“Avery took wonderful care of our dog for a full week while we were on vacation. This was our first time using Rover, and he truly exceeded all of our expectations. He was incredibly communicative, providing updates that helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It made such a difference knowing our dog was in great hands. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“We had such a great experience with Rebecca and felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were being so well cared for while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, you could tell she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like they were her own. They were happy, comfortable, and well loved when we got home. It means so much to be able to leave your pets with someone you can trust, and we would absolutely have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”
“We’re starting to think our dogs might like Jonas more than us 🤣. As always, our minds were at ease thanks to Jonas’ great care of our pups and frequent updates. We’re so lucky to have found you.”
“Craig and Chelsea were amazing. They took such great care of our house and our dog. She was so well loved and taken care of. Our dog is a very anxious dog and she had a blast with them. They were so flexible as well when our flight was delayed a day and they made sure our dog was still well taken care of. So glad we had them taking care of our pup!”
“Thrilled to find Marcela the first time I used Rover. She sent great pictures of all three dogs who appeared to enjoy her company. I won’t hesitate to go away again knowing I have reliable pet care with Marcela in my home!”
“Stephanie did a great job with Luca, and they bonded after a day or two. She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and even washed all the linens she used. Will definitely be using her again!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Katherine watch our two Labrador Retrievers—one a gentle giant at 12 ½ years old and 100 pounds, and the other a lively 7-year old at 65 pounds—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care she provided. Katherine followed our instructions to a tee, making sure both dogs got all the exercise they needed, despite their different energy levels. She also took outstanding care of our home. Her genuine love for animals shone through in the way she handled our dogs. We came home to two very happy and well cared for Labs. We would highly, highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away.”
“Lauren did a wonderful job watching our older pup, Lucy and our new puppy, Ashe! She was timely, communicative and a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her again in the future. We highly recommend booking with Lauren!”
“Taryn stayed at my house with Moxie for eight days and seven nights. She sent daily check-in texts with photos. She took great care of Moxie with walks and cuddles. And Taryn left the house in great shape for my return. I recommend her highly. Moxie loved her!”
“Candi cared for our dogs in our home for seven days, and we were very pleased with the care she provided. She followed their routines closely and adhered to their feeding schedules, medications, and complex care needs. She was professional, punctual, and dependable, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. One of our dogs is a paralyzed French Bulldog who requires specialized care, including regular bladder expressions and assistance with getting in and out of her wheelchair on a strict schedule. Candi handled these responsibilities with care and consistency, giving us confidence that our dog’s unique needs were being met. It was clear our dogs were loved and well cared for while we were away, and we returned to an immaculate home. The only feedback we would offer is that we would have appreciated more frequent daily updates and photos throughout our trip. Overall, we would absolutely hire Candi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Quincy! I’m a reliable, active pet sitter with lifelong experience caring for animals. I specialize in dogs and cats and treat every pet like part of the family. I’ve lived with animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, snakes, frogs, and ferrets. I understand that pets thrive on routine, attention, and trust, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very comfortable with cats who are playful, cuddly, shy, independent, or even a bit aggressive, and I respect their boundaries while making sure they’re safe and well cared for. I have experience with multi-cat households and understand that not all cats want constant interaction. I live an active lifestyle and love giving dogs the exercise and enrichment they need through walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to provide calm companionship, routine care, and plenty of affection when wanted. I’m available after work and on weekends and am known for being punctual, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I can take care of pets after work and am free on weekends. I live an active lifestyle and look forward to giving your pets as much exercise as they need! I create a fun, friendly, safe environment for your pet so they barely even notice you’re away! If they need exercise, training reinforcement, or cuddles, I’m there for them!
“This was the first time I used Katie to care for Ginger but it won’t be the last! Katie did a wonderful job taking really good care of Ginger for an overnight at my house and the day before and after. She attended to Ginger’s every need and sent me updates and pictures, too! She even left my house better than before. Don’t look any further—call Katie! But not when I need her! 😉”
“Britt was a wonderful pet sitter! She took care of our dog, cat, and bearded dragon over a holiday weekend on short notice. She was responsive and communicated easily while we were away. We look forward to working with her again soon!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, often a family friend and now often my own friends! I am open to all animals, any age, any kind. I know how stressed animals can get when their people are away, and I believe in providing a temporary replacement that is as near to their normal as possible. I'm not currently working, so I am mostly free throughout each week! I am able to come and go at any time in the day as well! Safety and trust are my top priority with every pet I care for. For house sitting, I stay in your home to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible like sticking closely to their usual feeding, medication, and bathroom schedule, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure the home stays safe and undisturbed while you’re away. Pets tend to feel calmer staying in their own space, and I’m there to give them company and attention throughout. For drop-in visits, I do a quick walkthrough on arrival to make sure everything is as it should be, follow your instructions exactly for feeding, litter box or bathroom needs, and always double check doors and gates are secure before I leave. For walks, dogs stay leashed at all times unless you’ve told me otherwise and I’ve confirmed the area is safe, and I stay alert to traffic, other animals, and weather conditions. For cats, I’m mindful of their comfort level and never force interaction or handling they’re not used to. Across all services, I send photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I keep emergency contacts (you and your vet) on hand just in case!
“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”
“Amanda did an amazing job looking after my greyhound! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I was very anxious booking with someone on Rover for the first time but Amanda has put my mind at ease and taken such good care of my girl Freya. Definitely will be rebooking with her again and again!”
About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.
“Heather was wonderful, my Husky pup seemed to feel very at ease with her and she understood him and his quirks very well. I also really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 510 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 .
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.
