“Molly was fantastic. I received so many updates and Tete loved being with her. He’s usually anxious and takes a bit to like someone but he went straight to her when she showed up. Will absolutely be having Molly watch Tete for our trips.”
“Sam was amazing with our Gator. This was our first time using a in house sitter for him. Sam treated him like her own and made the whole experience seamless. We will be reaching out to her for future needs. Communication was above wonderful.”
“Heather is fantastic. She's very communicative, sending pictures of our little fur balls daily to let us know they are happy and very spoiled. We've hired her before and we'll happily hire her again.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and future veterinarian, I bring 3.5 years of hands-on veterinary medicine experience as a Veterinary Assistant and a genuine passion for caring for dogs. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a Pre-Veterinary focus as I work toward my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Growing up on a family dairy farm, I was surrounded by animals from an early age and helped care for many farm dogs. This experience taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of understanding each animal’s individual personality, needs, and routine. During my veterinary career, I’ve cared for and hospitalized numerous dogs, providing attentive monitoring, feeding, cleaning, exercise, enrichment, and comfort. I’m experienced with safely handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs, as well as administering oral medications when necessary. Working in a veterinary setting has also helped me become attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. As a flexible and reliable college student, I’m happy to work around your schedule and follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch, I’ll provide patient, compassionate, and individualized care. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll care for your pup like they’re part of my own family! 🐶❤️ My Schedule 🐾 As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and night drop-in visits, depending on your pet’s needs and my class schedule. If you feel more comfortable having someone stay with your pet, I’m also happy to spend the night with your dog or cat so they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. Most weekends work well for me for pet sitting, and I’m happy to discuss your specific dates and your pet’s schedule. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs while making sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship! 🐶🐱❤️ Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With 3.5 years of veterinary experience as a Veterinary Assistant, I’m comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. My veterinary background has taught me to be attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall health. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and able to maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure and tidy, and provide plenty of patience, attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed and handling pets who may be nervous, shy, or require extra patience. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved member of your family, and I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱❤️
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I’ve always had cats and other critters. My animals tend to live very long, loving lives. I have summers off, so I have quite a bit of availability part of the year. I’m an early riser, so can do mornings easily. Most evenings I’m available for care, walks or feedings. We live on a highway, so our animals have always been inside. The cats usually have free rein of the house and our enclosed deck is sometimes a place they like to be.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was young. The newest member of our family, Reeses, makes me smile every day and we're learning from each other so much, she just warms my heart. When I was a senior in H.S. I worked with a professional trainer, training German Shepherds. It was during this time I learned that I've got a great commanding voice that dogs want to listen to. In college I was the president of the animal rights club, and worked with animal shelters in the area. Next year I plan on taking some official training classes and starting my own dog training / sitting business. Until then I'd love to make some new furry friends and their people too. I work from home, so I'm able to take frequent breaks and spend time with our four legged friends. I start the morning off with a walk, spend lunch working on some training or going for a ride, and I'm home and ready to play right at five as soon as I turn my computer off. I'm free to take potty breaks throughout the day as needed as well. Dogs love a good routine, and I'm here to help make that happen. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away so you can come home to a stress free pup, and for you to feel comfortable knowing your loved one is being looked after by someone that cares and is there with them.
“Taylor did a great job with our dog Baxter! She was super accommodating to his needs, and kept us updated so we didn’t worry about anything while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and have her watch him again in the future!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
“Hannah did an AMAZING job with my three dogs!! She went WAY above and beyond while watching my pets. If you are looking for a caring and compassionate pet sitter, look no further than Hannah, she is the BEST!!”
About: I am a dog owner myself. I have always loved animals and specifically dogs! I also received my certificate in Animal Assisted Therapy in college (May ‘24) so have lots of experience working with dogs! I work part time in home health care for older adults. My hours fluctuate each day. My profile availability is not set in stone so please reach out for details and more info! I am interested in dog sitting and dog walking. I love spending time with dogs and going on walks! I am an active person so love getting the opportunity to care for a dog while also getting exercise!
“Perry was great with my German Shepherd Juneau! She came to my home and spent the night with her while I had an outpatient procedure. Juneau takes a bit to warm up to new people and I usually have her muzzled when she meets someone new . Perry stayed calm and collected with her and was able to feed her treats of chicken ( her absolute favorite ) thru the muzzle . There was one mishap with the muzzle and the kennel , however Perry was able to calmly and safely remove the muzzle for Juneau without incident . She was also great about sending me periodic updates during her time with Juneau and always responded promptly to any of my requests for communication as well as coming a few days prior to the stay to meets us . I would definitely use Perry’s services again and would highly recommend that you giver her a try !”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
