“Caleb was terrific. My pets (dog and cat) warmed up to him immediately. He helped out at short notice, was eager to do his best for my pets, asked the right questions and during the meet and greet made a great effort to get familiar with the animals, so they'd be more comfortable. I would highly recommend him if you need a pet sitter. And he is just a lovely person too-even made me a welcome home dessert!”
“Jasmin was great! She is very responsible and took great care of my dogs. She also sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. I would definitely recommend her and I plan to use her again!”
“Michelle was a great dog/house sitter while we were away. She kept me up to date and sent photos of our little fur child so we knew she was doing well. Highly recommended!”
“We are happy to provide a magnificent recommendation for Alexis who recently provided in-home pet and house sitting services for me over an eight-day period. Throughout the engagement, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. My dog was exceptionally well cared for receiving consistent exercise, proper feeding, and attentive companionship. It was evident upon my return that my pet was comfortable, healthy, and had been treated with genuine care. In addition, she maintained my home in excellent condition. The property was clean, orderly, and well-managed, reflecting a clear respect for my space and expectations. Communication was consistent and reassuring, with regular updates that provided confidence and peace of mind during my time away. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to engage Alexis again for future services and offer my full recommendation to others seeking a dependable and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”
About: I had a small senior dog for a large part of my life that I helped take care of. As of right now, I mostly have cats, but I do have one younger dog that I walk and help look after. I’m currently not working any other job, so my schedule is very flexible. I have time to help out any day and any time except for Tuesday nights. I am eager to approach any situation with a calm attitude! I am willing to crate your pup if needed, or leave them out if that is what is preferred. I also will play with your pup as much as they need. For cats, I will change litter, feed, and socialize with your kitty.
“Emily is the best! She always ensures our pets are well taken care of and loved! She took our dog on extra long walks and when we came back the house was probably cleaner than when we left it. Highly highly recommend.”
“Lorelei showed up on time and took great care of Blu even with issues getting into my house (my fault/mistake). We figured it out together and I appreciate her sticking through the issue. She provided pictures and monitored her bowel movements to make sure she went.!”
“Katelyn took great care of our sweet pup with a last minute booking due to a family emergency. Zeke was tuckered out from all his fun all weekend long. Looking forward to rebooking for future pet sitting needs :)”
About: I am a huge animal lover. I have always had pets growing up, and I now have a 4 year old Rottweiler. I am comfortable administering medications as needed, feeding, walking, bathing, cuddling and playing with your pet! I know how stressful it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, I’d love to be that person for you :) I only work in the office Monday/Wednesdays so am very flexible the rest of the week and am flexible Monday-Wednesday morning/ nights as needed for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 4 year old Rottweiler who loves other furry friends. I also have multiple large crates to crate your dog if needed.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who would love to spoil your dog with love, care and lots of pets while you are away from home. I am an experienced pet sitter and foster with lots of love to go around! I grew up caring for a smart and sassy Beagle mix then became a German Shepherd Mom, then fostered and pet sat for years before adopting our gorgeous husky mix pup. I look forward to helping your dog feel comfortable and safe at home while you are away. I am available for dog and house sitting on weekends and some weekdays. I work a typical 9-5 and would love to spend my weekend with your pup. As a dog mom of large breeds, safety is always my number one concern. I’m diligent about closing doors and always supervise dogs when they are in the yard. I take lots of pictures and will give you updates throughout the day. As the pet parent, I will take your lead and follow the schedule or boundaries you have in your home for your dog. For example, at my house - dogs are allowed on the couch. But your house - your rules!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
Dawn did an amazing job watching our dogs! Prior to the house sitting, we did two meet and greets to ensure our dogs were comfortable with her and her husband. During her stay, she reached out whenever she had concerns about the dogs and went above and beyond to ensure we came home to an orderly house. She also had personal experience with elderly dogs and was easily able to take care of our 13- and 14-year old dogs. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.
Josh did great with our animals and home. We are really appreciative of his time and willingness to help when our freezer broke and when our flight was delayed. Our dog and cat got plenty of attention and the house was well kept and left clean! Thanks Josh!
Ashley is absolutely fantastic and took the best care of our dogs while we were gone for a week. We were overly anxious to have a new house sitter since moving to Savannah, but she put our minds at ease from the first meeting. One of our pups is a little difficult to warm up to people but he absolutely loved her and was giving her tons of kisses by the end of the week. She sent us worried pet parents updates every day with a message and photos that warmed our hearts. For dog/house sitting, we won’t trust anyone else!
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 for House Sitting in Georgetown on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Georgetown. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
