“Elizabeth was wonderful! We did 3 drop in visits and each one was done in a timely manner with all the focus on the kitties. Communication was a breeze and our cats were very comfortable the whole time!”
“This was my first time using any sitter from Rover and Erika was great! She put me at ease introducing me to ths whole process. She sent daily pictures and drop-in descriptions of how my cats were doing, which made me feel better about leaving them alone. I will definitely recommend her and certainly use her again.”
“Zachary was absolutely wonderful and gave us the peace of mind we needed during our weekend away. He gave our kitty Paddy so much love and sent us photos throughout our time away which was great! :) Highly recommend - thanks for everything, Zach!”
“Stephanie is AMAZING! I am so glad I found her. I was in search of a new cat sitter and found Stephanie. She recently watched my two kitties and did a phenomenal job. She was always on time, followed all instructions left, communicated with me during her visits, and sent tons of fun pictures. It’s clear that Stephanie loves what she does and has a true passion for taking good care of one’s pets. I will definitely be using her moving forward! She’s great!!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love taking care of dogs. Playing, walking, and feeding them. They really are man’s best friend. I work full time, but telework often. I work 10 minutes from home and stop by for lunch daily. The weekends I’m home all the time. Would give full attention to all dogs. My house is the dogs house. As long as they are house trained, they have full use of the house. Nice big yard to run around. Plenty of trails to go for a walk and stretch their legs.
“Jaeda did a great job with our golden retriever. She knew just how to manage him on his walks and provided him with lots of petting, as well as playtime. She followed our directions thoroughly and took initiative with providing him with longer walks to calm his energy. She has a natural and caring temperament which really made him feel comfortable.”
“Julia is amazing!! She is quick to respond and takes the most adorable pictures!! I also love the notes she leaves with each drop in. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! My dog absolutely loves her.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats. I’ve had a pet since I was a child! Right now I have two beautiful boy dogs that I love with my whole heart. My family dog and my own sweet boy. I take great care of all animals!! Pets are what make the world go round most days ! I work either mornings or nights so I can let your furry friend out on a walk a couple times a day before work and even after work! I am always respectful of any home ! I always treat someone’s home the way I’d want them to treat mine. I’m always playing with my dogs, making sure they have water, and food! I always want them to feel safe and happy.
About: I've cared for several kinds pets for my friends and family since I was 15. I have learned how to train dogs specifically in simple commands such as sit, down, stay, and leave it. I currently own a pup and have helped him learn a multitude of commands and I have a deeper understanding on how to keep your pet safe. I understand how to care for your pet and how to meet their needs in regards to feeding, walking, exercising, and safety. I am currently part-time in school making my schedule flexible to take care of your fur babies. I am available Monday through Friday and occasionally on Sunday, please contact me for availability. I will adapt to your pets environment as needed making sure to keep dangers away from your pup. This of course will vary from location to location so communicate with me what individual needs your pet has to ensure their safety.
“We’ve had Olivia do drop in visits with our two dogs twice now so far and she has been amazing! She is very responsive and has been extremely helpful with us learning rover. Our two dogs are usually not the best with new people and are reactive, but she has been absolutely wonderful with them.”
“Sophia was very communicative, responsible, and professional when she took care of my cat, Binx. I felt very at ease being away from home because I knew he was in great hands. Sophia did a great job and I would definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! Over my lifetime my family has fostered over 50 dogs. While I specialize in hounds, I’ve had a wide exposure to many different breeds of dogs. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for several months before transitioning to becoming a nanny. While there I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once, bathe and trim nails, and how to support various behavioral differences. I have also owned 2 cats and have cared for many cats in my lifetime, max being 5 at a time all in the same house. I have administered medicine to both dogs and cats, having experience of caring for pets 1 year through senior years (16+). Our pets are like our family members and deserve the best care. I love to send updates on your pets throughout my time watching them as well, and will take plenty of photos. I am an eager learner as well, so if your pet has any specific needs I’m willing to work with you so I can best take care of your pets! I also have some experience with various reptiles. I’m excited to meet and support you and your pets needs! I’m currently transitioning careers, so I have full availability to stay as long as needed. While I have a few activities out of the home such as church and the gym, I’m mostly available. They usually don’t last more than 2 hours, so your pets will never be left alone long. I absolutely love to pet and play with various pets! Depending on the specific animal’s temperament, I’m flexible to play more, or relax with them. I can be adaptable for whatever care requirements your pets may have, whether it be medications, bathing, or exercise. While I don’t jog, I’m happy to take things at a leisurely pace. I also am very familiar with counter surfing, so I will be sure to maintain any pet proofing that the home may require. I can also send updates as frequently as you would like.
“Madison took care of our new puppy. She was super sweet, dependable, very easy to communicate with, and wonderful with helping to reinforce training with the puppy. I highly recommend her!”
“Gregory did a fantastic job with Raisin! We felt totally comfortable that she was being well taken care of. Gregory kept us updated with pictures and comments. We will definitely use his services again. Thanks for all your help!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a child and my parents gifted me my very own dog when I was in elementary school. Jessie was my sole responsibility in terms of feeding, walking, and taking care of her. When I left my parents’ place I ended up adopting a cat who is now my family. My partner and I just adopted another cat this past year and are loving the two-cat life. I’ve also cared for my partner’s gecko in the past. I love animals and am so excited to care for yours! I work full-time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. I am always available in the evenings and mornings but anytime on Mondays and Fridays. I am careful with making sure animals warm up to me properly and receive the space they need. I have handled reactive animals before and it is something I am familiar with.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Simpsonville
Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. My shy cat even came out after only a couple of days to be pet, which is not something she does with just anyone! Jessica also provided me advice on lockboxes, which was needed in my specific building to enable easy access. She is much appreciated and I hope to rebook with her in the future!
Erika was fantastic! She was a quick and thorough communicator. She did a fantastic job of looking after Mistletoe and sent detailed updates and incredible pictures! She was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend her for anything here for dogs. She was great!
We are new to Rover. This was our visit. Richard helped us through the process and answered all our questions. He was a terrific sitter. From our initial visit we felt instantly comfortable with him and the way he interacted with our cat. We had a week long trip and never worried. We would definitely recommend him!
He’s been great about accommodating last-minute requests to check in on our dog and always follows our instructions. Daisy quickly got comfortable with him and really enjoys going on walks with him. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Stephani did an excellent job with our two cats! She came each day and spent the full drop in time with them, scooped litter, made sure they ate, and also played with them while we were away. It was clear to us that our boys loved having Stephani around, and she flagged anything amiss to us each day she came by. We will absolutely book with Stephani again!
I highly recommend Cameron G. I contacted Cameron on very short notice right before my trip, and he was able to take great care of my cat. He kept me updated with photos during every visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Rosie was happy and well cared for while I was away. If you live in Howard County, Maryland, I would definitely recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rosie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Simpsonville is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 16,534 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Simpsonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Simpsonville. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
