Kelly did a great job watching our little girl, Hazel. She sent photos daily and was always in touch. Very responsive as well. Hazel looked relaxed and loved while we were out of town. It made our trip much more enjoyable knowing she was more than okay and enjoying her visit with Kelly.

Grace did a fabulous job with our 2 pups. Her stay was for overnight in our home for just shy of a week. This was our first time using Grace. The pups took to her right away. Our home was spotless when we got back. I would definitely recommend Grace for any of your pets needs. Reliable and responsible!!

About: Life long dog and cat owner. Experience with all ages, breeds, sizes and personalities. Comfortable giving medication and any other special needs. Friendly fun loving pets of my own who are happy to have friends over to play, and hang out or just chill. I’m retired and available to love on your fur baby. I’ll treat your pup like my own and make them feel comfortable and happy as our guest. I will host only one dog at a time so your doggy will have my full attention. I have a large fenced in yard for playtime and potty breaks. There’s a nature trail nearby for walks and sniffs. I’m new to professional Rover sitting, but have lots of experience with my own pets, Grand dog, family and friends.

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who need a slower pace and a little extra care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have class two days a week, but I’m available in between classes and afterward. I work five days a week, but I’m consistently available after 3 PM as well as on weekends. I’m able to maintain reliable, consistent care and adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own environment. During visits or walks, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—this includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping your home clean and secure.

Megan took wonderful care of my dogs. She was communicative- letting me know when she arrived at my home, updating me on how they were doing over the weekend, and letting me know when she left on Sunday. I came home to happy dogs! Will definitely use her again!

Kelly and Kava were absolute amazing house guests. Kelly took such amazing care of my babies and my house. My oldest is 16 and needs a little help here and there ans my younger dog is a bit reserved and quirky. Kelly was able to meet the needs of both of my very different (but loving) girls. Plus Kava is such a sweetheart and was gentle with my old pup and got along great with my younger dog. Will be booking with Kelly again in the future 100%.

About: I have had animals my whole life and recently moved to the area from Tennessee for a new job. I always watch my friends animals when they go out of town and one turned me onto this app. I live alone in the Murrells Inlet Community and enjoy walking the trails around here. I am responsible, reliable, and treat others animals as my own. I have two cats and a black lab dog who get along with all animals. My schedule is very flexible as I work for a company that has flex time meaning I do not have to go into the office everyday. Living in Murrells Inlet, we have the upmost respect for our neighbors homes, the safety of their pets, and the well beings while they are on vacation (or out of town). I strive to ensure while you are away, there are no surprises waiting for you upon your return.

Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Litchfield by the Sea

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Litchfield by the Sea. 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 Litchfield by the Sea 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 Litchfield by the Sea 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 Litchfield by the Sea 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 Litchfield by the Sea. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
