“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”
“Alexis was amazing! She kept me updated on my pup, she was respectful of our home and she even left us flowers and did the laundry!!! I would recommend her to everyone!!!! Thank you Alexis, we appreciate you so much!”
“M.B and Lindsey drove 2 hours for a meet up a month or so before their sitting with Sasha, which we REALLY appreciated. They were not afraid to open up and get to know and play with Sasha. They asked lots of good questions before and after we left for our vacation, not only about Sasha and her wants/needs but what our expectations were regarding our home. We received pictures and an update each day and we were pleased with their prompt responses. Upon our return we were impressed to find how clean they had left our home. Had we of let her, I think Sasha would have gotten in the car and traveled back home with them as they were packing to go back home. The next day we could tell Sasha seemed to be missing them already. We would definitely book with M.B & Lindsey again.”
“Kylie was fantastic and our dogs loved her. She was very responsive and sent us photo updates through the day. We will be working with her again in the future and our dogs are looking forward to next time!”
“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”
“Katherine is such a delight. We appreciate her so much for her love & care of our dogs & our home while we’re gone. She communicates promptly & regularly. This time, our niece (around the same age) needed to stay at our house for one night while Katherine was there. (I double & triple-checked all comfort levels in advance.) Our niece even texted to say how sweet Katherine is. We are so grateful for you, Katherine!”
“Anna came to meet our tiny Yorkie, Teddi” 2 weeks before she was asked to housesit. Teddi fell in love with her right away. She updated us twice a day and took pics of her and Teddi .It was very comforting knowing that Anna and Teddi were inseparable and Teddi loved her snuggle time and tummy scratches. We will definitely request Anna again Teddi loves her!”
“I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He was professional and kind. When we did our meet and greet my dogs were in love with him from the get go. He went above and beyond while looking after them. He sent me numerous pictures, took them on long walks (even though he didn’t have to) and let me know when one of my dogs meds was starting to run low. Chris is a rockstar and I am looking forward to working with him in the future”
“Grace was amazing! We left our puppy for the first time to go on vacation, and Grace made this an excellent and relaxing experience for us. She took great care of our baby, and our house was immaculate when we came home! We will definitely book with Grace again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands on experience with a wide variety of animals and pet care situations. I have over 5 years of pet sitting experience and spent 3 years working at a pet store, where I learned about animal behavior, nutrition, and general care. I also worked at a kennel, gaining experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have owned and cared for many types of animals throughout my life and have experience pet sitting a variety of pets, not just dogs and cats. In addition, I have personally trained my own animals, which helps me reinforce good behaviors and work patiently with young pets. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, administering routine care, following special instructions, and adapting to each pet's unique needs. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving care so pet owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands while they're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and am not working another job. This allows me to be available for pet sitting any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute bookings. I have plenty of free time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve! When I care for any and all types of pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care I would my own. I have over five years of pet sitting experience so I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I'm clean, responsible, and well-mannered, and I always make sure your home is left just as I found it while giving your pets plenty of attention, love, and quality care.
“Dawn made Baxter‘s first puppy sitting experience a positive one! Dawn kept us informed throughout the time we were away by txting us and sending pictures. This really made us feel comfortable and confident that our puppy was in good hands. We highly recommend Dawn, and we would use her services again!”
“My pet loved Aspen and Nathan!! Aspen sent me cute photos and Luna totally comfortable in their care. Made me very happy knowing he was well taken care of and would highly recommend her services.”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Cindy is amazing!! She kept me up-to-date on Riley all throughout the weekend and sent the cutest pictures of her. She took such good care of Riley and the house. I felt so good knowing that Riley was in good and loving hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to having Cindy again!”
“Sally was amazing! I’ve never left my fur baby in the care of someone I didn’t know, but after the first meet and greet I felt so at ease and was ready to give it a try by starting off with an overnight stay. Sally was very communicative and shared so many pictures where you could see that Addie was so happy and enjoying her time with her new friend. This opportunity has become life changing and I’m ready to rebook. You can trust Sally and know your pet will truly be cared for.”
“Kerstin was a wonderful house sitter for our goldendoodle and cat. We used her for the week of thanksgiving while we were out of the country and felt that our animals and home were in great hands! She sends daily updates with photos as well! We arrived from a long trip and travels to a very clean home and gifts for our son. What a pleasure. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Our very spoiled Labbies did great with Kyle. The house was well-taken care of during our week away. And now that they are buddies, we can book Kyle again for future trips...”
“Justin was great! He watched our two boys on back to back weekends. He was a great communicator and kept us updated and threw in some cute pictures too! Seemed liked our boys were comfortable with him and as a pet parent that is all we could ask for!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Travelers Rest is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Travelers Rest
Kylie cared for our seven month old German Shepherd so well, we were actually able to enjoy our time away and be truly at ease. It is such a gift to be able to trust someone with a challenging/intelligent breed, and Kylie made that easier. She’s so capable and has plenty of experience.
It was wonderful to have Kyle take care of Stormie, we knew when we got home & Stormie was so happy that Kyle had done a great job. Kyle is great at communicating and following care instructions for Stormie. He is also a very compassionate care giver and it shows when he meets your pet. When Kyle would leave for an errand he would let us know and always checked in during the day to let us know that everything was fine. Stormie and I would definitely hire Kyle again

FAQs for House Sitting - Travelers Rest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Travelers Rest on Rover is $49.95 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 1,145 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Travelers Rest. 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 Travelers Rest 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 Travelers Rest 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 Travelers Rest 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 Travelers Rest. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
