“Dia and I loved having Sarah to housesit at our home in Kirkwood!!! I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you again Sarah for providing such great care of Dia!!!”
“Natalee did an amazing job with my pets! My dog, Nelly, is scared and reactive to strangers coming into the home, but she took the time needed for him to trust her, even going so far as to have a trial run before the actual booking. She has a warm and confident presence and really understood what he needed. By the end of the visit, he was getting all the cuddles from her. She also did any amazing job with both of my cats. She did a great job keeping me up to date while I was away with written updates and photos. When I got home, the house was cleaner than when I left. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Our babies were obviously very well cared for and the house was left super clean. Our animals were relaxing comfortably when we got home- literally zero signs of stress. Tori did a great job of keeping us updated every day which helped a lot with our peace of mind. She even brought our mail and packages in so they wouldn’t get rained on! Great experience, would absolutely recommend. It was easily one of our top Rover experiences since joining the app over 2 years ago.”
“I recently hired Jeremy to help me with my Doberman and he did a fantastic job! He was super communicative and my girl thoroughly enjoyed her time with him. Highly recommend him!!”
“Mallory was a great sitter for our dog Gordon on relatively short notice! She very respectfully watched our home and Gordon, sharing many adorable photos and making sure our house was cleaner when we got back than when we left. Gordon even seemed to miss her quite a bit the first couple of days after she left :) highly recommend Mallory as a sitter, and I think Gordon would too!”
“We were very upfront with Marsha that our rescue dog can be slightly aggressive and does not like strangers—we had almost given up on finding a sitter. Although Marsha never rushed the process, always listened to our concerns, and used techniques that helped our pup build trust slowly. She’s a great communicator with lots of messages, pictures and video. It was so nice to be away and not feel concerned. She’s a great sitter for anxious pups!”
About: Nearly three decades experience Wide open availability Have worked with every breed/personality imaginable. Can adapt to any pets needs great or small. Have worked with all ages and medical needs. Medication, food sensitivities, and personal preferences are very important and will be treated with equal priority. I have a very open availability and no spouse or children. I prioritize the pets I'm caring for over other obligations and will be open about any scheduling conflicts. (but that's unlikely to happen) My service involves precise and personalized care depending on the pet's needs and personality. No two pets are the same and each needs to be understood according to their lifestyle.
“Samantha and Chris were absolutely fabulous! Our dog is a stray and sometimes takes awhile to warm to strangers, but he took to Samantha and Chris right away. We got lots of photos and videos and it looked like our Gus had a blast at “summer camp!””
“Erica was an awesome pet sitter! Our dog loved her and she took great care of him. She kept us updated on how he was doing, even through a tornado. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kristen was awesome! Set up a time to come and meet the dogs ahead of time and kept us updated with pictures every day. Would absolutely have her watch our place and pups again!”
“Perri did an amazing job with our two dogs and especially our anxious one. She went above and beyond to make him comfortable and taken care of. I would highly recommend her. Multiple pictures and updates so you are always in the know! They doggies are doing great!”
About: Hi! I’m Keirra, a reliable and energetic pet sitter based in Creve Coeur, Missouri, with experience caring for Pugs, Cavapoos, Shih Tzus, Miniature Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and more. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and committed to providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care while following your pet’s routine and treating them like family. I work from home most days, giving me flexible weekday and weekend availability. I also provide frequent photo updates and quick communication so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. If you’re looking for someone dependable, responsive, safety-focused, and full of positive energy, I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra companionship, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Michelle was so great! She took such great care of our Sunny and Arlo! She kept us updated and provided pictures regularly. She made us feel great that our dogs were loved and in great hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Michelle!”
“Ella watched our 2 dogs for the first half of our trip out of the country. She kept us up to date with pictures daily and even asked questions when needed or when she was unsure of something. We have never used a sitter before, due to the nature of one of our dogs, but she made everything so easy and we’ve never felt more comfortable leaving our dogs with someone. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for your fur babies! We plan to use Ella as our sitter for future plans and trips!”
“Karah was great! This was a last-minute trip, and I was concerned about leaving the pup behind with a new person, but she made me feel comfortable immediately. She came the same day for a meet and greet, and I knew her and Oslo would get along swimmingly. She kept me up-to-date with his walks and how he was doing, and I believe her being at my home really helped him take to her quickly. I will definitely use Karah again, and if you are looking for a sitter, I'd recommend her to anyone.”

Chris was great about updating us on our pets. We truly feel like they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would book Chris to watch them without hesitation and highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Oh, and the house was left in spotless condition which was so appreciated!
Izzy is a delightful, caring and conscientious young lady. She spent real time with me during our meet and greet & my dog took to her as if she was her owner. KC is a very timid and fearful baby but warmed up to Izzy like I have never seen. Trustworthy, timely and left my home cleaner than when I left. I would choose her over and over and over again! 💕
Emily was so flexible with us. When our first trip was suddenly canceled, she agreed to come fewer days so we could go somewhere closer. She was great with the two animals a cat and a dog. Both seniors. she sent pictures & the house was impeccable when we returned thank you, Emily. Hoping you’ll stay again if needed.
We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!
Michael is a great guy and animal lover. I am so grateful, he did an great job looking after my 2 dogs and 4 cats house sitting while I was away on a business trip. He took great care of each of my pets and shared lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Michael showed he is reliable and a genuinely nice person. I will for sure request him again for my next trip, my dogs like him very much which makes my life happier as I travel a lot for business and am new to St Louis. Thanks again, Michael.
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Jordan was incredibly accommodating, even when I miscommunicated a few things, and was always kind and understanding. What impressed me most was the time and patience she took to earn the trust of both of my cats. One of my cats is very shy and takes a while to warm up to people, while my other cat can be… a little mean! 😅 She took the time to get to know them both and made sure they were comfortable and cared for in a way that worked for each of them. She also sent plenty of photos and updates, which made me feel so much more relaxed about being away from my cats. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and patient cat sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rock Hill is $25 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $27 per night. 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.

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 Rock Hill 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 Rock Hill 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 Rock Hill 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rock Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
