“We are new to the area and were looking for a live in pet sitter for our boy Toby. We turned to Rover and found Kylie with a high rating and positive reviews. Kylie didn't just meet expectations, she exceeded them with multiple picture and video updates of her and Toby interacting and going for walks, which put us at ease seeing how happy and comfortable Toby was with his new friend. We left a few notes (actually 3 pages lol) which included his schedule and favorite toys and areas he likes to walk, all was followed without missing a step, it was as if we never left, which was our goal. We would not hesitate to recommend Kylie to anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter, Kylie rocks. We would suggest booking her early as her schedule fills fast, a sign of a great sitter for your pet. We look forward to using her services for our next trip.”
“Lauren communicates well and returns messages quickly. She was very flexible and accommodating. She came to my house twice and was familiar with our dogs prior to the service date. I highly recommend her.”
“Robert, thank you so much for taking care of Siena! It is comforting to know that she wasn't alone for long periods of time and also had someone to play ball with! Truly appreciate it! When we need a sitter in the future, we would like you again to care for Siena,”
“I had a last minute family emergency out of state and thankfully Brook was available to house sit my Valli. Within two days, she dropped everything so we could meet beforehand, and then she took care of Valli for a week. Every day Brooke sent me a video and an update text and made me feel very comfortable with her in my home and with Valli’s care. Highly recommend!”
“Casandra was amazing! I asked her to pup sit last minute over the holiday and she responded promptly and took great care of my dogs! Plenty of updates and pictures while we were away.”
“Deb was great! She’s very reliable, kind and caring. She took very good care of my senior dog who has separation anxiety, she stayed with him at our home. He was calm he loved her and our home was clean and tidy when we got back. Our Thank you Debra for taking such good care of Ollie.”
“Danny was prompt to arrive and took good care of our cockapoo puppy over a long weekend. He responded to inquiries quickly and shared pictures with us. We would definitely hire him again.”
“Kathleen was amazing. Our two Pomeranians loved her and followed her everywhere. You could tell from the pictures how much they loved her. She kept them on their schedule including multiple walks each day (the Ring captured all of their walks, and there were a lot!) To top off her loving care of our girls, she also gave them baths, washed the bedding, swept and mopped. I didn't have a single dish or any cleaning to do when we got home. I could go on forever of how loved our girls were and their medical needs being met by Kathleen. It feels like we gained a family member with Kathleen!”

“Kelly was wonderful. Bonnie loves her. I walk in to Kelly’s home & Bonnie is so excited to see me. But yet so excited to bring her toy to both Kelly and her husband. I enjoyed seeing that!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter who truly treats every pet like family. I have three of my own—Odin, Taco, and Blue—who keep life fun with their playful, friendly personalities, so I’m very used to all kinds of energy levels and pet quirks! I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for 3 years but have hands-on experience of over 10 years caring for animals of all ages, from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC - including other types of pets as well! I’m comfortable giving medications, handling multiple drop-ins per day, and keeping up with your pet’s favorite routines (and favorite toys, of course!). I offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on consistent communication so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands. My style is warm, patient, and playful—I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe and happy. I do often have my child with me, so I do best with pets that are comfortable around kids. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care fits into my every day life because I have dogs and a cat of my own. It’s before and after work and all day when necessary. My pets are able to freely roam throughout my house while I am home and away. However you keep your dog while away, I have no problem following suit!

Available weekends and most holidays. I have a big backyard where I play with my 2 fur babies and a nice patio for my outdoor cats to lounge.

About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little River
Rob took very good care of our boy Toby, sent us daily updates with pictures and videos which lowered our anxiety and made our trip more enjoyable. He followed all our instructions to a "T" to keep Toby on track with our daily routine with feeding times, walks and playtime. We would recommend Rob to anyone looking for a live-in dog-sitter to care for their pet.
We just returned from a 20 trip with Lee caring for our home and our buddy. She was great! It's going to take a while for our pup to stop looking for Lee and just accept that he's stuck with us. We will be using her for a few days this summer and our dog can't wait.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Little River on Rover is $55.5 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 410 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little River. 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 Little River 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 Little River 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 Little River 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.
