“Madelynn took care of my cat Lucien for 19 days. I had never left my cat for so long before and was overly worried, especially about finding a sitter willing to commit. She made me feel at ease my entire trip with really good pictures and videos, stayed on top of litter and other chores, and provided daily play time. Will definitely be booking again next time I leave town. 10/10”

“Madeline was exactly the right person to take care of our pups! I am SO HAPPY my friend's advice to use Rover brought Madeline to our home. I had ZERO worries about the dogs while we were busy with our daughter's wedding events. We have a 6yr old "Forever Puppy" and a 12 yr old elder dog and they both had their individual needs met, they loved Madeline!”

“Saige was a lifesaver for us when we needed a second cat sitter! She was great at communication and sent great photos of our fur kids. It was a huge comfort to know that someone was only a message away to assure me that the cats were fine so we could enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Saige and we will be hiring her again on our next vacation!”

About: I worked at at dog daycare facility for over 2 years and have experience with almost every kind of dog there is. I have experience with walking, handling, grooming, feeding, giving medication, playing and even a bit of training. I’ve also worked at a pet store before for a few years so I have extra knowledge on a range of animals! I have had a large 130 lb dog, and now have my own kitty who I love very much! Animals are such beautiful and wonderful creatures and I guarantee to treat every one of them with kindness, compassion, patience, and love! I’m currently working full time as a barista, so that takes up a lot of my time in the mornings. But otherwise my schedule is very free, especially on weekends Fri-Sat. I currently am living in apartment that doesn’t allow other animals, so I unfortunately can’t take them to my home. But I am happy to visit your home and take care of anything with your pet that needs to be done! I will also abide by any rules you have set for your pet or myself of course.

About: Hi! I’m Jason, a full-time SCAD student in Savannah. I’m available for Walks/Runs. Drop-In visits & pet sitting in your dog’s home. I dog sat 2 dogs while living and going to school in Chicago and we had so much fun. Coco & Bella 😭💕. I also have a dog of my own back home in Ohio who I miss very deeply. Her name is Lucy. She has a sensitive stomach and a strict diet so I’m familiar with dogs like that as well & know how to care for them. I’m looking forward to meeting your pet. Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’m currently a part time student & a part time employee at a sushi restaurant so I’d honestly like to dog sit whenever I’m available! My home is very minimal but cozy! I don’t have any pets of my own & I have no roommates or anyone coming in or out of the home besides me! So I can ensure the prime safety for all furry friends in my care!

About: Hi, my name is Gavin Schroen! I’m a 20-year-old sophomore Film Student at SCAD and a proud dog owner. I’ve cared for my dog, Calvin, for 14 years—from his playful puppy days to his senior years now—so I have hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. That means I know how to handle high-energy pets who need lots of attention and exercise, as well as senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. What sets me apart is the level of dedication and understanding I bring to pet care. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make sure to give them the same love and attention that I give to Calvin. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I’m committed to keeping pets happy and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Living on my own allows me to dedicate time and attention to pets without major conflicts, making me reliable and adaptable to your needs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so providing consistent care, safety, and attention has become second nature to me. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet ownership and make it a priority to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet I look after.

About: I grew up surrounded by all different types of pets. Having had mostly rescue animals, I have plenty of experience dealing with pets who may be slow to open up due to their pasts. I’ve learned how to problem-solve in emergency situations, practice patience with pets who may not be fully trained, and take care of sick animals who may require medicine administration. I am a part time student, but during June through August, I will be available most days and times! In the fall I will update my availability. I’m familiar using lots of animal equipment such as crates, puppy gates, etc. I’m a very thorough direction follower and will be sure to treat your space and pets with the respect they deserve!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was eight years old, from my own pups to caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re away. From playful puppies to loving seniors, mini poodles to labs, and dog walking to pet sitting I’ve done it all! I’ve always been trusted to come back and care for their pets because I treat every dog like my own. Im currently a student looking for something part time. I love animals and I would love to spend my free time between classes hanging out with your pups. I focus on keeping your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’ll provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, fresh water, and bathroom breaks while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make each visit perfect for your pet!

