“Shannon was absolutely wonderful. Took such great care of our pup and the house looks better than when we left. She sent us daily photos and updates. Truly made our trip less stressful knowing our pup was in good hands.”
“Chelsea is the BEST!!!! She kept me updated with texts, pictures, videos and was always easy to contact and alleviated any worries or concern. I felt so very lucky and grateful to have her watch after my babies and felt very comfortable having her in my home. They took to her so well, and she was just absolutely 100000/10!!! Not only just a great dog sitter, but a genuinely sweet soul of a human. Very responsible, nurturing, thoughtful, and thorough. Highly recommend. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends puppies often, whether they’re big or small. I can administer any medications, give extra snuggles, really anything needed! I’m currently a college student at Greenville Technical College. Monday-Thursday I have one class each day til 11am, otherwise I’m completely free to take care or your pets! I care for pets in clients' homes by following their routines, providing playtime, walks, and all the love they need. I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while sticking to their usual habits.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
“Michelle is amazing. She went above and beyond when she stayed at our house and watched the cats. We were able to relax on our vacation because she was so good about communicating and sending pictures of the cats. The house was spotless when we came home and she even watered the grass for us. Will definitely be using again!!!!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was very thoughtful and communicated well while I was away. She kept the house tidy and the dogs seemed happy when I returned. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Originally from Upstate South Carolina, I’ve always been an animal person. I grew up around dogs and horses, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I’m a proud dog dad myself, and I know just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m dependable, respectful, detail-oriented, and take pet care seriously. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, quirks, and preferences, and I make a point to follow your instructions closely so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, trying new restaurants, and cheering on Clemson during football season. Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, companionship while you’re away, or overnight care, my goal is simple: to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for. I’m also happy to provide plenty of updates and photos along the way, because I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel a little like handing over a small, furry member of the royal family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and learn more about their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. My work schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day—especially in the mornings and afternoons. Whether you need a regular walker, last-minute drop-in, or consistent daytime care, I’m happy to accommodate. I understand that every pet (and owner) has a unique routine, so if you have specific timing needs or questions about my availability, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I have two dogs—Mac Miller (a golden retriever) and Brody (a mini Bernedoodle)—so I know how important it is to have someone you fully trust caring for your pets. Most days, my dogs tag along with me for my morning routine, whether I’m heading into the office or grabbing coffee. They’re super well-behaved and love being out and about. In the evenings, we usually hit the beach or dog park for some fresh air and playtime. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of—just like I do with my own dogs.
“Emma was amazing! She communicated the whole time and sent lots of photos. We could really tell that Dallas and Maggie were very loved and had lots of fun. Will definitely book again :)”
About: I have been a Veterinary technician/assistant for 26+ yrs. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for your furry family member as my own. All sizes and types. I truly care for them all. I treat each pet like my own. I've spent my career caring for your loved ones and now to be able to continue that care in your home would be a blessing. I can adapt to when your pet needs care and will adjust my schedule to fit accordingly. Im still working in veterinary medicine so depending on my work schedule and your pet needs i will always make things work. I want to help your pets feel safe and not alone while you are gone. I want them and you to be at ease knowing they are loved and cared for.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 7 years old and begged my parents for my first dog. We love all animals in our family. Walks, feeding, playtime and baths are no problems in our house. I currently working part -time. I live very closes to my job and can leave at any time to check on your pet. If your pet is crate trained feel free to bring their crate and I will make sure to continue with the training. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment. There is a dog park if you believe your dog would enjoy that I have no problem taking them. We have walking trails for me to take your dog on walk.
“Madison was truly amazing. Not only did she take such great care of our dog Piper, she also took great care of our house. She cleaned up after herself and went above and beyond. Her communication was great and she kept up updated with lots of pictures! Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“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.”
“Stacie was fantastic!!! I cannot say enough amazing things about her! She took fantastic care of our pups and sent us pictures and videos and even took them on daily walks. She is very trustworthy and I felt comfortable trusting her with my fur babies and my home when we were out of town. She is my new go-to dog sitter! I’m so blessed to have found her and my dogs loved her!”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats all of my life. I know how to take care of them and I love to play with them and keep them safe I’m flexible at this time. I currently have a job however. This is something I want to pursue in the future as a full time job I take care of all my pets needs including taking them out, feeding them, walking them, making sure they have water and other needs they may have.
“I’m pretty sure my dog likes Melissa more than me now ? Oh my goodness, she was FABULOUS! She genuinely LOVED our baby just like we would and sent so many updates throughout her stay with her! We just may have to have Miss Melissa over for family holidays now!! ♥️ Would hire her again in a heartbeat and might possibly put her in our will! ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 McKelvey Crossroads 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 McKelvey Crossroads 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 McKelvey Crossroads 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
