“Anna was amazing! At the first meeting it was clear she was a ‘dog person’ and Dean fell for her. She gave him lots of attention and much cuddling as he is a bit of a needy pup. She was very responsive during the week she watched him. She sent regular updates and some great photos which left me feeling sure he was well cared for. I recommend her highly.”
“Arden was great taking care of our dogs and cat. She stayed in the nighttime to ensure that our dogs were ok and not in need of emergency potty situations that can sometimes occur. She walked the dogs, sent pics and they were all happy and fine when we got home. House was great and everything went smoothly! Using her again the end of the month!”
“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”
“Julie was fantastic! She took the best care of our furbabies (who have special needs) and made us feel at ease while we were away. We knew our babies were in good hands and that allowed us to enjoy our trip to the fullest. She is a great communicator and truly cares for your pets as her own. We will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Emily did a great job caring for our girls Colbie and Hazel. She sent us lots of messages and videos over the few days, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the dogs. No issues at all -- a great find!”
“Madysen gave my fur babies comfort & lots of love as I wasn't able to take them with me on my vacation with my grandson. She monitored Mitzi 's ear as in gets infected easily. She played with them. She even let them sleep with her to prevent any sadness. Dandy got the belly rubs he loves. Rascal the cat even got some attention & neck scratches. I've been approved for return care so they must have behaved well enough... LoL. Thanks bunches Madysen.”
“My dogs were taken care of and given plenty of attention! They are snuggle bugs and loved having Bethany here to take care of them. The house was kept in shape too! I also really appreciated all the updates and photos. My girls looked so happy. The communication was perfect!”
About: I am a student at CofC who is home for the summer and would love to spend as much time with pups before heading back to school. I have been pet sitting for five years, gaining experience with many different breeds and have learned to love every kind of pup! I offer potty breaks, dog walking, and overnight stays! I am currently available at all hours as I am home for summer break. I can be flexible to work around your pets typical hours and spend as much time with them as requested. I will keep your animals on their regular scheduled routine, providing them with their typical daily care and exercise routines! I can monitor your animals as frequently as you would like and have clear communication with you!
“McKenzie was great! She loved on Wren and sent pics and updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating as we have a high energy dog that needs 2 long walks a day and can’t be left alone for too long. We can’t wait to use her again.”
“Emmaline was awesome. We are big time dog parents, and it means a lot to us to have the best for our puppy babies! if you want to feel assured your babies are getting the right attention and are being loved like their own, Emmaline is your dog sitter. She was punctual and communicated timely. Emmaline exceeded our expectations and we will have her back. I could tell that our puppy babies loved Emmaline because they acted like we weren't even gone when we returned.”
“Bruni is amazing. My dog Sophie couldn’t have been happier and in better care. Bruni sent me pictures and videos which calmed my mind. Sophie has bad separation anxiety and I saw no sign of it while she watched her. Thank you so much for being so attentive to her. I would definitely use her again!”
“I will not trust anyone else with my babies. Sara I'd absolutely amazing. She really cares and does an amazing job. She sends pictures and takes care of my fur babies like her own.”
About: I've had five dogs over the course of my lifetime, purebreds and mutts, large and small. I have strong knowledge of a dog's body language and vocalizations. I have experience driving with dogs in the car. I've even taken care of some more unconventional animals, like lizards. My schedule is flexible. I can work almost any day except Sunday from 11 to 3. I am willing to stay overnight if needed, including long weekends and holidays. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and praise. I listen carefully and observe their behavior so I can tell just what tell just what they want. I love taking dogs for walks, especially in areas with lots of nature. I will bring treats and poop bags if required. I will be respectful of your home while I'm in it. If a certain area is off limits for me or the dog, just let me know.
“Michelle and Blake were very kind and left my house clean. They were both attentive to my dogs and provided updates daily to me. Her communication was excellent and we had no issues. :)”
“Had a great experience! Alexis was very patient with our nervous dogs and gave all of them a lot of attention! We received a lot of feedback and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. While my current work schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own right now, I still have plenty of time, energy, and love to give. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work as an ER nurse 3–4 days a week, which gives me several flexible days off to dedicate to caring for pets. On my off days, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I just ask for at least 24 hours’ notice so I can confirm my schedule and make sure I give your pup the time and attention they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe space with plenty of supervision, exercise, and attention. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent and stress-free. Communication is very important to me, so I always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: Ive taken care of my pets and others since roughly 10 years old!! Playing, feeding, cleaning up and more. I can work with small and big dogs, yound and old, and I can hang with even the meanest of cats. I'm available to hang with the pets overnight on weekdays starting at 5:00pm, and weekends as necessary. quick visits and stops are totally fine too! I will not be able to bring any pets home, but in YOUR home i can make sure to clean up if any accidents are made, spend quality time with 'em and follow any specific schedule or routine to a tee.
“Ms Heather was a God send! She was great with our furry babies, we could not have asked for a better experience from any individual or company. We are looking forward to her services in the very near future!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Port Wentworth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Port Wentworth on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port Wentworth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Port Wentworth 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 Port Wentworth 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 Port Wentworth 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Wentworth. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
