“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.”
“Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,”
“Adele was wonderful with our dogs during her visits. She consistently sent detailed updates and notes about each visit, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to have her back anytime we need help.”
“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: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my heart, especially elderly and high energy dogs! I also have a special place for rescue dogs and have a great understanding of their quirks and characteristics. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom and have recently opened up my daytime availability to be able to help other families in need with fur baby help! I have owned and been around animals entire life, and after recently leaving the medical field and corporate world I completely understand the need for animal care when you are busy at work! My availability would be M-F anytime after 9 and before 2:30 for drop-ins, dog walking, play, etc. I have two large dogs and a large kitty of my own! A typical day looks like spending time with them, brushing them, throwing a ball, going for long walks, and anything that is engaging and fun! I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of animal body language and overall communication. I have trained all of my own dogs - past and present, and we always get compliments on what loving and well behaved animals we have.
“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!”
“Laney was FANTASTIC to work with! She was very responsive, and flexible, and sent me pictures of my dog happy and cared for which really brightened my day! I would 100% hire her again- and hope to! :)”
About: I love long walks with my dogs daily. We walk in the woods or the rail trail. Off season I love to the dogs to the beach. I am currently available any time of day to walk dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day to include walks, feeding, playtime, and regular updates, making sure each pet gets dependable, consistent care. I have 2 friendly labs who love all dogs. My house is dog friendly. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds. I have 1 acre of land and an electric fence for my dogs.
“Jessica was pleasant, punctual and great with our Bella! Our dog has anxiety and is not the friendliest around people she doesn’t know. But Jessica did what I suggested and was able to have our dog feel comfortable with her and even alerted us about a situation in our house ! I definitely highly recommend her !”
About: Hello! My name is Coralee and I’m 20. Ive been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I am new to the Rover community, but I know how important it is to have the right person taking care of your pet(s)! I am constantly around animals in my day to day life and I am comfortable around all dog + cat breeds and sizes!! I am always willing to adapt and learn any type of dog/cats personality and what suits them best as it is not only my time but most importantly theirs. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dog/cat I will dedicate all of my time to loving and bonding with them just as if they were my own! I do have medication experience with pills only. I am currently home full-time getting my GED online and I am available for drop ins, dog walking, and pet sitting. I will have more openings towards the holidays/end of the year starting NOV/DEC 2026. Please schedule all pet sittings a day or more in advance, I only ask this because I don’t want times overlapping. I have two cats of my own but they can easily be put in different rooms. If willing your pet is smaller they could also be crated or free-roam in my room or wherever I may be at the time. I have a very big un-fenced backyard and also a pool area with fence where we can relax, play, and even swim if allowed by owner first.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.

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!

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 of Pet Sitting in Georgetown is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $43 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 October 2026, there are 9,621 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
