“Kate was the best rover sitter we have ever had. She was very conscientious about taking care of Bandit, our 12 pound Havapoo. She generously supplied us with such cute pictures and kept us informed on his status. In addition, she offered to take care of some household duties as well. Kate is a very loving and caring individual. We definitely plan on requesting her services in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dog breeds since I was a child. Dog breeds from English Mastiffs and Great Danes, to pit bulls and Shitzus. I am a HUGE dog lover and have picked up training tactics over the years as well. I have my own pups Callie (1.5 yo) and Kinsley (6 mo) who are both sweet and active Labrador retrievers. I am so excited to help you take care of your sweet pup :) I am currently job searching and eventually hope to find an opportunity that has a steady and reliable schedule. Right now I have completely open availability! I would love to come to your home for any pet services (walking/sitting/check-ins). I also have two pups that love other dogs and would be great play partners if needed!
About: I provide dependable pet care for dogs and cats of all sizes. I have 17+ years of pet sitting experience and bring a calm, confident approach that helps pets feel safe and comfortable right away. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can offer consistent attention throughout the day—especially helpful for pets who need routine or don’t like being alone for long. I offer extended care/house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, but I do not provide overnight stays. I’m very comfortable with large dogs (I have a 4-year-old 110 lb Great Pyrenees), but I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I adjust my care to what each pet needs—whether that’s energy, structure, or calm companionship. I also have 8 years of experience as a personal assistant, so I’m reliable, organized, and detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions and communicating clearly. What you can expect from me: 🐾 17+ years of pet sitting experience 🐾 Calm, confident care for all sizes 🐾 Work-from-home flexibility = more consistent attention 🐾 Experienced with large dogs 🐾 Reliable communication + thoughtful updates 🐾 8 years of personal assistant experience—organized, reliable, detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful care for your home and routine Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting needs without rushing or squeezing pets in. I’m already used to being home and present throughout the day, so I can easily give pets consistent attention, regular breaks, and companionship. On a weekly basis, I’m able to reliably accommodate recurring care as well as one-time bookings, and I make sure each visit is fully built into my schedule so pets always get my focused time and care. In a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and schedule ahead of time, and I make sure feedings, walks, playtime, and any medications are done exactly as instructed. I also focus on creating a calm, reassuring presence so pets feel relaxed rather than stressed by the change in routine. My visits are never rushed—I stay present, give them real attention, and make sure they’re getting both care and companionship. I also keep owners updated with clear, thoughtful messages so they always know how their pet is doing.
“Bret watched our 3 dogs for over a week and did a wonderful job with them. They all have very different personalities and needs, and he gave each exactly what they needed. He sent us updates and pictures every day. He left the house looking great. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my fur babies.”
“Dai Yah, was prompt with her response when we urgently needed a last minute same-day booking request in order to go out to an activity and then dinner with family. Were extremely mindful and careful when looking over sitters profiles and this is the 4th time we have booked a house sitting request via Rover app and it was a pleasure to work with DaI Yah. If you’re interested in booking a sitter that has such a pleasant vibe like super chill and easy to follow care instructions for my little 5lb Shih-Poo then schedule with DaI Yah, we will be booking again many more times for DaI Yah, I already mentioned to her that were interested in a repeat sitter so Blaze has a pleasant experience each time we need house sitting care. Dai Yah, and I spoke with each other college and family and goals so it was a great having the brief conversation to try to build that sitter-pet parent connection.”
“Ashton did a wonderful job with our pups - our home was immaculately clean still when we returned. She was thoughtful with the dogs and just a great sitter. 10/10 would book again.”
About: Retired from corporate life focused on doing what I love. My pets have always been members of the family. 🐾 30 Years of Loving Dogs & Cats — Your Pets Are Family! I provide loving, dependable, and personalized pet sitting so you can feel confident they’re in caring hands while you’re away. Active volunteer at the York County Humane Society Animal Shelter I keep my calendar up to date and am retired from full-time work. Available for boarding and overnight stays. Available for 3 visits per day I have a yard and full basement dedicated to pet sitting and can crate a dog if requested. I will request meet and greet along with vet information and instructions ahead of time.
“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”
“Beckye is fantastic. She is so great with my pups and they love her. She takes care of my home while I’m out and ensures my pups get plenty of attention and activity. So glad I found her. Highly recommend.”
About: I've been a dog owner and dog lover for most of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I lost my 16 year old chihuahua/poodle last year. I'm not quite ready for another dog of my own yet but I LOVE to love up on my friends and families fur babies. I have experience with house sitting, boarding and walking dogs. I'm active, dependable, and already get outside for 12-15k steps per day....so having a four-legged walking buddy is a bonus! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I'll always follow your instructions and treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, or just some company and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help. I'm reliable, communicative, and will make sure you know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while they're with me. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m active and already spend a lot of time walking, so I’d love to have a four-legged companion join me! I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and can accommodate both shorter potty breaks and longer walks depending on their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or any special needs you share with me. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll also treat your space with respect and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and getting plenty of attention.
“Anna was great with the boys and very communicative during her stay, sending plenty of messages and pictures to keep me updated. The boys were in great hands, and I will reach out to Anna again and can highly recommend her.”
“Our cat sitter did a wonderful job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She were reliable, attentive, and made sure our cats was well cared for. We appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing our babies was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Jeralynn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Jen was so wonderful with our dog Cosmo! He had a recent foot injury and she made sure he took all his meds and gave us plenty of updates & pictures throughout the weekend. We also had to book with her a little last minute because of his injury and she was accommodating and really saved us in a pinch! Highly recommend Jen for your dog sitting needs!”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Robert did a phenomenal job with copper. Very communicative each day. I can tell she was well cared for when we got home. Copper’s behavior when we arrive home from a trip can be a clear indicator of how she was cared for.”
“David was a fantastic sitter. We reached out to him last minute for a 2+ week sit and he was prompt with his responses and flexible to all of our pet care needs. We received detailed updates and photos daily, and we could tell he really cared about our pets. Based on the photos and happy fur babies we came home to, we could tell they were comfortable and enjoyed their time with him too! He was proactive in asking questions, took the time to get to know our pets and left our house tidy. We would absolutely welcome him back to sit for us again.”

Amanda was amazing! She took such great care of our pups and home while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures. She was great with communication. I know our pups were well-loved and cuddled while we’re gone. I will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Vanessa is, without a doubt, the BEST sitter we have ever had! She is so kind and loving. Our fur babies warmed up to her immediately. Especially our older pit mix who is a grumbly old man. She kept me updated daily with the cutest pictures and we came home to a spotless house. You could tell our babies had been loved on so much! Vanessa goes above and beyond and we can't wait to have her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Wylie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Wylie on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,890 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Wylie. 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 Lake Wylie 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 Lake Wylie 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 Lake Wylie 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.
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.
