About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby. I also have completed vet assistant school and have worked as a volunteer at the humane society multiple times throughout my life. I am currently working remotely so I am able to take care of your pets really whenever. I am pretty open to any schedule that you may have!! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.
About: I’ve always loved animals. Dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, horses, everything! Whenever a family or friend needs someone to care for their pets I love to. Gives me the chance to have more time with animals. 🥰 I’m a work from home mom so my schedule is pretty much fully available! I’m super flexible and can take last minute pets if needed. 😊 Our home has a fenced in backyard and 4 sweet fur babies to keep yours company. (2 dogs and 2 cats) We have crates and enough space in the house and backyard to keep all of the animals separated if need be though.
“Christine was very conscientious and kind when caring for our 8 yr old pup. She sent photos every day and always responded to my text messages. I felt that she took her responsibility seriously and spent quality time with our dog. Our house was very tidy when we returned from being away. All in all, a positive experience!”
About: Hi! I’ve loved, owned, and cared for dogs almost my whole life. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Pets are truly family, and I provide exceptional care for your four-legged baby. I am a full-time teacher who works 7-3 Monday through Fridays. I am available evenings and weekends day and night to pet sit or dog walk. Pets are family! I strive to provide exceptional care to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I am happy to work with your pet’s individual needs to ensure an excellent experience.
About: I’ve had pets since I could remember and they’ve always been a special part of my life. Being able to care for your pets, just as attentively as I do my own, would bring me so much joy. I’ve cared for many family and friend’s pets so much so, that I would love to start professionally pet sitting. I currently work an 8-5 job 4 days out of the week but have plenty of time before and after work to feed, take to the potty, and love on your pets. My weekends are very open and I can spend more time playing with your pet as well. I have experience in cleaning up accidents, walking, feeding, administering oral medications just like I do for my own animals. I am capable of leaving your home secure and intact while you are away. I’m sure I can responsibly handle anything that comes my way.
“Mark did an incredible job while housesitting our pets. He was very communicative throughout the entire process from first meeting until he left the house. We got plenty of pictures/videos from the stay. He even made us aware of an issue going on with the house and worked with us to resolve it. When we returned home the pets looked well taken care of and the house may have cleaner than when we left. We will absolutely be using Mark again and you can ensure that your pets will be in good hands with him.”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. With friends, family, and working at Petsmart as a pet groomer and in the boarding facilities. I have a dog and cat of my own. I am at home and available on full days as I work as an online therapist. Because I create my own schedule this allows me flexibility to care for the dogs that I am boarding or sitting. When visiting your space I am respectful and caring of your space. I am mindful of your pet’s needs and will engage in your requests to the best of my ability. My home is well maintained and regularly cleaned. We have a large patio and play yard. We might have multiple dogs at a time therefore we ask that your dog/s are fully vaccinated. If your dog does not play well with others then let us know so that we can make sure to keep them separate from the others.
“First time using Rover and Lee for house/dog sitting for a weekend. My dogs were happy and not exhausted from stress (like when they’d come back from the kennel). Both are a seniors- 14 and 13- and one takes a little more attention. Lee left the house better than I left it even (was in a hurry). Would always let me know when he was leaving to go take care of other dogs and when he came back. Will definitely be using in the future!”
About: I've been around dogs all of my life. Even as a baby my dad had dogs, and there hasn't been a time in my life I didn't have at least 1 in the house! I've dealt with all ages of dogs, from newborn puppies to seniors, I have the skills! I look forward to meeting your fur babies!! Currently, I'm working odd jobs here and there, so I'll be there whenever you need me if I have the availability!! I can stay as long as you need me to as long as I have a heads up If you ask me to do it, I'll do it!! Want me to crate your baby before I leave? You got it! Want me to put on their cartoons, done and done! I'll do any and every need for your animals, just be sure to tell me so I'll know!
“Jamie really liked Kimberly from our initial meet and great visit. He was well cared for, Kimberly worked during the day, which quite a distance from my home but still came back every day to spend her lunchtime with him, to get him out and play. Jamie wasn’t feeling well one day and immediately contacted me. She stayed with him and worked from home that day to be with him. Kimberly communicated and sent pictures every day. We found a winner, and I will definitely call upon her again whenever I have to leave my precious boy, who is my world.”
“Mia is THE BEST of THE BEST!!!! I would give her a million stars if I could! She took the best care of my babies and you could tell they really loved her! I would recommend her to anybody and everybody! Thank you, Mia for taking care of my babies!”
““Sunny” was such an incredible dog sitter. She was so attentive to each of our dogs needs. Skilled, intelligent, intuitive, and just very caring. She made it so easy for us to have an stress-free vacation, knowing our fur babies were in good hands.”
“Liv arrived on time, communicated throughout the time she was with our pets and left the house clean. Our pets were healthy & happy upon our return. I'd recommend Liv to others that need pet care.”
About: I’ve been around dogs if all sizes my whole life. I currently have two of my own, one being a puppy. I worked this past summer at a dog groomer/ boarder and it was a wonderful experience. I like to think that I am good with all kinds of animals except any kind of creepy crawly. I am currently in high school but I do nothing outside of that. My weekends are completely free and so are my afternoons unless I have some sort of homework which is rarely. I won’t be doing at home services but if I did, I have a big yard with a smaller portion fenced in. I have a Great Dane puppy who is skittish at first around other dogs but never aggressive and eventually warms up. I also have a 4 year old chiweenie who absolutely loves other dogs. I also have a pet pig!
About: I have experience taking care of all types of animals (dogs, cats, bunnies, etc.). I have medically complex cats myself, so I am comfortable giving medication or other medical treatments include IVs. I also have two dogs so I am comfortable with caring for multiple pets at a time. I know how important it is to have complete trust in the person watching your fur-babies. I’m here to build community! I start work mid morning so I am available for early morning starts. I can work my schedule to your time. I am local to downtown Greenville and happy to travel. I will follow instruction to a T so that you feel comfortable knowing your babies are in good hands. I am an extra-communicator and will happily send all of the pictures so you can get updates on how we are doing.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful with Milo! She was so reliable, communicative, and took such great care of him while we were away! She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also took great care of our house and left everything exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond and stripped the bed she slept in while she was here and put it in the washer for us🥹 she is so sweet! When we got home, Milo was clearly very happy and well taken care of! We felt completely comfortable having Alex stay with him and would love to have her watch him again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Watts Mills. 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 Watts Mills 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 Watts Mills 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 Watts Mills 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 Watts Mills. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
