About: I’ve been the primary care taker for family dogs since the age of 7. I focus on proper nutrition and activity, supplemented by extraordinary love and affection for all animals; though dogs tend to get a little more :) Flexible work hours allow me to care for your dogs at odd hours of the day, and can often make special trips if need be. Set schedules are ideal, but flexible caring is not out of the question! I work from home during the weekends and would be able to provide care during those times as well. I have a rather large fenced in yard, with access to water and air conditioning (via doggy door). I have a roommate who is the proud owner of an English Creme Golden and is able to provide extra TLC should your dog need it! We have two dogs in the home, a lab mix and English Creme Golden, both are submissive and quiet, with a love for the outdoors and lots of naps.
“Did an amazing job, took care of everything and communication was amazing. Chris also made sure to send check in’s which were good and always took them for long walks.”
“I felt reassured going out of town leaving the dogs in Steffanie’s care. She checked in with me regularly, took great care of the dogs, and sent photos of them out and about each day.”
“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”
“The meet between Michelle &jade was great from the start! I felt safe &comfortable leaving her in my home for 5 days. I received photos and updates everyday. She took her for walks and gave jade lots of love ( I can tell from the pics). I also returned home to a clean house. Thank u soo much! Your the best”
“Madeline, was AWESOME!! Unfortunately our dog wasn't doing great before we left and she was aware of that and did everything to help him be comfortable. Then his injury got worse and she phoned and updated us on everything happening and we drove home. Hands down she is the BEST dog sitter we have had and Biscuit 🐶LOVES her❤️”
“Ella took great care of Max & Annie while we were gone for the weekend. They were walked, fed and happy when we returned. She is very reliable, easy to work with and obviously loves animals!”
“Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been a big animal person. I used to have a dog and cat and absolutely loved to spend time with them. I like going on walks and running during my free times. I’ve taken care of my friend’s dogs, and they know that I’m very big on making sure they are taken good care of. I treat every animal as though they were my own. I would love going on walks and playing with your fur babies. 🐶🐾 I work a full time job but have Friday, Saturday and Sundays off and would love to be able to help out anyone with taking care of their pets. I have church on Sunday mornings but after that I am free all day. I like going to the park and going on runs or a nice walk. I have a big fenced yard and will watch your fur babies as they play outside and make sure to show they so much attention . I will also make sure anything that could potentially be a problem be up high and out of reach so that your dogs will not get hurt or accidentally eat anything they shouldn’t.
“Crystal watched my dog for a couple days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent me updates. She followed all my instructions as my dog is older and has some special needs. I had a flight delay and she even offered to come back to take him out. I can tell she loves animals. I would book her again.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 7 years old and begged my parents for my first dog. We love all animals in our family. Walks, feeding, playtime and baths are no problems in our house. I currently working part -time. I live very closes to my job and can leave at any time to check on your pet. If your pet is crate trained feel free to bring their crate and I will make sure to continue with the training. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment. There is a dog park if you believe your dog would enjoy that I have no problem taking them. We have walking trails for me to take your dog on walk.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve watched numerous neighbors’ pets for weekends and trained and raised my own puppy. I’ve also grown up watching and taking care of two dogs, and I’ve cared for dogs and cats of most ages, breeds, and sizes! I work at an elementary school during the week, so most of my availability is during the evening and on weekends! I’m easily able to fit your pup (or kitty) into my daily routine! I’ve spent the night at neighbors’ and friends’ homes before to care for their pets. I’m available to take your dog on as many walks as he/she needs and I love playing games with pups outside or indoors, whichever your home allows.
About: I have my own two dogs who have never shown signs of aggression or any territorial behaviors. They love all dogs and their favorite thing to do is open their home to new friends. I’m extremely active on weekends and weekday evenings and love to take my own dogs to play, so they are always looking for friends to run with. I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have also lived in apartments where my roommates would have dogs and I’d watch them and hangout with them constantly. I am a pediatric therapist at a nearby facility in TR! I work full time with full flexibility to go in late, come home early, or leave to let your pup play/eat/potty! My partner works from home and spends a lot of the time with our pups as well- we would add yours right to the family for full days of play and love! I live near Swamp Rabbit Trail and Furman University for all adventures! I have a fenced in backyard, dog park, and a neighborhood for frequent walks. There are tons of opportunities to for pups in this area! I took a small break from Rover to buy a home and get settled. Now that we’re in and adjusted, I’m too excited to open my home back up to your loved pets. Can’t wait to take care of the most important part of your family! I am available everyday of the week. Although I work full time, my primary job is to care for my own fur babies and yours will be added straight to the family! I also have a partner whom I live with whose schedule is flexible and adores pups as much as I do (if not more). I prefer to a pup who’s parents are willing to do early or late pickups and drop offs as it tends to work better. Midday may get tricky, but I am more than willing to work with you. I have a crate if needed, but since someone will be with the dogs so often, I do not see a use! My other two dogs would love nothing more than to play and hang with their new puppy friend! I also offer regular updates, pictures, and videos of your pup enjoying their stay!
