“First time to use a sitter in our home for our young pup. She made the situation easy. We could tell from her pictures that he settled in just fine with her and probably wasn’t missing us at all. She was very punctual, left the house clean, had good communication with us and even brought in a heavy delivery from our porch. When we get the opportunity to travel again we will remember Christine.”
“Shannon was absolutely fantastic!!!She took wonderful care of our pets, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She is amazing with animals, clearly genuinely cares about them, and was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive. Beyond being wonderful with our pets, Shannon is just a genuinely lovely person and so easy and pleasant to work with. We felt completely comfortable knowing our animals were in her care. We would absolutely book with Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We’ll definitely be coming back to her!”
“Daniela was amazing to have stay in our home and care for our 4 fur-babies while we were away. She was attentive, communicative, and demonstrated great compassion for our animals. I would absolutely recommend Daniela for your pet/house-sitting needs!”
“Julie was amazing! This was the very first time we've ever had a dog sitter, and she made sure our trip was worry-free! Our pups are not super friendly right off the bat, which was our greatest concern, but Julie handled it like the expert she is. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Sesaria was so great! She sent us plenty of pup-dates and photos of our babies. We came home to happy and relaxed pups, and we didn’t have to drive anywhere to pick them up after a long day of traveling. We have already let our friends know that they should book Sesaria next time they travel, and we will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Julie is wonderful- excellent, positive communication; and my pets all loved her! My dog is selective and tends toward anxious: she liked Julie right away. My cat who needs meds twice a day is famous for eluding most cat sitters who dare try to medicate her - she took her meds from Julie. And my escape artist cat who had (or course) Houdini'd his way out of the house right before we left for our trip, came back in the house in voluntarily for Julie! We will definitely be seeking Julie's services every time we need a great petsitter.”
“Liv arrived on time, communicated throughout the time she was with our pets and left the house clean. Our pets were healthy & happy upon our return. I'd recommend Liv to others that need pet care.”

Maddie did a great job taking care of my full household (2 dogs and 2 cats) while I was away for an extended weekend trip. One of my dogs is fairly shy with new people and her feeding is complicated with multiple medications, but Maddie was able to get her to warm up quickly and had no problem figuring out her quirks. Maddie also sent me pics which I loved getting and was always quick to respond when I asked how things were going. Would definitely have her look after them again in the future!
Mia did a great job with my pups. She kept me informed throughout the whole process and was sure to send pics. She offered to do the meet and greet before I booked which I loved because it ensured we were a good fit! One of my pups (who is a rescue) can be a bit of a problem child, but he absolutely loved her. I'll absolutely be booking again with her in the future.
Shannon was absolutely fantastic!!!She took wonderful care of our pets, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She is amazing with animals, clearly genuinely cares about them, and was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive. Beyond being wonderful with our pets, Shannon is just a genuinely lovely person and so easy and pleasant to work with. We felt completely comfortable knowing our animals were in her care. We would absolutely book with Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We’ll definitely be coming back to her!
Hannah was very patient and understanding while I was trying to figure out my ever-changing trip's plans and was super flexible. She's great at communication and followed directions perfectly. One of my dog's has bad anxiety but he felt comfortable around her after a short time of her spending time with him. She made sure both pups were comfortable! I'll definitely rely on Hannah to be my petsitter in the future!!
Jenna went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy and taken care of while we were away! She's great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures to keep us updated! We absolutely loved having her watch our fur babies, and would 100% rebook with her for future travels!! Thank you Jenna!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Simpsonville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 992 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.
<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 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 , 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.
