“We had a fantastic experience with Julie! She took care of our pups for 3 nights and kept us updated with texts and photos regularly. She was super easy to work with and our pups were happy upon our return! Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My mom breeds Maine Coons, so I’ve helped care for kittens and adult cats by feeding, cleaning up after them, socializing them, and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I also had a dog of my own, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to provide a safe, loving environment for your furry family members. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll communicate with you to make sure their routine stays as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll care for your pets in their familiar environment, following their usual routine and any instructions you provide. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own while you’re away.
“She did an excellent job. Her watching my dogs at my home was very convenient. She followed my instructions and kept me up to date with how they were doing. I’ve already recommended her to my cousin. Thank you again”

“Haily did an amazing job with my super needy lab mix. She took him for walks, spent time with him all day and played fetch with him non stop because that’s all he ever wants and won’t stop until you stop lol she did so great and Hercules LOVED her! She gave me updates throughout my time away and made me feel extremely comfortable with her in my home. I would definitely book Haily again and would recommend her to anyone needing someone fun, knowledgeable, and loving to take care of their pets while they’re away! Thank you so much Haily!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been a caregiver on Wag! since 2022. At a doggy daycare, I managed large groups of dogs, ensuring safe, structured, and attentive care! I work full-time during the day, but pet care fits into my routine in the evenings and on weekends. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, and I make sure to plan my schedule so pets get consistent, reliable attention! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs in both my home and the client’s home. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and comfort breaks. I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I always provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease!

“Jamie really liked Kimberly from our initial meet and great visit. He was well cared for, Kimberly worked during the day, which quite a distance from my home but still came back every day to spend her lunchtime with him, to get him out and play. Jamie wasn’t feeling well one day and immediately contacted me. She stayed with him and worked from home that day to be with him. Kimberly communicated and sent pictures every day. We found a winner, and I will definitely call upon her again whenever I have to leave my precious boy, who is my world.”

About: I have been on Rover for over a year now and have fallen in love with pet sitting! I have several repeat clients who I love. I have always had dogs in my house and I am currently raising my puppy Roy! I feel as though pets have more feelings than humans so I make sure to give them special attention! I am a full time student at Clemson University and work a part time job so when i’m away from those i always make sure to spend time playing with my dog and taking care of him. I love to be around and let him hangout with me anytime I can since he’s so sweet and funny! I typically find myself watching a few pets every month! I always give pets as much attention as they will let me. I feel as though feedings schedules and daily walks and attention are necessary for animals. I also like to make sure they have clean food and water and plenty of it! I also make sure to pay special attention to their body language and can change my routines or anything they may need to make them more comfortable.
About: I don't have formal experience training poppies, but I have experience carind for an older dog and I understand the patience, attention , and gental care that senior dogs need. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because i have a flexible schedule and can be available during the dat for feeding, walks ,and care. I do not offer pet care in my home. I provide care in the client's home, following their instructions to keep pets comfortable,safe,and on their normal routine
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! Currently I am on summer vacation & would love to help as many families as possible during my “time off.” My scheduling is pretty open and I’m super flexible. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
About: I have never met a pet that I haven’t absolutely fell in love with as soon as I meet them. I’ve had pets for my entire life and currently have a large labradoodle and a small cat as well. Both are VERY spoiled and VERY sweet For me my pets absolutely come first everyday. Every morning and every night my first priority is getting those babies fed, played with, and of course gone to the bathroom I will absolutely do anything you need your fur baby to do. Go on a 2 mile walk? Say no more. Run around the block until they’re tired and ready to go rest? So no more I’m your girl
About: Pets have so much fun here, they try to come back in during pickup time! I’ve been caring and training dogs for 4 years. My family and friends also help play with dogs and give them extra snuggles. For boarding schedule between 7am and 745pm, only bring dog food. No bowls, no beds, no leashes, there are plenty of extras here. Several dogs here play together everyday like a big dog park so I can only take healthy active dogs that do not have any infectious or contagious illnesses. The best fit is a playful friendly dog that wants to run and have fun (not a dog that needs to be alone or the only pet). I cannot take senior dogs that need multiple medications or dogs with mange, or bordatella or heart worms. I provide several services including boarding, training, walking, daycare and more! My boarding schedule is usually 7am to 730pm for pet drop off and pet pickup. However, I take a day off or two and friends or family will substitute for me. I do have some family time at dinner so its best to schedule drop off and pick ups before 5pm or after 7pm to accommodate the time it takes for new arrivals. All pets get to play with other dogs. Every dog gets free time outside daily I ensure all dogs are safe and create a calming environment for them! Puppies and small dogs are welcome and do great here with the friendly group of little dogs.

About: I've been around dogs all of my life. Even as a baby my dad had dogs, and there hasn't been a time in my life I didn't have at least 1 in the house! I've dealt with all ages of dogs, from newborn puppies to seniors, I have the skills! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!! Currently, I'm working odd jobs here and there, so I'll be there whenever you need me if I have the availability!! I can stay as long as you need me to as long as I have a heads up If you ask me to do it, I'll do it!! Want me to crate your baby before I leave? You got it! Want me to put on their cartoons, done and done! I'll do any and every need for your animals, just be sure to tell me so I'll know!
“Sketcher 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.”

“Jesse is great with our 3 dogs. We have an older dog who he's even had to carry up and down stairs. He's had great communication with us and left the house clean and the dogs are very happy!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Starr
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 316 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Starr. 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 Starr 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 Starr 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 Starr 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.

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.
