Thank you so much Amelia.”
About: I am a local college student with a focus on Early Childhood Education. Animals have been my safe space for as long as I can remember. I have two dogs and a bearded dragon that I consider my family. We love to go for walks and play outside in the sunshine! I am happy to assist with any of your pet needs as my schedule is very flexible! I am a full-time college student and currently only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Even with classes two days out of the week, my days/evenings are flexible. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs and I enjoy getting outside to sit in the sun and throw the ball. I also enjoy taking my bearded dragon outside for some natural basking. The dogs and I go for daily walks and we have our daily routine feedings. Baths are given every one to two weeks (depending on how stinky they are).
“I can't say enough about their care for my dog Coco. Coco responded so openly and joyfully to them that I immediately felt a sense of relief and that Coco will be well taken care of. Whenever I return to Brunswick, I will definitely use Ashley and Amber's services. I highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for all of my life and have always had a dog near my side. My Great Dane was my best friend until she passed away at 9 last year. I love helping trains dogs and have a great record for training and obedience. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and understanding to take care of a best friend. I go to school in the mornings and I’m usually available in the afternoons and the weekends with a little notice. My schedule can be very flexible as needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I have three dogs, ages 8,12,12. My three dogs are range from 10 pounds to 100 pounds so I am familiar with taking care of dogs both old and young and small and large. I will follow any specific rules or needs for any client.
About: I care for animals as if they are my own and have experience with a wide variety of dogs. I also volunteer at the humane society once per month. I work from home so am able to give my own animals, and yours, the love and attention that they deserve while you are away. Walks, pets or treats - I'm here to spoil them! I typically have a flexible schedule. I am home most weekdays and weeknights to do drop ins, short walks, car rides and an occasional pet/house sit! I have a fenced yard and animals are monitored while in the yard. Yard is well maintained and pleasant for animals to play or sunbathe.

About: Hello my name is Andrea. As a future employer you will enjoy my flexible availability, positive disposition and attention to any special needs your pet might have. I have been a caretaker for the past 2 years for an elderly woman that was unable to take care of her pet and so took on the responsibility of caring for the both of them. Through this experience I have seen that pets are an important part of the family and need the same kind of care and affection as any person. Staying active and healthy is important for me and caring for younger pets requires being physically fit. I look forward to meet with you, talk about your pets and see how I can best help taking care of them.
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

Rya was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She stayed with them while we were out of town for the weekend, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was great about communicating with us, kept us updated while we were away, and clearly genuinely cared about our dogs. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. We would absolutely recommend Rya and will definitely be booking her again!
Jaclyn took wonderful care of my dog, Murphy, for two evenings. She was incredibly attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and kept me updated with the sweetest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made our time away from home far more enjoyable knowing Murphy was in such good hands. I would absolutely use Jaclyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

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 Saint Simons Island 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 Saint Simons Island 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 Saint Simons Island 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.
