“Absolutely amazing care and such a sweet person. Carla came over before our doggy staycation to meet Blaze and Luna and they were immediately in love with her. We got daily update photos and they seemed to be living it up! Thank you so much Carla!”
“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“Came home to happy puppies. Rowan let me know when she arrived, feedback after first night and when she was heading out. We were only gone for a weekend so that was plenty of updates. She was responsive to my texts and she was also kind enough to keep up with an Amazon package that I received notification was arriving early. I would use her again.”
“Sara was awesome with my kitty Wilson! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell he was getting so much love! Our apartment was clean upon our arrival home and Wilson was one happy camper. I highly recommend Sara!”
“Sophie and Jacob are amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and we were pretty nervous but I had such peace of mind the whole time I was gone. They sent cute pictures everyday and left our house pristine. We came home to a very happy pup. So happy we found someone who loves our dog as much as us. 10/10 recommended them”
“Amazing! Highly recommend. My cat can be very shy and we just moved, but he warmed right up to them! When I got home he was sweet as ever and relaxed. They listened so well in the meet and greet I didn’t have to make a cheat sheet. They were detailed, caring, and incredibly communicative! I got pictures of my sweet boy several times a day, he’s probably going to miss them! They took excellent care of my house too!”
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’ve dog sat for many friends and family members with no problems at all. I have a dog of my own who is the light of my world. I can’t wait to treat your dog as I do my own - like family ♥️ I currently have some time off from work and looking to fill it being outside. I can do morning & afternoon walks. Up for discussion for evening. All pets should be cared for in the safest and loving way. All dogs and cats are different, and I believe the best way to approach any pet is determined by the pet! Some are playful and energetic. Others are chill and just want to have some head scratches. I don’t mind taking the time to get to know the pets and seeing what works for them.
“Morgan was a great sitter for my mini dachshund Samson! He felt immediately at home with her and she kept me updated throughout the booking process. Highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Aaron was wonderful and truly loved spending time with Gracie and Roxie! Aaron sent pictures and updates daily, which was greatly appreciated! He let me know that Roxie took a little bit of time to warm up but then was herself with being a big snuggler, and that Gracie did great on her walks. Last time we had made this trip we had an 8 hour delay, and asked Aaron ahead of time if something like this happened again could he stay, and he said he could. Luckily all went well and we were able to arrive home on time to two very happy and very well cared for pups! Will definitely use Aaron again!!”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“Jenny always goes above and beyond when caring for our pups! We are worry free when way and always come home to happy puppies. I can’t recommend her enough to everyone in the area. This last time she even cared for a hot spot throughout her stay with the dogs, changed dressing and provided great updates.”
“Isabella was great with the dogs and was in constant communication with us and sending updates and pictures. We will definitely be hiring her again when we need coverage. Highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“ZaNayah has done such a wonderful job sitting for our 3 fur babies. She has gone above and beyond!! We received lots of photos and videos, communication was on point, My fur babies were. Very happy, she shown them lots of attention and lots of Love!! I couldn't ask for a more better Sitter than Nayah!! She covered us the last minute for a Thanksgiving trip, and I got to say.. This Thanksgiving we are are definitely Thankful and grateful for Her!! The home was clean, everyone was happy and We will definitely Book with Nayah in the Near future!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Charleston
We could not have asked for a better couple to take care of our very needy babies. They sent us so many pictures and our three babies seemed genuinely happy with them!! I saw so many smiles on their precious faces. We cannot recommend them enough and look forward to using them in the future!
Here's a warm, genuine review you could leave: Jai was absolutely amazing with Roo, especially while she was recovering and not feeling her best. She went above and beyond to make sure Roo was comfortable, carefully administered all of her medications, and kept me updated every step of the way. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Roo was in such caring and capable hands while I had to leave the house. It's never easy leaving your pup when they're under the weather, but Jai made the entire experience so much less stressful. I truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and I would trust her with Roo again in a heartbeat!
Liz was great! She even took time out of her day, after a night class, to visit our home and meet our girls (I cannot show enough appreciation for that)!! Our pups were a bit complex with instructions because of specific needs and age difference but she handled it professionally and very kindly!! She sent daily updates and photos. Our girls were happy when we got home and in return, we were happy! If she’ll have us, we will GLADLY book Liz again!!
Shiran was over the top wonderful. Kept me in the loop on how the 4 dogs where doing, sent me pics on the daily so I could see them., swept the mopped when whe knew we were coming home, dishes where cleaned that she used, even did a rug clean when the dogs made a mess. Highly highly recommend Shiran for your sitting needs. Thanks you so very much Shiran!!!
Kristina took very good care of my doodle in my home. My dog was happy and healthy upon my return. This is the first time I have left my dog, and not come back to a sick dog that had lost weight. I was so impressed with her care, as well as how she left the house spotless. She even did laundry and washed my dog’s morning bowls, which she did not have to do. I highly recommend Kristina for your pet’s needs.
Caroline has been amazing with my 75lb German Shepherd River and our cat kit. It is hard to find people who know how to handle bigger dogs and I trust Caroline completely. She has always left my apt clean and I have had no issues with how she cares of my girls :)
Courtney was so kind and communicative before and during her stay, but most importantly, our dogs approved! It’s nerve wracking leaving your pets with someone new, but fortunately we never had to worry, and everyone was happy and healthy up on our return. Grateful to have found a dependable sitter!
Ria was outstanding! Ria was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Very loving and playful with our dog and our dog loved having Ria! Would highlight recommend! Recommend so much we are going to book Ria again for our upcoming spring vacation! Thank you Ria!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Charleston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Charleston on Rover is $44.4 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 1,658 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Charleston. 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 North Charleston 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 North Charleston 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 North Charleston 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
