About: I am no stranger to the animal world. I have been active in the horse world since five years old. I have over fifteen years of hands on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes; Dogs, cats, horses, livestock, chickens and other various farm animals. I have experience training dogs and a love for working with older rescues! Taking care of the four dogs, horses, and chickens at home requires us to be up by 7 in the morning. My weekend work schedule can be quite busy during the summer seasons, and my weekly schedule tends to be constant yet unpredictable. Please feel free to ask about the scheduling details, as I am very flexible. We have spacious runs, 30 to 60 feet long, and across the road, there are hundreds of acres of trails for our animals to explore. Our mission is to keep them engaged and active, as their world is shaped by what we provide. With plenty of stimulation, we can effectively manage behavior and craft positive relationships.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've also dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors.I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving pets the attention they deserve. As a full-time teacher during the school year, I have a structured and reliable schedule. Currently, I am completing home training modules, which gives me flexibility during the day for pet care visits. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability and arrival times. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comportable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, medications, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, follow all household guidelines, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
“Sophia was great! She completed two drop in visits for our puppy! She was timely and communicated great! Shared pictures and how her visit went! Our puppy Olive loved her!”

About: I’ve owned a dog for 14 years and also have worked as a dog walker on Wag for a few years now! I love to walk and play with dogs. They have been my favorite animal for a long time. I volunteer for the MSPCA and I just love animals! I’ve walked dogs of several sizes and I am comfortable with most sizes. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’m also very experienced with house sitting. I have a garden of my own and understand the care and gentleness that comes with owning plants. I also have taken care of cats and other animals, so they are not a problem for me! I would be delighted to work with your furry friend or take care of your home while you’re away I work part time, so dog walking or house sitting will fit perfectly in my schedule! I like to spend my free time walking outside to enjoy the fresh air and get exercise, so walking your dog will be a breeze! I take the utmost precaution and care when it comes to animals. I follow all instructions given to be sure that your pet will feel safe and comfortable around me
About: My name is Meryn DeSimone, I am 22 and recently graduated from Elon University. I've taken care of a variety of different of animals and truly love spending time with pets! I currently have a chinchilla, Frank and a leopard gecko, Sally. My parents have two dogs also, Kip and Hammy and I have grown up with having dogs and cats around so they are second nature to me. I consider myself to be an organized and dedicated person with a big heart for animals. I would be more than happy to assist with any local pet care needs. I have plenty of time in the afternoon after my classes and I would love to spend that time going on a walk or taking care of pets! I can walk the dogs for long enough to make sure they are tired, feed them, clean up after them and even give medications or special requests that the animals would need!

About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Since joining Rover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for so many wonderful dogs, including several I’ve been lucky enough to care for consistently over the past five years. Building lasting relationships with these pups and their families has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a sitter! My experience ranges from energetic puppies to sweet seniors requiring extra patience and specialized care. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, administering supplements/medications, preparing specialized meals, and accommodating unique dietary needs and routines. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own dog, Murphy, throughout his battle with cancer. His care involved preparing specialized meals, administering daily supplements, and bringing him to regular vet appointments and to his holistic vet for his acupuncture! That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the patience, compassion, and individualized attention our furry family members deserve. I truly believe dogs are family, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether we’re enjoying walks, spending time outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, Rover has allowed me to continue doing something I absolutely love. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced, and dependable hands! ❤️🐾 I currently work from home so I can be extremely flexible with my schedule! I'm also available on weekends, overnights, and longer overnight stays if needed! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I create a warm, welcoming environment and follow each pet’s routine closely to minimize any stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, and giving them lots of love and attention! I make sure their space is clean and cozy, and I keep their toys and bedding fresh. For walks or playtime, I ensure they’re getting the right amount of activity based on their needs, whether that’s a long hike, a fun fetch session, or some relaxing cuddle time. I also monitor their health, providing any special care like administering medications, supplements, or preparing special meals if needed. It’s all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved!
About: Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just snuggles on the couch, I treat every pet like part of my family. I’ve cared for puppies full of energy as well as older pets who need a little extra patience, so I’m comfortable handling animals of all ages. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel relaxed and confident while you’re away, knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently taking classes online this semester, which gives me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate ample time to care for pets, go on walks, play, and ensure they feel loved and comfortable throughout the day I have always been trusted by neighbors and friends to care for their pets, responsibly following all instructions, ensuring each animal’s needs are met and they feel safe, happy, and loved while under my care
About: I’ve had furries since I was 4, dogs, cats, fishes! I believe all dogs and cats deserve to be treated with love compassion and attention no matter the size, breed, or species. I will love your pet like it’s mine and make them feel as comfortable as possible so you and your furry can have calm, fun and comfortable getaway! I work a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time for the weekend all day long and doggy care/drop in visits/house sittings after 2pm I am available to take care of your furry at your home and provide them with the best care as well as attention and exercise!

