“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”
About: I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was very young and am passionate about caring for and saving animals of all breeds! I am currently a college student who attends school 3-4 days a week. However this doesn’t not affect my pet care because I prioritize any potential clients and can balance work and life! I make sure to give lots of love, attention, cuddles, and play time with any animal of any size. I am big on treat giving!
“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She treated our pup like she was her own, taking her on tons of walks, taking her on adventures, and keeping our sweet social pup company. We are so thankful that we found Melissa and trust her 100% to take care of Nugget in the future. I highly recommend having Melissa as your petsitter, she is incredible!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, I also have trained many puppies and older dogs in different ways! Ask for more information! :) I work during the day although after work and before work I am more than happy to check in on your pet! Even include walks! I care for pets in homes with care as the owner would! Treats, Long Walks, Training on basic tasks, hygiene maintenance and time to relax
“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, whether that being pets growing up or my dad taking me to the farm. I’ve been working at Cindy Lou’s Do’s for 3+ years now and I do weekend boarding every weekend for dogs, cats and even pigs every so blue moon. My compassionate and fun personality will ensure the best care for your pet. I work part time at 2 jobs currently and i’m a college student but im always home and have breaks in between classes and things. my work schedule during the week is either 7am-12pm or 12pm-5pm. On weekends I also do dog boarding and the times I go in to walk and check on the dogs are 8,12 and 5 so most weekends i’m free to stay for boarding as long as i’m able to leave in between. I live in a gated neighborhood with one dog and 3 cats occasionally when the one outside wants to come in. They are all friendly and get along well with other pets. Pets to me are like children and need to be watched at all times and basically coddled, that is no problem for me whatsoever. quite frankly i enjoy it.
“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.”
“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 have cared for many different types of dogs since I was young. I genuinely enjoy the connection animals share with us, and I am passionate about providing them with attentive, loving care. If you need care during the weekdays, I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your needs. On weekends, I am fully available and can provide flexible care to ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big responsibility. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, reliable communication, and structured walks to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and supported at all times.
“Coreena was great ! Did a wonderful job Pets and housesitting. We have multiple rescue pets some with illness and meds. We were comforted that Coreena could care for our animals because she is a vet tech. Not having to board them is such a relief! Our Rescues do not do well with boarding due to anxiety and past experiences. Highly recommend Coreena and will be rehired for future pet and housesitting needs.”
About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.

FAQs for House Sitting - Claxton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 151 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.
