“Debbie was absolutely AMAZING with my pup, Adam! He is an extremely picky eater, and I have spent months trying different things just to get him to consistently eat. Debbie took the time, patience, and care to figure him out — and somehow she solved the problem! I honestly could not believe it. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Not only did she take incredible care of Adam, but she also went above and beyond in ways she absolutely did not have to. I came home to a clean house, and she even washed my sheets and put them back on the bed. That level of thoughtfulness and care is rare. You can truly tell Debbie treats both pets and homes with respect, kindness, and genuine love. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Thank you again, Debbie!”
“Sierra did a wonderful job house/dog sitting for our family. We have three dogs, one being senior and another being a new member of the pack, and I was nervous to leave them all boarded together with a stranger, but allowing them to stay home worked the best for us. Sierra was very communicative and sent updates and messages regularly. From the start I knew her clear and quick communication style was going to make it a good fit. I would totally book with Sierra again 100%.”
“Katelyn provided exceptional service, and went above and beyond just house sitting my pup. She provided picture updates everyday, cleaned up after my dude when he got sick, and ensured he got his daily exercise by taking him to the park every morning. Will definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
“Kimmie took care of our dogs and our home. We came back to a clean house and happy dogs. She even gracefully dealt with a water sensor going off that we had never even heard in the time we have owned the house! I would recommend her if you need someone reliable to take care of your pets while you're away.”
“Kailiany was awesome. Regular updates, our 3 fur kids were happy and healthy when we returned, and she even put the trash out by the road for us. HIGHLY recommend and will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Kylie and Rover!”
“Irving was fabulous. We are RV'ing here in Texas for our granddaughters HS graduation and two weeks ago, lost our oldest dog, Maverick. Oliver, our five month old puppy hasn't been alone since his passing and we were concerned leaving him alone during the graduation ceremony. Irving was a last minute booking and we are so grateful he accepted our request. I couldnt be more pleased. Thank you Irving.”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for them became second nature. My favorites have always been dogs and cats. We always seemed to have a new litter of kittens around, and I naturally became the one who spent the most time with them. Whether it was feeding them, playing with them, or helping them grow into confident, loving cats, I loved every minute of it. That lifelong experience has taught me that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide patient, dependable care and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior who needs a little extra attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I do work full time; however, I have set days off. The hours I work are spread throughout the day, but with enough notice, I can plan accordingly. I am flexible. When your pet is in my care, I treat them like one of my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and active time. Whether that's going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, or simply spending quality time together. I'm attentive to all of their daily needs, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines you have in place. I know pets feel most comfortable with consistency, so I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe and secure, especially in the place they know best. Their home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving the same care, affection, and respect that I would give my own.
“Elle was great with our pups :) kept us updated the whole week along with cute pictures for us to check on our babies when we wanted! Greater communicator with how they are doing and what she’s doing with them!”
“Did such an amazing job taking care of our golden boy and our kitty! She always sends pictures and updates which we are so grateful for! She leaves our home clean and takes care of laundry/linens from her stay. Could not recommend her enough!!”
“Once again, we could not be more pleased with Heather and Ryan! We always know our dogs are in the best of hands when we have to go out of town and they went to the extra mile as our Chloe is getting old and requires just a little bit more attention and cleaning up after. Thank you for being there for us and our pups. You are the best!”
“Kelsie was great with our big pup! She gave regular updates including photos throughout the weekend. She was really easy to communicate with leading up to and throughout the time she stayed at our home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Geoffrey is the best pet sitter! We’re repeat clients and have used his services multiple times with our dogs. He’s reliable, trustworthy and caring for our pups. We always feel comfortable knowing our dogs are in good care with him.”
“Danielle is a wonderful caregiver! She was very detailed oriented & took loving care of our senior dog. She provided frequent updates and pictures. We appreciate her great care and highly recommend her.”
