderful to have that level of detail in their care).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Mill is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Fort Mill 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 Fort Mill 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fort Mill 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.
