“We love working with Amy! She takes such good care of our Murphy when we go on vacation. She’s a super professional dog sitter and house sitter - anyone would be lucky to work with her. Thank you again Amy!!”

“Carlie was awesome! Our golden retriever was well taken care of and our home was left in the exact condition in which we left it before our trip! Would definitely recommend her and hope to book her again!”

“Brandi was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear our pups were happy, loved, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to two relaxed, tail-wagging dogs! Brandi truly went above and beyond — we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I have two dogs 9 & 5 and one kitty. My older pup had a back injury when she was 2, so I’ve dealt with all types of special care for pups who need a bit of assistance as well as administering medications, etc. My animals are my children and I would take care of someone else’s babies as my own! I work full time but typically off by 2pm. I focus on long walks or adventures in the evenings that get my pups worn out leading into the following day while I’m at work. I also have a huge fenced in backyard for them to play in! Bare minimum one walk a day, feeding morning and night, my dogs roam the house while I’m gone but they are trained and older- I can follow instructions easily with preferred schedules(:

About: Hi, I’m Sandi! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve spent years rehabilitating and helping stray animals of many different species, along with caring for my own pets, including senior cats with strict medication schedules. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, playtime, special feeding instructions, or simply a familiar routine, I take those responsibilities seriously. When caring for your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own. I can provide pet feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, mail and package collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, home check-ins, and regular updates (with pictures included) so you always know your pets and property are doing well. You’ll be happy to know that I’m often praised for my problem-solving abilities and excellent communication. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for both pets and homeowners. I know that trust is everything in this line of work, and I work hard to earn it. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with kindness and your home with respect, I’d love to connect and see how I can help make your life easier! Thanks for reading. Chat soon :) Animal care has been part of my everyday life for years. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during times when many sitters are not, including daytime hours, extended visits, and last-minute care needs when availability permits. Because I spend much of my time working from home and managing my own schedule, I can provide a higher level of attentiveness, communication, and consistency than someone limited to evenings and weekends. This flexibility is especially beneficial for senior pets, pets requiring medication, or animals that thrive with extra companionship and routine. Providing dependable, compassionate care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise and enrichment preferences, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, and overall well-being so that I can quickly recognize any changes that may need attention. For cats especially, I understand how important routine and a low-stress environment can be. I maintain a clean and secure environment by keeping food and water areas tidy, cleaning litter boxes regularly, ensuring doors and windows remain secure, and removing any obvious hazards. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and can assist with mail collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, and general home check-ins. Communication is a top priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I never view pet sitting as simply feeding and leaving.. I spend quality time interacting with each pet so they receive companionship, enrichment, and attention in addition to their basic care needs.
“Highly recommend Vicki. Communicated and sent pictures regularly. House was clean and she even put clean sheets on our bed since we were coming in late and tired! I doubt our Zoe even missed us. We hope to use her again this summer if she’ll come back!!”

“Jess stayed at my home while I was out of town and took wonderful care of my dog. She was happy to come by beforehand to meet us, and her love for dogs was obvious immediately. I recently rescued my pup and was nervous about leaving him, but Jess gave me so much peace of mind. She communicated consistently, sending updates and photos throughout her stay. She truly went the extra mile and left my home spotless. I would absolutely recommend Jess as a dependable and loving pet sitter.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Dogs have been part of my family since elementary school, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Feeding, walking, playing, loving, all of it! I genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, relaxing on the couch, or sticking to a consistent routine, I’m happy to provide attentive and loving care tailored to their needs. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I know how important communication is while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I know that always made my day when my dogs stayed with others. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry best friend! After working in corporate as a marketing manager for 12 years, the burn out became real, and I am deciding to take some time to focus on the things that make me happy! Loving on animals, teaching yoga, gardening, painting, and water activities to name a few :). I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability throughout the week; including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because I have an open schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship for your pets. I’m available for: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Weekend and holiday care • Last-minute bookings when possible At my home - I have the sweetest, most loving, and well trained golden doodle and am happy to let the pups play if we both feel comfortable! We have a fenced in yard but the back portion is open to the marsh. We live on a quiet street and take walks all the time or play fetch in the back. Dogs are welcome inside too. At your home - happy to accommodate any needs for you and the dog at your home/yard. I am reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for.
“Erica was wonderful! I had her house sit for me with my German Shepard and kitten and she went above and beyond to make sure she knew all of their needs. She stayed with them and gave them lots of attention. She was very good and giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her from now on! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Emma was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of both of my dogs while Lorena and I were away for a few days, and we couldn’t have felt more at ease. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves what she does. We got regular updates, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. I would 100% recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Abigail was amazing! Very easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our home and our pets. It was such a relief to know that our dog and cats were in such good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our time away without having to worry about a thing. We got wonderful updates and pictures every day, and the pets looked like they were having such a wonderful time we worried they wouldn't want us to come back! Our senior dog is getting up there in years and has some additional needs as a result, but Abigail jumped right in without hesitation and made sure that he had everything he needed to be comfortable and happy. If you want peace of mind that your pets are being well taken care of, your home is being looked after, and that you'll return to find your house cleaner than you left it, Abigail is the sitter for you.”

About: I have worked with dogs besides my own for 5+ years, wether that's overnight or day sitting, plus dog walks and short day checkins! I love animals and have owned 2 dogs since I was around 10, they have sadly passed but were loved dearly! I work a night shift Tuesday - Friday and would prefer not to do more than simple day check ins or dog walks on those days cause I need to sleep during the day! Saturday - Monday I am off and willing to work anytime! I follow what the pet owner does to a T, but also respect what the dog/cat might be telling me, if they need to go to the bathroom at a different time than planned, or want to play or anything I will always be attentive and listen!!
“Alyssa was great with my two girls, she had a puppy and a senior dog to handle. She administered medication and gave them great attention and care. Would absolutely have her back to dog sit any time with no hesitation!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kiawah Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kiawah Island on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kiawah Island. 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 Kiawah Island 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 Kiawah Island 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 Kiawah Island 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.
