“I want to share how grateful we are for Emilie’s dedication and care. Not only does she look after our pets with love and responsibility, but she went above and beyond when our cat went missing. Emilie helped us search tirelessly, showing how deeply she cares for the animals she looks after. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly committed, I wholeheartedly recommend Emilie as a petsitter 🐾”
“Athena has helped us twice with Jupiter, our jack Russel, and she's been great to help us. Always on time and availability for us. We're looking forward to her taking care of him again.”
“Outstanding communication and sent pictures. Really appreciate her and her kindness with our sweet boy. Already have another time booked and look forward to many in the future!”
“Matthew redefines exceptional pet care provider! He shared updates that included details about how my three fur friends (one dog, two cats) were faring and pictures that showed a happy fur family. He was timely, responsible, and went above and beyond with my very last minute request. I highly recommend him for wonderful care of your furries! Will definitely be acquiring his services again! Thank you, Matthew!”
About: Coming from a family of breeders, I grew to learn how to take care and love dogs who are not all mine. I have a dog of my own but she stays with my mom where she is less anxious. I love and miss my dog so by allowing me to take care of yours will help me just as much as I am helping you! I’m currently a full time student with a part time internship. I have 2 in person classes and the rest online so I have plenty of free time and availability. My home welcomes all dogs, small and big. I do not have a fenced in home, however i do have a tight grip on leashes and and confident and comfortable at walking dogs. My apartment has pathways and grass areas where dogs can sniff and walk freely.
About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Jana is amazing! I have a unique and inconsistent schedule and needed help checking in on Leo while I am working. She has been flexible with us in scheduling and Leo ADORES her! I could not be more relieved knowing he is in excellent care while I am working. She takes him on walks, plays and cuddles with him. It is hard for me to leave him but it is very comforting to know he is loved and cared for so much when I can’t be there for him. It’s hard for me to trust anyone with my sweet little boy but I can say we made a perfect match with Jana. I look forward to each visit and Leo does too. Thank you so much Jana, we appreciate you!!”
“Very very appreciative of Kathryn. She was so helpful and ensured that all of our pets’ needs were met, going above and beyond to make sure that everything went well. I’ve had a few less than pleasant experiences on here, so coming home to happy pets and no mess was a relief. I absolutely recommend booking with her.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was super nervous since my cats have an interesting living situation. Shayne did a great job keeping them on their routine and making sure they were well feed, safe, and happy. She was even able to pick up and love on my very skiddish rescue! Will definitely rebook for our next vacation!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I started caring for dogs when I was 14, and since then I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, from tiny lap dogs to bigger, energetic breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I work remote for 20 hours of my work week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. I’m happy to take dogs on walks or to the park, and I always make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all instructions closely and make sure they are safe, well cared for, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs my whole life- they are my family. My love for animals led me on the path towards veterinary. Now I am attending Tri-County technical college to transfer to Clemson for veterinary. Life is beautiful💕 I currently have college classes every weekday, however my available days are Sunday, Monday, Friday, and Saturday. Monday and Fridays I am free after 2PM. However my animals at home receive lots of attention when I get home from school everyday and love to play outside. Following your instructions and having both you AND your dog feeling safe and secure in the care I provide is very important to me. If possible I’d love to have close communication with the pet parent to prevent any mistakes.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets on & off throughout the last ten years. Started with Rover back in 2017 after college & worked for some other pet sitting companies on & off since! Most experience with dogs but open to other animals as well! Currently a mamma to a senior 15 year old Pomeranian - he's my whole world! Always love building new bonds with your fur babies & getting to know different breeds! I am working part time so I have some free time for morning & afternoon walks or drop ins! I am open to drop in visits or overnights or just a quick afternoon walk- whichever fits you and your pups daily needs the best! I am always open to over night stays to assure your pet is the most comfortable!! I am very easy to reach & depend on open communication at all times to make sure you know your fur babies are in good hands at all times!
“She was wonderful with all three of my dogs! She took the time to come by the day before to meet them, learn their routine, and make sure everyone was comfortable before the check-in. I really appreciated the extra effort and communication. Knowing she had already met them gave me peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Shelly was great! I was going to be away from home for 14 hours so I needed someone to let my dog out and make sure that he was doing okay (I haven’t left him alone for more than a few hours since COVID started). It was so nice to know I had someone I could count on to help me out and my dog absolutely loves her. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I provide a level of care that’s both attentive and genuinely personal. I was raised in a home where dogs were treated like family, and that philosophy still guides everything I do—your dog will be cared for with the same level of love, structure, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced in managing a wide range of care needs, including medication administration, specialized feeding routines, and accommodating unique behaviors or sensitivities. Whether your dog thrives on routine or needs a little extra patience and understanding, I tailor my approach to what works best for them. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. I work from home, I offer a high level of availability and flexibility. I’m able to be present throughout the day, allowing for consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship—something many sitters simply can’t provide. At home, I have two dogs—Remi, my Doberman, and Teddie, my doodle—my perfect yin and yang. They’re well-socialized, well-loved, and live a very active, enriched lifestyle. That same standard of care extends to every dog I welcome.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pelzer is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 1,630 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pelzer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Pelzer. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
