“This was our second time booking with Amber and it certainly won’t be our last. She always goes above and beyond and it’s so comforting having her in our home with our dogs that love her! Thank you for everything, Amber! We appreciate you so much!”
“We are so happy that we found Sean as a pet sitter… Our dogs immediately warmed up to him and he spent so much time cuddling them and playing with them. They seemed a little disappointed when we came home.🤣”
“Lauren was fantastic. She went above and beyond in caring for our pup. He has separation anxiety and she did her best with him. She is caring about animals and she gave pup great love and attention. We definitely will be using her in the future. Thank you Lauren.”
About: I have had dogs for 10 years and know what it takes to take care of them the best way possible. I enjoy their presence and am able to share the love. I currently work part time at the university of South Carolina, so I have plenty of time to help out and take care of pets I make sure to monitor my dogs when it is time to take them outside. I make sure to keep them on a schedule and reward them after
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”
“Jeffrey is wonderful! He is very attentive to my dogs. I think they may love him more than me now! Even my standoffish dog warmed up to him quickly. He sends pictures and updates daily, and even put my garbage out without being asked! I highly recommend Jeffrey for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have been stepping in to take care of pets for the last 5 years. I had cats my entire childhood, but always had neighbors with dogs. I can walk them, scoop poo, and play with them with no issue. I’m a best fit for houses with both cats and dogs, and I’m open to caring for other animals as well (birds, lizards, snakes, etc.) with proper instructions! While in college I pet sit regularly for a dog with high medical needs (seizures, diabetes, etc.) and am very good at following instructions for their medication and care. Overall, I love watching over creatures that some might consider “finicky or particular.” It’s rewarding to help them stay comfortable while their favorite person is away. I’m currently working part time (15-20hrs) as a server, so the days that I work varies week to week. However, I don’t work weekends, and I’m never at work for longer than 8 hours (most shifts are 4-6hours). I can easily visit your pet/house in the morning, go to work, and return to check on them in the afternoon/evening. On days that I’m not working, I can check more frequently and stay longer. I will feed, give medication, scoop litter boxes, and play/walk your pets according to their needs. For general house sitting, I can water plants and bring in mail/packages if requested! For stays that are 3 days+, I will also clean water bowls/food dispensers. I am open to light cleaning (floors, laundry, dusting, etc.) in homes that I’m watching for 3+ days, but for a negotiated rate. If you have pets, I will not clean with anything that is not pet friendly!! I will keep you updated with pictures of your pets, and contact you immediately if any issues arise. I will problem solve as much as possible, but not without you knowing. This should go without saying, but I will never bring any other person to your home!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. In my younger years I would take some from off the streets, wash them, and wait for my Mom to decide wether or not we could keep them (even though every time I would get a resounding no, God kept me hopeful) I’m a certified animal behavior specialist now and I have 8 years of experience in catering to and loving on pets. I’ve taken care of furbabies with anxiety, some from shelters, and even elderly furbabies along with some who have certain medical needs. I love animals and believe firmly in the saying “ dogs do speak but only to those who will listen”, those who will have the patience to listen I work from home most of the week the beginning of the day so I will have free time to dog sit Wednesday & Friday- Saturday I have a separate condo space underneath my house where it is fully stocked with a bathroom kitchen and bedroom; running AC. I can easily crate your animal if needed and/or they will be comfortable with the bedding you’ve provided
About: I’ve had dogs all my life taken care of then. I currently have 2 year old pug and we go to the dog park almost every day. Milo, my current dog is the most spoiled dog. I know I cook his food so he can be nice and healthy and his coat can be nice and shiny and soft And take the time out to make sure that he gets all his Zumiez out So I currently work for T-Mobile typically work around seven hours a day, but I still have a Lotta free time before and after depending on the day. I still manage to take my little Pug on numerous, walks into the dog park every day, and typically free on the weekends all day. Honestly, I love dogs so I will treat your dog like It’s my own, I do require all animals have updated shots and car seat belts as Milo and I often go on car rides and to the dog park… also if your dog is not neutered or spayed that is fine but please inform me prior so I can book accordingly, I do have pee pads for dogs who aren’t potty trained although most young puppies are easy to tech when a older dog is present.
“Qais was incredibly friendly and helpful! I had a last-minute work schedule conflict and needed someone to come care for my 12-year-old Shih Tzu who had just come out of surgery. Qais stepped up on short notice and was a wonderful support for my furson during such a stressful time.”
About: Have an energetic pup who needs someone who can keep up? I’d love to help! I’ve had my own dog, Dallas, since I was 10, and my family currently has three Boxers, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic dogs. I love going on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, but I’m just as happy to cuddle and relax with your pet. I’ve also regularly pet sat for four families, caring for up to three cats and two large dogs in one home, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines and needs. I love taking pictures and sending cute updates while you’re away, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a college student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule! My only set commitments are classes: Monday and Wednesday from 2:20–3:35 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:05–11:20 AM and 2:50–4:05 PM. Everything else is extracurricular and can be adjusted around pet-care needs. Fridays and weekends are completely open, and I’m generally flexible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find times that work best for both of us! I have a fully fenced in, chain-link backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play, with supervision. I don’t have a crate, but I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide about where they’re most comfortable resting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, supervise outdoor time, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

“Morgan did a great job taking care of our beagle child Lucky. We planned a trip with short notice and couldn’t be happier that we found Morgan and she was available to provide in home care for Lucky. It was our first time using her but won’t be the last. We found her to be very attentive, accommodating to any special requests, responsible and reliable. The regular updates she provided us made us feel less guilty about leaving her behind. We highly recommend Morgan and Lucky does too! 🐶”
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!
About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Killian
Brandi is amazing! This was a last minute booking due to a death in the family and Brandi was a real lifesaver for us. We also had some allergic reactions for her to contend with and she handled the itchy pups like the professional that she is. I went years without a real vacation because I didn’t want to leave my babies, but I am so comfortable letting her take care of them.
Yentl B. recently dog- and house-sat for me for a couple of days, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly friendly and genuinely loved spending time with my dogs and cat. She even stayed overnight with them and adjusted her work schedule as much as possible to maximize their people time. Whenever she wasn’t home, she left calming dog music playing on the TV, which really helped keep them relaxed. Right before my trip, I had a small home emergency, and she stepped right in—helping manage the situation and securing the dogs while the repairman came by. Yentl was truly helpful, dependable, and caring. I would gladly have her pet sit for me again anytime!

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 Killian 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 Killian 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 Killian 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
