Elgin, South Carolina
Pet Sitter in Elgin, SC
Elgin households book us for the same practical reasons most Kershaw County clients do: somebody has to feed the animals, and somebody has to make sure the house is still fine. We handle both in one visit. Your pets stay in their own home rather than a kennel, and the mail, trash and plants get dealt with while we are there.
Wateree Pet & House Sitter LLC is a licensed and insured South Carolina LLC owned by David "Chico" Morales, a retired law enforcement officer, and it is a small local operation rather than an app that sends a different stranger each time. Visits are handled by trusted local coverage using the instructions and routine established at your meet-and-greet, with photo and text updates after each visit.

House checks and key-holder service in Elgin
No pets in the house? A house-only property check is $25 per visit and covers doors and windows, a general condition walk-through, mail and package retrieval, trash and recycling help and plant watering, with a written update after each visit. Properties with several animals, a barn or a coop fall under multi-animal and livestock visits at $75 per visit.
For Elgin homeowners who want a local contact on file, our authorized key holder and alarm response service is quoted per agreement: we hold a key securely, respond to alarm-company or homeowner callouts, meet authorized responders and secure the home afterward. To be clear, this is not a security patrol, intruder search, armed response, private investigation or law-enforcement service. If a crime is suspected or in progress we call 911.

Elgin pet sitting FAQs
Is Elgin, SC inside your service area?
Yes. Elgin is part of Kershaw County and part of our service area. Rates match the rest of the county: $35 for a standard in-home pet sitting visit, $25 for a house-only property check and $75 for a multi-animal or livestock visit.
My Elgin address is on the county line — can you still come?
We only take work inside Kershaw County. If you are unsure which side of the line your address falls on, call or text 803-373-0046 and we will confirm before you book anything.
Can you do pet sitting and a house check on the same trip?
Yes. During pet sitting visits we already bring in mail and packages, help with trash day, water plants and check that doors and windows are secured, so most Elgin clients do not need a separate property check while pets are home.
Do you give medication to Elgin pets?
Yes, when the owner provides clear written instructions and the supplies. We follow your written directions exactly and note what was given in the update after the visit.
How do I book an Elgin pet sitter?
Call or text 803-373-0046 or email chico@watereesitter.com. We prefer a meet-and-greet at your home, ideally 3-5 days before the trip, to meet your pets and go over keys, access and routine.
