About: Over 25 years experience with animals. Especially when your pet is high maintenance or challenging in terms of care. I will take care of your pet as one of my own and never use physical punishment or force. I am very flexible and can accommodate most requests. I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements. Located on over 13 acres, with plenty of room to run and play and family members to offer extra love and pats. Our dogs Cooper and Eleanor are the perfect playmates and welcomes new friends. 🥰 Pretty flexible 24/7, I work from home so it is easy for me to accommodate most requests. Just shoot me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule and needs. I recognize that play and socialization are so important to your dog’s happiness, so I ensure they get plenty of both during doggie day care.
About: Hi! I am a Biology student in my mid-20s in the process of obtaining my second bachelor's degree and working toward a career in animal conservation. Caring for animals has always been more than just a job to me. I've loved animals my whole life. I've had/cared for dogs and cats for over ten years. I have been pet-sitting professionally for friends, family, and others for the past five years. I've cared for animals of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves to play, enjoys long walks, or is a little shy or anxious, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit what makes them feel most comfortable. I know every dog is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personality and routine. I'm experienced with overnight stays, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, administering medications, and caring for homes with multiple pets. I always do my best to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away because I know that consistency helps them feel safe and comfortable. I'll also send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're gone. My goal is to treat every dog like they're my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule because it's my main focus outside of school. I'm a Biology student, so while I do have classes during the week, I have plenty of flexibility before and after class, as well as on weekends and holidays. I will keep my calendar updated if any changes occur. I love spending my free time with animals, whether that's going for walks, playing with energetic pets, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any other special care they may need. I take the time to get to know each pet and adjust to their personality, whether they love to play, prefer quiet companionship, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. My priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean, secure, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Throughout my visits or overnight stays, I'll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hey y’all! I took a break from pet sitting due to my full time job at the clinic but I’ll be back as of 6/5/26💜Animals have always been part of my life. As a teenager I used to do volunteer work with dog shelters/cat sanctuaries, and I currently have 3 years experience as a kennel technician/vet assistant in a clinic setting. As a stay at home parent/wife, I have a flexible schedule to focus on providing care and attention for your fur babies. (Pets with indoor crate/pen training are a plus in case I have to leave the home during the day at any point to ensure your pets safety) I have recently decided to start working from home, so i am able to provide quality time and attention for your pet while they are in my care. (My weekends are mostly open, but during the summer months we spend a lot of time on the lake/river, so it’s also a plus if you have a dog that loves the water. My dachshund would love a boating buddy!) I have a large, shaded fenced in yard where your pets can freely run and play. When your pets are in my care, they are treated the same as my own. My couch is their couch, and if they want to burrow under the covers or at the foot of the bed, mine will just have to scoot on over and make some extra room, haha. Above I mentioned that crate trained pets are a plus for any time during their stay I have to leave the house. My dachshund is a known chewer/scavenger, so she stays in a large indoor pen if I have to leave the house and it has become a safe space for her.
“We knew as soon as we met Dalton that he was the perfect person to watch our babies. He took the best care of all our pets, even giving extra attention to our scared and needy babies. There was a thunderstorm while we were gone and he made sure to update us that they were medicated and comfortable. Dalton was excellent with updates and pictures at every visit. He took the time to clean before we got home and the house looked and smelled amazing. We will definitely be rebooking Dalton for our next trip.”
About: I have had dogs since I was little growing up until now, we currently have a boxer we love like our children. I have trained puppies and worked with dogs of all ages. We also have several farm animals (chickens, horses, goats and birds). Looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s). Our animals are good with other animals but we will want to get them together to make sure it's a good fit if in our home. I am happy to discuss whatever your needs may be and work with you the best I can. No task is too big or small. I have enjoyed working with animals since I was young and hope to continue to do so until I am much older. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to connecting. I currently work from home and so I am here most of the time to ensure they are watched after regularly. We already have a regular routine for all of our other animals. We will care for your pet as if they are our own. Happy to take whatever considerations are needed to make your pet so welcome. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and maintenance, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure to fit visits into my schedule at times that align with your pet's usual routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. My flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, allows me to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into your and your pet's lifestyle. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. In your home, I follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain your cat’s routine and comfort, ensuring their environment feels familiar and secure. I lock all doors and windows after visits, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If I’m hosting in my home, it’s a safe, cat-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, secure spaces to explore, and toys for mental stimulation. I ensure a calm atmosphere with no other pets, so your cat feels safe and at ease. Whether at your place or mine, I provide personalized care and attention, ensuring your pet's stays safe, happy, and loved.
“Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.”

