“Another great dog/house sitting experience with Makayla! Always makes sure to keep us updated on everything, takes great care of the pups, and also the house. Even left some flowers and fresh baked cookies and cleaned before heading out. Highly recommend!”
“Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!”

About: I have been caring for animals both my personal animals and other peoples pets for a long time now. I have a dog of my own named Brutus that lives back home and he’s my whole world. Im accustomed to walking dogs, transporting dogs and making sure they are safe not only inside but out in the world too through my experiences with Brutus. I also participated in the raising and care of the family dogs growing up. I have personal experience with puppy care, wound care, giving medication and just loving and treating pets like they are a part of the family both with Brutus and the family dogs. I will be able to care for them both morning and evening as well as on lunch break to provide proper toileting to your animals as well as making sure they are properly fed and watered. I will be able to provide them with play time and snuggle time when I am off work and during the day on lunch break. I get an hour and half lunch break every week day. I will have to care for the pets in your home. I will not be able to care for them in my place of living.
About: Hello! I’m Jennifer. I live in Hinesville, and had a 6 almost 7 year old dog named Zeus, and a four year old child. I have cared for dogs for my entire life, and my dog absolutely loved friendly animals of all sorts. He was a very excited boy, and very loving and sweet to other animals. We unfortunately had to make the impossible decision to put him to sleep on 10/08/2025 due to very progressive cancer, and wanting to end his suffering after many months of treatment. He loved having dogs over to play and love, and I know he’d want me to continue offering a safe place for them to stay. Bringing your dogs into my home I can promise you they will be so loved and cared for. I also have two kitties, Penelope who is a 1 year old siamese, and Pancake who is a 4 month old calico, both rescued from the streets as kittens. My four year old loves animals as well :) Due to being a stay at home mom, I pride myself on being as flexible as humanly possible with my clients, and their pets. I do ask for my time however to be respected. I do ask that drop offs do not happen after 7pm, and before 7am, as I my daughter will be getting ready for bed and the animals will need to get acclimated, and we do not need the extra barking while they get their excited barks out during bed time. You may message or call me at anytime however while I have your pets in my care! I’m very quick with replies, at max I will reply within the hour unless it is overnight, then first thing in the morning. I provide regular updates throughout the stay, at minimum every morning, afternoon, and late evening before heading to bed, so most of my clients have never even had to ask for one. I am willing to also provide a phone number as well for you Facetime if you’d like to see your animals in real time. Thanks for considering me to be the one to care for your animals. 😌 I have a strong background in animal medication administration as well, and can ensure your animals take their oral medications as well as injections as needed, along with eye drops, both in cats and dogs due to my dogs cancer diagnosis and daily medication use before his passing. I can provide complimentary nail clippings on your pets as well if you ask me upon booking or message me while they’re in my care. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to care for your animals 24/7 in my home, with potty breaks whenever necessary, at minimum every 3 hours during the day, and 7-8 hours at night. I have a fenced yard and I do have a crate to use, it is currently put away as my dog does not use it. But I can bring out if necessary for your animals if you prefer them to be crated during certain times such as night time.
“Rachel was an amazing pet sitter. She is reliable and trustworthy and sent regular text updates, photos and videos of my dog playing while I was away. These updates gave me peace of mind and showed my sweet dog being well cared for in my home. I left detailed feeding and medication instructions for my 13 year old girl and Rachel followed everything precisely. She went above and beyond, not just caring for my dog, but cleaned the house and washed all the linens. I came home to a happy dog and a very clean home! I will definitely book again with Rachel and highly recommend her to anyone.”

I have experience fostering all kinds of pets especially cats. My career as a pet groomer is centered around dogs and their behaviors, so I have ample experience with all different breeds and behaviors. I work full time as a pet groomer so I’m constantly around pets! I currently have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix and a 1 year old tabby cat and absolutely adore having them around. I’m off all day Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and would be available all day! I would be able to help out after 6:30 the rest of the weekdays! I make sure your pet is in their own comfortable environment and follow their regular routine! I have both of my pets on a schedule for eating, exercise, play time and sleeping. All pets need stimulation and companionship, I prefer to play with your pet for a while and keep them company for as long as you need. I’m not just there to feed the pet, but also provide your pet with comfort and care while making sure they’re getting enough mental stimulation!
“Devin is amazing. It was my 1st time leaving my dogs, and she assured me their care and they sure were. I was worried but she made me feel better by her frequent responses and pictures and video of my dogs. She indeed made my travelling better by the way she took care of my babies.”

“Tim is awesome! I’ve used many sitters through Rover and Tim is the best! This is the 2nd time he has watched my 4 dogs and chickens at my house. He feeds them and spends a great deal of time with them. He also goes above and beyond by sweeping my floors and washing the bedding in my guest bedroom he slept in. It’s nice going on vacation and not having to worry. It’s also great coming home from vacation to happy dogs and a clean house.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Riceboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Riceboro. 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 Riceboro 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 Riceboro 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 Riceboro 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.
