“Kenzie is awesome! We have an older dog on multiple medications and she managed her perfectly. She is kind, loves dogs and communicated well with us while we were away. We felt super comfortable leaving our girl with Kenzie.”
“Kiana did a great job with our dog. We have a reactive dog that needs time to get used to strangers. Kiana was super calm with her and won her over quickly. She was also very communicative with updates. We would absolutely have her back again to take care of our dog.”
“Heidi did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly dog (Josie) who needs multiple medications at various times of the day. Heidi got the meds into her (not an easy task) without trouble, understood Josie's limitations and worked with them, and quite obviously made much of her. After just a few days, Josie was sleeping on the bed. Heidi also kept us well informed, sent us marvelous photos, and left the house spotless. We'll be calling again.”
“I cannot recommend Lydia enough for all of your petsitting needs - she watched our pups AND backyard ducks when we went out of town for the weekend. My husband and I came home from our trip to two content and relaxed boys (our dogs) and four happy and peppy girls (our ducks). Lydia went above and beyond by taking out the trash, washing the towels, and changing the sheets before she left…we’ll most definitely use her again!”
“Amy was wonderful! She took time to get to know us with a walking meet and greet. She was timely in her communication sending photos of our fur babies. She was very prompt with text messages and updates. She stayed in our home and left everything clean and tidy. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.
“I would 100% recommend Erika. She was great with our anxious dog and left our house cleaner than we did. She was very communicative and provided regular updates. She is also super friendly and I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home!”
About: Hi, I’m a teacher M-F and I’m hoping to earn extra $ to offset travel expenses from this past summer and to save for future travel. I love animals and think of this as a win/ win! The photos in my profile are of dogs I’ve cared for over the years (for friends, neighbors, family, and through Trusted Housesitters where I’ve stayed in people’s homes). I look forward to meeting you and your treasured pet. Free and flexible during the day and evening! During the summer months I don’t work. During the school year I’m free between 4pm - 10pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home once I’ve gotten to know them as a dog walker. I live near Hampton Park and it is a very dog friendly neighborhood.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As an elementary school teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before and after school, in the evenings, on weekends, and during school breaks. During the summer, I have much more flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to keep them feeling comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Zack was a great sitter. He was on time and sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. He was persistent on staying home with our dog and not in and out. Very easy to communicate with! Would book again”
About: Hi, I’m Katrina! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience pet sitting, fostering, and working with local animal rescues. Over the last eight years, I’ve personally fostered more than 50 dogs, so I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, energy levels, personalities, and backgrounds. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, family, and other local clients in my community for years, and I’m excited to expand through Rover and meet even more pets and their people! I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, and drop-in visits depending on what works best for you and your pets. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being loved and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets just like I treat my own and will always send plenty of pictures and updates. I also LOVE taking pictures of animals, so you’ll probably get more than you asked for. :) Our house is very dog friendly with lots of toys, comfy places to nap, a backyard to hang out in, and dogs who love making new friends. We’re big on sunshine, fresh air, walks, playtime, naps in the sun, and of course plenty of treats and snuggles! I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience while getting comfortable. If your dog has medical, allergy, medication, or special feeding needs, I’m also comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering medications. More than anything, I want your pets to be happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re with me. I’ll give them lots of love and attention, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure you never have to worry about whether your fur babies are in good hands! I am available during the day before work, for lunch time drop in visits, and after work during the week & on the weekends. I like to walk our dogs in our neighborhood, on nearby trails, or on the beach. I also enjoy playing fetch with my dog in my yard. believe a tired dog is a happy dog :) I have a fenced-in yard for your dog to play/potty in while they stay at my home. I can also crate your pet if that is what they prefer. I am able to offer frequent potty breaks and am not gone for more than a few hours at a time.
“Graham provided in-house care for our two labradoodles for a full week. A new way for us to provide care for our dogs while we are out of town, our only regret is that we didn't make this arrangement with Graham sooner. We received daily texts with pictures assuring us that our dogs were well. Graham promptly replied to our text to him. Upon returning home, we were greeted by happy, healthy dogs, everything in the house in order, and a confirming note with house plant from Graham! The backyard "dog park" was clean as could be. We will hire him again without reservation!”
“Carlie was awesome! Our golden retriever was well taken care of and our home was left in the exact condition in which we left it before our trip! Would definitely recommend her and hope to book her again!”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“I can't put into words how absolutely AMAZING Tara was!!! My pups *adored* her! Both of my pups can be quite a handful, yet Tara handled them seamlessly and I could tell she truly loved them. Because of Tara, I was able to enjoy my honeymoon without worrying about my dogs, since I know they were being cared for so well. Tara provided thorough updates everyday, including cute pictures and funny little tidbits about them. :) She communicated so well if she had any questions, and she took top-notch care of them. In addition to daily mobile updates, she left behind a detailed spreadsheet with hourly updates to read through when we returned, and this absolutely floored me! Tara also went above and beyond to give my pup a bath (she asked my permission first) and she even cleaned, did the dishes, and did the laundry... so I came back to an immaculate house after a long day of travel!! As a part-time dog walker myself, I have very high standards and Tara exceeded them by miles!! She is the absolute best, and I would definitely recommend her!!!!!! Thank you Tara!!!!”
“Sophie and Jason are a gem! They treated Cooper like their own. I would not hesitate to hire them because your fur baby will in extraordinary hands. We have hired them for overnighters, daytime and evenings. Each time they had given Cooper exceptional care. I would hire them over and over again. And you should too!!!!”
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years, and pet sat for clients with cats, dogs, and a wide range of exotic animals. I was born into a cat-lover family, but I cared for my two chihuahuas who lived for 18 long years. I now have 2 rescued kitty siblings that are super friendly. My schedule to walk, feed, and bathe is mornings, noon, and afternoons for drop-ins. To board, early morning or afternoon drop-offs are preferred, but can be flexible if needed! My 1600 sq. ft. house has a half acre of open grass field to run, play, and catch! Down the street are the beautiful Whitney lakes and several trails for leisurely walks, or runs if the zoomies are calling!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Wadmalaw Island is $57
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wadmalaw Island
Elise was fantastic! We have a somewhat challenging situation as our two dogs currently don't get along and have to be separated. Elise was really understanding and hyper aware of the situation, ensuring both dogs would be safe. Our dogs took to her immediately making us feel at ease. She sent a bunch of photos, walked the boys a ton and gave them the attention they needed! She stayed overnight at our house and was very respectful of our home. We will definitely be using Elise for future out of town trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wadmalaw Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wadmalaw Island on Rover is $56.93 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 1,627 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wadmalaw Island. 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 Wadmalaw Island 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 Wadmalaw Island 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 Wadmalaw Island 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.
