“Morgan is fantastic! She’s watched our Hazel twice now and has been wonderful each time. Hazel has some separation anxiety so leaving her when we travel can be stressful. But not with Morgan around! Hazel has a good time too!”

“Will was wonderful to work with. Came over for a meet and greet and went over all instructions. He followed them perfectly. Took great care of our dogs and other animals. Spent time playing with the dogs and they seemed very happy! Took lots of pictures and sent lots of detailed updates. The dogs seemed very content when we got home! We plan to use Will services again!”

“You know how when you leave your dogs with someone else for the first time, you're never quite sure how it will go? Well, we didn't really feel that way with Lisa. From the first contact to the end of the stay she was friendly and accommodating. She did a great job keeping them in their routine and handling any unforeseen doggie accidents (like throwing up on the kitchen floor!). Our home seemed cleaner than when we left (a miracle) and our Labs were worn out. We could not ask for more. I'd be even more complimentary, but I want to make sure she's available for the next time we need her ;) Seriously, though, Lisa was wonderful!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies to senior. I have worked with dogs that have had trauma in the past and special needs. My goal is simple, to make your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family member, so I focus on reliability, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building consistent routines around their care. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide your fur babies with the attention, exercise, companionship, and reliability they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I enjoy making pet care a meaningful part of my day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your fur babies both in my home and in my clients’ homes. In my home, they are treated like part of the family and receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I offer boarding in a home with a secure fenced in yard, which gives dogs a safe space for exercise, outdoor time, and play. I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help parents feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When caring for them in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping your fur baby comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring they receive dependable, attentive care.

“Sandy took excellent care of our two dogs. Our 16 year old lab has a lot of trouble getting around due to arthritis, and Sandy was so patient and caring and helpful with her. It was nice to go away on vacation knowing that someone so trustworthy and responsible is with our fur babies. Sandy communicated with us throughout the stay, with regular updates and pictures. She also cleaned up the house and it looks better than before we left. I could not be happier with her service and highly recommend!”

About: Finding someone you trust with your pet matters, especially when they need a little extra patience or understanding. As a certified dog trainer, dog groomer, and animal behavior expert with veterinary clinic experience, I bring both practical knowledge and a lifelong love of animals to the care I provide. Dogs are my true passion and I have a lot of professional knowledge to offer. My experience includes several years working in a veterinary clinic, professional dog training, and the last 2 years working in a grooming salon until my most recent move here to Greenville SC. I have also fostered shelter dogs of all temperaments, raised foster litters of puppies and kittens, and cared for cats, rabbits, ferrets, fish, and more. Reactive, nervous, or more challenging dogs hold a special place in my heart. My first dog was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand firsthand the patience, attention, and thoughtful management these pets need. If finding a sitter who understands your pet’s behavior has been difficult, I would love to hear about their needs and discuss how I can help. My approach is calm, confident, and tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. My priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable while keeping you informed and reassured. Grooming services are also available, so your pet can receive attentive care and a little extra pampering along the way! My whole life revolves around taking care of animals, so your schedule will fit right in! Just let me know what works best for your animals! Crating or keeping dogs or different animals separate is no issue for me, I can give medication, do routine walks or make sure they are exercised in their own yard if needed. Just let me know your expectations and I will make it happen.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. The last 15 years have been with my sweet foxhound, Lego and for 4 of those with my laid back Bombay cat, Ivy. I’m a recent empty nester looking to put extra time to good use by caring for others’ loved pets. I work full time from home, and have a doggie door to my back yard that my work space overlooks. I like to take breaks and walk myself, so having a companion during those breaks would be great! I have a large fenced in yard and easy access from my kitchen. I also work from home and am able to go outside or walk pets as needed.

About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs and cats and have grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I also recently started caring for ferrets, which has been such a fun and rewarding learning experience! I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for pets with special needs, and managing more complex daily routines. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual schedule, and I’m always happy to follow your specific care instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and at home. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, medication, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to make sure they receive the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Your pets aren’t just animals in my care—they’re family! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.

About: Hi! I’m Joy, and I look forward to giving your pets the same love, structure, and attention I give my own. Living right in the North Main area, I am perfectly positioned to care for pets throughout Downtown Greenville. I grew up in a home where dogs were family, starting with two Weimaraners as a kid and moving up to two Great Dane mixes into adulthood. Today, my home is happily filled with my own Lab mix and three wonderful cats. I am incredibly comfortable with all personalities, energy levels, and sizes—from independent felines to giant breeds! 💼 My Experience Before joining Rover, I spent years housesitting and pet-sitting for friends, family, and coworkers. I have hands-on experience managing a wide variety of mixed breeds, high-drive working dogs like Belgian Malinois, and giant breeds like Great Danes. I understand the unique needs of large dogs, including leash manners, meal pacing, and proper exercise. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk around Downtown or a calm, structured routine at home, I’ve got it covered. 🗓️ My Schedule & Availability I work a full-time job, which actually works great for pets who thrive on a predictable routine! My calendar is highly flexible, and I am always willing to communicate and make things work to fit your schedule. For house sitting, your pet will get dedicated morning, evening, and overnight attention. For walks and drop-ins, I love using my breaks and off-hours to get your pups outside for some fresh air and exercise. I am free before and after work, around 8am and 4:30/5pm, on weekends all day, or even for a quick walk during my lunch break! I have a fenced in yard (about an acre) and a playful companion who loves other dogs. A crate is also available if needed. Many types of different toys are provided as well.

“Maddie did a great job taking care of my full household (2 dogs and 2 cats) while I was away for an extended weekend trip. One of my dogs is fairly shy with new people and her feeding is complicated with multiple medications, but Maddie was able to get her to warm up quickly and had no problem figuring out her quirks. Maddie also sent me pics which I loved getting and was always quick to respond when I asked how things were going. Would definitely have her look after them again in the future!”

Tracie is amazing!! She stayed in my house to care for my two beagles (one of whom is a very high energy, somewhat naughty teenager), and honestly I don’t think I can ever leave them with another sitter. She was so patient with my not-yet-fully-trained dog, and so communicative with me about everything that was going on with them. I have so many like fashion shots of the dogs that she took (seriously, they never look so cute in the pics I take), and I also have a sneaking suspicion she cleaned my house before leaving as there was no dog hair to be found under the furniture and in the corners when I got home. She is truly the best!!

Michelle was an amazing house sitter for our two cats. She sent us constant updates, and really got to know them and their personalities. We could tell how much she enjoyed them, and how comfortable they were in her care. The house was in perfect shape when we came back, and she even generously agreed to help keep our outdoor plants alive through a heat wave. She was very communicative about her schedule, and made sure the girls and their routines were a priority. It was a huge relief to have her at the house with them while we were gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Timberlake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Timberlake is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 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 November 2026, there are 993 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timberlake. 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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake 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 Timberlake 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Timberlake. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
