“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”
“Christine was so nice to come to my house last minute early in the morning when my boyfriend had to go to work suddenly and couldn’t watch my dog which my doodle while I was on vacation for my birthday. She was patient with him provided fast response. I’ll forever use her services”
“Crystal watched my dog for a couple days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent me updates. She followed all my instructions as my dog is older and has some special needs. I had a flight delay and she even offered to come back to take him out. I can tell she loves animals. I would book her again.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our girls! She was respectful and clean in our home. She was very communicative and sent plenty of updates and pictures! Will totally be a repeat customer!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for four years now, I began in my own neighborhood, and then ventured out to helping others in need of animal care. I love it and I am extremely flexible when it comes to caring for your pets! I currently work very early mornings at my job, which leads me to be out around noon. I am available everyday, and love snuggling, playing, and walks with any furry friend! I care for your pets in the way that best suits your needs. I typically will cater differently to everyone, some animals are older and don’t want to go on walks, some need to burn energy all day long! It’s completely up to you how your animal is cared for.
“Bella was amazing! We will definitely be recommending her to friends and family with pet sitting needs. She was great with communication and sent multiple pictures and updates daily. We will be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Julie was amazing! This was the very first time we've ever had a dog sitter, and she made sure our trip was worry-free! Our pups are not super friendly right off the bat, which was our greatest concern, but Julie handled it like the expert she is. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I love all my babies so much, and I’d love to care for your pets as well! This is my full time job so I’m available all the time honestly. I will do my best to work around you and your pets’ needs! I try keep my calendar updated, but I’m pretty flexible as well! I can make changes and come more/less than you originally thought you may need. I’m a very loving owner who is always cuddling up with animals! I’ve always had dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with whatever they’re comfortable with.
“Mehlayne did a wonderful job of caring for our sweet old Roxy. Our pup is 16 years old, has medical needs such as breathing treatments and medication administration and she even took Roxy to the Vet 4 times for routine fluid administration. While we are away for our 13 day vacation to Alaska, she sent daily pictures of our sweet little girl and messages regarding her day. Considering that Roxy had never been apart from us for more than 3 days, we were very pleased when we returned and she was in excellent health and eating very well, which could be a challenge at times. I could tell from the beginning that they were a good fit, especially since Melanie has a very elderly dog herself. We will be happy to book her again if needed and recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to care for their pup.”
“Lee was awesome! He went above and beyond, and did such a great job. He communicated well, sent lots of pictures and videos, and my pups loved him. I highly recommend him, and would absolutely use him again!”
“Emma was amazing! She communicated the whole time and sent lots of photos. We could really tell that Dallas and Maggie were very loved and had lots of fun. Will definitely book again :)”
“Genesis was fantastic. We needed a dog sitter last minute and she was quick to respond. Our pups were well taken care of and she did a great job communicating to us on how things were going while we were gone! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“She helped us out with a last minute house sitting request - was on time, communicated well with text and pictures, and our Coda took to her instantly which made us very happy. Will definitely hire Karlie again in the future!”
About: I’ve always had at least one pet within my household; I currently two shihtzu’s, one chihuahua x pug mix, and one great dane, as well as a siamese cat and ball python snake! I love caring for my pets, and I’d love to help you guys feel at ease that your pet is safe and happy while you’re out and about! I’m finishing up my Senior year of high school, and I only have two class blocks, so I’m unable to help out in the mornings on school days. Additionally, I do have a scheduled job, so based off of what time I’d need to be at work on what given day would determine factors too - just be sure to ask me in advance! Dogs: I make sure they have good healthy food, eat in the morning and eat at night , for my smaller dogs i feed them in the afternoon as well. Let them out multiple times a day, routinely morning and night. Cats: Feed every morning and night, let her go outside for the afternoon to get some outside time, and make sure she’s back by dark to sleep in the house.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fountain Inn is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Inn
Shannon is an A+ dog and house sitter. She visited our home and pups twice before the planned stay. Our 4-legged kids are usually fairly indifferent to human visitors, but even our deaf, wary mutt immediately warmed up to her, and quickly convinced her to throw a ball for him! Shannon was communicative during our time away, and provided pics of the pups. They always looked relaxed and content, and were not at all anxious when we returned home. Do not hesitate to have Shannon care for your home and pups...
Julie is an exceptional pet sitter! I normally have family but recently was not able to do that. I was nervous to leave her,but felt good when I met Julie. She spent time with me to meet Georgia and understand her schedule / needs prior to our trip. Her experience, demeanor and knowledge gave me confidence. I knew she’d be great for our girl. Julie blew us away with the detailed updates, pics and the fact she genuinely enjoyed caring for her. It gave our family such peace to know she was cared for so well. Highly recommend Julie!! She’s the BEST!
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!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fountain Inn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fountain Inn on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,010 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fountain Inn. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
