“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%.”
“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.”
“I can’t wait for my next vacation, but not only to travel, because I don’t have to worry about my pets being in good hands anymore. Nathaniel is incredibly thoughtful and thorough, and he shows his love for animals by the way he interacts. Thank you for all of your help, flexibility, animals skills, and many more. Will be booking again with you in the future!”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!
“Rachal is so patient and a calming presence for our very anxious fearful doggie. Communication and coordination with Rachal was seamless and we received several updates and photos of the doggos completely relaxed and happy.”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was so great to work with, she communicated with us daily sending updates on how our dogs were doing / eating playing as well as sending photos. I would work with Heather again next time we need a sitter.”
“I've never left my 4.5 yr old Basset with anyone other than family... so I was like a new mom on her first night out without her baby when I left Mr Potter to attend a special event with my whole family. Enter Jeré to my circle and to the rescue! She came for a Meet & Greet to meet her and for Mr Potter to get her scent to remember her later. She was just the right person! Sweet, encouraging & reassuring. I hired her for the event night... 7 hours. She sent me photos & "Pupdates" as helped me relax and feel confident so I could enjoy the event. I will use her services AGAIN for certain! Thanks, Jeré, for helping me cut those apron strings.”
“Makaelah did a great job with our dog Luna. Luna can be apprehensive to new people at first and she went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Also she updated me on how things were going which I really appreciated while we were on vacation. We will book her again for our next vacation.”
“Finding Felecia was a game-changer for our family. She's incredibly trustworthy and clearly adores animals. She went above and beyond with our babies, and gave us complete peace of mind during our entire day. The detailed reports and pictures were fantastic. Highly, highly recommend her for any pet parent! We will definitely be using her services again!”
“As always, Geoffrey is incredible and gave our pets amazing care while we were away. We never have any doubts or hesitations using his services, he’s forever our #1!”
“Mary was great with my tiny puppy. She gave me pictures, videos, and asked questions. She let me know when she went potty. She sent pictures of her snuggling and showed me videos of my dog playing. I felt good while being away, knowing my dog was taken care of. I would book with Mary again.”
“Tessa is hands down the best pet and house sitter you could ever ask for! She took care of our house, dogs, and cats for two full weeks while we were away, and she exceeded every expectation. When unexpected flight delays turned our travel day into a mess, Tessa handled everything smoothly and without skipping a beat like a total champion. Coming home after a long travel delay to a spotlessly clean house that felt brand new was such an incredible relief. She truly went above and beyond in every way imaginable. If you are looking for someone reliable, proactive, and deeply caring, I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! She took exceptional care of my pets—spoiling them with attention and keeping their routines perfectly on track. They bonded with her so quickly, and honestly, they miss her already!”
“Angelica was amazing. She took care of our home and pups as if they were her own. Will for sure book with her again. We got lots of updates and pictures of the fur babies.”
“Lindzi watched our two cats and watered my plants and she was great! She communicated with me every day and sent pictures. She even one of our cats in a walk (he’s leash trained)! Lindzi is so nice and really cared about taking good care of my cats ?”
“Courtney was hands down the best Rover we have ever had!! She sent updates and pictures throughout our trip while we were gone. Not only did she take great care of our dog and cat while we were away but she even left our place cleaner than when we left. Can’t thank you enough!!”
“Kayla was awesome!! I needed a last minute pet sitter and Kayla came to my rescue. She met a friend of mine who transferred keys and showed her into my home. I got updates on my pups snd pix. I would highly recommend Kayla!! Completely trust worthy and took great care of my fur kids.”
“Linda is so considerate, communicative, and clean! She wants to do right by you and your fur babies! She was patient and willing to work with our challenging pup. We were super grateful for her help!”
“Lauren was such a wonderful sitter! She came to our house and took excellent care of our pups for us. She is an excellent communicator! We received pictures and updates on our pets daily. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend booking with Lauren (just don't book her when I need her ?) She is the best!”

Leaving our fur kids is never easy. Finding Kellie through a friend was such a blessing. From communicating and a meet & greet prior to booking, we were very impressed from the start. We've never had anyone stay overnight in our home so the nerves were high but upon meeting Kellie, she eased the nerves and kept to her word, our pets are her family when in her care. She sent daily updates, pictures and responded to us quickly. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets kindly & lovingly we highly recommend Kellie.
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.
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!
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.

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!

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.
