“Ashley did such a great job with Ruger. She came to our home twice while we were away. She dropped in on time, took pics of Ruger for us, and let us know how he was doing. She took him outside to go potty, fed him and gave him water. She played with him for a little while and he warmed up to her right away. HUGE thanks to Ashley for “peace of mind”, being able to leave home all day knowing our sweet Ruger was happy and safe with her. 🥰”
“Amazing serves as always. I so thankful to know when I have to be out town all the babies are well taken care of and loved. They always go above and beyond for our family.”
“My kitty is 16 years old and usually takes a long time to warm up to someone new. Cheyenne was wonderful with her and made her feel comfortable right away (I was amazed!). Made it very easy for me to relax and enjoy a few days away. I will definitely book with Cheyenne again!”
“Very happy with our sitter Korey! She is great with our cats. She was patient with our one cat that is not so friendly and she even turned on cat TV for them all to enjoy!! We even got some pics of the one enjoying the cat tv!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have had dogs of my own for a long time. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pups! I currently have a beagle puppy! I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep you updated while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel safe and cared for. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain attentive to our surroundings. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure your pet receives the same love and attention they’re used to. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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: I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter and walker who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup needs a fun walk to burn energy or a calm, comforting presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I was lucky to have my late dog, Molly, for 11 amazing years, so I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care. I always pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that means extra exercise, patience with shy dogs, or lots of belly rubs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I am working full time at Sea Island but live by myself so taking care of dogs will help with just the boredness and search after work I understand pets are family, and I’ll care for your dog like my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions.
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.
“Emma took great care of my Skynard. He was ready to relax when I got home from work the past couple of days. His walks with Emma helped him burn some energy! Thank you for taking care of my sweet boy.”
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.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping my grandmothers care for their dogs and later taking an active role in caring for my own family dog. I eventually got my own cat, who I’ve independently cared for for several years. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve spent the past 4 months working as an overnight pet sitter, caring for pets of all ages and types and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’ve also worked with children through babysitting and have experience staying calm, responsible, and attentive in situations that require patience and flexibility. My love for animals has even influenced my education. I’m currently a student-athlete at the College of Coastal Georgia majoring in Marine Biology. I’m passionate about animal care and treat every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs. As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule can be fairly busy, especially before 3 p.m. However, I’m definitely open to working on weekdays as long as we can discuss the schedule ahead of time and make sure it works with my classes and practices. I have much more flexibility on weekends, with the exception of a few Saturday mornings when I have practice. I’ll always communicate my schedule and availability in advance so that pet care can be planned accordingly. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to accommodate! My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Melanie and her son Brinson are some of the most professional and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with taking care of our yellow lab Kiger. We booked Melanie sight unseen as our daughter was getting married in St Simons Island. We got pictures every time they came to walk and feed Kiger and on the day of the wedding they managed him at the wedding perfectly so we never had to worrying once. Thank you for an amazing experience. If you are looking for someone to help take care of your pet(s) on St Simons Island I would not hesitate to use them and I highly recommend their services.”
“Lahra is amazing and very caring. This is the second time using her and I always feel very comfortable knowing Hank is in great hands. I will definitely keep using her.”
“Staci was super sweet and kind to Lola. She works at the humane society which helped me be so much more relaxed because I knew she would know how to take care of her. Will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Simons Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
