We have used Sheryl multiple times and will keep on doing so because our cat ADORES her. You will be hard pressed to find anyone else who pours so much into caring for your fur baby.

Emily did an awesome job taking care of my kitties, doggie, plants and birdies while I was out of town. She gave me frequent updates and pics of my little family and they all were alive and well when I returned. I would absolutely use her again…and again…and again..!:)

I can’t thank Ally enough! First time using Rover and she should seriously be part of their ad campaign! Ally went above and beyond with our 4 fur babies and was an absolute treasure when it came to updates at home. Which gave me the peace of mind to actually be able to enjoy our time away. Thank you so much, Ally!

My dogs adore Alyssa. She has a special way of connecting with all animals. I don’t worry when I leave them in her care because I know they are not going to be stressed and are well cared for along with getting some extra scratches and kisses. I also know that if any problem comes up, with all of her experience, she will handle it. I feel lucky to have her help!

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Shermida—and caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. With over 14 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and personalities, providing everything from daily walks and feedings to baths, vet visits, and grooming support. Friends, neighbors, and family have long trusted me to treat their pets like my own. Growing up in a home full of animals, I learned early on how to connect with pets and understand their unique needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I offer personalized care that’s both compassionate and reliable. My mission is to make life easier for pet owners while keeping their furry companions happy, healthy, and safe. I’d be honored to be part of your dog’s care team! I work from home, so your pet will always have someone nearby to look after them. I’m available throughout the day to check in, take them for walks, and make sure they’re well-fed and comfortable. Your pet’s routine and well-being are my top priorities Safety and fun go hand in hand here.I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they’re not playing too rough, eating something they shouldn’t, or trying to escape. I’ve got a large, fully fenced-in yard where your pet can run, play, and explore freely—always under watchful supervision. It’s a safe space where pets can enjoy themselves while staying protected.

About: I’ve grown up around all types of animals, not just cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my own cat and dog for most of my life and will do anything to give them the love and care all animals need. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina. I love being a student but I also wanted to look into doing something on the side but that’s also fun. I think it’s always extremely important to be respectful of peoples homes. It’s a personal space where people are meant to feel relaxed and be themselves. Respecting my clients home would be top priority along with the care of their pet(s).

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog when they are out of town each year, and have grown to love caring for pets of all kinds. I have also recently done drop in visits for a friend’s family, and took care of 4 dogs and 5 cats for 6 days straight. I made sure I got all their meds down, and loved and cuddled on all of them! I am available full time right now, and I am wanting to gain more experience since this is something I want to keep pursuing since I do love animals so much. I have a fenced yard at my house. My dog Indy is very territorial about his space so I will not be able to keep pets at my place. I will keep my client on speed dial when in their home because I don’t want to break any boundaries, and am always double checking on what the animals need.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8. I had dogs, cats, reptiles and guinea pigs. I work for a vet clinic and is certified. I do have another job so I will be doing this part time after classes. I will accept people as my work schedule shows me what days I work. I do have a fenced in yard but I have a small Chiweenie who is still afraid of other dogs. But I can take your baby on a walk down at the Pelion park or peach tree rock. Please let me know if your dog is okay for car rides.

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to older, more relaxed pets, as well as multi-pet households. I specialize in in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m naturally very attentive and patient, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I take the time to build trust so they feel safe with me. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. I also have experience caring for kittens, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, chickens, and ducks so I’m very comfortable with homes that have a mix of animals. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own and genuinely care about their happiness and well-being. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to be dependable and on time for every visit. I primarily provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels calm and secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I’m very attentive to behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I’m also clean, respectful of your space, and will treat your home with care. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe.

About: For the past 5 years i’ve taken on the amazing job of pet sitting. I’ve sat for numerous families ranging from a single pet, to multiple - of all different ages. I’ve administered medications to elderly dogs daily, taken 3 dogs on a walk at once and played with all sorts of cool animals over the years! As a stay at home mama, to my 2 year old daughter my days are usually open and flexible to accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have! I’m currently a full-time online stay at home mom, in which I’m able to be home all day. Your pets needs will be tended to immediately throughout the day, along with numerous potty breaks and a lot of love and attention. Currently, we live on 5 acres out in the country. While we have plenty of land to go on walks, we do not have a fenced in yard currently. Therefore, any animals boarded in my home must be able to potty on leashes. Also, we have an outdoor dog & cat that may have a possibility of coming in contact with your animals. So friendly with other animals & children are a must.

About: As a high school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. I’ve personally owned three dogs over the past 25 years, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I do not currently have pets in my home, which allows me to give focused attention and care to the dogs I work with. I also love being outdoors and enjoy walks, routines, updates, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. As a teacher, I’m very organized and consistent with routines. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, outdoors, and dependable for both pets and their owners. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention. With my own dogs over the years, I loved taking them on walks, riverwalks, lake outings, and other safe outdoor adventures. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and cared for while also respecting each owner’s routines and instructions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Pelion on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 915 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pelion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pelion stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pelion. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.

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.
