About: My first dog was a senior rescue terrified of humans and dogs, and my current dog is a hyper mega-loving Coonhound! You can say I've had very different experiences lol! I've had experience administering medication for my own dogs as well as others. I was able to crate train my then 9 year old dog! My 2 year old dog is responding well to training, and has never met a soul she didn't love. I'm a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible! I work from home mostly, but I also rent a studio in Savannah- so sometimes I'll pop in for a shoot! My projects usually vary from 1-3 gigs a month. Happy to give lots of cuddles and attention! My own dog whines when she's not given love 😂 I can also crate when needed or we can work together with my laptop! I love walks and we can play fetch in the backyard if needed! Also happy to do any basic chores needed like emptying your dishwasher or vacuuming!
“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’ve had several dogs my whole life, and I can definitely say that they are a man’s bestfriend. Their energy, happiness, intelligence, loyalty, and beauty are what really makes them. I Love interacting with different dogs and their unique personalities. I am friendly, caring, patient, energetic, and I know that pets can be big babies at times, so I treat them just as that. I currently don’t have a dog, as she just recently passed away due to old age. She was honestly like a sister to me because I was the only girl amongst my brothers and everytime they made me sad she was always there right by my side to cheer me up. Animals in general are a blessing to humanity and everyone deserves to be able to live their life to the fullest and have a furry best friend, even with a little help from a dog sitter from time to time. I'm currently available the most during nights and weekends. I definitely have time to stop in and do checks all throughout the day every day. In my client's home I always make sure that the dogs are well behaved, but I also let them treat their home as their home.
“Bayla watched my dog over the weekend and she took such great care of her. She was responsive and she kept me updated throughout my travels. Thank you so much Bayla you are wonderful!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. From energetic puppies to sleepy senior dogs, I have experience handling dogs at every stage of life. I’m patient, attentive, and well adapted to managing everything from playtime and walks to administering medication or cleaning up little accidents. I genuinely love animals and all unique personalities and needs for all types of dogs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. Available for full-time and part-time care all days of the week. Please reach out for any needed details! I will be more than happy to assist you in any way. I will accommodate all schedules, personalities, and special needs to ensure a trustworthy, safe environment. From administering medications, to walking only in certain areas, to feeding certain foods, I will keep to that so your little one’s feels comfortable.
“Makayla has been nothing but amazing and couldn’t ask for a better sitter for a girls. She has spent so much time with them and when she hasn’t been able to be at the house with them, her amazing sister would go over and spend time with our girls. I never had to worry about whether my dogs were being looked after and well loved just like I would. Even our girl who is skiddish of all strangers, she made sure to take the time with her and make sure she was comfortable. And to top it all off, she cleaned up before leaving. I would recommend Makayla and her sister Shelby again and again and will definitely be asking for their pet sitting expertise in the future!”
“Lorelei showed up on time and took great care of Blu even with issues getting into my house (my fault/mistake). We figured it out together and I appreciate her sticking through the issue. She provided pictures and monitored her bowel movements to make sure she went.!”
“We had such a great experience with Dawn K! Taking care of three labradoodles is no small task, but she handled everything so smoothly and professionally. Our dogs were clearly happy, well-exercised, and well cared for when we got back. What really stood out was how clean everything was—the yard was spotless, and the house was just as tidy as we left it (if not better!). It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such good hands. We would absolutely book again (I already have done so) and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter!”
“Lauren was awesome! Would definitely recommend. Our Molly really seemed to enjoy hanging out with Lauren and even made a new friend with Lauren's dog. She was professional and stayed in touch providing pictures and video.”
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.
“Tonya was so great with our fur babies!! She took great care of them and kept them on their normal routine. She communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know how everyone was doing and sent plenty of pictures. We look forward to using her in the future when we travel!!”
“Jasmin was great! She is very responsible and took great care of my dogs. She also sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. I would definitely recommend her and I plan to use her again!”
About: For over 40 years I have loved and cared for my dogs and the dogs of family and friends. I see them as a part of the family. I would provide care, attention, play, treats (if allowed), and medication (if needed). My home has a fenced yard, pet beds, and toys. We live near a city park that circles a lake and near a dog park. I am happy to accommodate any special needs, diets, and/or instructions. I know the stress of finding the right pet sitter. Since I know how it is to leave my dogs home, I am happy to provide frequent updates while you are away. Your pets will be happy when you return, but they will also thank you for leaving them in my care.
“Brooke was great to work with. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated the whole time. My pups are spoiled so I appreciate all the extra attention she gave them. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Chaya did an absolutely amazing job with Shadow! We were nervous leaving him for the first time but Chaya put us at ease with updates and pictures! She not only did an amazing job caring for Shadow but did amazing keeping our house clean as well. We will definitely book Chaya again!”
“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families dogs for a while now and want to expand to build new connections!

FAQs for House Sitting - Riceboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 371 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Riceboro. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
