“Sandy was so professional and the dogs took an immediate interest in her. We have a dog with a lot of medical needs and Sandy did perfectly in giving her the medications. All of our dogs seem to have had a great time with her.”
About: My name is Ashley I absolutely love animals. I have 4 large-breed dogs and a bearded dragon. I have had animals as pets since I was a child and have been dog-sitting on the side for years. One of my dogs has epilepsy, so I am very experienced with medication administration, seizure care, and emergency medication administration. I have a large back yard and indoor space for our animals to play. I am a full-time dog mom, completely dedicated to our animals.
“Jess was great! She was super communicative while staying with our three pups, sent lots of photos, and was happy to come over the week before for a short meet and greet. We'll be booking with her again when she's available!”
“There’s not enough words to describe how amazing Jake is! From the very beginning, up until the end of his stay, his communication was off the charts and he sent so many amazing photos. He truly cared so well for our kiddos in a way that made us feel so at peace going into our wedding weekend. BOOK JAKE ASAP!!! He’s your guy!!!”
“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”
“Meliah did amazing with our girls. We knew they were being cared for with love. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to look after their fur babies. She sent us pictures and updates daily Of them and they looked happy and content with her.”
“Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
About: With 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide reliable, attentive pet care for friends, family, and clients. I offer in-home drop-in visits and overnight stays so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, medication, and giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays (in client’s home) throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can adjust to the times that work best for you and your pets. I care for pets with the same attention, gentleness, and love I would give my own. When I’m in your home I carefully follow all house rules, keep everything secure, and stay true to your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).
“DeAnna was very responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for watching the pups! We have a couple more sits booked with her and it’s nice to know they will be cared for while I’m gone.”
About: I am a vet tech that is passionate about getting pups out and about. Whether is be opinionated or timid, fast pace or slow, sniffer or all business all dogs deserved to get out and about and I am here to help make that happen! My schedule is flexible as my full time job has flexible hours. I am home most weekends and look forward to meeting your furry friend. I understand change can be stressful to dogs so I strive to make the transition and keep their normal routine best as possible. As well as checking in and keeping everyone updated.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.
About: I have been an avid lover of dogs since I was a kid! Over the years, I have lived with both cats and dogs and taken care of both for extended periods of time for family members, friends, and roommates! I currently have one dog, a mixed breed rescue from the Humane Society named Kiwi. She is my best friend, and I understand how important it is to show the same love and kindness as I do to Kiwi to anyone else’s furry BFF. Nothing makes me happier than making furry friends feel loved while their owners are away! I can easily crate your dog if needed and am very attentive and careful when taking furry friends outside, on walks, or any other activity! As someone with experience with reactive dogs, I know how to be especially attentive to those needs. I will treat your furry family as if they are my own! ❤️ I work full-time at the University of Kentucky as an Academic Advisor from 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Hoover, I am committed to walking your furry friends before and after work and checking on them mid-day, if needed. Additionally, I have pretty open availability on weekends and most breaks. I am extremely comfortable staying with furry friends in their own environment. I am also comfortable watching reactive dogs and dogs who need to be crated, as my own dog fits both of those categories!
About: I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and over my life I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I currently live with my adorable kitty. I love my cat so much and I would give your dog the same amount of care and love :) I am a college student and have class in the morning. On Wednesday and Fridays my day ends around 3:30 but the other days end between 10-12. Preferred to go into the client's home since I have pets myself. If you have specific requests for your animal, I try to abide by that as best as possible. With dogs, I prefer to always keep them on a leash outside if there is no fenced yard.
“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Georgetown on Rover is $25.88 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 422 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
