“Ryan is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My boy Sam is still a bit of a skeptical, anxious puppy, and Ryan quickly put him at ease. I am so grateful - I feel like I have a dog whisperer coming to take care of my boy every day! Thank you, Ryan!! I’m so beyond happy that Sam is capable of making a friend and you are patient and loving enough with him to ensure it happened! I so appreciate you! 🥹”
“Elle was amazing! She was available last minute to drop in on our senior pets. They had so much love and so many snuggles. We felt secure that they were well cared for. Our pets are very different personalities and Elle endeared herself to all of them. Thank you!”
“Sharon was AMAZING with Faith! They hit it off right off the bat. Sharon was very kind and patient with Faith which helped alot since Faith doesn’t like having strangers in the house. She took the time everyday at the end of the walk to just sit and love on Faith. Faith behaved better than she ever has for someone that isn’t me or my children. Sharon even took the time to help with an ant issue I was not aware of! Faith and I very much enjoyed having Sharon care of Faith! We will definitely use Sharon again in the future. Faith has made a fur-ever friend! 🐶🐾🦴”
“Nathaniel did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. We had a fairly demanding schedule with four visits a day. He was reliable, responsive, and consistently made sure she was fed, received her medications and was well taken care of. We would recommend him to others looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Darla was amazing! She was very communicative and even pooper scooped for us! She was on time every time and our dogs absolutely loved her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jessica has been an amazing dog sitter. Always on time, my pets adore her, and she’s been flexible with my ongoing dog sitting needs and things that come up in my schedule. Sweet and reliable!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life, growing up with a cocker spaniel and a flame point Himalayan cat when I was very young, and three small mixed breed dogs when I was a little bit older. As soon as I moved out from my parents I adopted my dog Lola from Austin Pets Alive! and invested my time in training her (as well as I could) and loving on her. Me and my husband now still have Lola, a large half Great Dane, though she’s a bit older and now a senior, a young adult (practically puppy) pitty mix, and a Russian blue mix cat. My parents travel a lot, and with such need someone to watch, or check in on their pets, which I gladly help with. The rest of my extended also know that they can always count on me to help with their pets whenever needed! I absolutely adore pets, and would be thrilled to help with other’s when needed. I am currently a full time college student doing online classes. This means that I have a good amount of free time to help check on people's pets! It also means that I am very motivated to make extra money while in school to help supplement my family's income. Furthermore, because I do all of my courses online from home, it is always nice to have a reason to leave the house for a little bit! I am more than happy to travel to your home to care for your pets however needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and am not put off by pets who may need a little extra care, or caution, as I strongly believe that all pets deserve to be loved and more than adequately cared for, and I do not believe that one breed is better than another. As well as this, I am very committed to respecting people's privacy and boundaries when it comes to their homes and belongings, and would never want to do anything to intrude on that sacred space. This means as well that I am dedicated to following the desires of people in regards to their pets and homes, and I recognize the amount of trust that allowing someone into your space and with your babies is required, and would never want to do anything to break that trust.
“Thanks for taking care of Pluto in our absence. Loved the way you spend time with him and made sure his food bowl is clean each time you feed him. Looking forward to meet you next time. Thanks again ?”
About: I've grown up with all types of dogs, big great Pyrenees & miniature schnauzers, amongst cats, turtles, and more. Currently I care for my 2 dogs Jax & Clover. They both have a few special needs. Jax has suffered from a stroke resulting in partial blindness & coordination issues, but we manage his conditions with the patience and care he needs for a good quality of life. Clover was born with a cleft-palette & had issues eating as a puppy, but has since managed to gain pure muscle & enjoy ,equally, the couch and the dog trails. Growing up around animals is a great privilege & I always found solace in the presence of my dogs. It makes my day knowing I get to spend just a little bit of my day taking care of your pups and making their days zoom by while they wait for you to come home. Currently I work part-time & mostly weekends in the mornings. I am a college student, so my summer is pretty flexible. I am willing to work with your schedule and needs accordingly. We live in an apartment in the city so both of my dogs are crate & house trained. When stopping by I am happy to accommodate all types of energy levels & meet your pets where they are at, it is their space afterall.
“Lesley took great care of my kitties! They usually hide from people they don't know well and I was half expecting to get just dark, grainy pictures of them glaring out from under the bed while I was away. However, Lesley quickly made friends with them and coaxed them into eating, playing and socializing. I arrived home to very happy and relaxed cats. I would definitely book Lesley again in the future.”
“Craig has truly been a blessing! I prayed for a long time to find someone Bella would love and trust, and my prayers were answered. Bella absolutely adores him! He plays with her, gives her so much love and attention, and treats her like his own. Knowing Bella is happy and well cared for gives me such peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful we found Craig and highly recommend him!”
“Lindzi is such a great sitter- highly recommend!! Our flights were canceled and she was already prepared to watch our cats for another day just in case. Our cats can get spooked easily and she made sure to stay until they came out of hiding so she could send us pictures and make sure they were safe. The absolute best!”

I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special needs or medication routines.

I’m also within walking distance of a long walking trail and a dog park, and I’m happy to take dogs on regular walks and outings so they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and playtime.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Georgetown
Debbie has been wonderful with our Italian Greyhound, Piper! Piper is high-energy but incredibly lovable, and she clearly adores Debbie. Debbie is always quick to respond and has been so helpful and accommodating, especially when we’ve needed a sitter on short notice. We feel very comfortable leaving Piper in her care and really appreciate how dependable and caring she is. We highly recommend Debbie and will definitely continue booking with her!
Heather is so responsible and a great sitter. She takes care of each pet, and even notified us that she had seen our missing kitty, who made an appearance during our brief absence, but did not come in. We were able to bring him back in when we returned home. We're very appreciative of Heather's care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Georgetown is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 7,108 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Georgetown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Georgetown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
