“Sierra was absolutely fantastic! Our pups were so well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. She went above and beyond by taking care of our plants and keeping the dogs happy and active with playtime throughout the day. Her communication was excellent, and she consistently kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and dog sitter! We highly recommend Sierra to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, attentive, and trustworthy to look after their fur babies and home. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again!”
“What a great and kind pet sitter. She communicated with us very well. Went out of her way for us and took care of our home while we were away. Most importantly it Did loved her. Highly recommend! We will be rebooking with her”
About: I grew up with 6 dogs in my house- the smallest was a chihuahua and the largest was a Great Pyrenees. I’m comfortable with all sizes and ages! Right now my family has 5 elderly dogs and 2 rambunctious puppies (all of which I’ve dog sat for in the past). I was the victim of a violent crime in Dallas this past December so I’ve moved back down to a familiar area. I’m a full-time online student so I’m available anytime you need pet care! I appreciate the work very much and it will help pay for my education. I will follow the schedule your pet is accustomed to! I’ve worked with pets with anxiety in the past and I understand how helpful consistency can be. I also send pictures to owners so they can see their pet is safe and cared for!
“Alessandra took care of my senior pup while I was away for a week. She was able to successfully give him his daily arthritis medication, and took great care of Tiger! When I came back home, the place was up-kept, and my dog was in a good mood which means he felt comfortable with her!”
“Always such a joy to have Jason watch my Shihtzu Leonard. He is always so kind and patient with him. Jason will continue to be our go-to dog sitter when needed in the Austin area. Thank you for loving Leonard, Jason!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with medications and other special needs your pet may have. I love loving on dogs and love to enrich their time with bubbles or other activities like sniff and seek. The dogs will hang out with me, go on walks twice daily walks, play bubbles or play fetch, or swim if your dog is interested! We also love naps in our house and overall have a great time. I have a dog park and walking trail at my apartment. I have a dog wash and would be happy to bathe your dog before their return. I have a 4 year old golden retriever who is well-socialized and loves to make new friends. I also make homemade dog treats :)
“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.”
“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.”
“From the moment we met Rebekah, we knew she was the perfect fit. She is kind, personable, incredibly trustworthy, and pays attention to every detail. She took exceptional care of our two fur babies , our koi pond, our birds, garden and our home, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Every day she sent thoughtful updates and photos, which meant so much to us. She also noticed and handled little things around the house without ever being asked, keeping us informed and resolving issues whenever she could. When we returned home, everything was spotless, well cared for, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter. Rebecca is truly outstanding, and we recommend her without hesitation. We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I provide regular updates, photos, and reliable communication for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting on weekdays and weekends. I make pet care a priority in my routine so your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and always supervise pets carefully. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: From Chinchillas to Chow chows, I have cared for them all both professionally and personally for over the last decade. Whether I need to administer medication or comfort during a thunderstorm storm, I’m happy to help your furry family member while you’re away. I work part-time right now and have a lot of extra time in between semesters at school. If your pet is comfortable with other dogs, I can also provide boarding at my home. I have a very sweet female dog at home who really enjoys company, dog or cat. If you would like your pet to stay at my home I have a shady and securely fenced yard as well. Your pet will also have their own space as my laundry room has been converted into a kennel area if they prefer their own space. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I have reliable transportation to make multiple visits daily, or if you prefer your pet to have constant company in home, extended stays are an option at your convenience and comfort level.
“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!”
“Errin is such an amazing pet sitter. We feel extremely comfortable where we’re out of town knowing our pups will be well taken care of and looked after. Errin always goes the extra mile and creates an amazing atmosphere so our dogs are as comfortable as can be.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! We had an emergency trip we had to make and were unable to guide Katie through our pup’s routine before leaving. Katie went above and beyond in figuring things out with very little guidance and making sure our pup was taken care of and loved. As a veteran and first responder, I can wholeheartedly recommend her for her reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism.”
“Madchen is the best and only sitter we trust with our pups! She has such a big heart and loves to make everyone happy. We will always use her for our pet sitting needs”
“Briana did an amazing job taking care of Pickles! She was so active with her and sent us multiple updates while we were away. Not only did we come back to a happy dog but a clean home! Thank you again Briana for an amazing job with Pickles. We definitely recommend her to anyone and will book again :)”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Georgetown is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $73 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,308 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
