“Lauran is an absolute dream of a companion, house sitter, fur baby manager and lover, and just overall great human. Lauran was thoughtful, responsive and responsible in every way. From sharing pics of our Simon and Molly with us, to asking questions of us as needed, to her bubbly and positive personality, to her attention to detail, she will be our go to person every time we need someone who we trust to spend time at our home and with our pups. We came home to a house nice Ethan we left it a two dogs that were clearly well taken care of while we weee away. Thank you Lauran for being such a great Rover sitter! Thank you Lauran for giving us such peace found and comfort as we traveled.”
“Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kaitlyn! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she truly cares about animals and treats them like family. Shadow and Meeka immediately felt comfortable — which says a lot, because Meeka can be shy with new people. Throughout our trip Kaitlyn sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our senior dogs were getting attention, walks, and love just like if we were home. When we returned, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve used other sitters in the past, but no one compares to Kaitlyn! Reliable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate — everything you could ask for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and we’ve already booked with her again!”
“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”
“Julia was amazing, flexible, respectful and professional. I will definitely use her again. We need up only needing her for about 7 hours but originally planned on 3-4 days not due to her. I look forward to having her back. Recommend her.”
About: I am the biggest animal lover and I would agree that they love me just as much! I am a babysitter and I work as a substitute in the GCCS school system. (Requests outside of my radius may require a travel fee) I am a substitute teacher so with that I do not have to work every single day which gives me extra free time for pet care! I offer care for pets in a clients home by following all instructions and respecting my clients space, boundaries and pets. I understand how much fur babies mean!
“I am so glad Donai was in town and able to sit for Leo on such short notice. I had Donai sit before Rover and did an amazing job, Leo loves Donai and I was updated with pictures during the visits. I give 5 stars for sure! Highly recommended ❤️”
“Jessi was great. My dog really enjoyed her and her sweet dog. She took good care of my dog’s toenail that had been torn off. She made sure he wore his sock and washed his foot when necessary. One day they got sick and she got there quickly to take care of them, even though she was working.”
“Desiree is awesome! I greatly appreciate her being available last minute, working with my schedule for a meet and greet the day before, and taking amazing care of my 2 pups! The love and attention she showed them was exactly what I hoped for. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Sara was great as an in-home sitter. She was always responsive and provided updates on care. Sara gave the extra effort of exercising our dog daily despite the cold weather and snow. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her for care again!”
“Amber was amazing! This was the first time we left our 3 mini dachshunds with anyone other than a family member and it was a great experience. Amber made sure all of our pups were well cared for and she stayed with them 100% of the time. She is a great dog person and our pups took to her immediately! She sent pics of all the pups cuddling with her! We couldn’t have found a better pup sitter! Already scheduled her for our next vacation!”
About: I’m a graduate of Indiana University and just moved back to this area after living in Atlanta for the past 4 years! I work from home full time I will be able to accommodate any time of routine your pet has ! I’m a huge dog lover and I have cared for my dog Rosie for years, she is 14 years old and her breed is chihuahua. I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past as well as sitting for Rover for 4 years now. I also love long walks so the more walks I can take your pup on the better! My complex also has a ton of green space and walking paths that your pup can enjoy. I will always treat your babies as if they were mine. As a dog owner myself, your pup will get the same devotion and attention that I give to my own girl. I can adapt to your dogs routine! I have plenty of green space and paved walking paths for your pup to enjoy. I am also open to taking your pup to your favorite local park if that is something you’re comfortable with.
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my puppy, (because I’m a psycho dog mom) but Jonah gave me a complete totally peace of mind. He was extremely attentive to Snowy’s diet and schedule. I received daily, funny pictures and stories that made me feel connected right away. Jonah is truly professional, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. 10/10! If you ever need a dog sitter I recommend him tremendously, he’s literally the best!!”
“If I could give Nicole 10 stars I would! She has prompt and thorough communication and goes above and beyond. My pups had a great afternoon and evening in Nicole’s care! We will definitely use her again and again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life—ever since I was a toddler, there was always a dog or cat by my side. I have a special soft spot for dogs and cats, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry family members while they’re away. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, including administering medication with patience and care. I work full time but on weekends I’m free any time to walk or stay overnight with your 4 legged family members. During the week Monday - Friday I’d be available to walk your pup between 10:00am-12:30pm. I’ll be sure to care for your kitty or pup and all of their needs are taken care of. I’d be happy to uphold any routines or necessities while you’re away. I’ll be sure to give them all the love and care. Also feel free to let me know of any quirks your fur baby has.

Madison was excellent. She helped us out with both our dog and cat with a very last minute request. She was very responsive and easy to work with and clearly has a lot of pet experience. I had zero hesitation leaving her with the house and the pets. As expected, the furry kids were happy and the house was in perfect order upon our return. I will definitely reach out to Madison again!
Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Goose Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goose Creek. 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 Goose Creek 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 Goose Creek 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 Goose Creek 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.
