“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.”
About: Active volunteer at the York County Humane Society Animal Shelter. Retired from corporate life focused on doing what I love. My pets have always been members of the family. 🐾 30 Years of Loving Dogs & Cats — Your Pets Are Family!

Available for boarding and overnight stays. Available for 3 visits per day I have a yard and full basement dedicated to pet sitting and can crate a dog if requested.

“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!”
“Our cat sitter did a wonderful job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She were reliable, attentive, and made sure our cats was well cared for. We appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing our babies was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Jeralynn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and having Bret house/pet sit. What a fabulous experience! From the beginning to the end of the process, Bret has been an excellent communicator. He scheduled a meet and greet and asked lots of questions during the meeting. Before our trip he followed up to ensure everything was ready. During our trip he provided ongoing updates and pictures. He was very responsible with our fur babies and our home. We will absolutely invite him back for future stays!”
“Sydney was an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She came over for a meet and greet before housesitting and watching our dogs. She sent plenty of photos of the pups and gave us updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her services again. She was very thoughtful and took great care of our home and dogs!”
“Chandler was great with our 4 yr old Luka - could not have found a better match! She stayed at our house while we had to travel out of the country and we came back to our home just as it was left. Lots of pictures were sent to us while we were away showing Luka was in good hands. While he was excited to see us when we got home, he also kept looking at the front door waiting for Chandler to come back. I've already told him she'll be back next time we go on a trip 😁 Highly recommend Chandler for any pet care needed whether its for drop in visits or overnight stays. She will be just as kind and caring for your animal as she was with ours!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing with Ninja! She always made sure he received the best care and regularly sent me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ninja felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. She is truly the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Lily recently watched my three puppies and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was incredibly attentive to each of them, kept up with their individual schedules and even took the extra time to work on training commands with them. She kept me updated throughout my trip with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, well cared for and having a great time. Lily truly went above and beyond and it was clear how much she genuinely cared for my puppies. I will absolutely be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible and dependable pet sitter!”
About: Caring for animals is a huge part of both my everyday life and my professional experience, so caring for pets is something I’m very comfortable with. I have three pets of my own — Chase, my Goldendoodle, Olive, my Shih-Poo, and Oona, my cat — so I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs. I also work professionally with puppies, where I help with their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, grooming, administering medications when needed, monitoring their health and behavior, and giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. I’ve also assisted during our mobile veterinarian’s weekly visits, helping care for and handle puppies during their appointments. Outside of work, I participate in day-cations with shelter dogs, where I get to spend one-on-one time with dogs outside of the shelter environment. It’s given me experience meeting unfamiliar dogs, learning their personalities, keeping them safe in public, and helping them decompress while still having a fun day out. Hi Friends, I’m Jeadyce! (Jay-Diss). Pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule, and I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and sitting! I’m currently available full-time to help keep your family’s needs mets and fur babies cuddled! I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs at home, as well as a cat. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, and any household rules you use at home. I always prioritize safe introductions and supervision around other pets, and I’m also happy to provide walks, outdoor play, enrichment, or plenty of cuddle time depending on what your pet enjoys!
About: I have extensive dog sitting experience and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, anxious dogs who need extra patience, and everything in between. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always strive to create a calm, caring environment for them. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving dogs the attention and affection they deserve. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and personality, whether that means lots of exercise and play or quiet companionship and reassurance. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I work full-time, but I carefully plan pet care around my schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care and plenty of love. I’m very organized with my routine and make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and quality attention before and after work, as well as throughout evenings and weekends. Because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, pet sitting is something I intentionally make space for in my life — not something rushed or treated as an afterthought. I’m committed to making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure while keeping owners updated and reassured along the way. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. I’m respectful, responsible, and attentive while staying in someone’s home, and I treat both pets and the home with great care. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tega Cay
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!
Sydney did an amazing job caring for our two pups overnight, especially on the 4th of July holiday! We are so thankful for the love and attention she gave them while we were away. She kept us updated, took wonderful care of both dogs, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
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).

FAQs for House Sitting - Tega Cay
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tega Cay on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,752 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tega Cay. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tega Cay. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
