“Fantastic!!! We never worry when we’re away because Debbie takes such great care of our sweet Janey. We receive lots of photos and updates and her side is never left. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Danae did a wonderful job with our pets. She kept us well informed and sent lots of pictures of them playing outside. The house was clean when we returned and our puppies were very happy. I would definitely rebook with Danae.”
“Sierra was an absolute angel! I’m a bit of a helicopter mom when leaving out of town due to our dog having epilepsy but she was nothing short of amazing! She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. Will be booking for future trips!”
“Anne communicated often and clearly with us while we were away which gave us peace of mind. She also was patient with Gordon and gained his confidence. We plan on using Anne 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.”
“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!!”
“We feel so very lucky to have found Jackie, she was WONDERFUL. Very timely with her responses, let us know when she arrived at the house, when she was leaving the house. She sent us updates on Duke with pictures. (which we loved) WE COULD not have found a better sitter for our dog Duke. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Katelyn and her daughter provided great care to our 7 month old Cocker Spaniel. She sent updates and pics throughout the night. Our pup seemed very happy and safe with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“I will definitely be getting Sariena to look after my fur babies again. She fed them, cared for them, and loved them like her own. She had even taken my dog for a hike and spoiled her. ?I could not have asked for someone better to watch after my animals and my home! Incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she gave me going above and beyond!”
“Grace was awesome. She was great with our dogs, communicated often, took great pics. Really appreciated her caring for our dogs and would definitely have her care for them again!”
About: I have worked with all kinds of pets over the years! I can administer medicine. I’m able to work with more aggressive breeds. I can even take your pup to our amazing dog park and ensure they have a great time. I work part time from home now, so I have a very open schedule! Mornings and overnights are definitely preferred from me, but I can always be flexible! I allow doggies on our furniture. I have space for crates if your dog likes to sleep in a crate at night. There’s no other dogs in my home, so they will receive full attention from me.
“Suzy was truly so amazing with our pets. We haven’t seen our pets look this happy before while we’re gone than with anyone else! She was responsive, sent great updates, and our pets were thrilled.”
“Oh my goodness!! There are no words to describe how pleased we are with Alexandra. She is by far the best care taker for our dogs and our home. We are so over the top dog owners and she totally respects the love we have for our pets. She followed all our directions to a T. We tell how happy our dogs were by the photos she sent. Olive was rolling around in the grass so happy. And, Cassie was bossing her around as usual. We highly recommend Alex for exceptional care and the love most of all. Its not just a job for her she truly loves animals 💕. Worth every penny!!”
“Destiny was great. My cat is a total scaredy cat, but Destiny was very sweet and patient with him. He was starting to come out of his shell by the time the booking was over (only 2 nights). Would book again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Georgetown is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
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!!
Robert was amazing!! What a wonderful blessing he was for our Matilda, who is 14 and needs meds and lots of love, as well as taking care of our home while we were gone for over 2 weeks. Such a load off of our shoulders to have him here!! We will definitely be calling him in the future!
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!
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!
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.
Denae was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of both of my dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and paid attention to their needs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the whole time. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend Denae to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Georgetown on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,353 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
