“Kori did such a great job taking care of the dogs! They were well fed and happily loved while we were away. Kori was extremely respectful of our home, and even helped clean the place while we were away! we will certainly be using her services again!!”
“Reagan was great! She sent plenty of photos and proivided updates on how everyone was doing. Very respectful of the house. When we got back, the animals were happy to see us, but did not act like they had been ignored, which is the best compliment I can give.”
“Sara was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Daisy and treated her like she was her own. She was reliable, communicative, and left our home exactly as we left it. She even washed the sheets before we came home, which made coming home after our trip so much easier! We felt completely comfortable knowing Daisy was in such good hands. We would absolutely have Sara watch Daisy again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, and as a nurse, caregiving comes naturally to me. Though I am new to Rover, I am not new to looking after animals. I am constantly around animals, and I always volunteer myself to take care of my friends/familys’ pets. I am comfortable with all dog breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I approach every animal gently and patiently. When it comes to caring for your furry friend, I will dedicate myself to loving them as though they’re my own. I would love to take them on long walks, to the park, to the beach, and whatever else you are comfortable with so they can get their wiggles out and have some fun! On the other hand, I’m always down to relax with your pet and just be someone to sit with/spend quality time with them while you’re away. Additionally, as a nurse, I’m very comfortable administering medications and providing specialized care, so I am definitely willing and able to provide compassionate care for any pets that are sick/have special needs. I only work 3 days/week as a nurse, so that leaves me a lot of spare time to tend to pets! I have my calendar marked unavailable for days that I work, as they are 12 hour shifts; however, I am flexible and can always arrange a quick walk or drop in before/after my shift if needed! It’s a pleasure to care for peoples’ pets, and it’s an honor to be trusted with them. I know that pets are family and that it’s not always ideal to have a stranger looking after them, but I strive to make both you and your pet comfortable with me caring for them. I have lots of experience with elder dogs as well as younger, more energetic dogs. I am also familiar with many breeds of dogs and their unique temperaments. Lastly, I am very patient with animals and will never expect an animal to behave a certain way. I will respect everything the owner tells me, and I will always let the pet guide what we do while maintaining structure and security.
“Jessica is a literal dog whisper! She stayed with our senior dog and young dog for several days. They were happy, well taken care of, and spoiled. She is truly an angel. ❤️ I can’t say enough nice things!”
“Jai was awesome! This was my wife’s and I first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. We were super nervous. After checking out her profile we reached out and she replied swiftly. She immediately made us feel more comfortable about the situation so we booked her! We agreed on a meet and greet several days before, while at the meet and greet she asked great questions in order to help prepare for the job. We agreed on her house sitting over night through the weekend and she took care of the dogs and house perfectly. She sent so many pictures while we were gone, and I could just see it in my dog’s eyes, they completely trusted her and I could see how happy they were! I would highly recommend you reach out to her. We will be booking with her in the future for sure. Thanks again Jai!”
“Zoey B. Is an amazing pet sitter! She handled all 5 of our cats and two dogs over 70 lbs for the weekend. Our pets absolutely loved her, and they are pretty picky! Zoey sent us amazing pictures of each of our pets several times a day. This meant so much to me because we were very far from home attending my father-in-law’s funeral. Seeing my pets happy, healthy and safe with Zoey just gave me such peace in such a sad time. I highly recommend Zoey, and I absolutely intend to contact her through Rover the next time we need to go out of town. Thank you, Zoey! You’re Awesome!❤️”
“Sage was so sweet and easy to work with. She came early to meet Nellie in a meet and greet, and watched Nellie for 2 nights while I was away. She was kind enough to bring in packages that got delivered and my house was left in perfect condition. Will definitely book with Sage on my next trip!”
“I’ve never had a housesitter before but decided to give it a try. I am so happy to have met Isabella! She provided regular updates, and clearly my guy had fun - he keeps going back to the room she slept in to see if she’s there! My guy is well rested and calm, and my place is in great shape! We would welcome her back anytime.”
“Kristin was great! She was available quickly for a meet n greet, was on time, and took great care of my 3 senior dogs. I definitely hope to use her services in the future.”
About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & dogs all rescued. I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures. I am semi-retired and have a shop on Etsy and TPT. My schedule is very flexible. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pet like they are my own, with love and respect. Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!
About: I have had boxers my whole entire life and have recently moved away from home. I miss them dearly and would love to share the care and attention I have with your dog. I have had experience training, walking, feeding, and taking care of elderly dogs to puppies & and all the ages in between. I currently only work at night so I have plenty of time during the day to add hanging out with your dog to my routine! I currently live in a safe walkable area with plenty of paths- perfect for dog walking. I have reliable transportation to all over the Charleston area to take care of your dog!
