“Sarah is a great communicator! Pictures and messages every day. Our dog has severe anxiety and takes meds 4 times a day. Sarah was attentive to all of Dahlia’s needs. I cannot adequately express in words how grateful I am for Sarah and her care for our dog.”
About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! These 4-6 hour shifts are either 10am-3pm or 3pm-9pm! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated on my pup, she was respectful of our home and she even left us flowers and did the laundry!!! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you so much!”
“Haylee is responsive and nice! She sent us pictures when she arrived and took good care in my pet! She gave the medicine as directed and left notes about my pets in the past day( including how he’s been eating and taking medication). Haylee spent a night over to take care my pet and kept the house very clean, too!”
“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”
“Daniela was amazing to have stay in our home and care for our 4 fur-babies while we were away. She was attentive, communicative, and demonstrated great compassion for our animals. I would absolutely recommend Daniela for your pet/house-sitting needs!”
“Michelle is amazing. She went above and beyond when she stayed at our house and watched the cats. We were able to relax on our vacation because she was so good about communicating and sending pictures of the cats. The house was spotless when we came home and she even watered the grass for us. Will definitely be using again!!!!”
“Crystal was amazing with Harley. She provided daily updates with photos and many with videos. She's very attentive... checked the mail, noticed an active hornets nest at the back of my complex and reported it to staff, and left my place nice and neat at the end of her stay... even washed the bedding! I will definitely be reaching out to Crystal again for pet/ house sitting, again. 10/10 Recommend 😊”
“Shannon is awesome! She cared for our pup for two weeks. Sent photos and updates. Our house was spotless when we returned. She makes being away a bit easier. Highly recommend.”
“Julie is wonderful- excellent, positive communication; and my pets all loved her! My dog is selective and tends toward anxious: she liked Julie right away. My cat who needs meds twice a day is famous for eluding most cat sitters who dare try to medicate her - she took her meds from Julie. And my escape artist cat who had (or course) Houdini'd his way out of the house right before we left for our trip, came back in the house in voluntarily for Julie! We will definitely be seeking Julie's services every time we need a great petsitter.”
About: I've taken care of furbabies for over 20 years now. Dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits. My neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to care for their furbaby family members by not only walking and feeding their family member, but boarding, washing and grooming, and lots of fun playtime. I've been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids for emergency needs. I'm knowledgeable in surgery recovery as well. I will care for, and love, your family member just as I do mine. They will be pampered and cherished! I am a homemaker, looking for a bit of extra money, and an enjoyable job. I have flexible hours to help anyone with their pets. I am responsible, courteous, punctual, and a very loving person, and cat owner. I love all animals, and would love to help you out. Ask me questions if you'd like to know more about me. Please consider me for your pet care needs! I am a very careful, and respectful person. I will adhere to any instructions for your pet. I have two available bedrooms that I can make available to your pet when needed during their stay. Crate trained pets are a plus, but not a must. I have been trained by a veterinarian to administer Sub Q fluids in case of an emergency. I've given them to ferrets, and cats of my own. I'm reliable, and always on time.
“I felt reassured going out of town leaving the dogs in Steffanie’s care. She checked in with me regularly, took great care of the dogs, and sent photos of them out and about each day.”
“Christopher was amazing. Took great care of the dogs and our home. Communication was great and was very flexible should our travel plans become delayed. Would 100% reach out again and recommend anyone else do the same.”
“Kim did a wonderful job with our babies. She was great with communication and sent lots of pics :) loved hearing from her. All our babies were happy and the house was in perfect condition join our return. Would definitely recommend and book Kim again! ♥️”
About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals. I know that dogs need their exercise and outdoor time, while cats might need a clean litter box and some interactive toy play. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I currently work morning and occasional afternoon shifts, typically from 5 AM–1 PM or 12 PM–5 PM. My schedule still allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care. Outside of my work hours, I am available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, companionship, and attention they need while you’re away. I strictly follow all security and care instructions to keep your pets and property safe. I am a highly responsible and communicative sitter. I'll send you frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you're away.
About: I am passionate for dogs, I find there loyalty and love that they give to us is amazing! I love children but never had any, so therefore doggies have always been my babies. I first got my first two chihuahuas about 28 years ago and haven’t been without a furry angel. I would't have any other way-doggies are smart and just amazingly fun. Certainly, they deserve the best possible love and care one can provide, and I love to care and give. That in itself, makes me joyful! I’m a self employed fine artist, so I’m fairly flexible. Other than the gym, appointments,etc, - normal errands. That is pretty much the current extent of my schedule. I travel from time to time, but not regularly.so I am at home a lot. I have a small harmless chihuahua ,”Lilly “, so it’s just her and me. I always am well aware of where the doggies are, inside and outside. They always have water and food if necessary, according to the client’s wishes. That, is primary for me, making certain I am abiding by the client’s needs and requests, while simply using common sense. I’m good at finding a resolution to any situation, if there was one, and being prepared ahead of time. Even just for the simple things. I am an Airforce veteran and just love doing good things for others. For I know, for my Lilly, I make sure if she can’t travel with me, she goes to a “pet resort” or I also use Rover. I have a decent size yard with room to play and I don’t mind if they want to lay on the couch or bed, however they feel comfortable and happy. I also know that doggies can get emotional when their parents drop them off. Lilly gets all kinds of emotions when I have to leave her. These precious 4-leggers are smart too!
“Luke was amazing! He was very communicative and sent us photos daily. Came back to a pristine house and a happy healthy dog. We will definitely be using Luke again for future trips.”
About: At the height of my career, I have taken care of four rescue dogs all at once for an entire week straight! None of the dogs fought and they all felt comfortable around me. I am available to let dogs out all day and provide them with belly rubs and entertainment. I am currently unemployed and would like to take this up full time if possible. I have a cat at home, but he’s low maintenance and I am able to juggle that with dog-sitting. I can comfortably allow a cat and a small or medium dog into my apartment if they would prefer boarding. I am good to travel to sit more so, because I do not have a yard. But I do live in a dog-friendly complex.

Michelle did a fantastic job. She was a great communicator, sent lots of pictures of all the animals, and even took care of a cat death (the cat was old and started to not eat before we even left on vacation). I will definitely be booking her again for any future trips.
On a day as hectic as our wedding day, leaving your loved one with someone they don’t know can be worrisome. I’m here to say after the fact that Riley was amazing. If you happen to come across her profile, don’t hesitate to book her. She was caring and friendly to our furball. Sent pictures that made us smile throughout our big day. Thanks Riley and God bless you. 100/10
Erin is very sweet. Our pets warmed up to her quickly, they know a nice person when they meet one. She is very responsive to communication and sends pics. I leave a ton of info about pets and she was very accommodating to all my pet suggestions :) Feel fortunate to have connected with Erin!

FAQs for House Sitting - Golden Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Golden Grove on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 976 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golden Grove. 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 Golden Grove 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 Golden Grove 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 Golden Grove 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.

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.
