Ashley is amazing! My Aussie can be picky about who he likes, and he took to her right away at our meet-and-greet. I could tell right from the start she’s wonderful with animals…I immediately felt comfortable hiring her to house sit for our two dogs and cat. During her stay, she sent a lot of great pics of all the fur babies and was always very prompt with responding. I can’t say enough great things about Ashley. I’ve already hired her for a future house sitting job!

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping my grandmothers care for their dogs and later taking an active role in caring for my own family dog. I eventually got my own cat, who I’ve independently cared for for several years. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve spent the past 4 months working as an overnight pet sitter, caring for pets of all ages and types and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’ve also worked with children through babysitting and have experience staying calm, responsible, and attentive in situations that require patience and flexibility. My love for animals has even influenced my education. I’m currently a student-athlete at the College of Coastal Georgia majoring in Marine Biology. I’m passionate about animal care and treat every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs. As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule can be fairly busy, especially before 3 p.m. However, I’m definitely open to working on weekdays as long as we can discuss the schedule ahead of time and make sure it works with my classes and practices. I have much more flexibility on weekends, with the exception of a few Saturday mornings when I have practice. I’ll always communicate my schedule and availability in advance so that pet care can be planned accordingly. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to accommodate! My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’m young and fit and can walk dogs all day and happy to do it. I have had large dogs like golden retrievers and small dogs such as my Jack Russell. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a two bedroom townhouse with a large living room and plenty of rooms for pets. My neighborhood has sidewalks great for walking. I have a pet proof car with a cover on the backseat. I am also on the wag application and have accomplished over 80 dog walks and have a perfect five star rating. I’m happy to go above and beyond for you and your pet. I work at a seasonal business and am in the off season now so I have extra time now for pets.

Lahra stayed at our house and took great care of our sweet Winnie. She left the house immaculate and Winnie a happy girl. We got daily updates which made us feel at ease and she even walked her. We highly recommend Lahra and have already book several more stays with her.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and spending time with other animals such as birds, reptiles and rodents. When I was a 10 years old my father and I partnered together to train a service dog for a family friend. I am an expert in animal behavior and training. As I got older I have been a very reliable and trust worthy person my family and friends have depended on for pet care. I can provide affordable, quality pet care for both dogs and cats. I promise my utmost attention and excellent care to each pet I sit. I am working a part time job and actively taking college courses. I am available for house sitting Sat-Tues, however I work Wed-Fri only being available in the evenings for sitting. I understand how important safety is to every pet owner. I do not board pets but I will take every precaution to ensure your home and pet are safe and secure.

About: There are a lot of dog sitters out there, but what sets me apart from other sitters is, that i have had years of experience with dogs and cats! I can’t wait to take care of all the cute, happy, and tail wagging dogs/cats that this job has to offer. Overall, I am excited to meet new people, personalities, and getting love from my new four-legged friends!! Furthermore, I will never let you or your fur babies down!! Hope to see you soon!! Im currently part-time, so I do have plenty of time to spend with your babies, while you’re away! quality time is so important, and making sure they have everything they need. I do not have a fenced yard! So leashes are required. I do have a big yard tho! If your dogs listen to off leash recall, let me know, i am up to letting them free run, if you’re comfortable.

About: My flexible schedule and love for animals is what sets me apart. I guarantee your pet will be very loved and cared for. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs that have a hard time walking. Along with experience with younger pets. (If needed: I also have reptile experience) I have a flexible college schedule but I am not allowed to have pets in my dorm. There forth I’ll have plenty of free time to pamper your pet! In order to care for the pet at the owners home; I would alternate my services depending on the pet and owners needs. Every pet is different so I’m willing to do whatever is needed.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow specific routines and instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they’re used to. I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a senior in high school who gets out of school at 11:40 a.m., so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m open to working around each pet’s routine and needs. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, as well as seven friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet and make sure they receive the attention, care, and supervision they need.

About: I bring 22 years of dedicated dog experience and 3 years of cat care, with a proven history of raising 5 dogs and 3 cats who all lived long, healthy lives. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I previously provided two years of full-time care for my sister’s cat. I’ve successfully trained dogs to sit, roll over, shake, speak, crawl, and follow consistent potty-training routines. I combine experience, reliability, and genuine love with a calm, confident presence that pets respond to instantly. Your fur babies won’t just be safe with me — they’ll thrive. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, which leaves plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m also flexible and can work around those hours as needed. During the day, I’m able to stop by for midday walks or check-ins during my lunch break, typically between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Outside of work, my schedule is fully open for drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and extended care. I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. I would care for pets in a client’s home just like I care for my own, creating a safe, clean, and loving environment. I would follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. I’d provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention while also giving pets calm, quiet time when needed. I would monitor their health, ensure they have fresh water, and give lots of affection so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal would be to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away, treating every fur baby like part of my own family.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, growing up on a small farm and never having a day without a furry friend! I absolutely love all animals, whether domestic or wild, and I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible. I have cared for a wide variety, including those with health issues. My hands-on experience with both healthy and senior pets means I can handle any situation with compassion and expertise. I’m dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible! I’ve also got hands-on experience dog sitting for clients, staying in their homes for extended periods to ensure their pets are happy and well-cared for. While I don’t have formal training, my lifelong experience has equipped me with the knowledge to handle all sorts of situations, including emergencies. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated to making sure your pets have a great time while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available Monday through Sunday to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to give them plenty of one-on-one time, keep them on their normal routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and keep their normal routines. I will provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and whatever individual care your pet needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I will also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets who need extra care and attention. I cared for my dog Maya, who was blind and diabetic, and I was responsible for administering her insulin and making sure she stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. I also cared for my soul dog Marcello, who developed anxiety in his later years and needed patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Both of my dogs were seniors who lived long, full lives (15 and 17), so I’m very comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs over the years, including a puppy, so I’m familiar with different temperaments, energy levels, and basic training needs. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I’ve had animals my entire life, and while I can’t have one of my own right now, caring for others’ pets truly brings me joy. I treat every animal like family and aim to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely with a great deal of flexibility! I have no set meetings or calls that would conflict with a pet care schedule and can plan accordingly to accomodate your pets needs. I am unable to take your pets to my home due to lease regulations but can come watch your animals in the comfort of your own home. I would defer yo you as the pet owner to guide me on your pets personality, likes and dislikes and get to know them to ensure top notch care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Jekyll Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jekyll Island. 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 Jekyll Island 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 Jekyll Island 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 Jekyll Island 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.

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.