“We couldn’t have asked for a pet sitter. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and our pets were in such capable, caring hands. Our pets absolutely adored Aspen—it was clear they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It made all the difference knowing they were happy, relaxed, and sticking to their normal routines. What really stood out was Aspen’s reliability, communication, and the level of trust she inspired. It’s rare to find someone who treats your home and animals with the same level of care you would. We would wholeheartedly recommend Aspen to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional house and pet sitter.”
About: I have lived my whole like with dogs and have learned to properly take care of them. I live with my dog and he is a cuddly and friendly dog. He has taught me well on how to give dogs affection and I think that’s my strong suit! My dog now has bad allergies and frequent medical issues, so I’m well versed in specialized care and treatment as well. I understand leaving your pet with someone can be difficult, and I want to make sure you know the love and care I will give to your fur babies! , I take care of my dog (yellow lab) 24/7 by feeding, caring, bathing him, etc. I always am able to get stay on top of his needs and learn his different body cues. My lab also has medical issues, such as yeast and severe allergies which I do give him medication and provide physical relief through prevention and replacing his biting of himself to me petting the area. I also care for my mom’s dog (boxer mix) when they’re busy or at work. He is very energetic so for him I try to keep engaged. I will follow the instructions from the owner first! Before I do anything that I’m not certain of I will communicate before hand. I am good with household tasks such as cleaning!
“Caroline was perfect! She did an in home stay with Ava Riley. Ava has never been crated or boarded and feels most comfortable in her own home getting lots of love and snuggles. I can tell she spent lots of time with Ava, relaxing and making sure she was loved and comfortable. She gave daily updates with pics/video, had no issues, and I felt safe and comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my girl. Caroline definitely surpassed expectations and we can't wait to rebook her!”

Tanya is the dream pet sitter! I was able to fully enjoy a two week trip knowing my dog was in the best hands. She sent the cutest pictures each day, always kept me updated, followed all instructions, and even celebrated my dog’s birthday while I was gone! I even returned home to a spotless apartment and clean sheets! I would recommend Tanya to anyone!
Our go-to sitter. Jana not only took excellent care of our pets, sent photos and updates, took our dog to parks/brushed her, and spent a ton of time with all of the pets, she also took excellent care of our home. In the past traveling has been stressful, worrying about the pets. That has been erased. Genuine peace of mind knowing Jana is looking after our animals. Meeka (our dog) loves her! We are so thankful and appreciative and will be booking any other time we are away.
Outstanding Lisa I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa ! My dog became sick before I have to travel out of state as while I was away, and she handled the situation with such care, patience, and compassion. She kept a close eye on my dog, communicated with me promptly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Knowing that someone was there who genuinely cared about my dog and treated them like their own gave me tremendous peace of mind. Their responsibility, kindness, and calmness during a stressful situation meant so much to me. I highly recommend this pet sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Lisa you are amazing!!
We had a great experience! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took wonderful care of our dog. He absolutely loved her and was happy and relaxed when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Ana was an outstanding house and pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and our six pets (2 dogs and 4 cats), including giving one of our dogs daily medication and making sure the dogs got their daily walks. Her communication was exceptional. Every day she sent multiple photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by taking our trash out after I forgot to put it out before we left. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. I highly recommend Ana and would absolutely book her again!
We loved Samantha! She was so patient with our girl who was acting a bit shy throughout the stay and kept us up to date with what was going on with both dogs. The house was in great shape when we came back and both dogs were clearly loved while we were gone. We will for sure be booking with her again!
I cannot recommend Sara enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She sent plenty of detailed updates about our sweet girls, it was great to see they had a wonderful time while traveling. She always takes wonderful care of them and leaves our home in great condition. When our flight got canceled on our last trip she was even willing to extend the booking to make sure our sweet girls were taken care of. If you love your dogs (like I’m sure you all do) Sara is the best dog sitter out there. I would leave her 1,000 stars if I could!
Kristen did such a great job watching Piper! I can’t speak highly enough about her. She loved on my girl so well while I was gone and was very responsive anytime I needed to check-in. I will definitely be using her again for Piper the next time I go out of town!
Regan was a phenomenal sitter for our cat Scar. She was on top of communication with us and always sent pictures. When we had our meet and greet with her, we got along great and our cat went right up to her. She is trustworthy and what you look for in a Rover sitter.

The average cost of House Sitting in Welcome is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $71 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 Welcome 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
