“Wendy was phenomenal! We really appreciated that she reached out to ask questions & made sure she was doing everything she could for our cat, Macy. Our girl is in her golden years and finding someone who works in the vet industry provided us a lot of reassurance! 10/10 would recommend”
“I'm so glad I found Brooklynn to watch my fur babies. She asked all the right questions she needed about my puppy before we even met. She was right on time when she arrive and was ready to take care of my puppy. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing good. I will definitely have her keep me as her client. Thank you Brooklynn0”
“Anneliese did a wonderful job with my 3 French bulldogs. She stayed the entire time with them and gave us constant updates and photos. The frenchies had many cuddle sessions and lots of outside/playtime. She was very respectful and left our home clean and well kept. I’d recommend her to anyone who feels nervous to leave their fur babies as she will give them all the love and time they need. She’s a very kind, thoughtful and loving pet sitter.”
“Amir (and Tiana) were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy Nova for an extended period of time and first time using Rover but Amir sent plenty of pictures so we knew she was well taken care of. He checked in about giving her extra treats which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Grace was very professional and came prepared to the meet and greet. My home was spotless when I came back. Quick to respond and sent me pictures everyday. Totally recommend and will book again if our schedules line up.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 35 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I've shared my life with beloved pets, cared for neighborhood animal friends, and welcomed animals into my home. After losing our family dog a couple of years ago, I've found so much joy in sharing that love with other animals. Every animal has its own personality, quirks, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one. I'm also a registered nurse with 20 years of experience, which has made me patient, observant, compassionate, and attentive to the little details. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for a beloved family member. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I care for animals the way I would want someone to care for my own. I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet won't be spending long stretches feeling lonely! My husband of 26 years is also a huge animal lover, so there's no shortage of love, cuddles, and attention in our home. Caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy, and we love making them part of our daily lives. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. My husband and I are both lifelong animal lovers, and your furry family member will receive double the cuddles and attention! I'm also happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. For these visits, my husband would accompany me, with your permission, so your pets can enjoy some extra love and companionship. We respect your home, your pet's routines, and any special instructions you provide. With my 20 years of nursing experience, I bring an extra level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to caring for animals. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority.
“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”
About: I previously worked at a vet clinic in Estacada and a dog boarding facility for a couple years in Damascus. I have worked with many different types of dogs and cats. Animals truly have my ❤️ I do work a full time job. I have open availability after work Monday-Thursday, and later in the day on some Sundays! Willing to work around things 😊 I have my own pet. Her name is Reese. She will be 2 in August. Reese would love some friends to go on walks with. But I am more than okay leaving her at home if needed! My last was at a boarding facility for dogs. My boss would go out of town so I would house sit for her pets and the boarding animals. So I have passed experience with pets and house sitting!
“Jordyn did an amazing job petsitting my 4yo husky and 2 cats. I always worry with new pet-sitters that my dog is going to be too much - too hyper, too overwhelming, too vocal, and that she'll intimidate a new person with her husky antics and shenanigans, but Jordyn handled her like a pro. My dog loved the special attention she got from her new friend and the cats were clearly well taken care of. Jordyn was clean and tidy and respectful and the house looked great when we got home. We'll definitely try to book Jordyn again for future trips and I'd recommend her to anyone who asks!”
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”
About: I love dogs, their cute faces melt my heart. Growing up, I played with my neighbor's german shepherds. However, most of my experience come from raising my Shiba inu and taking care of friends' dogs while they're away, and volunteering at the shelter. Kiba and I love meeting other dogs and hiking. He is well socialized to play with all sizes of dogs. Currently I am available for dog walks and dog sit at your home when you're away. I would like to meet you and your dog first to set expectations and ensure you will feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in my care. I am currently working a flexible hybrid schedule where I split my time working in the office and my home, so your dog is never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. I take their safety very seriously. I don't leave any foods out in plain sight. I always lock doors when coming in and out of the house, and I always leash them when we're out in public.
“Starla saved our butts when we desperately needed a sitter. My wife and I were travelling out of town, and it just so happened that we had no one available to watch our reactive dog, Momo. We had just moved to the area and were wary of Momo's comfort, but Starla was more than happy to meet Momo and get her comfortable with her. On our trip, Starla sent constant updates, and Momo seemed super at ease and happy with Starla. While we were busy on our trip, it was fantastic knowing Momo was taken care of. We came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thank you again, Starla!”
“Lena was amazing! Really good with communication and updates while we were away. Our pup had a blast and it was super easy to work with Lena through the entire trip. Will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Pam stayed at our house for a week while we are on vacation, and simply put, HIRE PAM. She is an amazing dog sitter and person. She carefully followed all of our detailed instructions for both of our dogs (related to medications, walking challenges, sleeping arrangements, etc.), sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip, and left our house in perfect condition when we returned. We don’t want to use anyone else to watch our dogs going forward. Thank you Pam!”

About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
“I am so thankful for Chrissy! I have a very excitable and anxious dog and she is so good with him. I've utilized Chrissy for dog sitting and walks on many occasions. She always helps me to feel so calm when I'm away from Bernie and is great at keeping in touch with me during these trips.”
“My baby Charlie(Ragdoll cat) spent 4 days and 3 nights with Jen. I loved and appreciated the pictures she sent each day. Another thing I appreciated so much was the note she left my friend and myself. She is very kind and humble, and I believe took really good care of Charlie. I’ll be calling Jen again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across George. 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 George 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 George 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 George 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
