About: I’ve never had a pet of my own but intention, agility, compassion and fun is the heart I lead with animals as a whole. I love meeting new fur friends. I volunteer with a pet adoption program Wednesday’s & Friday’s at Pet smart. I have church Sunday morning’s until 1pm. Every other day of my week is pretty open until I am reemployed. I am actively trying to become a professional groomer. I’m working on being CPR/First Aid for cats and dogs. I’m not stranger to family and neighborhood pets and my hands on training with pets is continuous. I plan to always give an update on the areas I grow in. I’ve only ever nested chickens in my home. I’ve never had a pet, cat or dog, but my home remains clean and well maintained. Very air sufficient as well. There is no negligence in my home. Whenever I’ve pet sat for family, I follow through with the instructions and notes given to me to treat their pets needs. Frequent updates are always made. The home is always how they left it if not better and the fur baby is well taken cared of.
“Claire has been a lifesaver for our family and her expertise with all our animals has been priceless. We have a total of 5 pets both cats and dogs. They immediately love her and treat her as if they have known her for years. She has performed house sitting for us for extended periods of time on long trips and our home and pets have been so well taken care of we can’t thank her enough. We do not have to worry when gone for long periods of time. She is awesome!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve looked after pets for friends and family treating each one like my own. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, I make sure every animal gets the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, loving environment with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and given lots of love while you’re away. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the time and attention they deserve. While I work Monday–Thursday from 8–5, I’m available before and after work for walks, feedings, and quality time. I have full availability on weekends, so I can dedicate extra time for play, longer walks, and overnight care.

I do prefer the Lexington/West Columbia or the St. Matthews/Orangeburg areas for my services. Please message me before booking! Im available to care for pets during the week after 5pm. I am also available to care on weekends when you are away. Pet sitting is something i have always loved! My dogs are set on a routine. We feed them once a day and that typically is in the mornings. My youngest dog needs extra attention so she gets play time and lots of love. Our cats are also set on routine. The cats get food in the morning and right before bed time. I will stick to your pets routine as well!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with both younger and older pets. This past summer, I cared for two dogs and two cats for a week, handling feeding, walks, and daily routines. I also helped train my two puppies in 2024, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and basic training. In addition, I’ve helped care for my grandparents’ older dog, so I understand the patience and attention senior pets need. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My boyfriend and I moved to Charleston this summer! He has an internship from 10-6:30 during the week, and my internship is from home. I also have a part time job, but I will be home during the week a lot. We also are home pretty much every evening. We both love dogs! I have two dogs back home and both have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. Our apartment area has a really nice spot to walk dogs. I always prioritize safety and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for whether I’m in your home, they’re in mine or I’m checking in on them.

About: I've had animals all my life. I've taken care of everything from dogs and cats to lizards and guinea pigs. My dogs are well trained, I have a 2 year old German Shepard and a 9 month old cat currently. They have had plenty of exposure with other animals. I love to interact with new animals and they will be under the best care when with me. I will strive to give your loved ones the attention they need. Im currently working part-time time with a lot of freedom in my scheduling. Pet sitting gets me out of the house and it is mutually rewarding to spend my time caring for animals. My 3 year old German Shepard and 1 yr old cat offer a fun friend to play with. Plenty of toys and treats available. House is big enough to divide spaces if breaks are needed. Schedules are put in place as to ease transitions from one home to the other.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs.

There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Motte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 410 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Motte. 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 Motte 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 Motte 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 Motte 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.
