About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.

About: I have lived with pets my entire life, I have a 5 year old dog currently. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for friends and family frequently when they leave for trips and used to help my grandmother foster kittens!

I have time in the mornings and afternoons for walks and am available most days for pet sitting! I have a very active dog and am used to playing or walking outside for enrichment time. I grew up around cats and dogs and am very fond of both! Whether you need someone to play with them or just keep them company I would love to meet your fur baby.

I start university in late August, however, throughout the week, especially on weekends I am available to give your pets the proper care, love, and support they want, need, and deserve! I currently cannot have pets over my home, however that does not mean that I will care for your dogs any differently then how I care for my own. I will comfort them, play, feed and water, walk, and anything extra that your pet may need or want :)
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, tortoises, and hamsters. I’ve also worked in a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and individualized care. I’m very organized and detail-oriented, so I’m careful to follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and specific instructions. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a Clemson undergraduate student with a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m organized and responsible with my time, and I plan my classes and other commitments around my pet-sitting availability.

About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I typically work a few days out of the week and 4-6 hour shifts! These 4-6 hour shifts are either 10am-3pm or 3pm-9pm! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
“Emilee was outstanding watching our dog for a week of vacation. She clearly cares for the ones in her charge and took care of us by sending regular updates and photos. Our dog is frightened of thunder so when storms came through, she immediately checked with us on how best to make him comfortable. Having someone so dedicated and dependable made it a little easier to be away from our boy.”
About: i have had pets since i was essentially born. i have 4.5 years working in an emergency veterinary hospital, and i currently work in cat rescue. i believe i am well equipped to recognize a medical emergency in cats & dogs. i also have experience with rabbits, fish, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and select reptiles. i am currently unemployed, and i am able to care for your pet during the day through the week, and overnight through the weekend! i do have a 1 year old, so overnight stays during the week would not be an option for us. i will treat your babies as if they are my own while they stay in the comfort of their home. i am unable to board in my apartment, but i am open to pet sitting at your residence.
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds! I grew up with cats and dogs and helped my grandparents with all of their farm animals as well!

I have a fenced backyard and all the room to play! I am very trustworthy and will love on your pet the whole time! They will be with me most of the time and I’ll check in with you often so you have peace of mind.
“I am so grateful for Jessica. She was great with the dogs and did exactly what we asked of her!! We were traveling out of state for our daughter's wedding and we had confirmed a dog sitter weeks in advance for the big day. The original dog sitter never showed for the meet and greet two days before the wedding so we had to scramble. Luckily Jessica was available last minute and even came early so she could meet us and the dogs! If we ever need help in SC again, I would absolutely reach out to Jessica!”
About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years. I am currently searching for a part-time job I can pair with Rover to keep my schedule as open as possible. I’m very flexible with the care I provide. Every pet has their own routine and habits. I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets! We have a dog park nearby I can utilize or a walking path if your pet is a little more introverted.
About: Hi y’all! My name is Madison, l would love to take care of your pet. This is my full time job which means I am able to put all my time and effort into giving your pet the best quality care! My whole life I’ve grown up always having at least two or more dogs so I’ve always had a HUGE love, passion, and special place for dogs in my heart. I love to go on walks, runs, play, cuddle or whatever your dog hearts desires! I live in a big spacious dog friendly home with my two parents who love dogs too. My dad and I go on daily walks so I’ll make sure to get your dog plenty of exercise! Please feel free to reach out with any questions if you are considering me! I am home full time so your dog will have my undivided attention all day long. I am never gone for a long period of time and if I am gone more than a few hours, my two parents are here and help take care of all dogs that come! I have two dogs of my own so I know the importance of getting dogs out frequently and go on walks every single day. Also I love to play with dogs, cuddle, and give plenty of attention! I do this full time so I am always putting your dog first and making sure to give them plenty attention as well as time outside. We always walk the dogs outside with leashes (unless you tell me your dog doesn’t need a leash). We live in the woods on the lake and also have a big outside deck we sit on so the dogs get lots of time outside to explore and play!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pendleton
Adelyn was wonderful! My doggy was so well taken care of while we were gone, as it was evident when we returned. She regularly communicated with me to coordinate her schedule with Sweet Pea’s needs, and she accommodated me when I had certain crazy requests of her. She’s extremely friendly and quick to understand what we were requesting of her. You won’t be disappointed if you use her!
Rebekah was the absolute best! She came to our house to watch Katy while we were away and walked our precious baby every night after it cooled down. Our neighbors told us they were impressed when they saw them out, Katy wasn’t pulling (she does with us) but Rebekah had the greatest impact with her! Thank you!
Morgan was great! We have 2 little senior dogs that can be a bit challenging. By the end of her stay our oldest, most stubborn was laying on the couch with her. She was quick to respond and communicate. We had a very positive experience and will be having her dogsit again in a few weeks.
Marina gave my dog loving care when she watched her. Marina’s communication is absolutely impeccable. She gave consistent, detailed feedback and updates. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned. Marina takes her job very seriously and it shows. She’s fabulous!
Olivia is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She goes above and beyond when she is with my 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog was recently sick, and she has helped by cooking his food and being on top of his new diet. She always sends pictures and stays in touch when she is sitting. I trust her completely and I am grateful to have found her here on Rover.

The average cost of House Sitting in Pendleton is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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 , 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 .
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 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.
