“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.”
“Absolutely great experience - my pups loved Tracie and she took such great care of them while I was out of town. Highly recommend and will use her services again. Thank you!”
“Truly the best! I always feel like I can enjoy my vacation more with Christopher staying with our pets. I know they will be safe and cuddled non-stop!! Couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cindy is amazing!! She kept me up-to-date on Riley all throughout the weekend and sent the cutest pictures of her. She took such good care of Riley and the house. I felt so good knowing that Riley was in good and loving hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to having Cindy again!”
“We loved having our pup stay with Jana! Our dog was one of the crew at Jana’s while we were traveling, and it felt like leaving her with a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better setup.”
“Wesleigh did a wonderful job watching my dog, Waldo! She stayed at my house while I was away, which made the whole experience much less stressful for both of us. Waldo doesn’t like to be left without me, so I always worry about how he’ll do when I’m gone—but when I got home he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I could tell he really enjoyed Wesleigh’s company, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a few carefree days away. It’s obvious she took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend Wesleigh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I’d happily book with her again!”
“Eva did a wonderful job housesitting my pets. I have an older dog who needs medicine and she took such great care of my pup. Both pets seemed so relaxed and happy when I got home, and the house was well taken care of too. Thank you so much for the peace of mind, Eva - I will book again!”
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.
“Athena did an incredible job with an elderly dog that has a few quirks, separation anxiety, and back issues. We would use her again without any hesitation. Her communication was frequent and detailed and we could tell Judy was left in the best of hands.”
“Madeline did a wonderful job with my cat and dog! They’re relatively easy pets, but my dog can be anxious around new people. She seemed very comfortable with Madeline. She followed our instructions perfectly, sent plenty of updates, and left our home very clean. I would definitely recommend Madeline as a sitter!”
“M.B and Lindsey drove 2 hours for a meet up a month or so before their sitting with Sasha, which we REALLY appreciated. They were not afraid to open up and get to know and play with Sasha. They asked lots of good questions before and after we left for our vacation, not only about Sasha and her wants/needs but what our expectations were regarding our home. We received pictures and an update each day and we were pleased with their prompt responses. Upon our return we were impressed to find how clean they had left our home. Had we of let her, I think Sasha would have gotten in the car and traveled back home with them as they were packing to go back home. The next day we could tell Sasha seemed to be missing them already. We would definitely book with M.B & Lindsey again.”
“Ana is absolutely a beautiful soul! She was perfect with my two dogs, patient caring and loving with them and that means everything to me. My Ruby has anxiety which worries me whenever I have to leave them, but she was fine, and happy I could see on the tons of pics Ana sent me. Ana has proved herself to be trustworthy and great with dogs. I had peace on my trip, so I will definitely be having Ana gain looking after my fur babies! Love that she is very communicative, and keeps you updated”
“Luke was amazing! He was very communicative and sent us photos daily. Came back to a pristine house and a happy healthy dog. We will definitely be using Luke again for future trips.”
“Payton was so incredible with our pup! She sent lots of photos and updates, I could tell our dog was in great hands. She was super flexible and accommodating to his schedule. I would highly recommend her services, we’ll be using her again for sure!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every animal I care for. While I may not have professional experience yet, I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their home environment. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and behavior, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of love, playtime, and patience. I’m also comfortable with both high-energy dogs and more relaxed or senior pets, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own pets every day. I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, potty breaks, and giving pets attention and playtime throughout the day. I make time in my routine to ensure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening. Providing reliable and loving care is something I prioritize in my schedule. I provide pet care in my client’s home by keeping pets comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their normal routines for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, walks, and any special instructions they provide. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their space clean and safe. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and preferences to make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away.
“Anna came to meet our tiny Yorkie, Teddi” 2 weeks before she was asked to housesit. Teddi fell in love with her right away. She updated us twice a day and took pics of her and Teddi .It was very comforting knowing that Anna and Teddi were inseparable and Teddi loved her snuggle time and tummy scratches. We will definitely request Anna again Teddi loves her!”
“We needed a sitter last minute and Bekah was there to help!! She was so kind and very flexible with our schedule. Our dog needs lots of attention and love and we’re certain he was well taken care of.”
“Mehlayne was amazing, she was patient with me and my girls 🐶🐶 I had a peaceful mini vacation thanks to Mehlayne. She is pontual has integrity and she is true to her word. Definitely recommend her services and we will be using her services again.”
“Catherine took such excellent care of Annie! She was super responsive, which we really appreciated! She also did an excellent job of making sure we were comfortable with whatever activities they did - walking on nearby trail, playing with other dogs, playing with her pup Penny! She also met us before hand to meet Annie girl and make sure the fit was okay which eased any worries we may have had!!! So glad to have found someone here in Greenville to love on and take care of any when we are away! We will definitely be using her services again if available!!!!”

Madeline did a wonderful job with my cat and dog! They’re relatively easy pets, but my dog can be anxious around new people. She seemed very comfortable with Madeline. She followed our instructions perfectly, sent plenty of updates, and left our home very clean. I would definitely recommend Madeline as a sitter!
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!
Eva did a wonderful job housesitting my pets. I have an older dog who needs medicine and she took such great care of my pup. Both pets seemed so relaxed and happy when I got home, and the house was well taken care of too. Thank you so much for the peace of mind, Eva - I will book again!
Jana has watched all my fur babies and house multiple times. (have 2 dogs and 2 cats) Great communication and very respectful. I have a dog recovering from surgery who she did great with-from the medication to give him extra love and care. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you!
Tanya took such amazing care of my dog while I was away! She sent consistent updates with cute pics, followed all instructions, and gave my dog so much love! My apartment was also very clean when I came home and the bed even had clean sheets. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands while I was gone. She absolutely loves Tanya and will be so excited for their next stay together!
Ana-Alicia is currently still caring for my pets as I write this, but I just couldn’t wait to give her a review. She has gone absolutely above and beyond to care for my pets! Her communication has been consistent, clear and professional. My dog is normally anxious around new people, but has seemed much more comfortable with Ana-Alicia than she ever has been with past sitters. My dog is weird and has had an allergy flair up while I’m away, but Ana-Alicia has been extremely considerate of her needs and made sure that she has been cared for and comfortable until I can get back home. I can’t recommend her enough and absolutely hope to use her services again in the future!
We had an amazing experience with Lori! She stayed at our home and cared for our two dogs/two cats while we were away. One of our dogs had recently undergone surgery and required medications, rehab exercises, constant monitoring, and a very specific care routine. She took the time to come by before our trip to learn everything and handled his care flawlessly. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with photos and messages, stayed incredibly organized, and communicated wonderfully. What impressed us most was the level of care and dedication she showed. Not only during our trip, but also by checking in on our dog’s recovery afterward. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. Very grateful will 100% be booking with her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Welcome on Rover is $63.24 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,083 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welcome. 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 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 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 Welcome. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
