“Maegan did a great job. She stayed with our dogs for 10 days and we could not have asked for more. Our dogs were well cared for and our house looked better than we left it. We are very pleased with the service she provided.”
“Brandi communicated well and sent lots of pictures of our dog while we were away. She left everything nice and neat when she left. Would recommend Brandi to trust with your pet(s).”
“Grace was amazing! She was able to help me out in a pinch when my other sitter wouldn’t respond! She did great working with my older dog and was able to help with administrating his medication. She kept me informed and reached out for any questions and sent me pictures while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.”
“Faith did a great job taking care of our energetic dachshund puppy while we were gone for several days and even cheerfully stayed an extra overnight when our flight was cancelled.”
“Lillie was wonderful with our dog Fiona. She was patient and kind and kept in touch with us the whole time. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I have never used a home pet sitter so I was a little worried to travel over 1000 miles away and leave my pet. Jacqui’s daily reports and photos put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Typically when I go away and come home, my dog is ecstatic to see me and can barley contain herself. She was happy to see me but not as overjoyed as I thought she would be. This to me proves that she received plenty of loving, along with my other pets. I would definitely use Jacqui again. Thank you for a job well done!”
“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”
“Cindy did a fabulous job with Pearl! Pearl willingly sat on her lap and snuggled with her - which if you know Pearl - you know that she only really does that with my husband and I. It was a great feeling to be able to go on vacation and not have a single worry about Pearl. Cindy sent regular pictures which we appreciated. We would hire Cindy again in a heartbeat! Thank you soooooooooo much Cindy for the excellent care of Pearl!”
“Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”
“Highly recommend Sarah! She watched both of our dogs at our house over the weekend, and we were very happy with the whole experience. One dog needs meds, and the other is a puppy. I never worried about them in her care.”
“Rebecca is amazing and so thorough asking questions to know exactly what your fur baby needs. I felt completely at ease while I was gone for the week, knowing she was so well cared for. My sweet girl got all the love, attention, play time and care that she needed. Rebecca also kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and texts to let me know just how much fun they were having and how well she was doing. Hands-down best experience and I absolutely will be using her again! Thank you, Rebecca for the awesome experience! Lula misses you already!!”
“Jillian was great! She was very responsive and flexible. My dogs had so much fun and were sleepy zombies the next day. She does her homework on your dogs beforehand and is aware of their needs! I sincerely recommend your dogs stay with her!”
“We are SO grateful that Soly was available to stay at our house for three weeks while we were away! Everything went so smoothly starting with the meet & greet. Soly arrived at our house ready with questions and took thorough notes on everything we went over. He did such an amazing job caring for our dog, Phoebe as well looking after our turtle that is housed in a 75 gallon tank. We felt very at ease with receiving regular updates on how things were going and appreciated how attentive Soly was with our pets. He went above and beyond to make sure all our plants were watered, mail was collected, and parts of the house were vacuumed and cleaned. Soly even made a special trip to the store to grab more lettuce for our turtle! After a long day of traveling, we came back to a clean house and happy pets. And a new toy and treat for Phoebe sitting on our table :) ‘Most Thoughtful Pet Sitter’ award goes to Soly. We will definitely be using him as our go-to sitter!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
Autumn was wonderful with Murphy! She always checked in and provided pictures. When I first met her, she was so kind and soft spoken so I knew Murphy would be in good hands. My neighbor came over and met her and Murphy played with her dog, Cooper. My neighbor said "You are in great hands with Autumn - she is so sweet". So, we both loved her!
Sophia did a good job looking after my cavalier in my home over the weekend. She actively exercised him, took him for walks and gave him the attention he craves. She was punctual and communicative. It was a good experience all around. Would be happy to work with her again.
We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.
This was the 2nd time Hailey watched Kyla Mae. When she arrived at our home Kyla was so excited to see her! She started doing zoomies back and forth because she was so happy! It’s such a relief, and a weight lifted, to have found Hailey. Her communication is prompt, she arrives on time, and Kyla Mae obviously loves her. I highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for an amazing person to help out with their fur baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Georgetown is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $60 per night. 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.

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 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
