“My dog loved Alex, and my cat even warmed up to her. She was great- very flexible & accommodating. She took my dog on lots of walks and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left. Definitely recommend & plan to book again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!
“Heather was GREAT!!! It was our first time leaving our dog Alfie in over a year and I was feeling just as anxious as him! I knew when Heather stopped over for the meet and great she would do so good with him! Over our weekend away, she sent several pictures and texts knowing everything was ok at home. I really feel that she comforted and cared for my Alfie like he was her own. I would definitely recommend her! She went above and beyond in every way!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was in middle school and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time student at USC, so I typically only have about two in-person classes each day. Outside of school and my social life, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m unable to have pets stay overnight at my home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and can follow any safety instructions or routines you provide.
“Alina was wonderful! She communicated with us regularly throughout the week, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and made sure everything was taken care of for both our dogs and our home. She was friendly, reliable, and our dogs absolutely loved her. We were so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Animals are special creatures who deserve special care and love. I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits since I was old enough to talk. Specifically, I've been hired by many friends, family, and friends of friends to pet sit as well as house sit! I am a kind and strong person who has most experience caring for dogs in all walks of life, including administering medication and special care to a large and elderly dog with blindness and cervical spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler Syndrome). I myself have 3 cat children (an inseparable brother-sister combo named Biscuits and Gravy, and an elderly cat named Feeny). I most enjoy caring for animals in their own homes/spaces where they can feel comfortable and keep their known routines. I have an intuitive approach to pets and a deep sense of integrity and honesty. I consider myself lucky to interact with as many beautiful pet children as I can! I am currently available Monday-Friday for before work (any time before 7:30) and after work (any time after 5:30). I am usually fully available on weekends, unless I have some other engagements. I offer care in your own home to ensure your pet feels safe and has as little of break in routine as possible without their owners. I have the utmost integrity and honesty. I am a strong, astute, sensitive, and confident person who will care for your pet as my own.
“Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.”
“Chauncey was absolutely amazing! She did an excellent job of communicating and sending us pictures everyday! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety so when we got the first picture on the day we left, and saw Teddy actually eating her food!!!…I knew she was in great hands and I didn’t have worry while on vacation! Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Charlotte was outstanding! I sent multiple requests. Charlotte responded almost immediately. The introduction was scheduled and went smoothly. Charlotte was very helpful additionally by offering hotel and dining options. Charlotte and my dog Kiki really hit it off well. I felt comfortable leaving Kiki with Charlotte. I was more than pleased with Charlotte. I would book with her again, and highly recommend Charlotte.”
“Haley took care of our 5 cats and 1 dog during an overnight visit. All of our kids seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Our extremely shy cats even came out shortly after she arrived -- this means they felt very safe with her. We were impressed; she has a demeanor that makes pets feel very safe. She took great care of everyone, and also gave medication to one of our cats. She sent several photos of our kids, which we appreciated.”
About: Have an energetic pup who needs someone who can keep up? I’d love to help! I’ve had my own dog, Dallas, since I was 10, and my family currently has three Boxers, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic dogs. I love going on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, but I’m just as happy to cuddle and relax with your pet. I’ve also regularly pet sat for four families, caring for up to three cats and two large dogs in one home, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines and needs. I love taking pictures and sending cute updates while you’re away, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a college student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule! My only set commitments are classes: Monday and Wednesday from 2:20–3:35 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:05–11:20 AM and 2:50–4:05 PM. Everything else is extracurricular and can be adjusted around pet-care needs. Fridays and weekends are completely open, and I’m generally flexible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find times that work best for both of us! I have a fully fenced in, chain-link backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play, with supervision. I don’t have a crate, but I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide about where they’re most comfortable resting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, supervise outdoor time, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Andrews
Michael and his wife Tracy are amazing! We were in a real bind this weekend with a planned vacation for me and a family emergency for my husband and they were able to help us out. Plus they take care of our dogs very well, even though our pups can be a bit of a handful! Thanks again Michael and Tracy!!
Sue was the absolute best. She stayed with our two mini dachshunds for a week, and they did so well with her! She communicated often and sent lots of photos! She was incredibly conscientious and worked with all their little quirks with such care and kindness. We will absolutely reach out to her again! Dempsey and Dermot are Sue fans!
I cannot express in words the peace of mind we had while Stephanie watched our service animals for us, in the hotel. It was great being able to go for a bit, out unassisted and search for rental homes, where if we took our service dogs, we risked being discriminated against. She came on short notice and was affordable.So, it was nice to have some human help too, sometimes! Anyways, we will most definitely be booking with her again, so long as she is available! I highly recommend her. She was very professional and was a natural.
Emma took wonderful care of Baloo while I was away! She kept my house clean, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. It was clear that Baloo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed for both my dog and my home. I would absolutely book with Emma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Valarie is the best! She is trustworthy and reliable. I feel so much better knowing that she is staying with our dog Ryder while we are away. She is great about keeping me updated with pictures and messages and always leaves the house neat and clean. She’s the best! I highly recommend her.
Melissa is such a caring sitter, she is professional and respectful and paid very close attention to every detail to ensure Sky's wellness. She consistently communicated with me throughout the 2 weeks she stayed with Sky, which made me feel at ease and was able to truly relax knowing Sky was well taken care of. Melissa is very reliable and left the house in pristine condition, everything clean and even took care of my plants. Thanks so mich, Melissa!
We met with Kelly before our trip. She was VERY good with both of our boys. We were very comfortable with leaving her at our home to take care of them. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kelly. Kelly provided walks, playtime and lots of snuggles which allowed us to enjoy our family reunion. Thank you so much Kelly!!
Thrace is a wonderful sitter. My boys took to her right away at our meet & greet, and were obviously happy campers upon return. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, and her response time is fast, both of which are so appreciated. Thrace was very respectful of our home, as well as the boys’ routine. I won’t hesitate to rebook with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Andrews is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $84 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.
As of October 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Andrews. 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 Saint Andrews 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 Saint Andrews 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 Saint Andrews 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.