About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.
About: Iv owned a number of cats since I was a baby, I'm obsessed with cats, dogs and critters of all kinds. I have experience with all sorts of animals including birds, lizards, and snakes of all sizes. I value building loyalty and trust with my clients so I do my absolute very best with everyone I meet, no exceptions. I am a full time student so your pets can be cared for any time after 3pm. My 4 cats are very spoiled, their own room to hang out in with toys galore and their own food and water station, they won't be bored while your pet is in my care. I will make sure your animal is very happy and spoiled as if they were my own
About: Light grooming experience. I can do long walks of 4 miles or more. I have a dog car seat that can accommodate large and small. Full time pet sitter. Drop ins, overnights and anything in between. Punctual, reliable, and I would risk life and limb to keep your pets safe. My cat is indoor but has an enclosed catio with pet door access in my apartment. Automated feeder, multiple water fountains and giant litter box.

About: Hi! I’m Linda, and I’ve always loved animals and the comfort, personality, and joy they bring into our lives. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that’s going for walks, giving them attention during drop-in visits, or simply helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi, so I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are. I’m looking to offer flexible evening and weekend pet care and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra attention to help both you and your pet feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi and have availability during evenings, weekends, and some daytime hours on work-from-home days. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits are a great fit for my schedule and lifestyle I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get attention, exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of care and patience. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits.
“Jenna was an exceptional House Sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. She was punctual and attentive. The house was nice and clean when I returned. She’s very communicative and sent photos often. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Michelle did a fantastic job dog-sitting for me! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I appreciated the daily updates and felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, & thank you for checking out Angel Sitters, named after my first Heart Dog. First off, I'm glad you decided to stop by my page & see what I have to offer. I know what a big worry it is when you have a busy life or have to go out of town but you're not sure who you can trust to take care of your babies. With Angel Sitters, you can know that they are always safe, happy & being well taken care of. When you make your first booking with me, regardless of services, I will have you fill out a form so I can keep track of your info for future visits & will already have it all on file. *TO FURBABIES!* Hey guys, I'm super excited at the possibility of getting to know all of you, I know we're gonna have a great time together. You being happy & healthy is my #1 TOP PRIORITY! When I come to visit, make sure you tell Mom or Dad to let me know where the GOOD TREATS are, leash & collar for walks, your favorite napping spot so we can have a good cuddle, & most importantly, where your most favorite toy is so we can play! I can't wait to meet you! So, now is where I tell you about myself, my experiences & why (hopefully) you will be choosing me as your sitter. NOW MOM & DAD, LET'S GET STARTED! I grew up around all kinds of animals but dogs & cats were the one constant. I have had experience with puppies & kittens, adults & seniors. I have basic knowledge about giving oral medicine, injections, first aid & general behavior. I learned a lot about animals from watching my mother, she might as well be Ellie Mae Clampet! I didn't fall very far from her tree, Lol. I know I'm just like her & I believe that's a good thing. I remember how all the strays & injured wildlife in our neighborhood would find our house because they knew we would take care of them. I also learned from watching our dogs & cats over the years & those we fostered when I was a teenager & the way they would interact with each other, what they were saying with their body language. I currently live on my parents farm while I am helping them with my grandparents & helping take care of the farm, so I am unable to sit anybody at their house or watch anyone overnight, unless it is at your residence. We have horses, some inside cats, outside barn cats, & a few very spoiled dogs. Animals are loving, gentle creatures & should always be trated with respect, care & love. My dog is always there to comfort me & make my day better. My dog is my heart & I will treat yours like they were my own. Animals are a gift & I love being around all these different amazing creatures all the time. Upon request, I can take last minute bookings, I understand that things come up in life. Thanks for stopping by Angel Sitters, I hope to meet your four legged babies soon! Since I am located in Wilmer, I can stop in for dogs, cats, horses, & various other farm animals. Rates vary. This is most of my schedule. I do some online work but that can be done at any time. You set the schedule. If you ask me to be there at a certain time then that is when I will be there. I will freely admit that very early mornings are difficult for me at this present time due to a few circumstances, but I will always do my very best for your fur kids, big & small, no matter the breed or species! I can only watch animals in your home at this time. But if they need fed, they will eat. If they need to go on a walk & not just run around the back yard, we'll go on a walk. We'll play with their favorite toy, snuggle on the sofa, make sure they have a good day. Then before I leave I will make sure any mess is cleaned up & that the house is the way it was before I got there.
About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

Be at ease knowing you're beloved pup is receiving care from an experienced pet sitter/dog walker and former vet tech. All of you're furkids special needs will be met.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harleston. 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 Harleston 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 Harleston 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 Harleston 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 Harleston. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
