About: I have had pets my entire life. I am a cat mom and absolutely LOVE animals. I currently take care of my family and friend’s pets when they are in need and want to help other pet parents. I am a college student at Georgia Southern University and I currently work at an After School Program. I’m more than happy to make sure I can fit your pet into my schedule. I can walk, feed and play with your pets as well as cleaning up any messes your fur baby makes during the day if needed.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats and had a few exotic animals my self. I treat any of my animals with lots of love and affection. At the end of the day they are our fur babies and they will get anything they need. I have also trained on of my very own puppy basic commands. I’m a current stay at home mom so this will allow me to help me to care for your loving fur babies. I’m available whenever. I have a fence in yard and two puppies that will make you fur babies occupied while ur away. If I’m in your home I will make sure they get all the love and attention they need while you’re gone and make sure whatever u need for them I will also get done.
“Natalie was outstanding! She went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. Most importantly she spent a lot of time with my senior dog who just wants constant cuddles. Thanks Natalie!”
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!
“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!”
“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!”
“All I can say is wow. Ryan took SUCH good care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He sent so many fun pictures and videos and I can tell the pets were so well taken care of and so loved. I wish I had met Ryan sooner so Ziggy, Jim, and Hank could have had more time with him. Highly recommend having him hang with your cute pup or kitty! I truly could not recommend him more - 10/10, no notes!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides. I’m available to walk your dog in the afternoon/night or check on your cats to make sure they’re good to go! In my home our two cats (Garbo and Ziggy) are always being asked if they’re good boys and getting lots of pets and kisses and cuddles to make sure they’re know they’re as special as they are
About: I grew up with pets since the womb! I absolutely adore all kinds of animals <3 I worked in a dog day care for about 3 years and I can confidently say that it was the best job I’ve had to this day! Everyone always compliments me on my ability to connect with animals and I really feel like I would be a wonderful contribution to your fur family!! As of now I’m working part time so that I can hopefully get back into college soon. I have to pay my way through college so I’m trying to save as much money as I can before I go back so that I can focus on my studies! I have one dog at home (sterling). He is the absolute sweetest boy and he gets along with every single animal he’s come in contact with. (And the way I live animals, he’s seen a lot lol) he will be kept separate from any animals brought in the home unless the owner requests a play date! He is very spoiled as he is the only child but he deserves everything in the world as he is truly the best dog ever! I will definitely uphold the same mentality with any other fur babies I come into contact with. We truly don’t deserve such precious creatures!
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs starting at the puppy stage. I have an Aussie who is dog friendly and very energetic. I trained her to walk off leash as well as commands. I am comfortable with all preferences when it’s comes to your fur baby I work 5 mins (walking) from my home. I go home every 2 hours to let dogs out. I walk before and after work and during my lunch. I have a dog park right outside that is private and has space. I love with snuggle w pups and also play. I will provide photo updates to make sure you stay in touch!
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Riceboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 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 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.
