About: I’ve help taken care of friends and families dogs since I was a child. I can bathe the dogs and have fun taking them on walks. I'm currently just working from home and occasionally doing jobs so I have a lot of free time. I am in love with traveling so that is what my goal for this coming year is. im looking to go to all fifty states pet sitting. I will play with your dog and take them for walks during the day and one at night . I will feed your pets on what ever schedule you like.I will also cuddle and love your pet like it was my own !
“I want to start off by saying I have been using Rover since 2020. In VA and now SC. The last two years we have had two wonderful sitters we had been using to help us with our pets. Sadly they both moved a little further away and were unable to help us. That’s we on got on the app and found Grace! I loved that she was local and lived in town close by. Especially that she had experience with large dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog/house sitter! She stayed at our home for 10 days while taking care of our two German Shepherds, our cat, and our Yorkipoo, and she did an amazing job. She was responsible, caring, trustworthy, and treated our pets like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our animals were in such good hands while we were away. She also took great care of our home and kept everything in order. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house exactly as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and loving to care for their pets and home. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! ❤️🐾 We are so happy we found Grace.”
About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I'm experienced with feeding, bathing, daily grooming, administering medications, training commands, playtime, and of course, walks! I'm patient and attentive to each dog's individual personality and needs. I'd also be happy to help with light housekeeping while caring for your pet. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! My only regular commitments are class from 12-1:30 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays and church from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sundays. Outside of those times, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they need. I provide pet care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily care. I'll always be respectful of your home and attentive to your pet's individuals needs, safety, and comfort. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away!
“Could not have had a better experience than the one we had with India! She took the time and interest in learning how to best care for both our dogs, including one who communicates by growling. She took care of their medicine and food and time outside and left the house better than she found it! She shared pictures and updates. The neighbors were impressed also. We have already booked her for out next trip and hope to continue to use her from now on!!”
“Jennifer was such a wonderful caregiver for our babies, giving them so much love, attention, playtime, and just making sure all their needs were taken care of. She was so good about keeping us informed about everything and sending pics of our pups! I HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely request her for any future care!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
“Alina is amazing!! I would love to hire her for all our needs!! She treated our baby with love and gave him so much attention! Kept us updated with pictures! Highly recommend her!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
About: Hi! I’m Eva:) I love animals and have been a pet owner my whole life! I’d be so happy to look after your fur babies! I work at a restaurant so my schedule changes quite a bit, I always work friday’s and saturdays so pet care is limited those days! I ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their routine keeping spaces clean, secure, and hazard free, and respecting each pets personality and needs!
“Maryellen was great! She came for a meet and greet. I liked her and she seemed comfortable with our two large barking dogs. The day we were headed out of town she texted me to double check our leave time. She sent photos each day. She took them for walks and stayed in our house for two nights. Taking both dogs out is a slight arm workout. Dogs were fed and happy when we returned. I would use Maryellen again for overnights or just walks and I would recommend her to friends.”
About: I would love to dog sit for you. I currently have a King Charles Cavalier who runs our household. He is my second cavi and I am well versed in a dog who needs all the TLC and cuddles while you are away. We love puzzle games, going on walks, interactive treats and of course snuggling on the couch. I work from home so your pup will be with me all day! I work from home so your pup will be with me all day. In addition to a structured walk, we have easy access to the outdoors for a quick potty break if needed. I do have a dog in the home and he loves to play and loves having a buddy around. I am in an apartment so there is no yard but we do have access to a private dog run. In addition there are plenty of areas to explore walking. My dog does not crate at night but I am happy to accommodate whatever your pet needs.
“Desiree did a great job taking care of our Zoye for us for the days we wore gone ! She sand us pictures and updates on Zoye! Zoye looks happy and healthy! Desiree did a great job! We are so thankful!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am twenty-six years old and an elementary school teacher. I am a responsible; dedicated, and fun sitter!

“Makayla is such a kind person and really helped me out big time when my husband and I had to go on a last minute trip. She followed our instructions word for word and sent lots of pictures. Sophie and Jax loved playing and relaxing with her while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Richburg. 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 Richburg 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 Richburg 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 Richburg 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.
