About: Hi! I’ve loved, owned, and cared for dogs almost my whole life. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Pets are truly family, and I provide exceptional care for your four-legged baby. I am a full-time teacher who works 7-3 Monday through Fridays. I am available evenings and weekends day and night to pet sit or dog walk. Pets are family! I strive to provide exceptional care to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I am happy to work with your pet’s individual needs to ensure an excellent experience.
About: I’ve always loved animals. Dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, horses, everything! Whenever a family or friend needs someone to care for their pets I love to. Gives me the chance to have more time with animals. 🥰 I’m a work from home mom so my schedule is pretty much fully available! I’m super flexible and can take last minute pets if needed. 😊 Our home has a fenced in backyard and 4 sweet fur babies to keep yours company. (2 dogs and 2 cats) We have crates and enough space in the house and backyard to keep all of the animals separated if need be though.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby. I also have completed vet assistant school and have worked as a volunteer at the humane society multiple times throughout my life. I am currently working remotely so I am able to take care of your pets really whenever. I am pretty open to any schedule that you may have!! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.
“Christine was very conscientious and kind when caring for our 8 yr old pup. She sent photos every day and always responded to my text messages. I felt that she took her responsibility seriously and spent quality time with our dog. Our house was very tidy when we returned from being away. All in all, a positive experience!”
About: I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. I dog sit frequently for neighbors as well. I can house train puppies and can also give medication. (pills, eye drops, ear drops, etc.) I am currently a night shift nurse at Greenville Memorial looking to make some extra cash. I have a set patterned schedule that I rarely deviate from. I am not available for house sitting over nights I am working but am available all other nights! I take all doggies on frequent walks and give lots of play time. I also like to run, so if you have an energetic dog who needs lots of exercise I can certainly provide that. All dogs get lots of play time, attention, and snuggles!
“Mark did an incredible job while housesitting our pets. He was very communicative throughout the entire process from first meeting until he left the house. We got plenty of pictures/videos from the stay. He even made us aware of an issue going on with the house and worked with us to resolve it. When we returned home the pets looked well taken care of and the house may have cleaner than when we left. We will absolutely be using Mark again and you can ensure that your pets will be in good hands with him.”
“Mia is THE BEST of THE BEST!!!! I would give her a million stars if I could! She took the best care of my babies and you could tell they really loved her! I would recommend her to anybody and everybody! Thank you, Mia for taking care of my babies!”
About: I’ve been around dogs if all sizes my whole life. I currently have two of my own, one being a puppy. I worked this past summer at a dog groomer/ boarder and it was a wonderful experience. I like to think that I am good with all kinds of animals except any kind of creepy crawly. I am currently in high school but I do nothing outside of that. My weekends are completely free and so are my afternoons unless I have some sort of homework which is rarely. I won’t be doing at home services but if I did, I have a big yard with a smaller portion fenced in. I have a Great Dane puppy who is skittish at first around other dogs but never aggressive and eventually warms up. I also have a 4 year old chiweenie who absolutely loves other dogs. I also have a pet pig!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I will have time to play and take care of your pets! I would maybe have to have my daughter with me while checking in, if that’s okay with you. I’m available on weekdays around 10am-7pm, as for weekends, I’m only available on Saturdays at any time. I always make sure that I ask if there’s any specific information/instructions that I’ll need while taking care of the pet. I make sure to let them have some fresh air, along with making sure they’re never uncomfortable, and always secure and happy. I love to have fun, play, interact with them, so that they’re never lonely.
“Highly recommend Bella and we will be using her again! It was our first time using Rover with our 3 dogs. She put us at ease by giving them lots of love, following our instructions, great communication and send lots of pictures! Thanks Bella!”
“We cannot recommend Lee highly enough! He cared for our two senior dogs while we were on an international trip, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. I have a prior career in veterinary medicine, so I hold an extremely high standard when it comes to the care of my pets- especially since both of our dogs are seniors who require multiple medications twice daily. Lee exceeded every expectation. He followed all instructions flawlessly, managed their medication schedule without a single issue or complication, and cared for them with genuine attentiveness and compassion. Leaving them would normally have been incredibly stressful. This was the first time we have ever been away from home without a single issue arising- and that peace of mind is absolutely priceless to us. We truly did not worry for a second while we were gone. Lee also took wonderful care of our home and was outstanding with communication. He provided multiple daily updates, which kept us connected and reassured the entire time. Everything felt seamless and easy because of him. Because of Lee, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our trip knowing our pets were safe, loved, and in the very best hands. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you again, Lee- you are truly one of a kind!”

About: I have hands-on experience with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats needing extra care.

What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and true love for every animal I care for. Pet care is a big part of my life—I do this full-time alongside college.

About: I have taken care of dogs since a child and been around them my whole life. My mom worked in dog rescue for 10 years so I know all of the ins and outs of pet care! I am a teacher so I get off early in the afternoons and have the weekends off! I will have plenty of time in the afternoon and weekends to take care of your pups! I have a 9-year old Italian Greyhound that I have had since he was a few months old. I am used to feeding, walking, crating, and playing with dogs. My mom is an experienced dog-rescuer and helps me with any pet-care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Laurens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laurens on Rover is $29.96 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 509 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurens. 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 Laurens 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 Laurens 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 Laurens 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurens. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
