“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”
“Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!”
“Emily is fantastic! She was so wonderful with my two rambunctious pups and provided regular updates. Left my house in great condition. Would absolutely recommend her to for anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++”
“Highly highly recommended! Melanye went above and beyond and is by far the best sitter I have found in this app! She took extra care of my pup who needed to go to the vet and made sure she never felt alone. I received daily updates and photos. Melanye is very kind and caring and my dog trusted her immediately. Thank you so much Melanye!”
“Yet again we used Milena to watch our dog in our home and she was amazing. He is very anxious and territorial and she is so patient and understanding with him. She’s like the only person he lets into our house. I so appreciate Milena and love that we can use her to watch Bodie and trust everything will go smoothly!!”
“Sarah is a great pet sitter, all 4 of my animals seemed to be very comfortable with her. She left the house very tidy when we came home after a long weekend. We have hired her twice now and she will be out first choice next time we need a sitter”
“We found Alissa to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She treated our dog and cat as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adored her and that means everything to us. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love.”
“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”
“Kelsey did a great job watching my dog! She was very communicative and sent pictures! I really appreciate how she not only cared for my pup but also my home! Highly recommend her!”
“Andy was so great and really saved us! Our dogsitter backed out just two days before we were meant to leave for a trip, and Andy jumped right in. He was so sweet with our Luna and took great care of both her and our house. He was very communicative and kept us updated throughout his stay. We were able to relax and enjoy our family trip, knowing our pup and our home were safe in Andy's care. We could not recommend him more highly - Andy is fantastic!!”
“Marshall was absolutely fantastic with my reactive dog, Hayley! It’s clear he truly cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. He was proactive with communication, sending daily photos and updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Not only was Hayley happy and relaxed when we returned, but Marshall also left my place just as clean as I had left it! I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and tidy sitter!”
“I could not be happier that I chose Darian to stay with my dog Enzo while I had to go out of town. I was nervous about leaving him and she calmed me down while providing excellent care. Do not hesitate to hire Darian she is simply amazing.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Creek
Ceara was a life saver after another sitter cancelled last minute she came through for us so we could get away for the week and our golden retriever absolutely loved her from the first time we met! It's so important to feel good about the person taking care of our fur baby (that thinks he is the center of the universe and a little spoiled) but I instantly felt at ease with Ceara! She has two pups of her own and didn't mind our dogs early morning schedule. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again as we travel often! 🐾💕🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandy Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sandy Creek on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 765 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandy Creek. 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 Sandy Creek 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 Sandy Creek 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 Sandy Creek 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.
