“We are thrilled with the job Megan did taking care of our doggies. She was attentive and caring and made us feel at ease from the first time we met. Our dogs are our “babies” and it’s hard to leave them but we didn’t worry a bit about them knowing Megan was there. She sent photos and updates which we appreciated. Would definitely want to have her back again.”
“Really helped us out in a pinch. Our dogs loved her, she was very understanding, communicative, and clean. I’ll definitely try to rebook with her when needed!”
“This is our second time having Gaby & Kevin watch our dog and we couldn’t recommend them more. They are very communicative and attentive; when you book with Gaby & Kevin you can rest assured that your pet is receiving great care.”
“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!”
“Melanie sent us updates and photos throughout the day. She took very good care of our puppy. She played with him in the yard and took him for walks. She also took great care of our home. We are very pleased with her service and will be using Melanie in the future.”
“Alina was amazing!!!!! She took the absolute best care of our cat and our home while we were away. She even brought our cat, Mia, extra treats and toys to make her feel comfortable and I could tell that our feisty cat, who doesn’t take too easily to others, loved Alina! I would absolutely use Alina again and highly recommend her pet and house sitting services!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love animals of all kinds! Since I was around 11 years old, neighbors, friends, and families in my community have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I truly love spending time with dogs whether that means going on walks, playing outside, sticking to their routines, or just relaxing and cuddling with them. I am very dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. As a full time Clemson MBA student taking online classes this summer, I also have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention and care! I am currently a full time MBA student at Clemson taking only a few online classes this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am available during weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I am able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. If pets stay in my home, I live in a great neighborhood for walks and outdoor time, and I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. I am also completely comfortable staying overnight in a client’s home if that is preferred for your pet’s comfort and consistency. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every animal like they are my own with lots of attention, patience, affection, and care!!

“Zoey B. Is an amazing pet sitter! She handled all 5 of our cats and two dogs over 70 lbs for the weekend. Our pets absolutely loved her, and they are pretty picky! Zoey sent us amazing pictures of each of our pets several times a day. This meant so much to me because we were very far from home attending my father-in-law’s funeral. Seeing my pets happy, healthy and safe with Zoey just gave me such peace in such a sad time. I highly recommend Zoey, and I absolutely intend to contact her through Rover the next time we need to go out of town. Thank you, Zoey! You’re Awesome!❤️”
“Jessica made it very easy on me and my little buddy while I was traveling. She had everything handled and kept in touch with updates to make sure I knew that everything was going well. Highly recommend and will absolutely rebook”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for dogs. I had two dogs growing up, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets lots of attention and love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule as a realtor and golf caddy. I’m able to be available for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and updates while also keeping the home clean and respected.
About: I've loved animals since I was young, and any day I get to spend with an animal, especially a dog, is a good day. I currently have a Shiba Inu puppy of my own, and have had a border collie mix in the past. I've worked for doggy daycares, and in a dog grooming salon. I've dog sat for "difficult" and anxious dogs and always won them over! I'm working part time right now, and the schedule varies, but most days and times work for me! I'm very flexible and can help make things easy for you! I have a friendly Shiba Inu, a puppy playpen, an extra crate, and a dog safe space! Just let me know of any special requests and I can make it happen!
“Nicole did a great jobs looking after our babies. We came home to happy healthy dogs and clean house. We will be using her again in the future assuming she is available. She is very popular and now we see why!”
“Anna came through for us after our original sitter was a no-show for the meet and greet, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She’s an absolute natural — calm, capable, and wonderful with our dogs. Her communication and follow-through were exceptional, and she went above and beyond in caring for both our pups and our home. We’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wando
We appreciate Laurie taking care of Beau and Izzy, especially during Christmas week. She kept us informed throughout the week and the pups seemed happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I appreciate being able to have someone stay with the pups in our home where they feel safe and comfortable. Laurie did a great job. We will definitely reach out to her again for future pup-sitting needs. 😊
Ericka was great!! We were from out of town and drove in with our RV and German Shepherd. Ericka was flexible enough and willing to dog sit for us in our RV. It worked out great!! We will certainly use Ericka again should we gss as ve the opportunity to visit Mt. Pkeasant, SC. again
Marian was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Scottie! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of playtime, and kept me updated with so many great pictures while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I could tell he was loved and cared for just like he would be when I’m at home. I highly recommend Marian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter—she did an amazing job!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wando
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wando on Rover is $55 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wando. 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 Wando 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 Wando 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 Wando 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.
