âSarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!â
âSketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.â

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats and I am happy to help! I am home for the summer so I will be available pretty much anytime of day throughout the week and weekend! Message me for more detailed info! I am a very neat and tidy person and always make it a priority to clean up after myself and the animals when I am pet sitting, doing check ins, etc!
âWe LOVE Gracie! This was our first time ever having a house sitter for our dogs and she did amazing! She kept us updated with pictures of our babies and constantly let me knew how they were doing! Will be rebooking in the future!â

âMarina gave my dog loving care when she watched her. Marinaâs communication is absolutely impeccable. She gave consistent, detailed feedback and updates. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned. Marina takes her job very seriously and it shows. Sheâs fabulous!â

About: I dog sit frequently and therefore have been exposed to a variety of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. I feel very comfortable around dogs and am competent at reading their behavior. I also have previous experience volunteering at a shelter and grew up with 2 family dogs. I currently am in graduate school for Physical Therapy at MUSC, so I have a consistent weekly class schedule, but have evenings and weekends available for your pups! I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, safety, and clear communication with the owner. In both my home and a clientâs home, I follow the petâs normal routine as closely as possibleâthis includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions the owner provides. In a clientâs home, I make sure the pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while also keeping the space clean and secure. I provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while theyâre away.

âCaroline is a great pet sitter! She took care of our 2 dogs (one who is a coonhound who is sweet but not the easiest temperament!), our indoor/ outdoor cat and our chickens, goats and barn cats. Itâs hard for us to leave our farm for vacation but she was in top of it! She watered my front porch flowers and kept them alive during a heat wave. The house was in immaculate condition and all the pets were in good spirits. I can highly recommend her taking exceptional care of your animals and house!â

About: Through my work with Battle Buddies, a nonprofit that raises and places service dogs for veterans, I gained valuable experience being around dogs regularly and observing the care, structure, and attention they require. In addition, Iâve cared for dogs belonging to friends, family, and private clients through pet sitting and drop-in visits. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing petsâ personalities and include complimentary photos during our time together! I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether itâs walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I plan my day to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and keep the home clean and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while theyâre away.
âJayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and canât go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.â

âTimothy was very quick to respond and set up time for a meet and greet for a very quick turnaround to watch our pups. I appreciated his communication and how he cared for our pups.â

About: Iâve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. Iâm available all week, whatever time. Iâm not working any other jobs so Iâm available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure theyâre comfortable, whether thatâs in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure theyâre good and tired before I stop playing with them.
âZoe was amazing !! Sent me so many pictures and updates & gave Vienna so much love. She was very accommodating and flexible with my crazy work schedule and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. Vienna had such a good time. Will definitely be reaching out again for future needs!â


About: Iâve grown up around animals and caring for them has always been a big part of my life that Iâm so lucky to have. Iâve had four cats over the years and currently have two at home when Iâm not at college, so Iâm very used to different personalities, responsibilities, and giving them the attention they need. Last fall, my roommates and I fostered two puppies for two months, which was such a great experience. It taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and working with puppies with lots of energy, which I wasnât used to before. Iâve also been dog walking for my neighbors since middle school, so I have a lot of experience walking different types of dogs. Caring for other peopleâs pets means a lot to me, and I take the responsibility seriously as I would want someone to do the same for me. Iâm a full time nursing student, but Iâd love to spend the free time that I have with your pets! Monday, Thursday and Friday I am gone from 5:30 am-5:30 pm, but can help out before or after those times. Tuesday Iâm gone from 7 am-5:15 pm. Wednesdays Iâm done early and am home by 12:30! Weekends I have full availability! Some weeks the hours are slightly different depending on my lab and clinical times so please reach out! I live in an apartment so I donât plan to take the pets back to my home. For dog walking, I will make sure they get an adequate distance in and plenty of exercise. I love being outside and getting fresh air so this is a win win for me! I can try to stick to their usual walking schedule as best as I can. I am able to walk in your neighborhood or go to a place you typically walk with them! For drop ins, I will make sure they have a clean area to be in, and get some energy out playing and being able to go to the bathroom. They will get plenty of attention! For house sitting, I will try to keep them on their usual schedule per your instructions and be able to spend quality time with them to keep them relaxed and happy while youâre away. For any of the services, I prioritize making sure the pet is cared for thoroughly.
About: I grew up on a farm with experience taking care of all kinds of animals and have had more dogs than I can count (mostly chocolate labs). Iâve been pet sitting/house sitting since middle school for family and friends, so I am very comfortable with the responsibilities it requires. Iâm a student at Clemson and will be in the area this summer working a remote job. I am willing to stay with your pets throughout the day while I work to play with them and take them on walks, so they arenât cooped up in a kennel all day! I try to make sure that the pets feel comfortable by keeping the routines they usually have as far as feeding and outside time goes. I know that when owners are gone, it can be confusing for pets, so maintaining a routine is a great way to help them feel safe.

FAQs for House Sitting - Six Mile
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Six Mile on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Six Mile. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Six Mile walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Six Mile 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Six Mile 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.

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.
