“Makayla was absolutely wonderful, and I would happily book her again. She paid close attention to both Rowan and Wesley, taking the time to understand their individual needs and making sure they were happy, healthy, and comfortable while we were away. She went above and beyond to help Rowan adjust during her very first time being without us, taking extra care to ensure she was eating well and settling in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness gave us tremendous peace of mind. Makayla also made sure they got plenty of exercise and enrichment, walking and playing with them every day. It was clear they received lots of love and attention. On top of taking exceptional care of our pets and sending daily updates, she left our home spotless. We came home to two happy pets and a beautifully cared-for house. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Makayla to anyone looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond.”

“Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!”

“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.!”

“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 (pronounced Kaya) was such a blessing! We left before Hurricane Helene and while gone, we realized that we may not be able to be back when scheduled. She was very flexible and made sure that our pups were taken care of even during the storm and after as we got stuck and couldn’t get home on time. She sent daily pictures and everything was perfect when we got home. The communication was on point and she followed all of my crazy requests 🤣. She even drove somewhere where she could find phone service to communicate with me that our dogs were OK . She did a fantastic job and I will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Lauren was the best sitter we have ever experienced! One of our dogs is a special needs rescue and is incredibly shy and scared of everything. Lauren was so patient with her and was able to break through the initial barrier. Happy doesn't even describe how we feel about it. Lauren has got a gift, y'all! It was SUCH a relief to know that all four of our fur babes were well cared for and very comfortable while we were gone for an entire week. Lauren provided us with a regular stream of texts, pictures and videos that clearly showed how comfortable our pets were with her. Not only that, we came home to a tidy house! Book her now, she is worth every penny! 🐾”

About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.

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.
“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.”


“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.”

About: I have been raised around dogs, rabbits, cats, farm animals, you name it I have done it my entire life through. I do not offer dog training but I have worked to train all of our personal dogs, including one retired service dog. My expertise is definitely in dogs and rabbits, however my love for animals is endless and as long as you tell me what they need I can help them! I can also groom your animals in home if you would like but at an additional charge incase your animals get stressed going to the groomers. I can work with all sizes, all ages, from bottle fed to senior, trust me I have seen them all. I'm currently in college for Equine Animal Science, my first degree to becoming a veterinarian specializing in horses. I live with my parents as it's online college, however they're not helping me in any way and I do not offer in-home services since it's their home. Online college makes it much easier for me to flexible and able to help you and your furbabies since I can set it aside and worry about your animals at any given point in time, no meetings, no hold on. I have the ability to set it down immediately at the drop of a hat for them, and I do so constantly with my own animals. I am more than willing to stay with them for a few hours if you don't want them to be alone, stay the night with them, let them out to go potty and play with them for a bit, take them for walks, help you teach a puppy to go potty outside, and if you have dogs that get stressed at the groomers then I would be happy to try and groom them at home where they feel safer! Really anything you could possibly ask me to do for your pet I would probably do. I love the special ones, even the ones that you have to "sprinkle spices" on their food. My heart is endless for them and I promise to love and protect them like my own.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 375 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.
