“Dai Yah, was prompt with her response when we urgently needed a last minute same-day booking request in order to go out to an activity and then dinner with family. Were extremely mindful and careful when looking over sitters profiles and this is the 4th time we have booked a house sitting request via Rover app and it was a pleasure to work with DaI Yah. If you’re interested in booking a sitter that has such a pleasant vibe like super chill and easy to follow care instructions for my little 5lb Shih-Poo then schedule with DaI Yah, we will be booking again many more times for DaI Yah, I already mentioned to her that were interested in a repeat sitter so Blaze has a pleasant experience each time we need house sitting care. Dai Yah, and I spoke with each other college and family and goals so it was a great having the brief conversation to try to build that sitter-pet parent connection.”
“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”
“We had such a great experience! Joy took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pets behind, but she made everything so much easier. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
About: A passionate dog lover offering guaranteed safety and lots of fun. I treat every visiting pup like family, providing constant care and attention. It will be a home away from home. I'm currently working from Mon-Thu, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 6PM. Safety is my highest priority. I provide a highly secure, comfortable home environment where visiting pups can relax completely. I follow all owner instructions perfectly, double-check door locks, remove potential hazards, and ensure your dog is entirely safe, happy, and treated just like a beloved family member.
About: I have pet sit for multiple dogs at a time and have even stayed the night if needed. I currently have a 4 year old dog which I walk and feed daily. we also trained her from a puppy. I am recently retired from teaching and my schedule is wide open to care for you pets. I am available every day morning and night. I don't offer boarding in my home as we have a dog, but I am happy to come walk your dog and stay over your house if necessary.
“Carina was amazing while house-sitting and caring for our two dogs, Lyla and Kenny! My wife and I felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in such loving and capable hands. Having someone we could trust made being away so much easier. We highly recommend Carina and would gladly have her care for Lyla and Kenny again. Thank you, Carina, for giving us such peace of mind!”
“We met with Miles a week and a half prior to the overnight sitting and felt confident in his ability to care for our two disabled cats and our 115lb dog. He was easy to talk to, a great communicator, and our house was even cleaner than how we left it! Our pets were well cared for and he provided frequent pictures and notes. I will 100% be booking with Miles in the future!!”
“Abby was AMAZING! We scheduled a meet & greet prior to visit the house and meet in person. During our trip she was extremely communicative - sending updates and pictures to ease our minds while we were away. She was so warm and friendly, and our fur babies loved getting the extra attention! Will definitely be using Abby again in the future! ?”
“Grace did an amazing job with our girls and followed all of the directions we left for her! She came at the agreed upon times and made sure they were fed, watered, and pottied! She also sent pictures everyday and gave little updates! She also went above and beyond and brought in our mail and packages in, even though I didn’t ask her too! I completely recommend Grace!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 7 years old, and from that moment on, I understood the incredible bond between people and their pets. I have loved, cared for, and shared my life with dogs ever since. Over the years, I have rescued and fostered dogs of all ages, each with their own unique personalities, needs, and stories. Whether a playful puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or a dog simply looking for comfort and companionship, I have always treated every dog with the same love, kindness, and attention I would give my own. After losing my beloved dog a couple of years ago, I realized how much joy and purpose dogs bring into my life. While I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own just yet, I would love the opportunity to spend my time caring for yours — giving them affection, companionship, exercise, and the love they deserve. To me, dogs are not just pets; they are beautiful souls who become part of our families. I would be honored to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they are with me. Pet care is something I would love to make a meaningful part of my daily life. After a lifetime of loving and caring for dogs, I am excited to dedicate my time to providing the same affection, attention, and companionship to other people’s pets. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to prioritize walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication needs (if applicable), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I truly enjoy being around dogs and want this to be more than just a side activity — I want to spend my days caring for, loving, and appreciating the wonderful personalities that each dog brings. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, patience, or simply someone to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away, I am happy to make their care a priority. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and relaxed in the environment they know best. I understand that many dogs feel happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, sleep in their own beds, and have their familiar surroundings while their humans are away. I have a comfortable townhome with a small yard and access to a wonderful walking trail, but I truly enjoy the flexibility of traveling to your home and providing care where your pup feels most secure. I am happy to follow your routines, keep up with their favorite activities, and give them the love, attention, and companionship they are used to receiving. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible by giving your dog a safe, happy, and loving experience while you’re away.
“Caylee was amazing. She was very sweet and took great care of my pup. Showed up on time and great communication. Always sent pictures. Kept my dog great company while I was away from my trip. I will highly recommend her for any one needing a dog sitter. I will be reaching out to her any time I can’t take my dog with me. She is first on the list now. You can trust her with your pets.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.
About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again
“Sonna was so great with my pups. She was very timely, and treated my house and pups so respectfully. She is very good about communicating needs for the pups while you’re away and sending pictures. Would be happy to have her again!”
“Karleen was fabulous! Our anxious Goldendoodle seemed content while we were away and when we returned home. Karleen sent us photos every day and told us how our girl was doing, so we could feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. The house was spotless when we returned home. I highly recommend Karleen!”
“We knew we liked Marcus’s personality the moment we met him which was a plus but honestly the best part was knowing he was all in and excited to be with our pets. He sent great update videos daily but also let us enjoy our trip without having to worry about the house or the animals! There wasn’t a moment when I thought “I hope they’re doing alright” I just knew they were! We would highly recommend him for dogs cats and the house!”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tega Cay
Joy, provided loving care for our two dogs and cat. She stayed in our home and was attentive to each pet. It was her first time with us and she made every effort to learn about the pets routines and their care in our home. She is reliable, caring, friendly and communicated well. We are grateful to have met her and the care she provided for our pets for two nights.
Sarah stayed in our home with our 2 pups for a week. One of our pups is more anxious and can be slower to warm up to new people. Sarah was very patient with her and found ways to help keep her more calm. We really appreciated that and her taking such good care of the pups and home while we were away.
Outstanding! Dai was genuinely amazing with our two girls! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She minded our two fur babies in our home for 8 days and was super communicative with daily updates and photos of the girls! You can clearly tell she genuinely loves animals! 10/10 would recommend Dai to anyone. And will definitelybe rebooking with her again. My girls loved her and got more belly rubs from Dai, then they do from me!
Sydney is fantastic. She communicates well about arrival and departure, sends photos and updates about pets. I am very comfortable leaving my elderly dog and two cats with her. They look for her for days after I return! I am very glad I found such a wonderful sitter.
Ava was amazing. We had a super last minute need for a dogsitter and she stepped up to the plate! Was very responsive and accommodating with our tight schedule, but more importantly our two dogs seemed so happy with her while we were gone! She left our house in perfect order and gave plenty of updates throughout her stay. Definitely will be working with Ava again.
Paige was great with Aria! My dog is a bit needy when it comes to her anxiety and being left alone but Paige followed all the instructions needed for my girl to be safe. Aria was comfortable enough to snuggle so that gave me peace of mind when I was out of town.
Mykel went above and beyond taking care of our pets and our home during our recent trip. Mykel was so gracious and considerate in accommodating things that popped up unexpectedly and was great at communicating. Our pets seemed happy and relaxed when we returned, like we’d never left. We’d definitely use Mykel’s services again in the future!
Absolutely fantastic. Needed an emergency last minute sit and Alexis was so accommodating. Alexis took amazing care of my 3 difficult puppers, providing great communication the whole time and even making sure some of my dogs idiosyncrasies were normal (they were but so wonderful to have that level of detail in their care).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tega Cay is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $97 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.

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 Tega Cay 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 Tega Cay 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 Tega Cay 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.
