“Jennifer was great! Provided just the right amount of updates about my dog while we were out of town. I knew he was being well cared for and didn't worry at all while we were out of town. She was an even wiling to help out when our flight was delayed getting back. I would highly recommend her!”
“I can definitely feel comfortable saying that Kelsey is a wonderful pet sitter and treats the pets in her care like true family members. She watched my 2 dogs for 8 days and stayed in my home. One of my dogs has dietary requirements and Kelsey did a great job with her meals. She walked the girls and played with them and even allowed them to sleep with her! She took care of the mail, the trash and my plants and left my house clean and neat. I will definitely use Kelsey again whenever I need a pet sitter! I am extremely nervous about leaving my pets with anyone, but with Kelsey I felt confident that my girls would be cared for responsibly with love and kindness!”
About: I have had boxers my whole entire life and have recently moved away from home. I miss them dearly and would love to share the care and attention I have with your dog. I have had experience training, walking, feeding, and taking care of elderly dogs to puppies & and all the ages in between. I currently only work at night so I have plenty of time during the day to add hanging out with your dog to my routine! I currently live in a safe walkable area with plenty of paths- perfect for dog walking. I have reliable transportation to all over the Charleston area to take care of your dog!
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Sophie was so caring and she even sent over some great photos while we were enjoying a great comedic performance. Our dogs immediately like Sophie. We would absolutely recommend Sophie and will use her again.”
“Kristelyn had a large challenge as our dog has a medical issue that causes her to need to go out almost every hour. Kristelyn met the challenge and had a great week d with Piper. The house was neat and clean when we returned and Piper was happy. No one should need more than that! Thanks, Kristelyn!”
“Jessica is a literal dog whisper! She stayed with our senior dog and young dog for several days. They were happy, well taken care of, and spoiled. She is truly an angel. ❤️ I can’t say enough nice things!”
“Maura house and dog sat for us for 8 days. Maura was friendly and very experienced with dog sitting, which made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with someone from Rover for the first time! Our dog is usually shy around new folks but was immediately comfortable around Maura. We loved that she sent us updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely book Maura again in the future!”
“I can’t sing Jess’s praises loud enough. Jess has cared for our senior Newfoundland Remy twice and truly gone above and beyond to make sure our baby girl feels loved and cared for. Remy has a slew of special needs that can make finding sitters challenging. From the first time Jess met Remy, her warm and kind spirit melted us all. Jess takes the time to be thorough and thoughtful, and her education and expertise also make her an incredible resource with tons of valuable insights, especially for senior pets like our Remy. We can always expect regular photos with detailed “Pupdates” when Remy’s in Jess’s capable care. Jess is punctual, responsive, and trustworthy…a true gift. We’re so grateful to have found Jess and couldn’t recommend her more to care for your precious pet like they’re her own!”
“Megan did a great job house sitting for my rescue dog Bear while I was away for a week. She paid close attention to details and kept me in loop. So glad Bear was taken good care of and I recommend Megan to anyone in need of pet care.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Alicia was phenomenal. We felt such at ease having her in our home and knowing our dog was well taken care of by her. I will definitely be reaching out to Alicia again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Zoey B. Is an amazing pet sitter! She handled all 5 of our cats and two dogs over 70 lbs for the weekend. Our pets absolutely loved her, and they are pretty picky! Zoey sent us amazing pictures of each of our pets several times a day. This meant so much to me because we were very far from home attending my father-in-law’s funeral. Seeing my pets happy, healthy and safe with Zoey just gave me such peace in such a sad time. I highly recommend Zoey, and I absolutely intend to contact her through Rover the next time we need to go out of town. Thank you, Zoey! You’re Awesome!❤️”
“Indeed. A pleasant experience interacting with Kelly. Punctual friendly, very knowledgeable about dogs. Communicated with us through out the day. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds since a young age and love interacting with pets. Many of my friends and family members have relied on me to stay overnight, drop in during the day, and play with their dogs and cats to ensure they are enriched with play time and are well taken care of. I love fur babies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with 2 large Rottweilers Bear Puppy and Katie. 3 Shih Tzu’s Molly, Alley and Cash and 1 miniature schnauzer Nicholas. I’m currently working part time in Downtown Charleston. Mondays and Wednesday I have more flexibility before 1:00 pm because I work remotely. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am available for any lunchtime walks, play dates, and all the fur baby love! While I wish I could bring your pets to my home, I do not have the proper safety precautions for doggies and my kitties are timid of visiting pets, so I want to respect their home. When it comes to going into the pets homes I will ensure that all dogs remain on their leash while on walks away from the home and in the yards of their homes unless there is proper fencing to keep them safe. And same goes for inside/ outside kitties. I want all pets I interact with to feel safe in their environment and comfortable with me caring and interacting with them!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for the past 7 years, and somewhere along the way became the person everyone calls when they need someone to spoil their pup. I have a golden retriever of my own who is very loved (and very aware of it), so I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in the early morning, afternoon, or some evenings to watch or walk your pet. I have a large front and backyard where dogs can safely run and play using a long leash that gives them freedom to the entire yard while staying safe and secure. I like to keep a consistent routine with play time, feeding, and lots of attention and care. If I’m in someone else’s home, I try to stick as closely as I can to their normal routine so the pet feels as relaxed and at home as possible.
