“Monica was amazing! She came through for me pretty much last minute and took phenomenal care of my boy. He loved spending time with her and Basil (Monica’s dog, they are practically twins). She administered his allergy meds and sent me photos and videos of my pup which meant a lot to me because I missed him so much. I absolutely recommend Monica, she is AMAZING!”
“Caroline was a wonderful house/dog sitter while I was away on a business trip. She was super communicative and took great care of my dog Nola! The house was in great condition when I returned as well, could not have asked for more. I've already rebooked her for future trips! Thank you so much Caroline!”
“Heidi did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly dog (Josie) who needs multiple medications at various times of the day. Heidi got the meds into her (not an easy task) without trouble, understood Josie's limitations and worked with them, and quite obviously made much of her. After just a few days, Josie was sleeping on the bed. Heidi also kept us well informed, sent us marvelous photos, and left the house spotless. We'll be calling again.”
“Erika went over and beyond for me and my baby. She was extremely attentive, alerted me to a rash that turns badly really fast and now he is on antibiotics. Very thorough, lots of updates and pictures. Could not have had a better person take care of your babies.”
“Tonya was wonderful with our two pups. She stayed with them for several days while we were traveling. It’s pretty obvious our dogs warmed right up to her based on all of the cuddle pics she sent. She sent check ins and asked whenever a question came up. Plus the house was neat and tidy when we returned home. We trust her to watch our fur babies and will absolutely work with her again!”
“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 two dogs! One chocolate lab and a shitzu. I love animals and wanted to do something with pets. So far I’ve took care of a sweet cat for around a week and loved it! I have also taken care of my friend’s dogs! I am currently going to college and only to campus Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am mainly home Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays so I have plenty of time to watch your pets!! I don’t have any pets with me at the moment, but I might bring my dog sometimes over the months. I do not have a fence currently.
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!
“This is the second time we’ve used Sara to watch our two dogs. She does a great job of keeping us updated with pictures and texts. Highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Nicole was extremely communicative and took great care of my cats! She checked in frequently with updates and was very precise with following the instructions we gave her for caring for our senior cat and small kitten who required extra care. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone!”
“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! :)”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
“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.”
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner and have over 15 years of professional experience working with animals. My journey began as a volunteer at an animal shelter and grew into roles as a pet groomer and veterinary technician. Currently, I am pursuing a double master’s degree with a focus on animal ethics, welfare, and conservation. In my free time, I dedicate myself to supporting local conservation initiatives and caring for animals of all kinds. With the flexibility of graduate school, I now have the opportunity to expand my pet sitting and dog walking services. I am currently providing cat sitting and dog walking for several clients in the West Ashley area and am excited to expand my services to West Ashley, John’s Island, Ravenel, Hollywood, and downtown Charleston. I love caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other small animals. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I am trained to administer medications thanks to my veterinary technician background. I also offer baths and nail trims for both cats and dogs. While I am retired from full grooming, I provide “mini-makeover” services such as teeth cleaning, ear cleaning, and paw pad shave-outs. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to help care for your pets! I am currently a double masters student and a TA part time. I also have private cat sitting and dog walking clients. I have plenty of time to take on new clients as my main school schedule is twice a week in the evening. I do teach downtown three days a week for 3 hour blocks but have plenty of free time otherwise. I promise transparency, trust and commitment to taking care of any pet or animal under my supervision. As a double masters student with a focus on animal ethics, welfare and conservation, I promise the best care for your pets. Pets are family and should be treats as so. I am experienced with giving oral and intravenous medication for animals. I have previous experience as a vet technician and 15 plus years of animal husbandry skills.
About: I’ve taken care of pets (dogs, cats, geckos) big and small since I was young. I absolutely love nothing more than walking in to the house and getting such a warm (and sometimes slobbery) greeting. Traveling with pets can be hard, so let me spoil your fur babies so you can enjoy yourself! I currently work in a restaurant so I’m pretty flexible Monday-Thursday. When I do work, it’s not until 4 pm so I’m available all day before that and I’m off anywhere between 10 pm and midnight. I have tons of free time for drop in visits, and can house sit with no problems as well as long as me going to work at 4 pm into the night is okay. I am more than happy to stay in your home while you’re gone to make sure your fur babies have constant love and affection while you’re gone! I have no problem letting them outside throughout the day, going on walks, feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, giving them pets, etc. I can also do numerous drop in visits if that works better, offering all the same services! I have my own pets at my house so I unfortunately can’t bring them here, but I’d be more than happy to come to your home!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shell Point is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shell Point
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!
Leaving a nearly 15 year old dog behind for a week is never easy, but Jess made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She stayed with both our senior pup and our retriever mix and took wonderful care of them. Our older dog requires daily medication and a little extra attention, and Jess handled everything without issue. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay. We received daily updates and photos as well. Thank you again Jess for taking care of our pups!!
I came home to a happy and healthy doggo, she updated with pics as needed and responded very quickly to any texts. Left the apartment spotless and even had everything already cleaned in the wash before leaving. Will definitely be trusting Alicia with my dog again!
We are so lucky to find Lydia as our Pet Sitter. My two large dogs fell in love with her. My Shepherd does not take to strangers at all, but after meeting Lydia, she had him laying on the floor beside her while she was petting him. I was truly amazed and happy knowing that I would be leaving both of them with someone who they liked. I felt very confident in her, and she did not let me down. My house was as it was when I left. She had taken her sheets off the bed and had them on my washer, which I really appreciated. She respected our home and our beloved and yes spoiled brigs. We will definitely will be using Lydia again.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
