About: NOTE:) Discount if paying outside of app. Cared for family, friends, neighbors and even lost dogs my entire life. My family has taught me at a young age to care for animals and the responsibilities it takes. I am more than willing to care and love any dog! Anytime a coworker goes on vacation I am am first to step up and take care of their pets. I have a part time job, so I am more than willing to discuss flexible schedules. I am available during the week, occasionally on the weekend, though my schedule may change. Please message me so we can talk details! Don’t have a fenced in yard? That’s ok, I love going for walks and playing outside. I’m more than happy to go to a dog park if needed. I prefer a schedule of typical eating hours, play hours, or potty breaks (if there is a regular routine). Any specific needs for a dog I am more than willing to learn and help.
About: With years of dog care experience, I understand every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. From lovable Basset Hounds and Great Danes to Pugs, English Bulldogs, English Shepherds, and rescue dogs, I have cared for a variety of breeds with different temperaments and care needs. I am dependable and committed to making every dog feel safe and loved. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing fresh water, giving plenty of attention, and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I am mindful of the extra patience and understanding rescue dogs may need as they build trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving compassionate care while you are away. I will treat your dog like family and make sure every visit includes plenty of care, attention, and affection! I maintain a structured Monday–Friday schedule, with work hours from 0630–0730, 0930–1130, and 1300–1600. This schedule allows me to plan pet care around my workday and depending on travel time and availability. I provide attentive and loving care in my clients’ homes. I understand pets feel most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. During each visit, I follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I value responsibility, consistency, and attention to detail. I will respect your home, follow your pet’s established routine, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you are away. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience and treat your pets with the same care and love I would give my own!
About: Hello! I’m Jennifer. I live in Hinesville, and had a 6 almost 7 year old dog named Zeus, and a four year old child. I have cared for dogs for my entire life, and my dog absolutely loved friendly animals of all sorts. He was a very excited boy, and very loving and sweet to other animals. We unfortunately had to make the impossible decision to put him to sleep on 10/08/2025 due to very progressive cancer, and wanting to end his suffering after many months of treatment. He loved having dogs over to play and love, and I know he’d want me to continue offering a safe place for them to stay. Bringing your dogs into my home I can promise you they will be so loved and cared for. I also have two kitties, Penelope who is a 1 year old siamese, and Pancake who is a 4 month old calico, both rescued from the streets as kittens. My four year old loves animals as well :) Due to being a stay at home mom, I pride myself on being as flexible as humanly possible with my clients, and their pets. I do ask for my time however to be respected. I do ask that drop offs do not happen after 7pm, and before 7am, as I my daughter will be getting ready for bed and the animals will need to get acclimated, and we do not need the extra barking while they get their excited barks out during bed time. You may message or call me at anytime however while I have your pets in my care! I’m very quick with replies, at max I will reply within the hour unless it is overnight, then first thing in the morning. I provide regular updates throughout the stay, at minimum every morning, afternoon, and late evening before heading to bed, so most of my clients have never even had to ask for one. I am willing to also provide a phone number as well for you Facetime if you’d like to see your animals in real time. Thanks for considering me to be the one to care for your animals. 😌 I have a strong background in animal medication administration as well, and can ensure your animals take their oral medications as well as injections as needed, along with eye drops, both in cats and dogs due to my dogs cancer diagnosis and daily medication use before his passing. I can provide complimentary nail clippings on your pets as well if you ask me upon booking or message me while they’re in my care. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to care for your animals 24/7 in my home, with potty breaks whenever necessary, at minimum every 3 hours during the day, and 7-8 hours at night. I have a fenced yard and I do have a crate to use, it is currently put away as my dog does not use it. But I can bring out if necessary for your animals if you prefer them to be crated during certain times such as night time.
About: My first dog was a senior rescue terrified of humans and dogs, and my current dog is a hyper mega-loving Coonhound! You can say I've had very different experiences lol! I've had experience administering medication for my own dogs as well as others. I was able to crate train my then 9 year old dog! My 2 year old dog is responding well to training, and has never met a soul she didn't love. I'm a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible! I work from home mostly, but I also rent a studio in Savannah- so sometimes I'll pop in for a shoot! My projects usually vary from 1-3 gigs a month. Happy to give lots of cuddles and attention! My own dog whines when she's not given love 😂 I can also crate when needed or we can work together with my laptop! I love walks and we can play fetch in the backyard if needed! Also happy to do any basic chores needed like emptying your dishwasher or vacuuming!
About: For over 40 years I have loved and cared for my dogs and the dogs of family and friends. I see them as a part of the family. I would provide care, attention, play, treats (if allowed), and medication (if needed). My home has a fenced yard, pet beds, and toys. We live near a city park that circles a lake and near a dog park. I am happy to accommodate any special needs, diets, and/or instructions. I know the stress of finding the right pet sitter. Since I know how it is to leave my dogs home, I am happy to provide frequent updates while you are away. Your pets will be happy when you return, but they will also thank you for leaving them in my care.
About: Hi! I’m Jason, a full-time SCAD student in Savannah. I’m available for Walks/Runs. Drop-In visits & pet sitting in your dog’s home. I dog sat 2 dogs while living and going to school in Chicago and we had so much fun. Coco & Bella 😭💕. I also have a dog of my own back home in Ohio who I miss very deeply. Her name is Lucy. She has a sensitive stomach and a strict diet so I’m familiar with dogs like that as well & know how to care for them. I’m looking forward to meeting your pet. Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’m currently a part time student & a part time employee at a sushi restaurant so I’d honestly like to dog sit whenever I’m available! My home is very minimal but cozy! I don’t have any pets of my own & I have no roommates or anyone coming in or out of the home besides me! So I can ensure the prime safety for all furry friends in my care!
“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.”
“Ramsey was a wonderful dog sitter! He communicated in a timely manner to set things up and was open to a FaceTime and meeting prior. Ramsey asked great questions about my dog and his habits / routine. From the moment Ramsey arrive to my home. He sent pictures and updates until his departure. I could tell my dog was so happy in his company! As a bonus, my house was immaculately clean when I returned! I would highly recommend Ramsey and look forward to booking him again!”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs starting at the puppy stage. I have an Aussie who is dog friendly and very energetic. I trained her to walk off leash as well as commands. I am comfortable with all preferences when it’s comes to your fur baby I work 5 mins (walking) from my home. I go home every 2 hours to let dogs out. I walk before and after work and during my lunch. I have a dog park right outside that is private and has space. I love with snuggle w pups and also play. I will provide photo updates to make sure you stay in touch!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Fort Stewart 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 Fort Stewart 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 Fort Stewart 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
