“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What sets me apart is the balance of patience, responsibility, and genuine love I bring to every pup I meet. I am currently studying business at georgia southern university. i have no job and i am really flexible. i am in a sorority so i may have things come up last minute but will be notified!! I make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether in my home or yours. I follow routines, keep walks secure, and create a calm, caring space so every pet feels at home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have had horses for 10 years, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I also worked for a year and a half as a veterinary assistant at a vet’s office while I was in high school. While I am definitely not a professional veterinarian or animal behaviorist, that experience gave me a better understanding of animals and made me more aware of changes in their behavior, health, and overall well-being. I know how important your pets are to you, and I will always treat them with the same care, attention, and patience I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am available for bookings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Mondays, I have classes from 12:45–2:10 PM and 3:00–4:25 PM, so I am available before and after my classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 3:00–4:25 PM and 5:30–6:55 PM, which gives me a good window between classes to check on your pet, depending on the distance from campus. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, and any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and plenty of care and companionship while their owners are away. I treat each home with the same respect I would want for my own and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
About: I have taken care of animals for 22 years, and I absolutely love it. In fact, my whole life I wanted to be a Vet Tech. I love animals, and have a special connection with each of them. I am currently not working full time, as I just had a baby 6 months ago, so I am able to invest my time and energy with my children and with animals. I will be warm and welcoming to all animals, treating them like my own. I enjoy spoiling fur babies and treat them like real children. I will make sure the animals are safe, fed, comfortable, loved, and anything else that they may need! I have a two story condo, with a back patio, small grass area to walk animals, and cozy spaces for fur babies! I would also be willing to go to the dog park or Mill Creek park with the pets.
“Audrey was wonderful! She was super confident in giving shots to my pup. She communicated with me the whole time I was away. I’m very happy with her service and will be using her in the future. 😊😊😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 15. I’ve have experience taking care of animals especially with our family dog. I’m willing to do whatever I can to make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and loved. I currently work part time as a college student, and I’m usually open on the weekends. My schedule may change depending on my classes. I take care of pets my making sure they’re well fed and attended to. I’ve also make sure they’re get enough exercise so get their energy out for the day.
About: I had a great dog as a child and as I have grown up, I decided to get one of my own! I love taking dogs out to play and watch them run around. I also don’t mind just sitting there loving them! I am a full-time college student and a full-time sorority girl! While that may sound busy, I actually do everything online so i am always free, at any time. I have two kittens and a dog of my own to help keep your company and play. I have crates for all my animals just incase anything were to go wrong. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do own leashes of multiple sizes!
About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my dedication to providing exceptional care tailored to each dog's individual needs. I ensure that every furry friend is treated with the utmost love and care. My commitment to making a positive impact is reflected in the personalized experience I provide for each pet, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-behaved. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to make pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to incorporate time for walking, feeding, playtime. By dedicating regular slots in my day for pet care, I ensure that each furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve to thrive and be happy. It's a priority for me to make sure they feel loved and well-cared for every day! I won’t be doing in Home pet care, but I definitely will be doing it in the future. I will be updating once I decide.
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: I love all animals and my biggest goal is the give you and your dog an OUTSTANDING Rover experience. I will talk to your furry friend, play with them, walk them, and provide any additional care as necessary. I am here to make your life easier and your dogs life worth woofing about! I don’t have my own pooch right now, but with Rover, I am able to get all the face licks and wiggles of joy I need, all while helping others and making some extra cash. Loving what you do directly correlates with the quality of service provided - I love what I do and nothing in life is more important than that. I currently work full time Monday-Friday with an hour lunch break. I can sleep over your place, give your pet all the cuddles they need, and come for the afternoon walkie! (If close enough to my work/if they need it) I go to clients homes, am able to spend the night with your pets, do their morning routine, and come as needed in the afternoon during my lunch break.

Megan visited with us before sitting with our dog, Brody. She did a wonderful job of caring for him while we were on vacation. She was punctual, sent us messages and photos at every visit, and went above and beyond during her visits with him. We will definitely be booking Megan again the next time we go out of town.
Megan exceeded my expectations in every way possible!! She took such good care of our fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while we were away on extended vacation!! She took such good care of cats and dogs and even fed fish. She has such a kind heart and truly went above and beyond u could literally see the smiles on our dogs faces in the pics and tell they fell in love with her and now we do too!!! She took such care and did every thing that was asked and then some went above and beyond in every way!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Statesboro is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 157 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Statesboro. 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 Statesboro. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