“WOW! We have had many sitters stay with our pups and Kilee was by far the best we have ever had! She was so sweet with our babies and sent updates consistently. She also went above and BEYOND with our house and playing with the pups. So glad we found her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sullivans Island is $58

Dom was so attentive and took great care of our puppy over a long weekend! He came to stay at our house and kept Beans on a steady routine. He sent 2x daily check-ins and photos, which were much appreciated! He also left our house spotless and we felt so safe knowing that he was watching over things while we were away. Highly recommend Dom!
Naomi was very communicative and great with my two older dogs. She watched them over Fourth of July weekend, and was very caring for them both during the insane amount of fireworks that were going off. She updated me daily and sent pics, will totally rehire her to stay at my home with my babies again!
Jennifer was great! Provided just the right amount of updates about my dog while we were out of town. I knew he was being well cared for and didn't worry at all while we were out of town. She was an even wiling to help out when our flight was delayed getting back. I would highly recommend her!
We had Kelly to provide care for our two Poodles (Murphy and Sophie and she was fabulous. She played with them in the backyard, fed and gave them their medications and let them sleep with her. Kelsey followed our instructions to a T. Upon return I noticed the house was tidy, their feeding bowl were washed and best of all the dogs seemed relaxed and well cared for. We will definitely have Kelly back and I know the dogs would like to see her again,
Wow - Tammie was amazing and highly recommend. Very responsive and helpful. She cared for our older cat and dog - we know they got a lot of love and attention because while they were happy to see us, they did not complain or cling all night, which can happen. Our dog had an upset tummy but Tammie was great and took care and of our girl. And, we were delayed coming home so Tammie made sure our dog had a mid-day walk. Can’t say enough nice things - she even did laundry to wash towels and sheets. She went way above and beyond.
Sage was so sweet and easy to work with. She came early to meet Nellie in a meet and greet, and watched Nellie for 2 nights while I was away. She was kind enough to bring in packages that got delivered and my house was left in perfect condition. Will definitely book with Sage on my next trip!
Katie was one of the best pet sitters I have ever had. She gave my cats lots of attention. Even though I hadn't requested it, she gave me feedback and sent photos. I had a long page of instructions which she followed perfectly. I returned after a long day of travel to a pristine home with food and fresh water for the cats and a clean litter box. Katie is superb both as a pet sitter and as a person and gets my highest recommendation.
Kelsey stayed at our house and watched our dog for about a week. She is reliable, friendly, and reaches out with any questions. The house was impeccably clean when we arrived home. Our doggo was so loved while we were gone, which was a huge peace of mind. She sent daily pics and updates. Highly recommend Kelsey as a dog sitter. Her dog, Gizmo, is friendly and gets along with other animals.
Mary was fantastic. Five stars isn’t enough! I was able to enjoy my time away from my pup (Mona) stress free. Mona loved Mary and she provided me with fun photo updates along the way. For anyone looking for a caring and communicative dog-sitter, Mary should be your go-to!
This was my first time using Rover and I felt very nervous about leaving my 2 dogs with a stranger. Olivia built my trust with our conversations before my booking. Once booked she continued the trust building by being quickly and appropriately responsive to my requests. Upon her arrival at my hotel room I liked how she interacted with my dogs and me. She seemed comfortable caring for them and they responded positively to her interactions with them. I will definitely hire Olivia the next time I am in Mt Pleasant and need a sitter. She is trust worthy and competent.
I had a great experience with Bethany. She was incredibly reliable & always on time and super communicative throughout the weekend. I loved that she sent regular photo updates of my pup Hagrid, which totally put my mind at ease. He looked so happy and well cared for! It was also great knowing she was always reachable if I had any questions. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sullivans Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sullivans Island on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,623 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sullivans Island. 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 Sullivans Island 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 Sullivans Island 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 Sullivans Island 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.
