“Chelsea was amazing with our dogs who can be a bit particular. We have 3 senior dogs, 2 of which take medication. She communicated every day and sent picture updates. She was outstanding for our fur babies and allowed us to have a worry free Christmas out of town. Thank you Chelsea!!!”
“Rowan is punctual, experienced and caring. I have 2 dogs and she cared for them for several days. She was attentative to my detailed requests and the house was clean, when I returned. My one pup, is not a fan of thunder, and Rowan used musical therapy to help soothe her anxiety. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Jordyn did an excellent job of taking care of my huskies while I was gone for a week! With my younger one especially having destructive tendencies, I was a little worried about leaving that long, but she was great with them and the house was in great shape when I got back! She was reliable and communicative and I will definitely book her again!”
“Great review. Jennifer took care of our fur baby while we were out of the country. She was prompt and took great care of not only the pup but our home. Everything was nice and neat when we got home which was much appreciated.”
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.
“Amaris was able to sit for us at the last minute. She did a great job, updates, photos and left our house better than how we left it. We recommend Amaris and will be asking her to sit for Hermione again.”
“We had to go out of town for our daughter's wedding and did not have to worry at all about our fur babies. They were all well loved and taken care of. She even did some house cleaning that I did not request or expect! I could not be happier with our experience with her.”
About: I love pets and I’m very flexible. I enjoy dogs and cats of all kinds. I stay home with my children so I can make my own schedule. I live in Summer’s Corner. I’m a stay at home mom with family members who have pet allergies. I’m looking for flexible work outside of my home, that can be done to fit my schedule and benefit yours. I live in Summer’s Corner. I have three small children. I don’t offer boarding, but have a lot of walking availability close by.
“Cory is awesome! I was a lil nervous about leaving my fur babies but she kept me updated every day & I got lots of pictures. She left my house clean and followed all directions I left. Me & my fur babies are lucky to have found her. Definitely will be using her again !”
About: I’ve experienced living with large-breed and high-energy dogs for a few years. I’m very patient with anxious, shy or reactive pets. I am detail-oriented with daily updates, photos and communication. Overall, I would like to gain more experience with my love for animals through Rover😊 I’m currently working a swing-shift schedule from 1pm-10pm. So i’m usually only available on Fridays and Saturdays. My schedule does tend to change often so I will make sure to communicate ahead of time! I care for your fur babies in my client’s home by following their established routines, providing meals on-time, long walks, exercises, affection and any special care needed to keep them healthy, happy and stress-free while you’re away!
About: I'm excited to meet you and help take care of your furry loved ones! I have two cats of my own and love spending time with animals. I look forward to learning your pets' routines and quirks and, of course, capturing some photos to share while you're away. I know the hardest part of being away from home is missing your favorite family members and I will care for them as if they're my own. In addition to dogs, I have experience with cats, hamsters, rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, and small snakes. Whatever your need, I've got you! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I'm available for one off visits and would also love to become a regular contact for folks who need to travel often or work long hours. It takes a village to care for our families and I'm happy to help. While your home is the safest and most comfortable place for your pet, I'm sure they'll be missing you while you're away. I understand it can take time for them to open up and be comfortable with someone new. I am patient, gentle, and quiet. Your pets' comfort is my first priority. In addition to their play and care routines, I'm happy to water your plants, check your mail, or help in any other way I can.
“Ava is simply the best! She truly understands small dogs and managed to bond with my barky, territorial Chiweenie—no small feat! From the start, she was attentive, sweet as pie, and sent me daily updates that made all the difference. Thanks to Ava, I was finally able to go on vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing my fur babes were in loving, capable hands. 100/10 recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🐾💖”
“Very attentive. Took great care of my animals. She even made friends with my elusive cat and we all know animals have the best instincts about people. I couldn’t recommend her enough”
About: I’ve spent over 21 years caring for cats, 10 years raising dogs, and 5 years caring for bearded dragons through personal experience. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage, from kittens and puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and caring for cats with FIV. Every pet has a unique personality, and I’m experienced working with everything from calm, shy companions to energetic, playful pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care while you’re away! My regular availability is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I’m also available for weekend visits, overnight stays, and extended care when you’re traveling. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to keep them on their normal schedule for meals, bathroom breaks, medications, exercise, and playtime. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my highest priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and any special care instructions before every visit. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation while always respecting your pet’s comfort level. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks, transport pets to grooming appointments if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return!
About: I've spent years caring for animals with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Living with a Great Dane has made me very comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and caring for my Labrador through her 17th year gave me plenty of experience with the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I'm also experienced in administering insulin injections and following medication schedules for pets with medical needs. No matter your animal’s age, size, or routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care and feel right at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for the pets in my care. I typically finish work by 3 PM, and I also have two days each week where I work from home, giving me extra availability and flexibility throughout the day. When needed, I can also use my lunch break to check in on your pets and make sure they’re doing well. I’m available for evening and weekend care as well, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and support for your pet’s daily routine. I provide pet care in my client’s home, where I can help pets feel comfortable by keeping their familiar routines and surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I focus on providing attentive, reliable care that includes feeding, playtime, walks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I’m available for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends, and I also offer daily walks and evening walks to help keep pets happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away.

I could not have been happier with Mary Kay! Leaving my pets is always stressful for both they and I, but she provided constant updates and adorable photos. Her communications were excellent, keeping me calm and comfortable about leaving my pets at home. The house was in great shape when I returned, and my pets were happy and relaxed. Highly recommend booking Mary Kay for top-notch care I certainly plan to be a repeat customer.
Our pets were in great hands with Kailen and she literally saved the day. our original pet sitter no showed us the morning we were supposed leave. She came by that day, received all the instructions last minute and came to stay in our house the next morning so we could take off for about 12 days. She was great at being flexible and keeping them on their schedule. Daily pictures and updates were super appreciated. When we came home the house looked great, everyone was so happy, calm and well taken care of. we would gladly rebook Kailen any time and couldn’t recommend her enough.
We had a great experience with Montanna, our dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She sent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home, which we truly appreciated. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Knightsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knightsville on Rover is $59.88 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,669 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knightsville. 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 Knightsville 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 Knightsville 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 Knightsville 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.
