Makayla was absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home and took great care of our home and our dogs She communicated throughout my time away, She sent multiple updates with photos. I never had to worry about what was happening in my absence. She went above and beyond! My girls loved her, and she gave very attentive care to them. My only hesitation in leaving a stellar review is that it may make her busier and less available to watch my girls in the future. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend her!

Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!

Brooke went above and beyond in every respect from the moment we contacted her. Her communication was excellent, she came out for a house visit to meet the dogs to ease our concerns of having someone stay at our home and watch our young dogs (this was the first time we were leaving them with someone). She listened to every single instruction with incredible attention to detail, she communicated with us with pictures regularly to ease our anxiety while we were gone, she clearly cared for our dogs, gave them tons of love and attention, and her experience with animals and background in dog training was evident. She had the perfect blend of firm boundary setting with our rowdy boys while being loving with only positive reinforcement. We came home to a spotless house, she washed dog dishes she didn’t have to wash, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. We can’t recommend her enough and it’s a relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch our dogs again when we leave town.

I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.

About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.

About: I have always had a passion for animals. I started sitting for furbabes when I was in high school.I am an Army Veteran and work at an urgent care as a Medical Assistant. I have a Great Pyrenees, Whiskey whose is considered special needs and 3 cats Pendleton,Jameson and Moscato who are all full of energy. I typically work 3 days a week and would be happy to travel within the Brunswick/SSI or Jekyll area to care for your fur babes. I try to stay under a 10 mile radius from where I live in historic Brunswick. Please feel free to reach out to me for more detailed scheduling options and pricing for a case by case basis.If you require more than one visit a day, I do charge an extra $5 for the 2nd service. I also like to do a military/first responder/student discount! As for cancellations I do require a 48hour notice for drop in visits but I understand that it’s not always possible. My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm

About: Hi! I'm Haley, and I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even exotic pets such as tarantulas and scorpions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine care, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust with patience and positive interactions. Friends and family often tell me their pets warm up to me quickly, and I've had dogs become attached to me after only a couple of visits. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine, so fitting your pet into my schedule comes easily! I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I care for my own pet every day, including maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and monitoring their health and behavior. For example, my pet scorpion is fed twice a week, and I mist his enclosure twice daily to maintain proper humidity. Caring for animals has become second nature to me, and I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs extra love and companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe. I believe the best pet care starts with respecting each pet's individual routine. Every animal is different, so I make it a priority to follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as you've outlined. My goal is to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks while also keeping food and water fresh and cleaning up after your pet. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home (when applicable), I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable. I'll continue to follow their normal routine and make sure they receive the same level of care, affection, and supervision they would receive at home. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: My first dog was a senior rescue terrified of humans and dogs, and my current dog is a hyper mega-loving Coonhound! You can say I've had very different experiences lol! I've had experience administering medication for my own dogs as well as others. I was able to crate train my then 9 year old dog! My 2 year old dog is responding well to training, and has never met a soul she didn't love. I'm a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible! I work from home mostly, but I also rent a studio in Savannah- so sometimes I'll pop in for a shoot! My projects usually vary from 1-3 gigs a month. Happy to give lots of cuddles and attention! My own dog whines when she's not given love 😂 I can also crate when needed or we can work together with my laptop! I love walks and we can play fetch in the backyard if needed! Also happy to do any basic chores needed like emptying your dishwasher or vacuuming!

About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.

On weekends, I am fully available and can provide flexible care to ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve.

My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Townsend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 152 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Townsend. 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 Townsend 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 Townsend 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 Townsend 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 with handling special pet needs in Townsend. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
