“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Raised with all kinds of pets, and I now care for two dogs and regularly dog sit. Experienced with seniors, puppies, and personalized, loving care. I currently work part-time and am available for pet sitting Monday through Friday. I am available from 8am-10pm. I also offer overnight care. 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.
About: I’ve taken in two dogs from the shelter and trained both of them myself. I focus on giving each dog personalized care based on their personality and needs. I’m good with puppies and older dogs, since I have both. If a dog likes a slower pace, I’ll pay extra attention to that and slow down for them. I am currently home every day throughout the week, so I am able to fit your pets into whatever schedule you may need. I can come by and let dogs out multiple times a day or just stop by for a walk. I’m also able to watch your pup for days at a time if needed. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs that get along very well with dogs of any size. They are both male, under 55 pounds, and neutered. I’m also able to crate your dog if needed, and I have a decently large crate available.
“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!”
“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.”
“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: 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.
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
About: I’ve been around plenty of small animals and animals are my world!! I’m a pet care tech for dogs at a daycare/boarding facility. I recently graduated from undergrad and work at an animal daycare/boarding facility. I work roughly 4 days a week or sometimes three it depends. My mission is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and protected while in my care. I would treat your baby as if they were my own.
“Sharon went above and beyond caring for my fur babies!! Extremely attentive to both of their special needs and was Johnny on the spot answering questions and providing pictures, as well as keeping my updated during the day of how things were going. She's a rockstar and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Christine was fabulous with her week stay with our dog Harper. She communicated often and I was highly confident in how she would take care of our fur baby. She went above and beyond to wash the linens and our house was spotless. We be booking with Christine again!”
“Absolutely loved Morganne and her thorough care of our pup! She was communicative, knowledgeable, caring and keep us updated and at ease. I can’t say enough about how amazing she is! Thank you!”
About: I offer dog walking and pet sitting! I love all animals and do not have a preference on what type of dog you have as long as he or she is friendly! I have open availability just let me know when you need a pet sitter.My work schedule changes from day shift and night shift but I live 5 minutes from work. I don’t have to deal with traffic after work so it won’t take me long to get to you! I adore animals more then humans. I am more of a cat person but dogs are cool too. Does yours listen? Is he playful? Does he enjoy being outside? I love being outside! I think me and your dog will get a long great! I’ll have plenty of time for the furry friends on the weekends! Seeing their smiling faces would make my day. Let me make them happy. I can’t care for pets in my home. I would follow protocol for your house if necessary. I want the dog happy and comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Helena Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 210 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.
