“Hannah was so great! She helped me out last minute and even squeezed in time to come meet Paxton before staying with him. She had good communication and left the house just as we had left it! :)”
“Amy was an excellent petsitter! Our dog was very happy when we came home from our trip and Amy took good care of our house. Amy was highly communicative with us, reached out when she had questions and set us a couple of pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & dogs all rescued. I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures. I am semi-retired and have a shop on Etsy and TPT. My schedule is very flexible. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pet like they are my own, with love and respect. Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!
“Sabrina was wonderful and the dogs loved her! She picked up our mail and pulled the trash can inside. We're very picky who watches are pups and we will definitely ask Sabrina back.”
“Nicole was fantastic! She took great care of my pets, including my diabetic cat! She came to meet them and learned how to give my cat insulin. She provided lots of updates and pictures that made me comfortable leaving my pets with her! Would HIGHLY recommend!”
“Isiah was WONDERFUL! He was so thorough from the first time we chatted through his stay at my house with my dog. He’s communicative, kind, and dedicated. He allayed any anxiety I had about leaving my pup in someone else’s care and I appreciate him so much. I absolutely will use Isiah again (forever moving forward!!!).”
About: Not only have I taken care of neighbors pets but also have two pets of my own! I have always had a soft spot for any type of animal and find such happiness being with them! My boyfriend and I typically do the pet sitting together :) I currently work remotely so I can pick up and work from anywhere! With my job I have full availability to care for animals anytime! For my clients I love to make sure their fur babies feel completely comfortable with me while their parents are away! I love taking them on walks or simply playing with them in the yard to get their energy out and have a play date!
About: My dream is to have a dog farm. Aka a house full of dogs that get to run around and live their best possible lives. But for now, I’m happy to spend time with and take care of your fur children. I have experience with dogs that have health issues, back problems, seizures, administering medication, picky eaters etc. Nothing really scares me. I work from home so watching your pup will be a breeze and they’ll get a lot of extra attention. I work remotely full time so your pup gets extra attention! I’m typically a homebody so the evenings are typically chill and time for cuddles. We have two fenced-in yards (front and back) and plenty of indoor space. Dogs are welcome on the furniture here but I’ll follow your house rules.
About: Hi! Little back story about me is that I grew up with parents who bred Yorkies and Schnauzers. Don’t worry, they were very loving, caring, and genuine caretakers who ensured each loving pup went to a GOOD home. Because of that, I have years of experience with dogs of all ages. I also have my own sweet baby who is an Australian Shepherd! Hi, my name is Kenzie and I am lucky enough to have a very flexible schedule as a speech language pathologist to be able to walk your pups. I have a sweet baby boy that’s an Australian Shepherd as well so I am a loving dog mom feel free to reach out. It depends on the fur babies parents, but I can accommodate based off what you are needing. I have no problem getting your baby out of a crate/putting them in one. All I ask is that I am made aware of dos and don’ts that make mine and your fur babies experience easier!
About: 🐾 Looking for loving, reliable care for your pup? I’d love to help! Whether you need overnight care, walks, or playtime, your dog will be treated like family in our home. Just a 1 dog household. ( 8 pound dog that thinks he is 89 pounds) Chief Tail Wagger, Oliver, is always on duty, so your pup must be comfortable and enjoy the company of other dogs. Send me a message to see if we’d be a great fit for your furry family member! 🐶❤️ I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays and I am home most weekends unless I am traveling. I have a flexible schedule and your pet will remain active. I follow the clients instructions as far as feedings , if they need extra love and attention , which they would get anyway…regular snuggles are necessary. All dogs are in the bed and on the couch unless they have a preference and would rather sleep elsewhere. It’s the dogs world and we are just living in it. The dogs will go on regular walks and the pavement will be tested if too hot. I have a grass yard to walk around in. If there are any medications. I am an expert! I have given every type of medication to my pets.
“She was friendly, communicative, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I appreciated her responsiveness and the effort she put into caring for my dogs while I was away. Thank you again for your help!”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have cared for a wide variety of pets with different needs. This includes amputees and FIV cats as well. I work fully remote which allows me the flexibility to house and pet sit pretty much any time and any day of the week! I recently moved back to Charleston and I’m looking to grow my connections! I’ve lived with cats and dogs most of my life, but do not have any pets of my own at this time. I would prefer to let your pet stay at your home where they are most comfortable, and travel as needed, but can accommodate accordingly.
“Megan was absolutely amazing with our dog and cat for a week! They absolutely adored her and she took wonderful care of them. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins and had us completely at ease. We will definitely be booking Megan again!”
“Mia took great care of our pup and bunny for two weeks while we were out of the country. She communicated often and with photos. Daily exercise for our pup, administered medication, and helped out in a pinch when our pup needed to go to the vet. Took great care of the house too. Would absolutely rebook.”

