“Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!”
“Ashley was wonderful! She took amazing care of our senior ladies, especially Stella, who has anxiety issues. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about our girls. We highly recommend Ashley!”
“Baylee was absolutely fantastic! Extremely timely and responsive, very good with my dogs, sent me pictures every day, asked me any questions, and went above and beyond tidying up the house! Cannot recommend Baylee enough for your pets, they are in the best of hands!”

About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides. I’m available to walk your dog in the afternoon/night or check on your cats to make sure they’re good to go! In my home our two cats (Garbo and Ziggy) are always being asked if they’re good boys and getting lots of pets and kisses and cuddles to make sure they’re know they’re as special as they are

About: Hi there! I am an online college student, and can spend more time with your dog during the day while completing school work. I have experience with larger and small breeds.

“This is my second time employing Sydney for cat/house sitting and I can’t say enough good things about her! She is loving towards pets (even one like mine who hides all the time) and a super dependable and uber thoughtful house-sitter. There’s no one I trust more with my home and kitty Shilah 😸.”
About: I have been pet / house sitting for the past 4 years throughout college. I have provided in-home care for dogs with separation anxiety, as well as cared for multiple larger dogs at once. I can make it happen! I currently work part time so afternoons (after 1pm) are almost always available. Mornings would need a week or two notice in advance. This includes weekends as well. I currently live in a studio with my own cat. Smaller dogs are welcome but arrangements would need to be made for a larger dog.
About: I've had over four years of pet & housesitting experience. I am comfortable with all breeds and their needs, and always do my best to keep them comfortable while you're away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, or anything else your pet may need. I work in office Monday-Thursday 9:00-5:00 and 9:00-1:00 on Fridays. Outside of work, my schedule is open, so I can be with your pet frequently throughout the day. Caring for your pets and home is very important to me and I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pets in my care. If possible, I like to schedule time to meet your pet ahead of time so we can get acquainted and I can fully understand their needs and routine. I send photos/updates while you're away so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you and your pet happy!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have an energy-filled Siberian Husky that runs our home! Having a dog is a big commitment and I can understand the sadness you feel leaving them when you can’t take them with you. If I can make that easier by giving them love and attention while you are away, I would love them like my own. I am a stay at home dog mom and I also have 2 young kiddos. Dogs are easy for me, still learning the kid thing! My boyfriend Mike is also a dog lover and helps me take care, walk, and play with all the doggies we watch! We have a fenced in backyard. I can’t express how much your dogs will be welcome in our home! Honestly, It's like clockwork. I take care of my 3 children and our dog all in one. Pretty much like having 4 children! Caring for dogs is so much easier than my three wild children! I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a husky so I’m very careful with open doors and making sure they won’t run out of the house. Unfortunately I have TOO much training in this area. But you’ll know your babies will be safe with me.

I have loved all the Rover sitters we have worked with, but Hailee knocked it out of the park! During our meet and greet, Hailee asked engaging questions and demonstrated her experience with dogs. My house was orderly when we came home and the dogs were not stressed at all. Highly recommend Hailee!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Georgetown is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
