“I’ve been using Kristen for almost 2 months 4 days a week. Kristen is reliable and very flexible with my schedule. She has a nice relationship with my dog and knows how to handle multiple dogs at the same time. Kristen’s uses sound judgment when all the dogs play.”
About: We've been caring for pets for years. Walking, visiting, overnight stays in our home, caring for pets has been a joy for our whole family We're a homeschooling family so we are home throughout the day and available to care for your pet in our home or visit with a pet nearby. We have a fenced in yard for play as well as trails behind our home for pets who need more adventure. We are able to adjust to a variety of needs.
“Magnoly is literally the best! She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our dog Apollo and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again! She communicates everything every step of the way and was sooo flexible when I booked the wrong dates for visits and when we asked her to drop in again on short notice! She couldn’t have been a better person for Apollo’s first night by himself and our first Rover experience, we absolutely love her!!”
“So nice to have the peace of mind that our girl would be shown some love and given company and a good walk while we were a couple hours away. Felicia was a great communicator and made us very comfortable leaving our pup with someone new for the first time. We would love to have her back to care for our girl again!”
“Adele was great. Was there when I asked her to be. Took care of the dogs and fed the cats. And she came on Thanksgiving. Reliable and friendly. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!”
“Chelsea took great care of our cat! She was kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. We loved the pictures she shared and felt that she did a great job. Thanks Chelsea!”
About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.
About: Hey! I’m an elder millennial who’s had a pet of one kind or another since birth (I won’t count all that in my years of experience though!) My family currently consists of two dogs, both well-behaved, friendly rescues from the south. I currently volunteer with and foster dogs for a local animal rescue. I’m excited to meet your fur babies! While hosting at my home, I’m currently only accepting female, housebroken dogs who are good with small children and other dogs. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and should my children be with me, they will be properly supervised. Outside of my home, I’m happy to work with male and female dogs of all sizes and breeds. While I can’t cat sit in my home, I’m more than happy to check in on your little love in their own space. I mostly work from home, but there are a few sporadic days where I’m in the office. If your dog being alone concerns you, let’s make sure we talk specifics before we book! I work full time and have young children, so I’m often on the go. Dogs who love car rides are welcome to join us! I typically take lunch break walks during the day - I’d love to have your furry friend keeping me company! I have two friendly dogs to keep your baby company. I can easily crate if needed. I have a spare crate, but can also use yours if it’s preferred.
“Grace was amazing! My cat Samosa can be tough to love as she doesn't like people other than me but Samosa was in such good spirits when I got home. I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life and have a lot of experience caring, raising, and training dogs. I lost my most recent dog, Buddy, a few years ago. I don't have a new dog yet but would like to help dog owners with their dogs and would enjoy the companionship. I am good with dogs at all ages and activity levels. I've had a lot of great experiences with people who have taken care of my dogs in the past so I am looking forward to paying that forward by helping to care for your dog. I'm recently retired and have some flexibility during the week so I will work with you on timing. I love dogs and understand the need for day-time dog care. I am happy to help with a one-time walk or check-in and would also consider caring for a dog on a regular basis. I live in Georgetown, MA and will consider jobs in the northeast part of Essex County and eastern Merrimack Valley. I can help you by visiting your home to walk, feed, or otherwise care for your dog during the day. I am patient and have a lot of experience raising and caring for dogs at all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I am also experienced handling dogs at all activity levels. I am a dog lover and know how to read canine behavior and apply my manner and techniques to match the dog's needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 6. I have personally owned labs and a cockapoo. I cannot have pets in my current apartment so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I work full time Monday through Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks after 4:30pm. I am available all hours of the day on weekends! I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing indoors or out, bathroom breaks and crating all breeds and all size dogs. I am also comfortable with handicapped/special needs dogs.
“Jen is so amazing. We trust her implicitly with my animals that have included a 15-year-old dog with medical issues, a fear aggressive rescue dog and two cats that love to try to escape the house. She is extremely communicative and loves the animals as if they are her own. I never worry when I am away and she is taking care of my crew. Can not recommend her highly enough!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Hope Kenny, I am 22 years old and just graduated from UMass Amherst. I have plenty of experience pet sitting. All the way from puppies to chinchillas, I’ve done them all! I treat all the pets I sit for like my own and giving all the loving care and attention they deserve. If you have any questions I’d love to talk more. I can’t wait to hear from you! I like to treat each pet I’m sitting like my own, and will incorporate them into my schedule as best I can. The only obligation I have is work from about 10:30-3:30. Other than that I am fully available to give your pets the love and attention that they deserve! I think it’s very important to make your pets as comfortable as possible. They are allowed on my couch, on my bed, and whatever room I am in. I will take them out as much as I can so they aren’t cooped up inside the house. I like to walk so walks are definitely in store if that’s something the pup is interested in.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Georgetown is $24
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
Olivia is exactly what I always look for in a sitter - responsive, timely, flexible (I had to keep changing my departure time and she was totally understanding!) and most importantly, so great with taking care of my cat, Franklin. Traveling is so much more enjoyable when I know someone is taking great care of him and treating him like their own. Would totally recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Georgetown on Rover is $24.15 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,787 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Georgetown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Georgetown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