Monica was excellent. She took great care of mac.send pictures of him. Communicated very well. Let me know what our schedule is going to be with Mac. I came home to a clean house just I had left it.I We’ll definitely book her again iand I recommend her to anyone that wants a great sitter for their pet.
Karlie was excellent! She kept us updated with photos and messages of our babies, spent time playing with them, and took our dog on short walks. Her communication was excellent, and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. 🐾❤️ We will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!
James was phenomenal. Can't say more than enough. Our cat and senior dog were very well cared for. Our cat, is normally mad when I leave even for work and will hide in response but when we arrived home, he happily greeted us. Even funnier, as we settled in for the night, our dog came out lookong for him, and we know exactly where he sat because he went to that spot, sniffed around and settled there as if he was waiting for him to come back. It was very sweet and we were touched and comforted by that display (our dog normally sticks to my son when he's home). We will absolutely ask him to sit again when the need arises. Thank you 1000 times over.
THE BEST!!! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! She was an amazing communicator, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and spent quality time with our pup instead of just stopping by. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for and loved while we were away. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
I normally don’t leave reviews, but Brittany truly deserves one. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, knowing my dog, Lola, was in such caring hands. Brittany is organized, punctual, kind, and genuinely loves what she does and it shows. Lola was so well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will absolutely book with her again every time I need a sitter. She is, without a doubt, the best caregiver I’ve found since joining Rover. Highly recommended!
I cannot recommend John highly enough for house and pet sitting. While I was traveling overseas, one of my dogs, Charlie, experienced a serious medical emergency involving multiple seizures. Being thousands of miles away, I was incredibly anxious and felt helpless. John responded immediately with professionalism, compassion, and calm under pressure. He quickly adapted to Charlie’s changing medical needs, coordinated veterinary care, administered medications as directed, closely monitored his condition, and kept me informed every step of the way. His clear communication and thoughtful updates provided tremendous peace of mind during an incredibly stressful situation. At the same time, John made sure Kimber continued to receive the same level of attention, exercise, and care, ensuring both dogs’ routines were maintained despite the unexpected circumstances. It’s one thing to care for pets during normal circumstances—it’s another to confidently manage a medical crisis with such dedication and composure. John’s reliability, compassion, and genuine concern for my dogs went far beyond my expectations. Knowing he was there allowed me to focus on getting home while trusting that Charlie and Kimber were receiving exceptional care. I would not hesitate to have John care for my home and pets again and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, knowledgeable, and truly invested in the well-being of their animals.
Emma is truly the best of the best. She is not only super smart, only needs to be told something 1x, instantly makes you feel confident she can handle situation that arises, but is kind and professional, punctual, and a great communicator. We and our dogs admire her tons. We look forward to having her back!!!
We were out of the country for 13 days and it was so helpful having Erik take care of our house and 3 aussies, one of them being a super high energy puppy. The dogs were happy with him and the house was in great shape on our return. He was easy to communicate with and kept us updated with pics and videos. Highly Recommended!

The average cost of House Sitting in Shell Point is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night.

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 Shell Point 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 Shell Point 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 Shell Point 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
