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.
“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: Growing up a huge dog lover, I’ve become my friends’ stand-in dog sitter while they’re away for weekend trips. I grew up with bulldogs, boxers, huskies, and mutts- since moving from FL to Charlotte, NC to St Simon’s Island to be closer, I miss my dogs back at home more than anything! We’ve rescued dogs abandoned in our yard to picking them out & raising them from pups. We have 2 Aussie labradoodles & a German short hair pit mutt. I feed, walk, bathe, play, and of course soak up as many snuggles as I can, but will follow any special instructions given for extra care. I also like to send photo updates so you know your babies are enjoying themselves. ❣️ I have a full-time sales job with lots of travel, so I can’t get a dog of my own yet but love being around them! I live in a home with no other pets in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m currently getting a fence installed, so my yard will be fenced in very soon. Once fenced, I’m excited to throw the ball and play in the backyard. I like taking dogs on long walks if it’s nice out but avoid the dog park unless told otherwise. If I’m dog or housesitting in a clients home, I make sure the pups are comfortable and always leave it cleaner than I found it. Southern manners matter to me!
“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.”
“My first time using Rover as I recently moved. What a blessing for Katia P to have looked after my feline ladies these past 4 days! She is very professional, prompt, caring, responsive care giver for my felines ladies. I will ask Karia to oversee my felines ladies again!”
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).

About: From cats to chickens and gerbils to guinea pigs, animals, including dogs of all sizes have been apart of my family over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Vera, who I met over a year ago while volunteering at the animal shelter. I’m happy to share she is my #fosterfail. I love taking her for walks and giving her lots of cuddles. I like following Caesar Millan’s techniques and his approach of being a pack leader.

I want to know of any dietary requirements, potty break schedule, and unique needs. I am also happy to provide updates that fit your schedule. Please let me know how I can help :)
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets for over 10 years.

Whether your pets need a fun walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, including many evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby gets the care, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away! 💕 Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel right at home. I have a secure fenced yard and plenty of space for playtime and relaxation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Simons Island is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 176 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Simons Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
