About: I have many years of experience taking care of every different kind of animal. I’m here to take your dog on walks, to play, feed your pet if you’re gone, care for them overnight, at your place or mine! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and all of your smaller pets as well. I’m extremely flexible to care for your pet during the day for walks, feeding, play time, as well as overnight while you’re gone! I currently do not have any pets in my home, making it a safe environment for all of yours! I enjoy getting to spend time with your best friends and will treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own.
“I am so thankful for Nicole! She helped my husband and I when we needed someone to let our new puppy out last minute. She was responsive and on time. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Hannah is awesome. This may be the third or fourth time she has watched our pets. She does a great job of being on time and communicating everything that is going on. We highly appreciate her rover cards giving clear details of the visit and the care of our pets. She is great! Will definitely rebook again!”
“Whitney is fabulous with our furry friends. Even our most finicky friend comes out to socialize with her. Gives us peace of mind knowing our furry companions are safe and lovingly taken care of.”
About: I’ve grown up around all types of pets and absolutely love all animals! We’ve had an array of animals in our house growing up such as a German shepherd, parakeets, love birds, hamsters, gerbils, hermit crabs, and Jack Russell terriers! I now own three dogs! We have a super sweet labrador, a frenchie, and a boxer-pit mix. We love taking our big dogs on hikes and out to socialize any chance we get! Daily walks and outside time are a must for our pups and we love every minute of it. I have experience with IVDD and surgeries to follow with my French Bulldog. With that being said, I have first hand experience with caring for a medically fragile animal, administering medications, and seeing signs of discomfort in animals. As a pet owner and lover I know the importance of making sure you have someone you trust with your animal babies! I’m transitioning from being in the classroom full time to substitute teaching once school starts back up. I am free for the summer and will have flexibility in my schedule, especially for afternoons and evenings. I take my own pups out for a walk at least twice a day morning and evening. They also have outside time at least 3-4 times a day for 20+ minutes. If you choose to have your pet board with us we have a full privacy fenced backyard. We also have crates and gated off rooms to separate pups in they need a break or some down time. Our neighborhood is very walkable and private with low traffic.
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
“Nontombe made me feel so wonderful about being able to leave my pet in her care! She was wonderful, took several pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook with Nontombe :)”
“Hannah is AMAZING! She took care of 6 of my animals while I was out of town. They absolutely love her and she is the best! This was my second time using her services! Highly recommend her services!”
“Lindsey was so thorough and sent a great summary of the visit with lots of pictures! Will definitely have her checking in on our kitties again next time we’re away!”
About: I gained valuable experience working with sled dogs in Alaska, building patience, discipline, and confidence in handling high-energy dogs and maintaining consistent care routines. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I have consistent daily availability for drop-ins and walks, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I will carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, keep the home clean, provide attention and playtime, and send updates to ensure pets feel comfortable and owners reassured.
“Sami did a great job caring for our two cats while we were gone for a week. She kept in frequent communication with me (which I really appreciated cause I can be kind of needy, lol), and the cats were happy when we got home. She got our mail too! Thanks, Sami!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who's had dogs my entire life, I can’t imagine living without one! I've also cared for friends’ and family members’ cats, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, I love making sure pets feel happy and loved while their humans are away. :) I work mostly evenings at a restaurant so I have a pretty flexible schedule. The shifts are only about 5 hours long so I am very available to care for your animals in between. I am a very neat person, I always leave everything as I found it or better. I know how particular pets can be, and when owners are away it’s very important to keep their routine so they don’t feel uncomfortable or upset. If there’s any special thing I would need to do to reassure your pet, I’m happy to do it!
About: I am a 35 year old Mother of 3 beautiful children, my Husband & I rescue and rehabilitate injured animals. I personally have owned and/or fostered dogs, cats & an array of random critters my entire life! I absolutely love all animals from Reptiles & Rodents to Cats & Dogs. I currently own 3 indoor cats, 1 outdoor cat, 1 Holland Lop Bunny & 1 California Rex Bunny, I also rehabilitated a baby squirrel who still returns Home for dinner sometimes. I have volunteered at many animal shelters and rescues. I’m an experienced Surgical Recovery Technician for a non-profit rescue. I have plenty of experience managing groups of up to 20 dogs or more by myself. I have worked with many different temperaments and ages, I’m always up for a challenge and am prepared to work with animals of all breeds, ages and temperaments with no question that I will form a bond with them very quickly. Also, I might be able to work hours that I have not listed if it is discussed in advance! I currently work on my own schedule, I am an Independent Contractor for multiple companies. Ultimately I am free to walk your pup or pet-sit anytime because I make my own hours! I will care for every animal as if they are my own. An owner leaving can be a very confusing time for an animal and it is important that they are shown a lot of affection and constantly reminded that they are loved! I intend to make every animal’s walk/visit a happy one and care for them as I hope someone would my own. Any animal in my care should be prepared for some good exercise as well, unless otherwise specified to take it easy due to old age and whatnot. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon, God Bless!

This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!
I couldn’t have asked for better care for my cat, Oreo. Whitney is a true animal lover and really connected with her, which meant so much to me. Her communication was thoughtful, responsive, and always kept me feeling at ease. She went above and beyond, and I truly felt like Oreo was so well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again!
Sara was absolutely amazing. Caring, attentive, and wonderful with my cats. She even brought her own toys, which they loved! One of my cats usually takes time to warm up to new people, but Sara managed to get him comfortable on day one. She went above and beyond, without being asked she took the litter with her instead of leaving it in the trash, washing the cat bowls, and following all of my instructions perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Sara and will definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Sara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Irmo on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 493 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Irmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Irmo. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
