“Christopher was a great sitter for our 4 month old lab, Hootie! He sent pictures and updates for us while we were away. When we watched our pet cam to check on our pup after he had left, Hootie was fast asleep- which never happens as he has some separation anxiety. We could tell that he had a great time and that Christopher took the time to have play time along with a structured visit! Thanks again!”
“Katie is fantastic and incredibly trustworthy. She took such good care of our furbabies and our home. She guides with so much patience and love. We are so happy we found her.”
About: I have extensive dog sitting experience and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, anxious dogs who need extra patience, and everything in between. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always strive to create a calm, caring environment for them. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving dogs the attention and affection they deserve. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and personality, whether that means lots of exercise and play or quiet companionship and reassurance. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I work full-time, but I carefully plan pet care around my schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care and plenty of love. I’m very organized with my routine and make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and quality attention before and after work, as well as throughout evenings and weekends. Because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, pet sitting is something I intentionally make space for in my life — not something rushed or treated as an afterthought. I’m committed to making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure while keeping owners updated and reassured along the way. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. I’m respectful, responsible, and attentive while staying in someone’s home, and I treat both pets and the home with great care. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals since I was a child. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, rodents, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Started dog sitting/walking/training for my neighbors at age 10. Involved in volunteer and rescue work throughout the years as well. I’ll treat your furry and/or scaly babies just like my own! Willing to walk, groom (bathing/brushing/nails), play, do stop in visits, pet sit in your home, clean cages/tanks, and do light housekeeping. I also have experience with basic dog training. I can teach your pooch basic commands, such as sit, stay, lie down, and shake. I have experience with house training as well. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am located in Rock Hill, and willing to travel within reason I currently work full time, but I am hoping that by using Rover I can change my schedule. I am hoping to pick up enough clients so that I can have a more flexible schedule. I am very courteous of other’s spaces and belongings. I will treat your home and pets just like my own, and I will always treat a client’s home with respect.
“Kalie was fantastic! It was a last minute booking and then we had a significantly delayed flight coming home and Kalie was super responsive and accommodating the whole time.”
“Antonio was great with our nervous/reactive dog, Waylo, and knew not to push to create a relationship. Both Penny and Waylo were in great care, and updates were provided regularly. We felt confident that our dogs were in good hands. We definitely recommend Antonio, and would gladly use his services again.”
“Karleen was fabulous! Our anxious Goldendoodle seemed content while we were away and when we returned home. Karleen sent us photos every day and told us how our girl was doing, so we could feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. The house was spotless when we returned home. I highly recommend Karleen!”
About: I am a dog mom to my 4 year old Lulu (black lab/bull dog mix). I also had a Great Dane and she was a big, gentle girl. I am reliable, a great communicator and will love your dogs like my own. I just moved to Rock Hill from Iowa and used Rover myself for my dog. I work full time from home. I have nights and weekends free so if you need me to take your dog(s) for a walk, coming over a couple times a day to let them out or pet sitting over night, accommodating your pets needs won’t be a problem. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. Keeping their regular routine and clear communication with the pet parents. I am looking forward to meeting you and your dogs.
“India was a phenomenal dog sitter to my pup Norah. She stayed at our house and honestly left it better than she came into it. Norah is so happy after her week with India. I also received daily updates and India offered as many check ins as I wanted - truly catering to me and Norah. During the week, India also went above and beyond when my AC wasn’t working possible. She let me know, was available for a technician to come by, and kept me in the loop the entire time. That is truly above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much India!!! I will 100% be inviting India back in the future.”
About: I’ve pet sat for my neighbors and family members for a few years. I used to pet sit for my aunt a lot and I loved it but she moved away, so I can’t pet sit for her anymore. I had so much fun, and I love spending time and caring for every animal. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets, and watching over them for you! I’m currently unemployed and have plenty of free time to check in and care for your pets. Im free the whole 7 days of the week :) I have 5 furry babies myself, 2 big dog fenced in the backyard and 3 kitties in the house, I also have 3 hermit crabs that I take care of. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of pets even a pig :)
“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 have had animals all my life, dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I'm experienced with younger and older animals as well as giving medicines and other. I'm currently a college student and don't work so I have plenty of time to play with pups / kitties and come by for feedings and other. When pet sitting I typically will go by 2 to 3 times a day for feeding and play. I'm always careful around animals especially when they don't know me, I know some can take some time to warm up! I can do walks, play in house, or a backyard if allowed, and other general care.
“We had a great experience with Madison. She took Luna on 2 nice long walks a day and respected our home. The house was very tidy when we returned from our trip. It was very nice to return to our home after a week away and feel like it was just the way we left it. Madison sent photos and gave me updates on Luna. We will use her again in the future. She is a super sweet young lady.”
About: I used to work at the Human Society of York County! I’ve worked and cared for all types of animals! Working with animals is a life goal of mine! I am currently mostly available any time and any day! Over this summer my schedule is pretty flexible, although I may be out of town some days! I can stay for a while and play with pets or stay overnight if needed. However you need your pets cared for will be more than doable!
“Justin was great! Sent great photos while we were away and was very communicative! The dogs loved him. He left our home clean and took great care of it while we were way. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Mara was wonderful with our Goldendoodle. She was very kind and energetic and matched our dogs enthusiasm for play. We could tell right away her love and care for our pet was just like her own.”

Christopher was a great sitter for our 4 month old lab, Hootie! He sent pictures and updates for us while we were away.

We could tell that he had a great time and that Christopher took the time to have play time along with a structured visit! Thanks again!
India was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Our home was well cared for, and our dogs were never happier! It is such a nice feeling to be able to leave and know that you’re most beloved animals are taken care love as if you were there with them. Thank you again for staying with our girls!
Haley watched Benji for 4 nights and we are so grateful to the communication she gave us as this was the first time leaving him with someone that was not family. It was clear she cared for Benji as if he was her own and was even comfortable dealing with his reactive behaviors which all reactive dog owners know is important. We will definitely use Haley again!
When I have to travel and leave my babies I am comfortable leaving them with Greg. He is patient, loving, caring with them, plays with them and takes them for walks daily. He provides updates daily, sends pics and videos. Deff recommend him and super happy I found him.
Shanea was absolutely wonderful with both our dogs while we were away for over a week and a half. The love and care she provided our dogs and home was outstanding! If we could give a higher rating we would! Our home was left exactly the way we left and our dogs were very well taken care of! From the bottom Of our hearts we are so lucky to have found her! Thank you!
Antonio was awesome! He came on super short notice and immediately put us at ease with his calm demeanor. He asked all the right questions to ensure that he was giving our animals the best care possible. We received timely updates and pictures of our babies. Highly recommend, and we plan to rebook the next time we are out of town!
Jessica does amazing every time with our 2 German shepherds! This is the second time we’ve used her and both times she has taken amazing care of the dogs (and fish!) and cared for our home as well! After 5 days of rain, our backyard was definitely muddy, but we came home to happy dogs and a clean mopped floor and clean guest bed linen! She definitely goes above and beyond compared to some sitters we’ve used in the past. Will definitely continue to use her for all our future needs ⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Rock Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rock Hill on Rover is $55.5 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 2,459 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rock Hill. 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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
