“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.”
“Our pups were happy and tired out which tells me Aaron kept them active. Aaron sent pictures daily and kept us up to date on how things were going. As first time users of Rover, we got super lucky with Aaron. We have already rebooked!”
“Jeanette (Donna) took great care of our pup. She regularly checked in with photos. Jeanette (Donna) confirmed start time the day before and verified we were returning as planned. Our pup was in great hands with Jeanette”
About: I’ve cared for puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors who need extra patience. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, crate routines, and structured walks. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and active lifestyle — I tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether that’s a long walk or a gentle pace. Your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 I currently am in Physical Therapy school, so I am in class from 8a-4:30p Monday-Thursday. I am available Friday through Sunday for walks, check ins, or overnight care! In my home, pets get a safe, structured, and loving environment with plenty of supervised play, regular potty breaks, and consistent routines to help them feel comfortable. I keep spaces clean and secure to ensure their safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I stick to your dog’s normal schedule — feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I respect your space, provide updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
“Grace was a lovely dog sitter!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She provided tons of photos and updates and we could tell she is a genuine dog lover and took really good care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over 11 years, giving me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life—from the playful puppy years to his final weeks battling cancer. That experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attention to detail, and making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I was young, I’ve also been involved with multiple local animal rescues, helping with transports, fostering dogs, and volunteering at community events. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love, patience, and dependable care I’ve always given my own. I’m currently in school Monday through Thursday evenings, so I’m generally available during the day on those days. When I leave for school, my mom is home or will be home within the next hour, so your pets are never left without someone around for an extended period of time. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full flexibility to dedicate my time to your pets and their needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a safe, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. We have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can run and play, along with a doggy door for easy access in and out. I also keep our trash cans secured and have childproof locks on lower cabinets to help prevent curious pets from getting into anything they shouldn’t. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where your pet can relax and feel at home.
“Lauren was amazing with my 7 year old and 6 month old labs! I was anxious about leaving for a week to another country but she made me feel so at ease knowing she was with them throughout the day and night. Her experience also was a plus! I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Suzanne was awesome!! She provided updates & communicated well. Sullivan was very well taken care of while we were gone & I would absolutely hire her to watch Sullivan again. She provided him with consistent walks, lots of play time & a lot of attention & care.”
“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.”
About: I have been looking after other’s pets since I began watching my neighbors’ dogs at eight years old. I take seriously the responsibility of watching another’s furry best friend, and find joy in meeting and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work a 9 to 5 job with regular hours and am happy to help your pup with an early morning, mid day, or evening walk! I approach all pets with respect and follow the cues they give me about how much love and attention they want to give and receive. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while they are missing their human, and create a space where they can relax and have fun while they wait.
About: I always took care of dogs for family and friends while they travel. We don’t have pets of our own currently, so know that your pet will get a lot of love from us. I am currently working from home and usually just leave the house to take my son to daycare and pick him up. I can take your dog out as many times needed for walks and bathroom breaks during the day. We live in a townhouse, with no fence. So we will always need to go out on a leash. I do have a 2 year son, so your pet needs to be good and/or used with kids. We don’t own any pets so you can rest assured they won’t have any problems with that.
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Charleston is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Charleston
Katlyn was a great sitter! She left my apartment spotless, took great care of my cat, and sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was extremely responsive, answering my initial request within minutes. She came by to meet Iggy and immediately fell in love with him. I felt extremely safe and confident leaving him in her care. I will definitely reach back out to her for any future sitting needs!
Carla was amazing! My kitties absolutely loved her. She took such great care of them and sent me the best photos while I was away, which I really appreciated. It was so nice knowing they were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Carla and would happily have her kitty and house sit again! 🐾❤️
Sanna was an awesome house sitter. The dogs loved her and she sent a ton of pictures throughout the days of how the dogs are doing. The house was in one piece when we returned and we do plan on using her the next time we are out of town. Highly recommended to anyone who wants happy pups!
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!
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.
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!!!
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 :)

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,613 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.

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.