About: Animals make me so happy. I will fall in love with your fur baby and care for them like they were my own. My educational background is a BS in Social Work and (almost) an MS in Psychology. I recently left my full time office job and have free time before I start my next chapter in the summer of 2027. I have mostly an open schedule right now, until May of 2027. I am free during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I can do weekend help too. I prefer caring for your pets in your home. I have a blended household (myself, grandmother, and my husband) with 3 cats who would not appreciate doggy playdates. I also believe they will be more comfortable in their own familiar space.

“Samantha is a great pet sitter. The only opinion that really matters is the pet's, and he took to her immediately on the first visit. He's usually skittish and hides at first if he doesn't know someone, but there he was on the first visit, coming right up to say hello. From the human standpoint, Samantha is a kind person and professional. She shows up and spends time with your pet. Highly recommended!”


About: I love being active and caring for animals. I will be very attentive and provide your dog with lots of exercise, love & joy. I am available during the week and weekends for overnights/walks. I have been taking care of Friend’s Dogs and my own dog for over 20+ years. You will be assured your dog will be tired and in good care with me. I am an abstract artist and would love this opportunity to supplement my income. My schedule is very flexible and would love to put you at ease caring for your pet while away. I have lots of energy and love to spend time outside with your dog. I assure you will be in great hands when you leave your pet home with me!

About: Offering a calm, steady, loving and playful approach for you and your pets needs. No breed is too big or small. Growing up around and caring for animals I have a natural love and connection with dogs and cats. I’m here to support you for your needs with walking, playing, exercising, training, overnights and even specialty care as needed. No ask is too big or small. More than just a pet, they are a member of the family! Currently working part time and freelance so have a flexible schedule to accommodate different times and schedules as your needs require. We can come up with a set weekly schedule or on an as needed basis, When visiting with and caring for your animal I provide a calming and steady approach to getting familiar with your animal. I make sure to provide the most pleasant and rewarding experience by sticking to any routines, training, and treats while catering to your animals specific character. While being outside (in the yard or on walks) I ensure that the yard is properly closed off and/or they are wearing the proper gear for the selected activity. I make sure to abide by any food restrictions and that no other dogs or people come in contact with your animal for everyone’s safety.
About: I love that no two pets are quite alike, and I find so much joy in getting to know their little quirks and figuring out what makes them happiest! My experience with rescue dogs has taught me the value of patience and earning an animal’s trust. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specialized care instructions, and adapting to different routines! Over the next month, my schedule will be shifting to working at my once full-time corporate job, to working at the same company part-time, on Mondays and Tuesdays. This will leave the rest of my week open for pet care! I’ll be completing self-paced coursework around my pet-sitting commitments, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize visits, accommodate different routines, and spend quality time with the animals in my care! I believe safety starts with being attentive, prepared, and consistent. I listen carefully to owners’ instructions, make sure I understand each pet’s needs, and take extra care with things like leashes, doors, and surroundings. I pay close attention to body language and how dogs respond to unfamiliar situations, adjusting my approach to keep them comfortable and avoid unnecessary stress. I also prioritize clear communication so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Georgetown is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $47 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 9,161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Georgetown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
