“Rowan was great! Our two dogs were very calm and happy when we got home. We would definitely recommend Rowan and would be glad to have them sit our dogs again!”
“Kenzie was great! Kept us updated with tons of photos and updates while we were away. Came home to happy dogs and our house in order! Would recommend Kenzie for your animal care needs!”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
“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!!”
“Oh my goodness, our family has been blessed to have found Julie! She took such excellent care of our 2 pups: Walking them early before it got too hot, keeping on our schedule and being home for the majority of the day. My youngest pup is timid with new people and is deaf. But somehow Julie won her over as seen in pictures of them cozy together: ) Julie communicated with updates, pictures and questions. In addition to all of this, Julie watered my plants and left my home in the same condition that I left it. That made returning home after 8 days away so much easier. Thank you for everything Julie!”
“Katlyn is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and thoughtful and made us feel at ease about leaving our pup, Albus, for the first time. She shared pics and updates throughout the evening and it was clear that Albus had a blast with her. I highly recommend her and I hope she will come back to watch Albus again in the future.”
“Sophie (and Jacob!) took great care of Kona! She was also very respectful of our home and left it cleaner than she found it! We look forward to having her stay with Kona in the future. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I was a child! I’m comfortable with any size dog, no such thing as too big or too small. I can’t wait to love your fur babies as my own :) I’m currently finishing my masters in education online! This gives me lots of flexibility with your schedule, and I can be available whenever you need. I also love being active and getting steps in, and I would love to give your dog as much exercise as they need! I will respect anything you ask of me, whether you need your dog crated when they’re in the home alone or walked for many miles!
“First time using Rover and she was amazing! Super communicative, sent updates/pictures, and took such good care of my pup. Definitely made me feel comfortable leaving him and I’d 100% book with her again!”
“Megan always does an amazing job taking care of our 4 fur babies. She gives the best love and care. We are so lucky to have her in our life caring for our animals.”
“Highly recommend Vicki. Communicated and sent pictures regularly. House was clean and she even put clean sheets on our bed since we were coming in late and tired! I doubt our Zoe even missed us. We hope to use her again this summer if she’ll come back!!”
“Exceptional Pet Sitter. Tonya was exceptional in her communication and sending pictures daily of our pups. Tonya was punctual in her arrival for her pet sitting and rearranged her departure to accomodate our late afternoon arrival from our holiday break to ensure the energetic pups had one last potty break before our return. Not only did she take care of our pups she left the house spoltess as well. Thanks so much Tonya. We appreciate you taking care of Waddy and Marsh. They had a great time with you.”
“Graham has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. Our dogs love him and we always find everything in perfect order when we come home. We very much appreciate his great work for us.”
“McKenna stayed at our home for two nights and took amazing care of our dog. It was such a relief knowing our pup was comfortable in his own space and getting plenty of attention and love. We got regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house!!”
“Devon was amazing with our fur babies, Susan and Daisy! She kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were well loved and cared for the entire time. We came home to two very happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Charleston
Carla took great care of our three cats (and house, and plants, and the community cat visitor to our yard) while we were away for two weeks. Between them all, our three critters have two different prescription diets, one set of daily medication, and a general love of human company--we felt very comfortable leaving them with a professional cat lover and they were calm, happy, and healthy when we returned!
Liz was fantastic! She sent plenty of photos, checked in regularly, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. My dogs clearly loved her and were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Katlyn is absolutely fantastic. She is kind and thoughtful and made us feel at ease about leaving our pup, Albus, for the first time. She shared pics and updates throughout the evening and it was clear that Albus had a blast with her. I highly recommend her and I hope she will come back to watch Albus again in the future.
Elise is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Oscar and George while I was away and I never had to worry for a second. She kept me updated throughout my trip with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals and my boys were so happy and well cared for. Her positive attitude, reliability, and attention to detail make all the difference. Being able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing Oscar and George were in such loving hands is priceless.
Jai took care of Maggie, our little black lab mix, for a week while my wife and I were out of the country. She came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before and Maggie was instantly calm with her! Jai sent tons of pictures every day which we loved. Our house was in great condition when we returned, and Jai watered our outdoor plants for us. Maggie got her daily walks and plenty of cuddles! Jai is coming back for another shorter stay later this month.
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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,652 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