About: I've had five dogs over the course of my lifetime, purebreds and mutts, large and small. I have strong knowledge of a dog's body language and vocalizations. I have experience driving with dogs in the car. I've even taken care of some more unconventional animals, like lizards. When I'm not caring for pets, I'm a grad student at Savannah College of Art and Design. I'm taking two classes right now. One is on Monday/Wednesday from 11AM to 1:30 PM. The other is Tuesday/Thursday from 8AM to 10:30 AM. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and praise. I listen carefully and observe their behavior so I can tell just what tell just what they want. I love taking dogs for walks, especially in areas with lots of nature. I will bring treats and poop bags if required. I will be respectful of your home while I'm in it. If a certain area is off limits for me or the dog, just let me know.

About: Growing up on a farm in upstate New York, animals were a constant in my life, shaping my understanding of responsibility and empathy from a young age. From family pets to community pets, they’ve always been my top priority. I’ve been watching other people’s pets solo since I was 10. I bring that same commitment to the dogs I care for here. With years of experience and a focus on positive reinforcement, I strive to make every interaction rewarding and comforting for each pet. Whether we’re enjoying a day at the park or relaxing at home, my goal is to provide a familiar, caring presence that puts both you and your pet at ease. I’m here to give your furry friend a trusted companion and a safe, fun experience. If you have any questions, please reach out- I’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m a graduate student at SCAD and occasionally work as a tour guide in the evenings for about 90 minutes, so I have plenty of time between classes and work for walks, playtime, and companionship. I also attended SCAD for undergrad, so I know Savannah well and feel very comfortable exploring the area. Outdoor time is a priority for me! Depending on your dog’s energy level and preferences, we can enjoy walks through Forsyth Park, relax in the grass, stroll along Colonial Park Cemetery, or explore the riverfront. On rainy days, my spacious apartment has plenty of room for indoor games- even a little dog-friendly soccer! I’m happy to plan care around your pet’s usual feeding, potty, exercise, and rest routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, both at my apartment in the Historic District or at your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where trust can thrive. I’m very experienced with leash-reactive dogs and always stay alert on walks to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. I carry water for them, bring treats (happy to work with any preferred type you recommend), and incorporate positive reinforcement to support consistent behavior. For in-home care, safety is my priority. I double-check leashes and harnesses to make sure they’re secure before every walk. I’m hyper aware of the safety of dogs who might be prone to conditions like IVDD. We have an elevator for smooth entry and exit, so there’s minimal strain on your pet’s joints. I’m also trained in safe handling techniques, especially for breeds like French bulldogs who need careful support to avoid back strain. Positive reinforcement is my training method, which means rewarding desired behaviors to encourage repetition. This method builds trust and confidence in pets, reinforcing good habits while keeping training stress-free and enjoyable. Your pet’s safety and well-being are at the heart of my approach. I’m dedicated to creating a stable, enjoyable experience for every pet in my care and am always here to answer any questions or meet specific requests you may have.

About: I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and am the mom to a very energetic and sweet pit bull. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets during getaways, so I will communicate as much as you like and make sure your fur baby is treated with the utmost care and love. I work a standard 8–5 schedule, but I’m excited to care for your pet during evenings or weekends! I’m based in Savannah and happy to travel to surrounding areas to provide excellent care. I will follow all instructions to ensure your pet has the best possible experience in my care. I will treat them as I would my own dog and take every necessary precaution to keep them safe.

About: I’m a makeup artist from Asheville North Carolina! I’ve grown up with pets and have loved them all. From and 100+ pound black lab, to a chihuahua mix, each have left me with so much love and compassion for pets. I can wash, clean after, feed, medicate, walk, play, and love every kind of dog and cat. (Possibly draw them as well 👀). Please reach out, I can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently waiting for classes to begin, so your pets can have my utmost care and attention. I can work late, early, and spend nights easily. I am free Monday-Thursday and some weekends depending on my makeup work. Although I do not offer training, I know how to work with trained and untrained dogs. I can care for senior dogs and know how to handle deaf/blind pets. I will likely request information about your pets social skills and set up a meet and greet for any dogs.

Sara is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL and is now the only sitter I trust with my two cats. My kitties loved her (which says a lot because one of them takes weeks to come out of hiding when introduced to new people)! I finally found someone who makes it possible for me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if my cats are okay - I can’t thank you enough Sara, and I can’t recommend you enough!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Savannah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Savannah is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Savannah. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Savannah. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
