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.

I worked at a grooming Salon in Austin Texas for a few years so I know all about all the different kinds of pet temperaments! I’m extremely reliable and will make sure you feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I know how important updates and photos are to people so we will take lots of those as well.

“Kassie is the best!! She loved on my dog and sent so many good updates and pictures. My dog is a little tough to handle at times, but Kassie was so confident and even did a little bit of training with her. I will absolutely be using Kassie for help with our pup again in the future!!”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.

About: Hi, I'm Cloe! I live in Greenville and I've wanted a dog for years. Until then, I'm happy to spend time with yours. I've fostered a dog before, so I know how much a new routine can stress a pup, and I'm patient about helping them settle in. I also have a cat, so I'm comfortable with animals of all kinds. I'm active and love getting outside, so walks and playtime are my favorite part. I'll send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine for food, meds, and walks. I'm home on weekends, so your dog stays with me and gets my full attention, not hours alone. I stick to your routine for meals, walks, and potty breaks, and I'll send photo updates throughout the stay. Evenings are for relaxing together at home. I also have a cat, so your dog would be sharing the space with one. My home is calm and comfortable, and your dog stays with me for the whole weekend, so they get lots of attention. I ask owners to bring their dog's food, bed, and favorite toys so things feel familiar, and I follow your routine for meals, medications, walks, and potty breaks. Your dog gets regular walks and playtime, and I send photo updates throughout the stay. I have a cat, so I do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone's comfortable. If anything comes up, I'll contact you right away and follow your vet and emergency instructions

“Preston did a phenomenal job coming in to my home to drop in sir for our 3 dogs. Our sitter cancelled last minute and Preston stepped in and saved the weekend! He was great handling our dogs as they had never met. He was very knowledgeable, prepared, flexible, communicative, and took excellent care of our dogs and our home. I would not hesitate to book Preston again. Thank You Preston!”
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.

My apartment has pathways and grass areas where dogs can sniff and walk freely.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pickens is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $42 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 1,684 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pickens. 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.

- 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.