“Megan was great with barrel. Barrel is a little timid with new sitters but Megan gave her space to come out on her own. Once barrel opened up, she was very playful and had a great time.”
About: I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how much the little things matter, from your dog’s favorite sniff spot to giving a shy cat time to warm up. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and send photo updates so you can see how they’re settling in while you’re away. I’m a college student, so I plan pet visits around my classes and set aside time for walks, meals, and play. I already care for my own dog and cat every day, and I’ll only book visits when I can give your pet the time and attention they need. At home, I keep my dog and cat on a routine with regular meals, fresh water, walks for my dog, and playtime or quiet company depending on what they’re in the mood for. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and send you a photo update so you can see how they’re doing.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was young for my hometown. I’ve always loved dogs and cats and taking care of them while giving them the exercise and potty breaks they need. I’m a current physical therapy student that has a flexible schedule between classes and weekends. I exercise everyday with a run or walk while enjoying the beautiful low country views. I am very respectful of other people’s houses and property. I treat everyone as I would want to be treated. I believe everyone deserves the upmost care and hospitality.
About: Hi! I’m an OR Nurse at MUSC who recently moved to Charleston, and honestly one of the hardest parts of moving has been missing my dogs and our daily walks. Back home I have a boxer/lab mix, recently lost my cocker spaniel, and also help care for an Aussiedoodle — so dogs have always been a huge part of my everyday life. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs, not just “checking a box” on a walk. I love getting pups outside, active, mentally stimulated, and feeling loved while their owners are busy. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, playtime, sniff breaks, or just company and attention, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. Being an OR nurse has made me extremely dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented, which I know are important qualities when trusting someone with your pet. I’m also very active myself, so I’d love to help dogs who need extra exercise and engagement during the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always treat your pup like they’re my own! I’m very active with my own dogs and typically take them on 2–3 walks a day depending on my nursing schedule. My pups regularly go on 2–3 mile walks or runs, so I’m happy caring for dogs with higher energy levels who enjoy exercise, outdoor time, and staying active. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m happy to provide care in clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I also love taking dogs on walks, runs, and trips to dog parks or outdoor spaces for exercise and enrichment when approved by owners.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Pleasant
I would 100% recommend Jessica to watch your pet! She is so sweet, thorough and genuine. She did such a great job watching my dog Kash. She was so detailed in her check-ins, sent tons of pictures and treated him like her own. We asked Jessica to watch Kash during our wedding weekend and she truly made the experience so much less stressful and we had full trust in her staying with our dog during such an important weekend & busy weekend. She was so flexible & accommodating! On top of it all, she left our place super clean - just as we left it! I would totally book Jessica again.
Cami was fantastic!! She took such good cars of our fur babies!! And they can be a handful sometimes. She communicated quickly with any questions. It was such a sense of relief to go out of town and know that our babies were being so cared for and loved on!! We will absolutely be using Cami again!!
Raquel was amazing! She was a great communicator and kept in touch with us about the dogs while we were gone. When we got back, the dogs were happy and healthy and maybe even more exercised than when we are home! Dewees island is a special place and has a pretty steep learning curve, but she took it all in stride and really embraced the island life! We were so happy with Raquel and the wonderful attention she gave our dogs! Highly highly recommend!!!
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel. We had to travel for a celebration of life for my dad, who passed away suddenly, and because our older dog Charlie has medical issues, finding someone we completely trusted with our two dogs and two cats was especially important. We initially found Rachel because of her veterinary experience and amazing reviews, but she exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly responsive, and from the first meet and greet, our animals absolutely loved her. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures and videos, was so understanding and flexible when our flight schedule changed, and clearly cared for our little pack like they were her own. Our cat Tuilerie even cuddled with her every night! Knowing our animals were safe, happy, and loved gave us such peace of mind during an incredibly difficult trip. We came home to relaxed, happy pets and a spotless house, and Rachel had even left homemade gifts for each animal along with the sweetest handwritten card. We’re so grateful this trip led us to Rachel. She went above and beyond in every way, and we will absolutely be working with her again. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! ❤️
Zoey is an EXCELLENT pet sitter! She is very kind and made me feel comfortable with her staying in my home and watching my pup overnight. She followed instructions I left exactly and sent lots of updates and photos. My dog had a great weekend with her and I will definitely be using her services again!
Ellen is a gem! We have never done house sitting on Rover but we had the best experience with her and our dog clearly adorded her. She left our place even cleaner than she found it and offered to water the flowers & take out the trash. I could tell he was well cared for even with all his quirks and would not hesitate to use her in the future. She truly goes the extra mile!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Pleasant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Pleasant is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,574 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Pleasant. 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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 with handling special pet needs in Mount Pleasant. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
