“Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard!

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized, dependable, and compassionate care for every pet I serve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I take the time to make each visit comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and stages of life, including energetic puppies, adult pets, and senior animals who may require extra patience, attention, or specialized care. I am comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, reinforcing routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and giving senior pets the gentle care they deserve. My goal is to give each pet the same love and attention I would want for my own. I prioritize communication with pet parents, reliability, safety, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their families. I don't simply "watch" your pets—I build trust with them and treat them like family while you're away. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as recurring care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and play schedules. My priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, especially those who may be shy, nervous, elderly, or have specific routines. I also maintain a clean and safe space by keeping food and water areas clean, litter boxes maintained, and potential hazards out of reach. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires trust. I treat every home with respect, communicate regularly with pet parents, and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Diane is absolutely amazing! Diane stayed in my home and sat for my 2 dogs. Diane was absolutely wonderful. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of my babies. I would definitely use Diane again for any sitting needs!”

I am also a cat lover and my family have always had feline companions. I love to walk and play and I will take good care of your babies. I have done a lot of house sitting over the years and will look after your home as though it were my own. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you 🙏 I am a writer, copywriter and a grant writer.

I have a fenced in yard and also a lead for the smaller dogs if they need it. Plenty of water provided inside and outside of the house and snacks.
“After our regular sitter of 3 years stopped sitting we were so worried. Then we found Darci. She was wonderful. She was very communicative and responsive. She just really got Carlos and his little quirks. He quickly warmed up to her and after the first few days I found myself not even worrying anymore. I highly recommend her and look forward to her sitting for Carlos again in the future.”
About: I have been dog/house sitting for over 5 years, I am very dependable and trustworthy. I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up with pets my whole life, making my love for animals pure. I have built relationships with all the families whose houses/animals I sit for and they have consistently used me as their go to sitter! Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have flexibility with my serving job and am able to take off or adjust my schedule on days that I am pet sitting. This allows me to have open availability and dedicate the time and attention needed to provide your pet with great care while you’re away. I provide dog sitting in my clients’ homes and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have been trusted by my current dog-sitting clients for over three years, and I also have dogs of my own that I care for every day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines. I adapt to each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship, so they can feel at home and maintain their routine while their owner is away.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
