“Kenzie is awesome! We have an older dog on multiple medications and she managed her perfectly. She is kind, loves dogs and communicated well with us while we were away. We felt super comfortable leaving our girl with Kenzie.”
“Jenny always goes above and beyond when caring for our pups! We are worry free when way and always come home to happy puppies. I can’t recommend her enough to everyone in the area. This last time she even cared for a hot spot throughout her stay with the dogs, changed dressing and provided great updates.”
“Katherine was great! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request for in-home sitting. She was fantastic at communication and met my sweet boy's needs. It was wonderful to have someone in my home whom I felt comfortable leaving my babies with. I love how many pictures she sent over the weekend, and I was able to relax and enjoy being out of town with family. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet setting needs, and I plan on having her watch my babies again!”
“Our Gil is hesitant around new people but Monica won her over and took great care of her. She sent photos and video updates daily which gave us so much peace. Monica left our home in immaculate condition and we came home to a happy puppy.”
“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!”
“Sara was awesome with my kitty Wilson! She sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell he was getting so much love! Our apartment was clean upon our arrival home and Wilson was one happy camper. I highly recommend Sara!”
“Amber was so fantastic. She was able to help with a last minute booking and was so communicative the whole time. I got so many updates and photos without even having to ask and came home to happy pets and a super clean home. It can always be scary having someone stay at your place but Amber was perfect and I would have her back in a heartbeat!”
“Victor continues to be our go-to sitter - we love that he follows our pup’s routine so closely, takes him on long walks and backyard playtime, and always proactively sends photos & updates - just the best all around and our pup loves him!”
“I would 100% recommend Erika. She was great with our anxious dog and left our house cleaner than we did. She was very communicative and provided regular updates. She is also super friendly and I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home!”
“Anna is amazing and took such good care of our babies!!! They’re our whole world and we don’t like to leave them with just anyone, we’re lucky we found Anna because she went above and beyond and treated them like her own! We can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: Hi I’m Shelbe! I’m available to take the dog on walks during the day and house sit anytime. I have had dogs all my life and absolutely love them :) I work from home so it’s easy for me to walk the dog throughout the day! I enjoy long walks and would love to help you out when you’re dog needs potty breaks! I have a friendly golden retriever who loves other dogs and I’m comfortable taking care of your dog in your home. I usually notice dogs are a lot more comfortable in the space they are used to.
“Kiana did a great job with our dog. We have a reactive dog that needs time to get used to strangers. Kiana was super calm with her and won her over quickly. She was also very communicative with updates. We would absolutely have her back again to take care of our dog.”
About: Decades of experience caring for dogs, horses, and a variety of animals. Trusted, reliable, and committed to providing safe, loving, one-on-one care tailored to each pet. Because every pet’s needs are different, I work closely with each client to create a care schedule that fits both your pet’s routine and my work schedule. Advance booking is recommended, especially during Charleston’s busy tourist seasons. I love leaving things exactly as I found them—except your pets. They’ll receive extra love, attention, playtime, companionship, and compassionate care while you’re away, giving you peace of mind when you return home.
“Amy was amazing! She took incredible care of my 4 little ones, including my special needs dog, while I traveled for a long, stressful weekend. She gave regular updates and clearly cared for my pets like her own. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Tonya was very communicative & reliable from our first interaction to the last! She was early to both our scheduled meet-and-greet & to house sitting our pup, even despite the snow & ice in Charleston. She sent photos with an update each day & was always quick to respond to any messages we sent. We came back to find our home cleaner than we left it and our pup (who can become quite stressed by change) has seemed perfectly normal. It definitely gave us peace of mind while we were away after a bad boarding experience. We already reached out to have Tonya stay with him again & would highly recommend her.”
“Nye is amazing! She took wonderful care of my pups and went above and beyond. For one of my boys it was his first time with a sitter and he seemed comfortable and stress free. I HIGHLY recommend Nye! Will book again!”
About: My experience includes overnight pet sitting as well as regular daytime check ins. I have pet sit for many family and friends over the years. I currently do not have a job so I will have plenty of time to be with your animals and make sure they are getting what they need. I am always willing to crate your animals if needed or take them for walks with a leash. I want to make sure they are safe and content.
“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! :)”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shell Point is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shell Point
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!

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.
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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Shell Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shell Point on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shell Point. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shell Point. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
