“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!”
About: I’m young and fit and can walk dogs all day and happy to do it. I have had large dogs like golden retrievers and small dogs such as my Jack Russell. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a two bedroom townhouse with a large living room and plenty of rooms for pets. My neighborhood has sidewalks great for walking. I have a pet proof car with a cover on the backseat. I am also on the wag application and have accomplished over 80 dog walks and have a perfect five star rating. I’m happy to go above and beyond for you and your pet. I work at a seasonal business and am in the off season now so I have extra time now for pets.
“I can highly recommend Melanie to watch your pups! We were in town to see the Christmas lights and didn't feel comfortable leaving the pups in the Airbnb alone for an extended period of time. Contacted Melanie and she was available that evening. She showed up exactly when she said and the dogs were all over her once she got in the house. You know what they say about dogs, they can sense a good person and she was. If you in town and need a sitter, she is the one to get!”
About: While I am experienced with any size breed, I excel with large breeds. I grew up in a home with German Shepherds, so high-energy pups are no challenge for me! I currently work part time, so I am available during the week and weekends on occasion. Evening and overnight care work best for my schedule. I make sure each animal gets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, outside time, or just sitting on the couch, making that connection is important. Growing up around dogs, I learned to read animal body language, so their enrichment and care are of utmost importance to me.
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’ve taken care of sweet dogs, fearful dogs, young dogs, old dogs, sick dogs, high energy and couch potato dogs. All dogs like me and I like them. We snuggle on the couch, play and take naps. I don’t take large dogs anymore unless they are seniors. I’m retired and I live a quiet life. I love all animals and enjoy their company. Pet sitting is not a chore for me - it’s a joy. I’m home most of the day so your pet won’t be lonely. Your dogs are royalty at my house. Don’t expect discipline. They play, nap, get snacks (according to what you bring) watch TV, go on leash for potty breaks. If they need a schedule for meals or meds- no problem. What they get from me is ATTENTION.
“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 taken care of horses for the last 5 years and they are pretty much like big dogs lol. Your fur baby’s will be spoiled;) I’m free Monday through Friday all day, then on weekends I’m free after 11:00. Can always drop in and check on them, I always have time to clean up after your pup I can stay overnight if needed, i do drop in visit to just to check on your pup, i can walk them on a leash or play with them in the backyard.
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.
“Anna house sitting for my three fur babies, two cats and one very shy and anxious dog. Our dog took right to her. She gave us updates to calm our worries. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Joanna did an excellent job watching our house and kitties. She provided updates and photos often. The house was clean and in great shape when we returned. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jacy was incredible! She took such great care of my home and my dog while I was away—I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house. She even went above and beyond by doing laundry (after thoughtfully asking if I minded first), cleaned the dishes, put away the ones I’d left in the dishwasher, and maked all the beds. She even took the time to do some training with Joy and now my dog can do new trick and follows commands better. It was such a treat to come home to everything in perfect order. Super responsible, respectful, and kind—highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy house sitter!”
“Allie was great! She was very responsible, reliable, and took wonderful care of both my dog and my home. I really appreciated the pictures she sent while I was away. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her!”
“My wife and I are new to the area and needed to go away for a few days, we have used Rover in the past so that is where I headed and once again, we got so lucky in finding Cheyenne!! Oh my gosh did our "Boys" fall in love immediately and we could see Cheyenne's overwhelming love for them as well. Our days away were filled with updates constantly and photos which put us at ease! We would recommend Cheyenne to anyone but selfishly we don't want her to get too busy for when we have a need again!”
“Can't say enough about how terrific Katia was, caring for our dog, Ollie. She sent regular pictures and videos and kept us fully up-to-date about package deliveries and any other household matters. She was a delight to deal with! This was our first trip away since moving to this home 2 years ago, so we were a little tense, but Katia put our minds at ease and we will definitely make her our go-to sitter!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Simons Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Simons Island on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Simons Island. 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 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 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
