“Chelsea is wonderful! Very friendly, communicated with us the entire stay and was super sweet to our senior dog. It was comforting to leave town and know our fur baby was loved! Will definitely book her again!”
“Aby was so amazing to our dog when we went out of town for a long weekend. He required daily medication after a last minute emergency vet visit, and she went above and beyond to keep him comfortable as well as keeping me informed. Aby took great care of the house and was so respectful. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived back at home. She followed all instructions to a T, and sent photos and messages frequently! Will definitely be a repeat client of hers, and you should be too!”

“Sara was an amazing young lady. She and little Biscotti got along like old friends. I'm so happy with how the day went! You could tell immediately Sara took her job seriously and would provide exceptional care of Biscotti while I was away. Already planning another time for Sara to sit for me again.

“My dog has a lot of anxiety around new people but she was very comfortable very quickly with Julia who did a great job of taking care of my pup. She went out of her way to come early in order to meet the dog and get an idea of her routine and communicated really well with me. I would 100% book with Julia again.”
“Jen was wonderful! We have an overly energetic GSP puppy who is not the easiest to handle. Birdie took to Jen right away and usually takes much longer to warm up to strangers. Jen was very thorough and kept us posted. Highly recommend Jen for anyone’s fur baby.”
About: I have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember. Growing up I would watch my neighbors pets anytime they were out of town. Over the years I have gotten to meet so many people + their adorable pets and it truly is so much fun! I love being able to help you and meet a new furry friend. I will love your pet like they are my own! I will be their buddy while you are away. You can trust me and not feel worried leaving your loved one at home. I am a college student so my schedule is busy, however I can work around it and still be there for your pet! You and your pet are important to me. I will do what I am asked! If you have specific instructions I would love to know so I can serve you and your pet best!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summerville
Alex was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our house for three days and took such great care of our dogs. She kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and in such caring hands. We came home to happy pups and a clean, well-kept house. Alex was responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves dogs. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we’ll absolutely be asking Alex to watch our dogs again!
We have a pup with some medical issues and requires medications/ some extra care and we are so happy that Jennifer was able to take care of our pups. She took such great care of them and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell our doggos love her and had a blast. We felt at ease with her watching them and definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Ava was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was so sweet and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. She kept us updated, and even left our place cleaner than it was when we left! We came home to a very happy pup and would absolutely have her watch her again. ❤️
Julia was amazing! She went above and beyond for me and my fur babies, she was very understanding and accommodating for all of their little quirks! Both of my pups have separation anxiety and she was able to keep them distracted and happy. They’re top favorite things consist of playing and food, she not only was amazing playing with them (they can be quite rambunctious) but she even went as far as getting them both new toys and treats! No doubt will be rebooking any future trips with Julia!
Bridgette showed up on time and was great with my Pups. They loved her and missed her the minute she left. One of my pups is terrified of fireworks but Bridgette went the extra mile to comfort him and protect him from the fireworks. We will definitely be using Bridgette again.
I can’t say enough great things about Itziar. My pups loved her immediately and they never do that. She posted updates and sent me pictures every day. I feel like my pups were well taken care of while I was on vacation. I even came back a day early and nothing was amiss. Would highly recommend.
Dyana was wonderful! She took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. One of our dogs was sick so she administered medication when needed and kept a close eye on her for me. She was also great at communicating with us each day. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. I will definitely hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Summerville is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 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 1,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summerville. 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 Summerville 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 Summerville 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 Summerville 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.
