“First time using Rover and Karyna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how the dogs were doing. She sent photos and the communication was great. She did an excellent job looking after both the dogs and the house. I will definitely use her again.”
“Karleen was fabulous! Our anxious Goldendoodle seemed content while we were away and when we returned home. Karleen sent us photos every day and told us how our girl was doing, so we could feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. The house was spotless when we returned home. I highly recommend Karleen!”
“Jaelyn did a GREAT job with my two anxious dogs! She kept them for a week and I felt confident in her the entire time! She kept me updated and sent pictures! I came home to a clean home and two happy dogs!! She was amazing and so sweet! She is very responsive and so sweet! She will be my go to person when I need care for my babies! Thank you so much Jaelyn!!”
About: I’ve been a dog/animal lover my whole life. I recently moved to Tega Cay last summer and have the free time to walk, play, or stay with your dogs. I am experienced and happy to take care of any breed/age of dog. Puppies, active dogs, senior dogs, & disabled dogs are all welcome and will be treated with love and care! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available throughout the week days & nights, as well as weekends. I will make sure your dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. My intentions are to leave you at ease by following all of your instructions carefully!
“Mary was so incredible! Our dog is very shy with people when they first meet and the second Mary walked in, her calming presence comforted Pepper to the point she was sprawled out asking for pets. Mary was so nice, responding so quick, and put up with my wife and I on our wedding weekend. She sent updates, pictures, and was very adaptable. Thank you so much Mary!”
“We have two 9 year old dogs. Grace house sat and took care of Hunter and Hugo for 6 days. We set up the house with type written notes to ensure she was comfortable in our home. Grace was very communicative and sent pictures every day. We did talk a couple times to ensure she was comfortable and to see if there were any questions outside of our regular texts. Grace washed her bath towels and vacuumed the house so it was nice and clean when we got home. This was not requested. She took it upon herself. This was our first time using Rover and we are extremely pleased. We do look forward to being able to have Grace sit for us again!”
“John and Diane are very caring people, followed all our instructions and made our anxious and shy dog that was hiding at first feel like home. We will for sure ask them again for our next trips!”
“First time using a pet sitter and Zach and Nicole were awesome. I knew that my Meowser and Murray were in great hands. I will absolutely use them again and thankful for the peace of mind I had during my trip!”
“I was very happy to find India , she is a true dog lover and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that she was there giving the best care to our pets. She provided us with daily updates on their activities and the most adorable pictures! India did a fantastic job!! Our pets were happy and healthy when we returned home. India left us a very kind thank you note with photos of our dogs and dog treats , which we greatly appreciated!! Highly recommend her services!!”
“We were very nervous to leave our ten week old puppy for the night, but Walker did such a great job with him! She took him out to potty frequently, played with him, and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. We will undoubtedly be using Walker’s services in the future!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Bret. Caring for a senior dog with arthritis is not easy—especially one who needs help getting up, requires multiple medications, and extra attention throughout the day He made sure all medications were given on time and was very attentive to our dog’s comfort and mobility needs. What really stood out was the consistent communication. We received regular updates and pictures, which had been a challenge for us with previous sitters, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend Bret to anyone, especially if you have a pet that needs extra care and attention.”
“Julia was amazing with Barker! She was really quick to respond to our request, she communicated clearly and was very punctual. She sent updates regularly during her stay in our home which gave me so much peace of mind, she took care of Barker following all our detailed instructions and we came back to a very happy pup. I’ll definitely work with her again!”
“What a great experience with Madison. From the start, communication was clear and reliable, and it was obvious that Jake was well taken care of while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone else, but this experience made it stress free!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter to contact Madison. 👍👍👍👍👍”
“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 :)”
“Dai Yah, was prompt with her response when we urgently needed a last minute same-day booking request in order to go out to an activity and then dinner with family. Were extremely mindful and careful when looking over sitters profiles and this is the 4th time we have booked a house sitting request via Rover app and it was a pleasure to work with DaI Yah. If you’re interested in booking a sitter that has such a pleasant vibe like super chill and easy to follow care instructions for my little 5lb Shih-Poo then schedule with DaI Yah, we will be booking again many more times for DaI Yah, I already mentioned to her that were interested in a repeat sitter so Blaze has a pleasant experience each time we need house sitting care. Dai Yah, and I spoke with each other college and family and goals so it was a great having the brief conversation to try to build that sitter-pet parent connection.”
“Justin was great as always! Took care of our fur babies and even watered my garden and took the trash cart to the street for us while we were away! Definitely recommend!”
“Lauren was fantastic!!!! She sent me pictures and kept my dogs happy! I think that I even came back to a cleaner home than when I left!! She is very knowledgeable about dogs so I felt very comfortable with them in her care! I would highly recommend using her, as I will myself again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Mill is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Mill
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!
Caylee was amazing. She was very sweet and took great care of my pup. Showed up on time and great communication. Always sent pictures. Kept my dog great company while I was away from my trip. I will highly recommend her for any one needing a dog sitter. I will be reaching out to her any time I can’t take my dog with me. She is first on the list now. You can trust her with your pets.
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).
We wish we could leave more than 5 stars! Brittany fulfilled a last-minute, long-term house/dog sitting job for us (28 days!) while we were traveling out of the country and she did such an amazing job. Brittany is a caretaker and dog lover at heart and we were so comfortable to have her stay in our home with our two dogs (a brown lab and a border collie). When we got home our pups were happy and healthy (and probably a little disappointed it wasn’t her coming in the door haha), and our home was immaculately clean. Brittany was very communicative while we were away and took care of everything we asked of her. She clearly loved on our dogs while we were gone and we couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care she took of both the dogs and the house. We know exactly who to call the next time we need a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Mill on Rover is $42.8 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 2,856 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Mill. 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 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.
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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
