“Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 dogsonce again while we went on vacation. I can’t stress enough how much of a relief we get to know that our dogs are being taking care of my someone so caring and responsive all in the comfort of their own home.”
“Janae did a great job with our pups. She was communicative and easy to work with. We received numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend her in the future.”
“Jena was able to book a stay for a very last minute trip. Our normally shy girls warmed up to her right away, and we loved the video updates! We hope she can regularly sit for us!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Gabriella care for our dog, Mo, while we were out of town for five days visiting our son and his family. She was absolutely wonderful! Gabriella not only watched Mo, but also housesat for us, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She showed a kind heart and genuine love for animals, paid close attention to detail, and asked thoughtful questions to fully understand Mo’s routine. She followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond—playing with Mo, taking him outside, brushing him, and sending us regular picture updates so we could see how happy he was while we were away. On top of caring for Mo, Gabriella kept the house clean and orderly. Her positive attitude, responsibility, and reliability made the entire experience stress-free. Most importantly, Mo clearly adored her—it was obvious he felt loved and cared for. We highly recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet and house sitter. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!”
“Jenna is reliable and trustworthy. She kept us informed and provided lots of pictures of our dog, while we were out of town, unexpectedly. I don't know what we would do without her!”
“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”
About: My responsibilities encompass medication administration for geriatric canines, guaranteeing they receive thorough care under my direct supervision. This includes topical ophthalmic treatments and oral medication delivery. Prior to commencing work, I administered ophthalmic drops to my canine companion to alleviate her discomfort. She has a structured toileting schedule and receives comprehensive support. Pampered pooches rejoice! From bath time bliss to daily strolls, your furry friend will be living the good life. Medication management is a breeze, ensuring your pet's health is always top-notch. I take the worry out of pet care so you can relax and enjoy your companion. It's the ultimate in canine comfort and convenience.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“Allison is fantastic! Not only did she communicate with me a few times a day with updates on my sweet older dog, she also helped my neighbor with a small emergency ❤️❤️ I fully trust her and I recommend her 100%.”
About: Let me ease your mind and bring comfort to your pets when you travel! I've been pet and house sitting for 20 years in the Pewee Valley / Louisville, Kentucky, area. I am great with dogs and cats. I have also taken care of chickens, rabbits and the like. I'm accustomed to watering plants, taking the trash out, and generally keeping a home safe and secure. While I am fairly new to Rover, I can provide references upon request. I also do house and pet sitting through Trusted Housesitters (I only mention that because I have 40 5-Star reviews with them ... I've included a couple of screenshots in my photos). I just turned 65 in February, so your pets will get a lot of my undivided attention, especially if I'm house-sitting for you. I'm pretty much a homebody, though I do very much enjoy walking everyday, especially with canine friends! I will care for your pets in your home in a manner in which they are accustomed. I try to adapt my schedule and routine around theirs as much as possible. I have experience with elderly and special needs pets and can administer medications if needed.
“We couldn’t be happier with Kaitlyn! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she truly cares about animals and treats them like family. Shadow and Meeka immediately felt comfortable — which says a lot, because Meeka can be shy with new people. Throughout our trip Kaitlyn sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our senior dogs were getting attention, walks, and love just like if we were home. When we returned, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve used other sitters in the past, but no one compares to Kaitlyn! Reliable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate — everything you could ask for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and we’ve already booked with her again!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl, I’ve grown up multiple family pets and have watched dogs for family and friends when they are out of town. I am also a proud owner of an extremely playful miniature Bernedoodle. I love getting to meet and spend time with new furry friends and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working a part time job and caring for my own snuggle buddy, Therefore I will have flexible availability throughout the weekdays and the weekends. Holidays included. I have one friendly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company if wanted. As well as transportation and any needed doggy supplies!
“Christian is infinitely empathetic, caring, and attentive to your fur babies! He also is extremely conscientious about leaving your home as clean and orderly as he found it- or more so. He brings in your mail, takes out your trash and recycling, brings it back in. He communicates regularly and provides photos that illustrate how your pets are doing when you are away! He washed the bedding on the bed he used while doing an overnight and remade the bed! I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
About: I have worked with animals for several years through my position at a pet store, where I help pet owners find the best products for their pets and learn about proper pet care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and the individual needs of different pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. As a Resident Assistant at Freed-Hardeman University, I am trusted with leadership responsibilities, checking on residents nightly and handling situations with maturity and care. I bring that same level of responsibility to caring for pets. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I pay close attention to instructions, provide regular updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a college student and Resident Assistant, I have experience managing my time responsibly and staying organized. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, and I can provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I have fenced area outside and I have two friendly Yorkies who love playing with other dogs! I also have a gated room in my home if you prefer your pet to be separated. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe space to relax. I am dependable, respectful of clients' homes, and committed to providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families.
“Madison was a pleasure to have in my home. My partner and I were gone for the entire day with a 13 week old shepherd puppy at home. Not only were we worried about leaving him alone for an entire day, but we knew he could be a handful. She took on his energy with gusto (and even managed to tire him out) but also was a great companion for our 2 year old collie. While we didn't need her to take care of the cats, she was more than pleasant around them and happy to meet them when we did a meeting the weekend before. Should I need any more puppy-sitting for the day, I'd be happy to have her back around my boys.”
“Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!”
“There are not enough words to praise Emily for the care she gave our baby!! It was the first time we ever left our dog with someone, and we were very nervous. That all disappeared the moment we met Emily. She was so good with our baby (and with us), that we knew we chose the perfect person. While we were gone, we received numerous photos and videos of our baby that proved to us that not only was she doing well, but she was happy, content, and was getting all the attention she needed. Emily stayed in our home; and when we returned, it was just as neat and clean as when we left it. Emily is the number one choice ALWAYS!!”
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Simpsonville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Simpsonville. 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 Simpsonville 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 Simpsonville 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 Simpsonville 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.