“Grace gave us peace of mind as she cared for our giant dogs. We have never had anyone outside of family watch our dogs but needed to try rover as our family was unavailable when we needed a sitter. We searched and searched, read countless reviews and decided we wanted to meet Grace. Our dogs took to her immediately and she was so good with them. While we were gone she gave us frequent updates. When we got home our dogs were well taken care of, our house was in perfect condition and she even left a vase of wild flowers. We will continue to use Grace to watch our Great Danes. Highly highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve grown up around a variety of animal and started taking care of cats, dogs, surgar gliders, and chinchillas since 15yrs old. With over 23 years of experience, I have yet to met a pet that I was not fond of or one that didn’t like me. I recognize separation is stressful for both owners and pets and strive to make it easier on both. As I am self-employed, my schedule is flexible. I am ready to accommodate any request for your pets needs. I am available for extended visits and over night stays. Meet and greet is required to ensure a good fit and no stress environment for the animal. I provide complete supervision during any outside time whether it’s on a walk or in the backyard. I make sure all toys are safe to play with and do not pose chocking hazard. I have extensive experience with large and small breeds as well as senior dogs. I also have experience administering medication.
“Jere was so attentive and communicative! I loved how well she understood the dogs and felt my pups were well cared for and safe so I could focus and enjoy myself on our vacation!!!”
“Megan was great with our dog while we were away for the weekend. She gave us daily check-ins and pics, and left our house in better condition than how we left it. Would definitely recommend :)”
“Hannah gave loving attention to my dogs and they settled in easily. She was very helpful, flexible, and reliable when I had to go out of town in a hurry and completely set my mind at ease. I highly recommend.”
“Lauren was nothing but exceptional!!! She went above and beyond at every step. She did a meet and greet before our trip and our concerns about leaving our dogs while we went on vacation were completely gone. Our old dog fell in love with Lauren in 10 minutes (never happens). She sent us pictures and stories about what our dogs are up to every single day. She got to know our dogs very well. I think our dogs were a bit disappointed when we got home because they liked Lauren so much! Seriously, this our first time letting a stranger in our home to take care of our dogs, and we really really seriously lucked out with Lauren. She is our new dedicated dog sitter! Thank you so so much, Lauren!”

Four words describe Debbie. She is super fantastic! She sent us pictures of our dog daily along with progress reports. Our dog loved her and she also did a fantastic job taking care of our home plus our plants. We hope she’s available for our next trip. Thank you Debbie for all you did.
Irving was very patient letting Ziggy get to know him. She's a lovely dog but timid and she shooses you before you choose her. :-) Irving kept me updated on how she was doing, the fund she was having and how she settled and was eating and sleeping well. He took care of the property and left it in really good clean shape. Would recommend him for sure.
Robert did a great job dogsitting our dear Stella! She is 14.5yrs and requires someone who adheres to her specific routine for security and comfort. Robert took extra care before our trip at the meet & greet and key pick up to ensure everything would be handled well. During our trip he was in consistent communication, reassuring us that Stella was doing well including sweet pictures of our happy girl. We returned home to a tidy house and relaxed pup. We are very pleased with Robert’s care and will be booking with him in the future!
Alexia was very responsive from my first inquiry about housesitting and caring for our furbabies. She spent quality time at the meet and greet with our animals and asked lots of questions to understand their needs and care for our home. Her daily photos were AMAZING and our whole family looked forward to seeing them each day we were on vacation. 😁 Our pets were very well cared for, plants healthy, bedding laundry done and house very clean when we returned. Very grateful!!
We had a wonderful experience with Darla! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was always timely and reliable. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos of our dogs while we were away as it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was clear our pups were getting lots of attention and love. We came home to happy dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Darla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Addison did an amazing job house sitting our 4 Yorkies! Our dogs were very happy and excited upon our return which tells us they were extremely well cared for. She updated us on their progress, sent pics and she took great care of them and our household. We have a rather shy male and and Addi got him to quickly warm up to her and allowing him to cuddle in bed to ease his separation from us! Addi was gracious enough to meet with us prior to booking thru Rover to ensure a good mutual fit and was prompt for our appointment times. We would highly recommend Addi and will be sure to use here again in the future!
Ren was reliable and took great care of my pup, as well as the house. It's no wonder the team has great reviews and so many repeat bookings. I'm grateful...she got my kiddo through a severe storm, too, and Roo is afraid of storms. I had no worries. She was responsive, yet didn't overly communicate as I've had with other sitters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Georgetown on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,401 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
