“Conecia was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was super responsive from the start and had fabulous communication with us throughout. I usually worry when we leave our pets with someone new, but I had absolutely zero concern while we were gone. Conecia is professional, reliable, so very kind and took such great care of our pets and our home. We are so lucky to have found her and will definitely be using her the next time we go out of town. I appreciated the updates and pictures and knowing that my pets were in very competent hands while we were gone.”
“I truly cannot say enough about how great Jessica was! She made sure I was updated thoroughly throughout the weekend! She definitely went above and beyond! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs running around always, but did not start caring for other people’s pets until I was about 16. Since then I’ve had many home-stay and visiting pet sitting jobs! I’m an animal lover and have ease warming up to animals, even ones that need a little extra attention. I also have no problem doing some household chores that you may need done while you’re away! I’m currently working very minimally on my own accord, so I have availability 7 days a week! That means I’m free to spend as much time with your pets as they need. I’m also very flexible should plans change or if you need a last minute cover. In your home, I will be extremely respectful of your space. I am sure to use only what I’ll need to ensure your pet is well cared for happy :). As mentioned previously, if you need anything aside from animal care during the time of hire, I am happy to keep your household maintained for your return.
“Good communication and very attentive. Asked questions about my pet to get information that hadn't even occurred to me to provide, but was good to share. I will be sure to check his schedule the next time I have to go out of town!”
“Patty is a kind and genuine person. She is wonderful with dogs. She was the first person to stay with our dog and we were worried that things might not go smoothly but we returned to a happy dog and Patty had sent pictures to keep us updated on their activities. We will be repeat clients!”
“Alma is absolutely the best! I have a LOT of anxiety leaving my pets especially my puppy. I never had a moments worry with Alma. Her communication was excellent. The peace of mind she gave me was priceless. I definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as pet sitting others since I was a kid! I’m able and happy to walk, feed, bathe etc.! I’m currently spending most of my time applying for jobs as I transition between careers so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and love filling my time doing so. In your home I’m respectful of the rules you set for your pets and will always follow any direction that concerns their safety and health!
“Just had Kitty stay with our two dogs for a few days. First time for us having someone come to the home and it could not have gone smoother. She was there all the times she said she would be & provided pictures and great communication. She went over and above in her care for them. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. I will definitely use Kitty again.”
“Caroline stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of my four cats. She did a good job and even though they were standoffish much of the time (cats!), she did convert Rogue by the end!”
“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'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: Hello, I'm excited to welcome your fur buddy into our home. We will love them as our very own and keep them happy while your away. I've owned dogs since I was in elementary and have provided care for my family and friends. I work a flexible, hybrid schedule which makes it convenient to be available care for our fur guest. I'm off every weekend and will have a laid back daily routine for them. Walks, playtime, outside play and of course snuggles. I will accommodate each and every pups needs. I have a very safe home. Our back yard is fenced in with tons of running and exploring space. I will NOT keep aggressive dogs. If you know your dog is aggressive and doesn't get along with other dogs, please do not choose me. I have to ensure the safety for all of my babies. (Pups) As an extra precaution I ask for an updated picture of your dog's shots record. This provides transparency for all parties. I want to make sure that all if my babies are safe and healthy at all times.
“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!”
“Amy is fantastic! She watched our cat, Black Fury, for a week and did an incredible job. She’s a “cat whisperer” who managed to win over our shy boy, and her daily photos/updates, kept us smiling. She also went above and beyond by keeping the house tidy, taking out the trash and bringing in our deliveries. Coming home to a clean house and a happy cat was the perfect end to our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve personally loved and cared for numerous fur and scaly children throughout the vast majority of my life, whether it’s reptiles, dogs, or cats, I have owned and loved each and every one of them. I currently have 2 dogs, a highly energetic and jumpy Black Labrador Retriever Mix (Rutt Butt), and an equally energetic, but 26x more friendly and goofy Pittie Mix (Roofie Doofie). I also have two cats, one loves people and dogs, and the other just loves me and the dogs (terrified of new people). I also have a male Bearded Dragon named Groot, and a baby Sulcatta Tortoise named Oogway! That is the list of who I currently love and live with. I have been working with my Lab and Pittie mix with behavior training since the since the Rutt was a puppy and since I adopted Rufus in early 2025. I’ve consistently kept them structured with simple high energy break commands, long wait, increased food/treat drive, and all-around confidence and morale boost to any low self-esteem. I am currently working on Rover part time, so I will be devoting my days off from work to your pet(s) and their needs. I am wanting to grow this into my own personal side-business as there is nothing that I consider better, than a well-trained pet under high stress environments. I have 2 overly and aggressively friendly dogs. Rutt and Rufus are some of the biggest sweethearts when it comes to meeting new people as well as new furry friends. Rutt has lived with cats his entire life, and Rufus took a bit, but he is finally completely indifferent to life with cats and loves to play with everyone! All owners and their dogs during boardings, or play dates, have to plan for atleast a 30min to an hour meet and greet and orientation so that both yours and my needs are met during visits. I am always in control during the situations, such as I am ever-vigilant of slight non verbal cues and projections yours and my pets put off in order to blossom a happy and stimulating and playful environment. I currently have a house in the Burton area with a beautiful and quaint neighborhood loop well away from all major highways and roadways. I also have about 20-30 acres that are heavily wooded with some managed trails throughout behind my house that I will be more than happy to explore with your pets taking them through for enrichment and training. I will also be in total touch with you as an owner, and me as a sitter. I know that I would love to have pictures and videos of my pet’s life throughout their day with someone new, and I would be more than willing to send you pictures and videos through Snapchat, text, or however you prefer. I encourage the youth and playfulness of each pet and I hope they can achieve their potential. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. I have two dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon, and a sulcatta tortoise. Each of my wonderful animals have different daily needs and requirements that I strive to meet so they can be the happiest animals and meet their full potential. I have 0.5acres of open backyard that is pushed up to about 20 acres of woodlands directly behind my house. I take my own animals on daily enrichment walks through the forest to aide them in their confidence and better their motor skills.

At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide pet sitting in your home where your pet feels most comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Helena Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 222 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.

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.
