About: Hi! I’m Jason, a full-time SCAD student in Savannah. I’m available for Walks/Runs. Drop-In visits & pet sitting in your dog’s home. I dog sat 2 dogs while living and going to school in Chicago and we had so much fun. Coco & Bella 😭💕. I also have a dog of my own back home in Ohio who I miss very deeply. Her name is Lucy. She has a sensitive stomach and a strict diet so I’m familiar with dogs like that as well & know how to care for them. I’m looking forward to meeting your pet. Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’m currently a part time student & a part time employee at a sushi restaurant so I’d honestly like to dog sit whenever I’m available! My home is very minimal but cozy! I don’t have any pets of my own & I have no roommates or anyone coming in or out of the home besides me! So I can ensure the prime safety for all furry friends in my care!
About: I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats in a home setting and hospital setting. I have worked at an animal hospital and can administer medication if need be. I’m ready to love on your baby! I keep my schedule updated to take care of your baby whenever I am available! Outside of this, I am an early childcare teacher. I try to keep my schedule updated with my hours! Let me know and we can work something out! I can administer medication if needed, and I am more than willing to play with your baby indoor or outdoor! Long walks, lots of toys, and treats if okay!
About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.
“Hanna did a great job with my fur babies! They loved her immediately and it gave me great piece of mind that she was caring for them while we were out of town for my daughter’s wedding! She stayed with them for four days and three nights. I highly recommend!”
“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups. I would highly recommend booking Tammy. She is sweet and very caring. I could tell my pups were well taken care of.”
“Devin was absolutely wonderful with my two girls. It usually takes my two girls a little while to trust someone and when she came over for the meet and greet, they trusted her right away. I will absolutely use her in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up having pets my whole life, having a senior black lab with an orthopedic disability taught me a lot about patience. I became a pro at medication administration for just about any size pet having pet sit for friends in the past, and I’m always willing to deep clean a litter box! I’m currently available any hours on any day! I’m willing to work with you on any routine that will best accommodate you and your furry family members! I prefer to have very specific instructions on how I can best support you and care for your pet as you would normally care for them yourself!
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that. *Important - I am a College student who switches between Miami, Florida and Georgia* • Miami: November 21st - January 1st May 28th - September 12th • Georgia: September 13th - November 19th January 3rd - May 26th I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Meldrim is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $52 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 622 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Meldrim. 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 Meldrim 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 Meldrim 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 Meldrim 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 Meldrim. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
