“Kathryn was wonderful! From her communication to her natural ability to bring a calm presence to my anxious pup, she was great from start to finish.

“MB & Lindsay are fabulous. This is the first time we have gone out of town and left sitters in our house. They took excellent care of Peanut.

They left our house immaculate, they were very respectful of our home and we would not hesitate to use them again.”

“Renee has been our go-to sitter for our sweet pup when we are away and we are so thankful to have her. Our otherwise anxious and tentative Tucker has connected so well with her. She stays in our home and leaves it as she found it, and takes great care of Tucker, meeting all of his needs, which differ each time she is here, while we are gone. Thank you, Renee!”

“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”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing. My babies took to her right away, and I'm sure they will miss her until the next time. She kept me updated and left my home as she found it. Will definitely be using her whenever I travel!”
“Aspen did a great job taking care of our 11-year-old, very stubborn, bulldog. We needed someone last minute because the person we had arranged to take care of our dog while we went out of town for the holiday cancelled. Aspen was quick to respond and came over to meet Newton ahead of time. She sent pictures and took very good care of him and our house.”
About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals. I know that dogs need their exercise and outdoor time, while cats might need a clean litter box and some interactive toy play. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I work from home full-time, which means my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I am available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, as I'll be right there working nearby. I can easily accommodate mid-day requests and provide plenty of supervised attention and companionship. I strictly follow all security and care instructions to keep your pets and property safe. I am a highly responsible and communicative sitter. I'll send you frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing while you're away.
“Great house and pet sitter! She has been a reliable and repeat care giver for our pets and wonderful house sitter while we are away. Prompt communications and able to adjust to the unexpected scenario. Definitely someone who I will request again.”
“The boys really love Jasmin! They did really well w/ a meet and greet, and immediately took to her. For the overnight stay, she was a great communicator with the updates and pictures. My boys, who are normally hesitant about strangers, had fun with her, and get excited when I say her name. Look forward to booking Jasmin again, as she’s a very kind, sweet and responsible person. She eases the anxiety of leaving your babies overnight.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Travelers Rest
Kati took care of our boys for a week while house sitting (6months and 10 yrs), and we couldn’t think of a better person to watch over our best buds. We got reliable communication, updates and photos of all the fun they were having. The boys agree: we would leave higher than 5 stars if we could.
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,138 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:
- 96% 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.
