“Lauren was wonderful! She’s was responsive and easy to schedule with. She took great care of my dogs and followed all of the instructions perfectly. I felt confident my dogs were in good hands. I will definitely use her services again and would recommend her!”
“Olivia has been a godsend. I have a large, elderly dog who is increasingly more trouble and requires overnight sitting. Olivia has gone above and beyond to make sure she is taken care of. My work travel schedule is unpredictable and she is always flexible and willing to help on short notice whenever she can.”
“Alice is a complete treat ! Both boys gravitated to her immediately and she was actually early and followed all instructions on bathroom habits and feedings. Feels good to have such a positive person in care of my precious pups ! You can’t go wrong with selecting her for care She was even irresistible to usually aloof Kooper 😃🐶🐕”
“Ionna is a lovely person and cares deeply for pets and their people. She is flexible and easy to work with. I could tell when I picked up my boy after his stay with her that he had settled in and had been doing fine. I had originally booked her for housesitting but we decided that it would work better for both of us to have her do boarding. She is good with dogs and treated mine like one of her own.”
“Crystal was absolutely wonderful with our dog! We left for a week and she stayed at our house where he is most comfortable. She took him on walks and played with his favorite toys. Would highly recommend!!”
“Well it’s official we have found our kindred care! Elli is a breath of fresh air, punctual would be an understatement! She listened attentively to each boys preference and schedule. Her active engagement with their one on one with toys (Kooper) and fetch (Dakota) sealed the deal! We are looking forward to the next care appointment and you should start yours now ! She’s great !!!❤️”
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I currently have 2 labs/lab mix. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family for years. I would love to care for your pet while you’re away! Teacher on summer break! I can pop in to walk or care for your beloved pet at anytime! Thank you for trusting me with your sweet baby! I currently have 2 dogs, so I’m very familiar with doggie needs. I am able to leash your dog for walks, supply doggie bags, play lots of fetch and more. I’ve also owned cats in the past and could care for their needs as well!
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced veterinary technician with a passion for caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Through my years in veterinary medicine, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing signs that may require extra attention. Whether your pet is shy, anxious, high-energy, or simply loves extra cuddles, I strive to provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful pets! I work every Friday through Sunday, so those days I am unavailable. I am off from work every Monday to Thursday - available any time of day. James and I do long walks every day. We refresh on his training by doing recall exercises. He has great leash manners and I reinforce his manners with lots of praise and rewards.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. We have a few ESA pets in our home for my disabled son. I am very familiar with training, walking, feeding, giving medications, and senior care. I have been a dog nanny for the last 3 years and ready to grow. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to give. I am available on weekends and holidays for walks, house sitting & pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and a bunch of toys and love to give. I love to play and work out with the pets if they like too. Water play in summer too. I am available to watch your pets at you home as well as do drop ins throughout the day.
“Absolutely blessed to find Robin! My plans kept changing so I booked her super last minute and she made time to fit in a meet and greet with Julian before staying. This was the first time leaving my dog with non family so I had a lot of concerns and very nervous about it. Robin eased all my nerves and I knew I could trust her with my baby. Julian loves her and she loves him and took care of him like he was hers. She kept me updated, communicated well and sent me pictures which made my heart happy. I will certainly be rebooking with Robin.”
About: I've cared for animals since I was very young, around 8 years old. I have worked with large and small dogs, providing all service needs such as bathing, playing, feeding, and medicinal needs. I am away from work for the summer, so I will have plenty of time and energy to give to your lovely pets! I can attend to them any time between 5am and 10 pm. I will take all aspects of your home into account when caring for your pet(s). This includes comfortable spots such as warm lighting, cool spots in front of/on air units, toy locations, and any areas to avoid (for large dogs I would be looking for things such as sharp corners on countertops and small objects that can potentially be swallowed and for smaller dogs I would look for potential ledges or obstacles in their way or small objects within reach).
About: I have loved and cared for all animals since I was younger. As a child I was always asked to care for the pets of family members and friends. I work on a 24/72 schedule. I am also in class once-twice a week. Looking for an entertaining and rewarding way to spend my free time! Willing and able to take on any task given. I am a quick learner and will do all that is asked plus more. Will accommodate to the best of my abilities.
“Kristin is outstanding. She came over before watching them to get them used to her, and she took such good care of my needy babies. She kept me informed the entire time we were away, sent photos, and asked questions. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12. My family and Neighbors trusted me to take care of their fur babies and I grew a passion for helping others I'm currently a part time college student online at Charleston Southern so I will have plenty of time to love and take care of your fur babies! I will care for your pets in your home by making sure everything that is breakable and dangerous is put away from the animals. I can crate them if needed.
About: I’ve never had a pet of my own but intention, agility, compassion and fun is the heart I lead with animals as a whole. I love meeting new fur friends. I volunteer with a pet adoption program Wednesday’s & Friday’s at Pet smart. I have church Sunday morning’s until 1pm. Every other day of my week is pretty open until I am reemployed. I am actively trying to become a professional groomer. I’m working on being CPR/First Aid for cats and dogs. I’m not stranger to family and neighborhood pets and my hands on training with pets is continuous. I plan to always give an update on the areas I grow in. I’ve only ever nested chickens in my home. I’ve never had a pet, cat or dog, but my home remains clean and well maintained. Very air sufficient as well. There is no negligence in my home. Whenever I’ve pet sat for family, I follow through with the instructions and notes given to me to treat their pets needs. Frequent updates are always made. The home is always how they left it if not better and the fur baby is well taken cared of.
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals all my life and been care taker with medicine, giving birth, wounds, etc and wouldn’t trade it for the world of the knowledge I’ve gained and the love for them! I work active duty in the airforce I work basically a 0730-1600 with an hour lunch but I live in the dorms so I just have a pet fish but I would love to be able to give some love to someone’s pets! I’ve worked around and with animals almost all my life and everything that comes with them and I am going to be studying pre vet for asu in the early spring of next year!! I fully believe you know what’s best for your animal since you know them and I am here to love them and care for them as you would!

FAQs for House Sitting - Timmonsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Timmonsville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 80 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Timmonsville. 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 Timmonsville 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 Timmonsville 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 Timmonsville 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
