“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.
“Julie was wonderful! She came prior to our getaway to meet us and our animals. She kept us updated on how they were doing while we were gone and with pictures! My dogs seemed very comfortable with her! Grateful to have found her and look forward to more getaways now that we have a sitter!”
About: Our names are Nina Phillips and Erin Carns, we live together in Clemson and both attend as third years! As two college students, we both are missing the company of and caring for our furry friends back home. Nina has experience with dogs of all sizes, but has cared for large dogs like Cane Corsos up to 160 pounds. Erin has volunteered in shelters since she was young, and has lots of experience caring for small dogs like yorkies! We can’t wait to meet your furbabies and care for them like they’re our own! While we are both full time students, our schedules do not have much overlap, meaning Erin is generally home in the morning, and Nina is usually home in the afternoon and night. This applies to both pet sitting and availability to walk or let out animals in your home! In our experience caring for animals, we have found that the best way to facilitate a calm, safe environment and avoid stressing the animal is to do our absolute best to care for the animal exactly as the owner would. To do this, we love hearing as many details as possible- all your animals silly little quirks, your routine caring for the animal, and any other things that could help make the transition easy for them!
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“Laycie was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Loki! She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay and sent us daily pictures, which made our day to see how much fun he was having! Laycie was also respectful of our space and left everything incredibly clean and tidy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter—we would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have lived with pets my entire life, I have a 5 year old dog currently. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for friends and family frequently when they leave for trips and used to help my grandmother foster kittens! I’m currently a senior at Clemson with a light schedule so I can drop by before/after classes with ease! I have time in the mornings and afternoons for walks and am available most days for pet sitting! I have a very active dog and am used to playing or walking outside for enrichment time. I grew up around cats and dogs and am very fond of both! Whether you need someone to play with them or just keep them company I would love to meet your fur baby.
“Ashley did an amazing job with our two sweet dogs. We have a doberman and a pit bull and they are both super friendly she and they got along right away. She also helped us out last minute. We can't thank her enough for the great job.”
About: Pets have so much fun here, they try to come back in during pickup time! My family and friends also help play with dogs and assist with drop off. Look for the yellow sign at 1210. For boarding schedule between 7am and 745pm, only bring dog food. All pickups and drop offs must be before 8pm. No bowls, no beds, no leashes, there are plenty of extras here. Several dogs here play together everyday like a big dog park so I can only take healthy active dogs that do not have any infectious or contagious illnesses. The best fit is a playful friendly dog that wants to run and have fun (not a dog that needs to be alone or the only pet). I cannot take senior dogs that need multiple medications or dogs with mange, or bordatella or heart worms. I provide several services including boarding, training, walking, daycare and more! My boarding schedule is usually 7am to 730pm for pet drop off and pet pickup. However, I take a day off or two and friends or family will substitute for me. I do have some family time at dinner so its best to schedule drop off and pick ups before 5pm or after 7pm to accommodate the time it takes for new arrivals. All pets get to play with other dogs. Every dog gets free time outside daily I ensure all dogs are safe and create a calming environment for them! Puppies and small dogs are welcome and do great here with the friendly group of little dogs.
About: Hi! I'm Savannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of an 8-year-old Black Lab. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'm happy to provide a safe, fun, and caring experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I am free any day of the week! I would love to take care of your dog whenever your dog needs to be taken care of! My dog at home is walked twice a day and taken out every two hours. His water bowl is filled up every two hours and he gets lots of love!
About: I began working at Radnor Veterinary Hospital as a Boarding Attendant, where I cared for a variety of animals, primarily dogs, and was responsible for feeding, walking, medicating, and monitoring their daily needs. I then worked as a Veterinary Assistant at the Exotic and Small Animal Hospital of PA, where I gained extensive hands-on experience with both small animals and exotic pets. I assisted with appointments, treatments, medications, laboratory work, and monitoring patients before, during, and after procedures. This experience taught me how to recognize changes in an animal’s behavior and health, safely handle animals, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs. I am currently a pre-veterinary student at Clemson University pursuing my passion for becoming a veterinarian. I especially enjoy caring for rabbits and dogs, but honestly just love being around animals. I have classes regularly; however, in the afternoon and later evenings, I am usually free almost every day! I try to be really flexible; however, school does create some constraints. I make sure to locate the nearest vet in case of an emergency, keep a close eye on your pet during the whole time, and record if I see anything unusual.
“Camryn was fantastic. We needed a house/dog sitter for our 9.5 year old dog. She was caring, kind, thoughtful and took very good care of our dog while we were gone. She left our house clean with towels and bedding washed. You couldn’t even tell she had been there. If you are looking for a responsible and trustworthy person to look after your pets or home I can’t recommend Camryn enough.”
“Super sweet and such a pleasure to work with! She kept me updated on when she was heading over and even arrived 10 minutes early, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛”
“Olivia is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She goes above and beyond when she is with my 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog was recently sick, and she has helped by cooking his food and being on top of his new diet. She always sends pictures and stays in touch when she is sitting. I trust her completely and I am grateful to have found her here on Rover.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Townville on Rover is $69.93 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 335 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Townville. 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 Townville 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 Townville 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 Townville 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.

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.
