About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats and I am happy to help! I am home for the summer so I will be available pretty much anytime of day throughout the week and weekend! Message me for more detailed info! I am a very neat and tidy person and always make it a priority to clean up after myself and the animals when I am pet sitting, doing check ins, etc!
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“Jayda D sent daily pics and took wonderful care of our fur baby and our home. Walking through the front door after vacation in to a clean house with a happy, healthy pup was such a relief. Thank you Jayda.”
“Marina is absolutely amazing!! I can't recommend her enough. Our pup can be difficult (our fault) and she had zero issues! Stayed in touch and provided the cutest pictures. Nala was very happy and well taken care of. We came home to our house looking nicer than when we left plus the most adorable framed pictureof Nala!! I seriously can't say enough about Marina. If she's available, request her! I hope to use her in the future!!”
About: My name is Lena and I live in Seneca, SC. I currently work as a licensed veterinary technician at a local animal hospital and have previous experience working in boarding as well. I have a dog and 5 cats, but growing up my family was always centered around having animals like fish, birds, cats, and dogs. I would love to meet and care for your furry friends! My current work schedule is four 10hr shifts. If their care lands on a work day I’m available for before shift, during my lunch break, and after shift. I may have to work a Saturday morning but that is only until 8am-noon. I can work your fur babies schedule with mine as best I can and what you are comfortable with. I’d love to chat and see if I’m able to make it work for you. I currently am not able to host in home boarding due to being in an apartment at this time and not having the adequate space and yard.
“Bella is wonderful! We have a complicated household, with multiple cats of varying ages and a dog. She was great with all of them, and our dog is especially fond of her. When we returned from our trip, everything was in great condition, including our plants outside in 95 degree heat.”
“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I dog sit frequently and therefore have been exposed to a variety of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. I feel very comfortable around dogs and am competent at reading their behavior. I also have previous experience volunteering at a shelter and grew up with 2 family dogs. I currently am in graduate school for Physical Therapy at MUSC, so I have a consistent weekly class schedule, but have evenings and weekends available for your pups! I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, safety, and clear communication with the owner. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—this includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions the owner provides. In a client’s home, I make sure the pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while also keeping the space clean and secure. I provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Very professional and trustworthy. Tyler sent numerous pictures of our dog and kept us informed on how the weekend was going. We felt 100% comfortable with Tyler staying in our home! We would definitely recommend Tyler for any dog sitting service you may need.”
“I always trust Julia to help me with my Teo fur babies. She sends me pictures and videos. I know my babies are in good hands with her. I have know. Her for 15 years.”
About: If any of my friends and family had one to say about me, it would be the fact that I love animals and caring for them. I am always the first person they call whenever they need a petsitter! I have always had pets in my life ever since I was a kid and have had a large range of experience with different pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, fish, goats, donkeys, and horses. I love animals of all species, sizes, shapes, and colors and am dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Although this site is designed more for dogs/cats, I am comfortable caring for all types of pets you may have! My most recent animal quest was fostering 5 feral cat/kittens, rehabilitating them, and finding them quality homes after providing them safe harbor for 4 months. I also have a lot of experience in the horse industry, I've worked at an equestrian center and owned horses myself for about 12 years of my life and know all of the ins and outs to equine care. Dogs are also a breeze for me, I have experience caring for all life stages from puppies to seniors. My dog Luna is only 2 years old herself so I went down that road of leash & potty training myself not too long ago! My family also has a 10 year old senior Labrador Retriever, Scout, that I often care for as well. Overall, I would like to say that I am very empathetic towards animals and have a magic touch when it comes to providing for their needs, comfort, and happiness. I would love to share my love and hospitality with your pets as well! I currently work part-time and have frequent availability to spend time with your beloved pets! I'm currently available all day on Mondays, anytime before 3 on Tuesdays, and all day on Wednesdays. However I do work in a restaurant, so my weekend availability does fluctuate each week. But don't worry, I will do everything I can to work with you and make myself available when you need me! I live in a 2-story townhouse with 2 spare bedrooms, so needless to say there is plenty of room for your pet. I have 2 cats Sushi and Kumi, that are dog and cat friendly, as well as a 2 year old Lab-Catahoula mix, Luna, who is super friendly and playful towards other dogs and cats as well! She loves playing with others, so your dog definitely wont be lonely! I will disclose that I'm aware that some people aren't comfortable with leaving their pets with other animals they aren't familiar with, so if that is the case then no problem! I have a garage and 2 spare bedrooms that I can keep them separated in while also giving them all the attention they require. I do not have a yard unfortunately, but there are a few walking trails in close proximity my neighborhood that I take my Luna for walks on all the time! There is also a dog park 10 minutes away that I can take your pet to at any time. I am fully capable of accommodating for all of your pets needs, I have an automatic water bowl that is cleaned and refilled daily, multiple food bowls, toys, cat trees, treats, and leashes, as well as a large crate to house your pet as deemed necessary. If it is required that I care for your pet in your home, I will assure you that I am great at following specific care routines and fully understand why they may be necessary.
About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing pets’ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“We LOVE Gracie! This was our first time ever having a house sitter for our dogs and she did amazing! She kept us updated with pictures of our babies and constantly let me knew how they were doing! Will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Seneca
Madeline was A GEM! She took great care of Dakota…he was SO EXCITED to see her the second day. She was on time or early and very easy to talk to. Most importantly, we ran into a jam on another day and Madeline jumped in to help with a gracious attitude. We highly recommend!
Hannah did a great job with our three dogs. One of our German Shepherds was on a medicine that upset his stomach and she had to clean up several messes. Above and Beyond. We also have a young shepherd who is very energetic. Handled him well. We will definitely book her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seneca
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Seneca on Rover is $34.27 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seneca. 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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.
