“Kylee was so incredible!!! She watched 4 dogs for a whole week and took such good care of them. She was super responsive and gave me updates! It also was super rainy the last few days and with 4 dogs and our yard is super muddy/ floors not good with mud and dog fur, we fully expected to walk into a filthy house but to our surprise the house was spotless. She went above and beyond to make the house look amazing even in the rain! We really appreciate it and will be absolutely be using her again in the future for any needs we have!”

About: Experienced with dogs and cats, and a lifelong pet owner. I’ve provided both pet and house sitting and understand how important trust is when leaving your pets. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every home and pet with respect. I’m currently working toward becoming a real estate agent, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I prioritize being reliable, communicative, and consistent. As a lifelong pet owner with four cats, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As the owner of two huskies, I understand that pets aren't just animals, they're family. Living with two energetic huskies has given me plenty of experience with long walks, playtime, shedding, and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. My background in the military has taught me responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether it's sticking to your pet's routine, administering simple medications, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own dogs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. My goal is simple: to treat every pet like they're part of my own family and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently serving in a special shore-duty assignment with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I'm often able to adjust my schedule to fit yours. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so they receive the care they're used to at home. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and always prioritize safe walks, secure leash handling, and close supervision during playtime. I also respect every owner's instructions, whether that means following a feeding schedule, administering basic medications, or keeping up with your pet's favorite routines. I believe trust is earned, and I'll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I give my own two huskies

About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid! I have experience with a wide range of pets from a small lizard to a big Great Dane. I worked with all types of animals and know that they are all unique and lovable! I have experience in all kinds of pet care from in home stays to stop in feedings and walks to providing special care like giving medications. I am currently in a part time position so I have a very open schedule for frequent check ins, early mornings and multiple walks! I am also able to do longer overnight stays due to my wide availability. Since I have a lot of experience with different pets I’ll create an open and loving environment for your pet by meeting them where they are and allowing them to grow trust by respecting their space and providing them with the care and attention they are accustomed to!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals my entire life. However, my deep connection/love for animals (specifically dogs) started when i was about 6 years old. My nana (grandma) owned a dog rescue in Georgia named Deep South Canine Rescue and it became like a second home for me. Whether i was cleaning out Kennels or running the dogs , I was having an absolute blast. Since then I have been an ultimate dog/animal lover and my family and friends always ask me to pet sit when they need it because they know I will treat the animals like my own. I hope you will to :) - Also being in the Bft area provides numerous opportunities to take your animals outside! Such as: the sands, the wetlands, throughout Port Royal, The dog park, etc! I am currently enrolled in online school making me available almost all day everyday, including weekends! I do have a job as a server but it should never conflict any responsibilities as it is not every day and not incredibly long shifts! I would give your fur babies as much time as they want! I also am willing to take off work for overnight stays if necessary. I have a fenced in back yard and also a large front yard. I also live in a gorgeous area so dog walks are an absolute yes from me ! I am also 100% okay with crating dogs if that’s what you prefer for your pet. However, i am also eligible to stay at or drive to a residence if preferred! I have many references if needed:)

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old, 70 pound Rottweiler/lab rescue! I have 9 more animals and love being around them! Taking care of other people’s animals definitely helps me to keep from taking in anymore of my own! I recently moved out to st. Helena and am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to provide care! I have 10 animals, 5 of which are fur babies so I take care of them and have plenty of time to check on other animals! In your home I will be sure to make sure their bowls are cleaned and they are provided fresh water. I will be sure to clean up any mess they have made while under my care. I will play with them and make them feel loved!

About: Not just have I grown up around animals of all kinds but I have taken care of several friends and families pets to ensure their well being while the owners were away. I currently am not limited to hours to come to care of your furry babies! I’m willing to work around most people’s needs within almost any hours!. I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit. Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.

“Kylee was a delightful young woman, easy to communicate with and very responsive to Mya. She was excellent at keeping in touch with me both before and during her stay at my house. Mya was exhausted the next day which is a definite sign that Kylee had been very attentive to more than her basic needs, but gave her activity via petting, scratching and walking. I was 100 percent pleased with Kylee and will request her again when the next opportunity presents itself.”

About: I have rescued dogs all of my life. I don't know that I have any more experience than others but I don't have any less...and I KNOW I have a love for animals. It was almost the downfall of my last marriage...I somehow got on a death row email from the shelter in Greenville and came home with ALL the babies. They took over the bed. I lovingly became known as the Travelers Rest "shelter". I believe whole heartedly that we do not deserve animals...that they are WAY too good for use mere humans. I do not believe in "spanking" dogs but I do believe some dogs respond better to different types of learning...i.e, corrective vs. positive reinforcement. I will never override a pet parents directives no matter what I believe. PLEASE do NOT take my repeat score/minimal reviews as a bad sign (I book a lot outside of Rover). I love my clients and their parents and we become fast frands! Any will GLADLY give a reference we just book repeat off of here to save everyone the service fees once trust is established. I do ask that if you are boarding or if your babies are in daycare that they are up to date on all vaccinations ( including the Bordetella vaccine) I just want to keep everyone's babies safe. I am currently a stay at home dog mom to my 1 senior dog and 2 others so I am available to love on your babies anytime the need the smooches. I have a fenced in yard and I can easily crate or gate off areas in your home that you want in or out of. I can feed them and work on obedience (I am not a certified trainer) but I have worked with and rehabilitated some mild cases. I am currently at home all day so I can give your baby/babies all the love and cuddles needed. Plus, all the potty breaks and treats needed Like I stated earlier, I am currently at home all day so I can give you baby/babies all the love and cuddles they need. I have a fenced in yard for lots of play time

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Helena Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 206 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Helena Island. 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 Helena Island 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 Helena Island 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 Helena Island 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 Saint Helena Island. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
