About: Hi there, I’ve been caring for dogs for over 30 years and I love what I do. I’ve looked after pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities - from playful puppies to senior sweethearts- I’ve never had a single problem or unhappy client. Im also a proud parent myself of two adorable Shih Tzus and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s daily drop ins, weekend stays or just extra love and attention while you are away, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I am available and ready to spend time with your furry family members on short notice. Looking forward to many fun filled days with your pets. I will take care of your pets as if they were mine. We will form a loving bond and enjoy our time together while waiting for your return.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I’ve watched dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds! I have also taken care of a variety of other animals so i’m prepared for everything! I am currently working full time at an outdoors store. Depending on location I may be able to leave during the day for a little, but that is not guaranteed. I will always treat your dog as my own. There is nothing more important to me than a happy dog! It will always be my goal to make sure your pet is safe and cared for in the best way possible, and to ensure that your dog has the happiest wiggles!
“Jennifer was so amazing and caring with our 2 dogs. I felt completely at ease and was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that our dogs were well taken care of. She sent thorough updates and tons of pictures, which I greatly appreciated! Our dogs warmed up quickly to her and I know were sad for her to leave. I’ll definitely book with Jennifer again!”
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”
About: As an animal owner myself, I know what I look for in a pet sitter, your fur babies will be cared for just as you care for them. I also do photography as a hobby, you will always have cute photos sent to you. I am a stay at home mom, because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to work around what is needed for taking care of your fur babies. I have found that when a new person enters an animals schedule, staying on the schedule they are used to helps everyone adjust. I feel keeping the animal (s) on a schedule they're used to is helpful.
“Can’t thank Julie enough for taking care of our household full of pets! Our dogs can be a bit high maintenance (and crazy) but she showed no intimidation at all! She kept me posted throughout the week with cute photos and little updates about how they were behaving. We had never left our dogs with a sitter they didn’t know before, but she took care of them like they were her own. My mind was totally at ease. It’s not easy to take care of two dogs and two cats all by yourself for a few days, but she handled it like a champ. Julie even left my house cleaner than when I left it, I was impressed! Highly recommend her. Thank you Julie!”
About: Pretty consistently have house sat for a family with 2 dogs up to a week in length. And have done the same from time to time with other families/pets. I work for my family business and will be starting PT school this fall. So just looking for a way to make some extra money and I do love dogs. The family business has busy times and slower times and so I will be available in between trips this summer. PT school will be busier, but would be doable even during that time. Treat them as they are my own pets. I have had two dogs most of my life and know how to take care of them.
“She did a great job. I knew I would come home to happy dogs. She kept me up-to-date with photos of their many walks and happy antics. She also kept them all on their schedule for medicine. That’s no small thing. I would recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Friendly, responsive, responsible, and very good with our energetic fur kiddos!! Took 45 minutes out of his day to drive to us for a last minute meet-and-greet and was so kind and genuine! Very trustworthy and accommodating. Will definitely re-book once we next need help!”
“Anjali was amazing with our two pups! She house sat for us while we were out of town and I know the boys felt so comfortable with her here. She took care of our home like it was her own. The pups have allergies and she did amazing at accommodating them and taking really great care of them. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a small kid and love all animals. Will make sure they are happy but also most importantly make sure they are safe! I have dog sat for all my friends and family’s pets for years. I enjoy it. I just moved here and have been looking for a job I can make my own schedule so I feel like this will be perfect for me while I get used to the new area. Make sure they have plenty of playtime but also time to relax. And NO accidents inside. I am a clean freak so I always want to make sure everything is exactly where it needs to be before I leave and when I get back somewhere
About: I previously worked at the San Antonio aquarium and have lots of experience with both exotic and non exotic animals, have had animals since I was 2 and trained my own service dogs have 2 currently I currently don’t work so have all day free for any pets! If needed will be willing to give bath, play with them go on hikes/long walks and give both physical and mental stimulation to them! I have experience with lots of different behavioral problems with animals and will take my time as needed, I can work with giving them the ability to safely go in a crate without getting spooked
“She has been my go-to sitter for years and my dogs love her. She always is very communicative and keeps me updated on everywhere and sends me pictures of my dogs being dorks and showing how happy they are”
“Mckenna has stayed over our home to watch our Bugsy twice. She is respectful, reliable, and responsible. Both visits, McKenna had to give medication and follow her feeding schedule. Bugsy is an anxious dog, and Mckenna understood the unique needs of Bugsy. She took Bugsy on walks (who is not good on leash) when she could. We had meet and greet before both stays, and Bugsy really liked playing with her! We highly recommend her for any sitting needs!”
About: I’m very cautious with all of the fur babies and making sure they are safe and very happy with me. I’m a very lovable person. I’m available anytime! I can get busy but that’s ok because I’m willing to make you happy and your fur babies. I love being around animals. I make sure your pets are fed properly and that they are happy and I will definitely make sure that they don’t get into trouble with anything.
About: I’ve been surrounded by various dog breeds and ages my entire life and learned to love senior dogs as my childhood dog grew older. I have experience with infant puppies to the late stages in life. I love to spend time with other people’s dogs because I 1) enjoy helping other people out but 2) can’t have a dog of my own right now and need somewhere to give all my love!!! I see clients throughout the week at various times, usually virtually, so my availability is pretty open! Fridays work a little differently, but I will also make sure to update you on that! I am free for check-ins, but also LOVE sitting at home with the dogs when I can - especially since I can use remote platforms! I will mostly stay overnight for people in their homes and take care of their dogs + give lots of snuggles while families are on vacation. I will feed the dogs, give them medications if needed, make sure water is kept clean and full, play in the yard (if available), take on walks, snuggles, etc :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Harleyville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 380 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harleyville. 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 Harleyville 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 Harleyville 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 Harleyville 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 Harleyville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
