“After meeting Jenna the first time I knew my sweet Tilly girl would be in the best hands. Jenna is so caring and took amazing care of my girl. Highly recommend her for any pet needs you may have.”
“Alyssa took such a great care of our cat. She always took pictures and was sending videos! Quick responding and easy to get in touch with. She always left a not with everything that she did. Definitely would’ve picked her again!”
“At the very last minute I asked and Heidi responded with a "yes" to check on my dog while I attended a funeral. I was so grateful. She sent me photos and let me know how things were going. I would love to have her check on Layla again. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you, Amethyst, for taking care of our "sometimes nice/a bit feral" Momma Kitty! You again surpassed your duties and we appreciate that! We were able to relax on our mini vacation because we knew MK was being cared for. We received pictures and videos daily of our furball😊❤️”
“Tatum was amazing with drop-in visits for our 2 dogs. She spent plenty of time with them and made sure they were cared for exactly how I'd asked. We will definitely be asking her to help with them again!”
About: I grew up just north of Columbia on a farm with my family. All I’ve known my whole life is how to make sure animals are safe and cared for. I’ve trained animals from duck dogs to cows and horses. I’m also at Clemson and study animals and have worked in a vet clinic for years. I’m a student at Clemson and want to make a little bit of money to help out with my needs and take a little weight off of my parents shoulders. With how many classes I am in it’s hard to find a job that fits my needs. I give the upmost respect to animals and make sure that their needs are beyond met. I have a one year old Boykin Spaniel that is mine and he is a handful.
“Great experience! The sitter took excellent care of Dakota and made the whole process super easy. They were reliable, friendly, and followed all the instructions I left. I really appreciate the help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. I’ll definitely book again!”
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: I have approached every single dog owner I have ever seen in order to ask them to pet their dog. My friends and family have always called me a dog whisperer because I’m usually able to even pet the shyest of dogs. I am looking to work part time. I am about to go back to college, but I am free every day except Sunday mornings (church) and Monday night (small groups). I have two Australian shepherds whom I have helped to train. I take them on at least one walk a day and we have a fenced in yard which they can go out into multiple times a day. I help to feed them and take care of them on a daily basis.
About: Hi there! I’m Journey, a senior at Clemson University. I plan on using any proceeds I get for any and all college funds. Thank you so much for helping out 🤎 I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets for around 5 years. Clemson, I have made friends that also have pets and I have been the go to to care for them when they are away. I have four dogs of my own, three at my family‘s house and one here at Clemson. They have all types of pets, from dogs and cats, to bird and lizards, horses, and a guinea pig. They have always relied on my to make sure their pets are happy, healthy, and well taken care of for hours, days, or sometimes weeks. 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: Before I moved to College of Charleston I pet sat around my neighborhood for around 2 years. I also have 4 dogs at home including a foster dog currently and would love to meet y'all's furry friends because I don’t have an animal in my dorm currently! I can walk your doggies pretty much any time except for Wednesday's and Sunday's! typically on weekdays it’s after 12pm, and on Saturdays it’s all day! I take care of my animals with love. sticking to their schedule while involving the upmost playfulness and kindness. I will clean up after them, and like i would with my own dogs and cats put their safety and health first. If there was ever something to happen, immediately calling their owner and sticking by their 4 legged side!
“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing not only basic care, but also love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime, grooming, and recognizing a dog’s individual needs, I am dedicated to treating every dog as if they were my own. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, ensuring they receive the highest level of care while you’re away. I work part-time at a pool, so I have a flexible schedule and extra time throughout the week. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own, so I would love the chance to spend more time with them. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while also keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to make sure each pet is happy, well cared for, and feels at ease while their owner is away. When I had an older dog, giving medication was always needed, so if you have an older dog and need to know that they will be in good hands. I definitely will be the girl for the job!
About: Over the past three years I have worked at two boarding/training/daycare facilities for dogs. My love of animals is why I’m getting my undergraduate degree at Clemson University for Animal Veterinary Science, pre - vet. I love caring for animals and making sure all their needs are met. I am currently a student at Clemson University, I have classes on Monday-Friday. Monday and Tuesday I have one class so those days are very free, Wednesday-Friday I have two classes so I’m not as available for long stays, but walks/drop ins I’m still very free! Saturdays and Sundays I’m free all day! At my home we have two labs, one is 15 years old so she requires special care such as wearing a diaper when not on a walk. I am very flexible with what I can provide when requested from the pet parent. I also currently have a Doberman puppy so I am very comfortable with taking care of puppy needs or just energetic dogs in general.
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes and cats all my life! I’ve raised puppies, dogs with behavioral problems, I’ve even done training. I always loved dog sitting my neighbors dogs and going on walks and taking a pup along with me! I am currently a college student (go Clemson!) so before and after my classes I have all the free time to come care for your pet! I love walks, and I even have a dog park in my neighborhood! I know how to use harnesses on dogs (and cats haha!) and took training classes for knowing how to train and correctly walk and deal with dogs and puppies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pendleton
She is absolutely the best! Everything I could have asked for in someone taking care of my cats. She is caring, reliable, always on time, and pays attention to even the smallest details. She also kept me reassured and supported whenever I was worried, which meant so much to me. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Lauren was so sweet and just what we needed for our boy. We came to Clemson for the football game and needed someone to let him out during the day. I took a chance with Rover and found Lauren. She walked him extra which I know he enjoyed and she sent me updates and pics the entire time. Will be reaching out to her again if he comes with us for other football games. Thank you so much, Lauren!!
This is our second time having Laurel watch our babies while we are out of town. She’s fabulous as always! Very attentive and great communication. She was available right away as we had to go out of state for funeral. We will definitely be having her look after our pets again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pendleton is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 1,327 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pendleton. 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.

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.
