“Wonderful, caring, conscientious. Matt took excellent care of our dogs and home while we were out of town. He sent us regular updates and pictures. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter.”
“Andrea is everything you could want in a pet sitter — and then some. She’s responsible, communicative, and organized, but what truly sets her apart is the genuine warmth and kindness she brings to every interaction. While caring for my cats, she sent regular updates and adorable photos that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she wasn’t just doing a job — she truly cared about their well-being. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets, I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough.”
“My regular pet sitter cancelled a week before my trip so I went on Rover and found Ellie. She is very responsible and took good care of my cats. She is quickly responsive to texts and made sure to leave the house in good shape for my return. My cats looked calm and well cared for upon my return. I would recommend Ellie to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Summer leaves the house in perfect condition. She spend time with my cats so they are well socialized when I get back and treat me like I'd never left. She takes care of plants and even organized the cat food drawer. You could not get a better cat/house sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for them as a kid, everything from feeding and walks to training and cuddles. Since I turned 20, I’ve been professionally dog sitting and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to connect with them, understand their needs, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available most days of the week and am flexible with scheduling, so I can easily adapt to you and your pup’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing company and comfort, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with dogs and treat them like part of the family. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started professionally pet sitting in my early 20s, so I know how important it is for your pup to feel comfortable and safe in their own home. Whether I’m caring for a high-energy puppy or a slow-moving senior, I bring patience, love, and plenty of attention to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I always do my best to stick to your dog’s routine and keep things clean and respectful in your home—like a familiar, trusted friend stepping in when you need an extra hand.

I deeply love to care for others! I will attune to your animals needs, keep your home tidy, and make sure your plants grow beautifully!

“Natisha was an amazing sitter for our Louie. She was attentive, gave updates, and our Louie boy absolutely loved her! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
About: Hi, I'm Heather! Thanks for stopping by. I've recently reopened my Rover profile after taking some time away, but I've spent the last 25 years working with animals in a variety of professional settings. I've worked as a dog trainer, groomer, veterinary assistant, pet sitter, and in boarding and daycare facilities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs medications, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated while you're away. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. When caring for your pet, I strive to keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I pay close attention to their individual needs, preferences, and comfort level. My home is dog-friendly, with a secure fenced yard and dog door access. Pets staying with me are welcome on the furniture and bed if that is allowed in their home, though I'm happy to follow any household rules you prefer. When providing drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and mindful of both your pets' well-being and the security of your property. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing that your pets and home are in capable hands. Safety is always my top priority. With more than 25 years of animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing stress signals, managing introductions between animals, administering medications, and adapting care to each pet's individual needs and temperament. My household includes two friendly resident dogs. Because every animal is different, I carefully assess compatibility and can separate pets when needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and safe. For boarding, I only accept dogs that are well-socialized and have no history of aggression toward other animals. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals beyond dogs and cats, including horses, goats, sheep, poultry, birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I am happy to care for multi-pet households and can also help with plants, gardens, and other basic home-care tasks while you're away.
About: Only available for house/dog sitting in the owners home at the moment. Excellent references. I have taken care of dogs all of my adult life from my own pet to I many others. I have experiences with all sizes and ages and have spent significant time with elderly and special needs (detailed care sheets are a must). I am available anytime to house sit or come by and walk your pet. I work Monday- Friday 8-5p with the opportunity to work from home if needed (advanced notice required). I am up for playing inside or out and allowing the chance for them to burn off energy and have fun. I love playing games with them that get their brains working. I am all for pet snuggles and enjoy making snacks and treats for them.
“Ginger took great care of our 2 dogs and home while we vacationed for spring break. She was very communicative and the dogs were well cared for! Highly recommend Ginger for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have had many different animals my entire life including cats, ferrets, chinchillas, chickens, ducks, hamsters, rabbits… In my 20’s I founded “Not Just Pets, Professional Pet Care”. In my 30’s I founded “Equine Specialist, Care and Training”. I had horses for over 30 years. I trained, showed, pleasure road, belonged to 3 horse clubs and eventually started my own 4-H club. I have bred and trained Boston Terriers and German Shepherds. Currently, I have 4 dogs that I rescued from a SC kill shelter. I have worked with Aly from Coal Mountain and Karen from Arcadia Animal Rescue’s. Both have been amazed by how well adjusted the four dogs have become considering how terrified they were in which no one else would take a chance on. Animals are my passion and greatest friends! I am currently taking an online course to become a Certified Canine Massage Therapist. I work for myself taking care of Seniors and animals. Relocated 04.07.2025 from Maine. I make my own schedule and am flexible to care for your furry family! Every situation can be different. Meeting with the client and their animals is important. I like to know about any vices, medications, vet info, where supplies are at, etc. Taking notes and leaving daily notes for each client keeps communication open and I find is appreciated.
About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.
“WOW!!! Grant exceeded all of our expectations. He watched both our house and our pups with great care. As for the home, it was in better shape than when we left it. Never expected for a young man to mop our home. Amazing. As for the dogs they were extremely happy and comfortable. My only complaint is the dogs now have higher expectations for me. He walked with them and taught Enzo to run with him. Now they demand more and better exercise. Grant was phenomenal and we highly recommend him. Mature beyond his years.”
“Briana was amazing with all of my dogs. Two of them can be very timid and were very comfortable with her in no time. She helped me for two weeks and when I arrived home the dogs were all happy and healthy and my home was clean and tidy. Would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! On Trusted Housesitters, I completed 26 petsits, taking care of 45 animals (26 cats, 17 dogs and 2 bunnies). You can see the testimonials from some of those petsits in my profile. Now that I am settled in Western NC, I'm excited to open myself up to the Rover community as well! Besides petsitting, I volunteered at animal shelters, helped rescue and rehab birds, and took care of animals on the farm. I have experience administering medicine and in case of any emergencies, I will always have my car which is a comfort. I also provide daily updates, so you will feel more than comfortable with me looking after your home, pets and plants :) Being a work-from-home professional allows me to give your pets all the cuddles, company, and treats (with your permission) that they desire. This has been my lifestyle for the past year and a half, so the transition for both me and pet are seamless. As a traveler myself, I can relate to being worried about leaving your home and valuables for days, weeks, and even months at a time. Therefore, I will take care of your pets and plants as if they were my own and leave your home clean and organized, so you don’t have extra work when you get back. You deserve that peace of mind and I will always provide that.
“Ava was an excellent sitter for Lupe while we were away for over a week. She kept me informed and responded quickly to my questions. I was worried about Lupe's joint problem but was pleased to find that she was not limping at all when I returned. She seemed very happy and not stressed at all. I would definitely recommend Ava as a sitter.”
“Suzanne is simply amazing! This was our second time booking her, and without a doubt, we’ll keep coming back. She treats my senior dogs, Gidget and Elvira, with such kindness and care—it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. From thoughtful updates to going above and beyond to accommodate their needs, Suzanne provides peace of mind that’s hard to find. Her kindness and reliability make her an absolute gem. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Marion on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Marion. 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 West Marion 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 West Marion 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 West Marion 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 West Marion. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
