“Sally was so accommodating! We have an older dog with many meds and specific needs. She got it all! Our other pup loved her attention and snuggles. She even put out trash/recycling for us which was so helpful. We already booked again! Highly recommend”
About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.
“Casey is wonderful. She took care of my dog in my house was always consistent with checking back in making sure I knew that everything was going smoothly. Really appreciate it. Can’t wait to book her again.”
About: I have owned a dog for most of my life, but do not currently. In the meantime I want to hang out with your pup! In addition to owning my own dogs I have spent countless hours volunteering at a humane society getting to know dogs of all shapes and sizes. I look forward to helping ensure that you have a happy and healthy dog. This doesn't have to be your average walk. I'm ready to walk, run, or play to their heart's content. I also understand that pet ownership is not all fun and games and I will responsibly take care of any serious issues that may arise. I also get along with humans pretty well, so reach out and let's set something up!
“Patti is the best! This was her second time taking care of our boxers and we could not be more happy with the attention and love she provides to them. Extremely reliable and we would have her stay with them over and over again.”
“Matt was wonderful. He was super patient before the sit as we were trying to book a sitter on a different platform. He came over before the sit to meet us and the dogs. He was super responsive and communicative before and during the sit- and was great about sending us pictures throughout our vacation. He also was willing to stay a bit later on the last day as our flight was delayed. The house doesn't look like anyone was in it and all so everything was as stress free as it could have been. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“Madi was excellent in caring for our pets! Highly recommend her in caring for your pets. She was always sending us updates, photos and in constant contact about our dogs while we were away!”
“Cheryl is absolutely amazing! She takes such good care of our pup, gives plenty of check ins, photos, leaves the house in great condition! We love her and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“Mitch was available last minute for some holiday plans that got moved around. He always responded very quickly. Our dogs were very comfortable around him and he left our house exactly as he found it! We’ve never had someone we don’t know stay in our house while we were gone but Mitch made us feel very comfortable.”
“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether it’s a bouncy pup who needs play or a senior dog who deserves patience and a softer pace. I just want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am available full time and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs, giving them consistent attention, playtime, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. In my care, they get a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine.” In client homes, I respect your space and follow your dog’s normal routine, making sure they have fresh water, a comfy place to rest, and, of course, lots of love and supervision
“AnnaLiese was great!!! We have never left our dog with a stranger before. Our dog loved her and she spent the day hiking with him and relaxing at her house while we went to a concert. I would definitely recommend AnnaLiese.”
“Coy was awesome. Our pups can be a handful but he did great with them and stayed in communication with us which made leaving them so much easier. He is definitely going to be our go to sitter/dog walker.”
“Maria did an incredible job with our somewhat tricky older cat! I would 100% recommend Maria. She’s fantastic!! Bonus - our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left!! She’s the best.”
“Sarah did such a great job watching our 2 doggies who are opposites in everything! She sent daily pics with updates & took care of our home while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!! Thanks so much Sarah!!”
About: I decided long ago I'll never live without a dog in my life. I'll treat your dogs as my own while they are in my care. Sadly, my two big dogs passed away this past year and we miss them terribly. I take special care of senior dogs, giving them extra love. I've also been teaching those close to me how to train dogs. There's no reason to gate keep that knowledge. So not only can I train your dogs, but I can also teach you everything I know. We begin our day with cuddles and stretches. I work from home and enjoy a half acre, fenced in back yard in Lakewood. We walk the neighborhood, as well as Crown Hill and Sloans Lake. My day care rate covers a standard daytime stay (8 hr). For significantly longer stays, I may adjust the booking total based on the hours needed. I have a small home with a huge yard. My little dog lost her two big brothers this past year and we're looking forward to hosting your dog/s to come play and cuddle. She's a typical little dog who barks at you ~~ then cuddles you.

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 Georgetown 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 Georgetown 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 Georgetown 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
