About: With two fur babies (Maggie and Roxy) of my own, I know how hard it can be to find dependable care. I have cared for Senior dogs, puppies, and all in between! A sitter should give you peace of mind and I can do that for you! I'm currently working full time. My job is flexible with lunch breaks being a little more than an hour at 11:30 Monday - Thursday. I am also available after work from 4pm - 5pm. Fridays are much more flexible and allow me to visit your fur babies any time with notice! This side gig is helping me to pay off student loans! I care for pets per the owners instructions to a T. I would want someone to follow my instructions for my fur babies so I respect that with clients as well! I am quick to give you a call to clarify any questions I may have.

We needed a dog sitter literally the day before our trip, and she came through without hesitation. She kept us updated with pictures and messages the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was amazing with our stubborn eater, made sure he stayed healthy and ate well, and she handled our rambunctious puppy Remi like a pro. Both babies are happy and were obviously well cared for. 🙌🏼 will book again

You will not find a better sitter than Ryan. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I’m telling you - I’ve NEVER experienced such incredible ‘customer service’. My pup fell in love with him and I knew from the moment I left she was in excellent hands. I can’t recommend him more highly. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including my own dogs and cats. I’ve also pet-sat for friends several times, so I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I’m available for drop-ins anytime throughout the entire week and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and preferred visit times. I’m also very flexible with house sitting and can accommodate different schedules and care needs. During drop ins, I provide plenty of attention and companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and lots of love and cuddles! I’m also happy to bring in packages/mail, water plants, or take care of other small tasks around the home while I’m there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away In my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I give plenty of attention, keep things clean, and always make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m a responsible, dependable, and hardworking person who understands the importance of trusting someone with your home and pets. Growing up with a strong country and outdoor lifestyle has taught me responsibility, patience, and respect for animals. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and attention I would want someone to give mine. I’m also active and enjoy being outdoors, so I’m prepared to make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I pride myself on being trustworthy, communicating well, and following your specific instructions to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student at Georgia Southern, so my day-to-day schedule is built around classes and studying. I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for pets throughout the week. Availability: * Monday & Wednesday: Before 10 AM and after 5 PM * Tuesday & Thursday: Before 2 PM and after 6 PM * Friday: Very flexible — unavailable only from 10 AM to 3 PM This schedule allows me to provide reliable morning, afternoon, and evening care while staying consistent with your pet’s routine. I may be able to check in between classes depending on the situation. Your dog will be in a calm, comfortable, and caring environment where their normal routine is the priority. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship based on your instructions. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I will work to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they are used to while you’re away. Your home will also be treated with the same respect and care as if it were my own.

Charlotte went above and beyond making sure Sumo and Sake were comfortable in our absence!! She literally feels like family after staying at our home and communicating with us day to day with photos and videos of our boys. Her care and level of comfort with two large dogs exceeded our expectations!! She treated our home like her own, everything was the same if not in better condition from when we left. I highly recommend her and we will certainly be asking her to stay again in the very near future! It’s hard to find people that give you a peace of mind while traveling. She is reliable and loves your family like they are her own. Cannot say enough. Thank you Charlotte!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, and it has always brought me so much joy. I’ve been surrounded by German Shepherds my whole life and had my first Pit Bull about 10 years ago. After recently losing my fur baby, I’d love to continue sharing the love, attention, and care I have to give with other pets ❤️ WHY CHOOSE ME? I am reliable I am compassionate I am caring and loving I am patient and attentive I am trustworthy and best of all affordable 🐶 I own a business that really just requires my time in the mornings on some weekends. My daughter just started school so I have quite a bit of extra time to give to your little ones 🐾 I live on a large bit of property. If your dog prefers to run around or even enjoy a nice swim in our pond they will have the time of their lives. I also have a fenced in yard and a dog door for them to go in and out whenever they please.

About: Hi! I'm Haley, and I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even exotic pets such as tarantulas and scorpions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine care, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust with patience and positive interactions. Friends and family often tell me their pets warm up to me quickly, and I've had dogs become attached to me after only a couple of visits. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine, so fitting your pet into my schedule comes easily! I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I care for my own pet every day, including maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and monitoring their health and behavior. For example, my pet scorpion is fed twice a week, and I mist his enclosure twice daily to maintain proper humidity. Caring for animals has become second nature to me, and I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs extra love and companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe. I believe the best pet care starts with respecting each pet's individual routine. Every animal is different, so I make it a priority to follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as you've outlined. My goal is to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks while also keeping food and water fresh and cleaning up after your pet. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home (when applicable), I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable. I'll continue to follow their normal routine and make sure they receive the same level of care, affection, and supervision they would receive at home. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.

The perfect dog sitter for my family! I booked her for house-sitting in my home for my 2 dogs while I went on my holiday trip. My dogs are nervous when meeting new people but she was so calm and friendly that they quickly grew comfortable her. She sent pictures of them every day and I felt confident that she took great care of them while I was away. She was also super flexible with my schedule and was able to come watch them with just a few hours notice! I will definitely be booking with her again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Claxton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Claxton. 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 Claxton 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 Claxton 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 Claxton 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
