“Shannon is great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs (one with high anxiety) with her. Both dogs are large and high energy. She has a calming presence and clearly is comfortable around dogs. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”
“Liv arrived on time, communicated throughout the time she was with our pets and left the house clean. Our pets were healthy & happy upon our return. I'd recommend Liv to others that need pet care.”
“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’ve owned & cared for many dogs, cats, turtles, and other animals since age 7. Also, helped my grandparents on the farm since a young age so I have a way with all creatures, big and small! I am a Nurse by trade. Especially adapt to the particular physical emotional and medical needs of elder dogs. 🐶 I currently work part time so I do have plenty of extra time to spend spoiling and caring for my dog; and many others as well. I have a fenced off back yard at home for quick supervised outings; and pet friendly neighborhood for long walks! Of course, all pets are safely kept & supervised indoors otherwise.
“Carissa was excellent, made sure she met us as well As the dogs prior to her staying here with them . Professional , our dogs were well adjusted to her , she made sure their routine was not disrupted and we are very pleased ! To be honest we were skeptical about using ROVER but now - there will be no other way ! Great experience , Carissa left the home clean , our dogs were so content ….THANKS ROVER and Carissa .”
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”
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!
“Kim is very personable and easy to connect with. She remembered details about my dog’s care She also watched my house and informed me when my water feature stopped working. She loves dogs and it was clear that she loved mine. Pictures while I was away helped me cope with being away. The house and my dog were both in great shape when I returned after I was away for a week. She was very flexible with scheduling and even followed up to make sure that I didn’t need her to check back in — in case we had a flight delay. She will definitely be my first choice moving forward.”
“Riley is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have found her. We use her often, and every single time she takes such wonderful care of our dog, Mika. It’s clear how much Riley genuinely cares—Mika is always happy, comfortable, and well loved when we return. Her communication is great and she gives us total peace of mind knowing Mika is in the best hands. We couldn’t recommend Riley more highly and will continue to book her every time we need a sitter!”
“Caroline was perfect! She did an in home stay with Ava Riley. Ava has never been crated or boarded and feels most comfortable in her own home getting lots of love and snuggles. I can tell she spent lots of time with Ava, relaxing and making sure she was loved and comfortable. She gave daily updates with pics/video, had no issues, and I felt safe and comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my girl. Caroline definitely surpassed expectations and we can't wait to rebook her!”
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.
“Madison was truly amazing. Not only did she take such great care of our dog Piper, she also took great care of our house. She cleaned up after herself and went above and beyond. Her communication was great and she kept up updated with lots of pictures! Highly recommend and will be using again!”

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!

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.
