“Shannon is fantastic! The meet and greet was exceptional and her response to a last minute booking was very quick. She is so attentive to our dog’s needs related to medication (scheduled every 6 hours, 3 times a day and a fourth dose of meds at bedtime.) She communicated during the stay with pictures and texts. If I could give her a million stars I would. I HIGHLY recommend her to care for your pet.”
“Crystal was great! She followed all instructions and provided updates and pictures of our 3 fur babies regularly. It’s nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing your pets are being cared for by a professional.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since I was little! Letting them out to use the bathroom, playing with them, and feeding them. I can also walk dogs around neighborhoods. I am currently looking for more work, so I am available whenever families need help, walking, feeding, or giving their pets some attention like playing. I will make sure that families pets are comfortable with me once I walk into their home and stay with them as long as needed.
“Jerry is an excellent dog sitter and in my own house. I couldn't have picked a better person for Roux. I received pictures of Roux everyday and she looked so happy. I would like to send Jerry a hardy Thank you”
“Lee took excellent care of our pets and home for a week! We have an elderly lab, older cat, young cat, and a bearded dragon. His calm and caring presence helped our pets feel at ease in our absence. The communication was consistent and timely. We definitely would select him again for housesitting and pet care! He even took our trash down on trash day and vacuumed without being asked to do it.”
“Jessie was amazing. She took such great care of all 3 of our dogs and sent updates/pictures every time she went over to care for our dogs. We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats and 2 dogs! I've had the cats since they were 3 months old and are now 1 year old! Both dogs are still young and both are socialized so they know and understand boundaries and are pet friendly. If you have any questions you are free to reach out anytime! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, play and/or work on any training with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I have tie outs so I'll watch to make sure they don't get tangled, play with them, or just keep them company if they just wanna sit. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or house sitting. I will always let you know what's going on and see if we can make an arrangement. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies to senior. I have worked with dogs that have had trauma in the past and special needs. My goal is simple, to make your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family member, so I focus on reliability, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building consistent routines around their care. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide your fur babies with the attention, exercise, companionship, and reliability they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I enjoy making pet care a meaningful part of my day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your fur babies both in my home and in my clients’ homes. In my home, they are treated like part of the family and receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I offer boarding in a home with a secure fenced in yard, which gives dogs a safe space for exercise, outdoor time, and play. I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help parents feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When caring for them in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping your fur baby comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring they receive dependable, attentive care.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I am a previous foster parent for Oconee Humane Society and have taken care of all ages of dogs. As a foster parent, I took care of dogs with different behavioral issues, therefore, I am experienced with reactive dogs. I work full-time Monday–Friday with flexible hours, so my schedule can vary from day to day. I’m available for pet care before and after work, as well as during flexible portions of my workday. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, walks, and care. I currently live in a very spacious town home that includes a dog park. I also have access to numerous walking trails in my area.
About: I have experience in doggy daycare and dog sitting. I worked in a doggy daycare called River Dog Inn when I was 18, in 2022. I would watch and take care of the small dog group typically, but would have no problem watching the big and medium dog groups, as well. I would clean their crates, take them outside to play and do their business, and would take dogs in and out from the yard when it is time to go back in or time for pick-up. I also have my own dog, MuShu, who is a Lhasa Apso, and I have had her for almost 8 years! I am currently unemployed so I will have more free time to pet sit, walk dogs, or pet sit overnight. I will be able to care for pets any day in the week, except for Fridays. Weekends can be worked around, I may not always be able to do weekends. Overall, my schedule is pretty freed up, currently. I can care for pets in the client’s home! I listen to the pet owner’s needs for the pet, because every pet is different. I take them out as much as needed and feed them twice a day, depending on the pet. I pet them and play with them and can play fetch with them outside. I want your pet to feel as taken care for and loved as possible!
“Anna did an excellent job taking care of my two large high maintenance, dog-reactive dogs. She tidied up after herself, provided frequent check ins and photos, and asked a lot of questions up front to make sure she was prepared to meet their complicated needs. Absolutely will book Anna again.”
“Marc was so kind and helpful caring for our pets. Navigated some complications at the start very well. Our cat and Dog loved him! He was also so helpful with some small tasks around the house while we were gone. We will definitely be using him again for our pet and house sitting needs!”
About: I have lived in the Carolina for 10+ years. Originally from Chicago, I grew up on the west coast of Florida. I have a passion for arts, photography and design. My true joy is time spent with animals. I have been around animals all my life and a huge animal lover. Friends and family have always allowed me into their homes to take care of their pets while away. I am available Thursday thru Sunday to visit, walk, sit, feed, and/or play with your all fur babies. I am a morning person, up early ready to motivate with activities. I have only cared for pet in the client's homes. I am willing to stay overnight at the home if the client really needs that service.

We’re so grateful we found Shannon! She watched our two senior dogs for 5 days in our home and took great care of our dogs and our home. She is kind, professional, and dependable. Our anxious dog warmed up to her quickly. She sent daily texts and photos. Don’t hesitate to book her pet care services!
Jenna went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy and taken care of while we were away! She's great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures to keep us updated! We absolutely loved having her watch our fur babies, and would 100% rebook with her for future travels!! Thank you Jenna!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fountain Inn is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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.
As of October 2026, there are 980 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain Inn. 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 Fountain Inn 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 Fountain Inn 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 Fountain Inn 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.
