“Alanna was amazing!! She took fantastic care of Roadie, sent lots of photos and updates, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She also took great consideration of my home, and left everything in perfect condition. She was extremely considerate on all levels and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet/home sitter!”
“My dog was clearly very happy and well loved in her care! Would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her again! She left my house very clean and well taken care of as well which is always a nice bonus!”
“I have used Alexis a few times now for my dog boo and she does a great job every time and making sure the house is clean when I come home she sends me updates and let me know how he is doing! He is a puppy so it is really hard sometimes to deal with his puppy way, but I’m grateful for her patience”
“Emily is fantastic!!! We book with her whenever we need a pet sitter - she's great with our fur baby and very thoughtful and professional. I would highly recommend!!”
“All I can say is wow. Ryan took SUCH good care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He sent so many fun pictures and videos and I can tell the pets were so well taken care of and so loved. I wish I had met Ryan sooner so Ziggy, Jim, and Hank could have had more time with him. Highly recommend having him hang with your cute pup or kitty! I truly could not recommend him more - 10/10, no notes!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. And I have walked dogs for neighbors in the past. I love animals and love to help them in any kind of way! I am currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of open availability. I’m very flexible and drive my own car. My apartment is very safe! I have to keep it baby proof for my cat anyway so I am very careful about that. I am very clean and always clean up after myself.
“Wesley was fantastic! My sweet boy is blind and diabetic with a long list of medications and needs. Wesley was kind and patient with exceptional attention to detail managing his needs. Anxious about leaving him in anyone’s care I was reassured at every step by photos and updates throughout the stay and it was clear that my boy was receiving so much love! Wesley is a treasure!”
“Kiersten took care of our 10 week old puppy whom we were hesitant to leave for a beach day. She responded quickly to a last minute booking and took excellent care of our puppy as well as our Suite and immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future for our next Savannah visit.”
About: From enormous dogs to disabled cats, I’ve owned them all! A proud shelter pet foster parent and adopter I’ve had 6 dogs 2 cats to call mine. My current furry companions include Lily, a 125lb Dane-Lab mix who loves to play, and Sammy, a one eyed tuxedo cat who gets eye drops (and extra head scratches) everyday. A friend to all, even if they aren’t friends back, I’m comfortable around everyone from the shyest to the most affectionate. I’ve been walking, sitting, boarding, and loving animals for more than half my life and am excited to meet and care for yours now too! A part time college student I’m available absolutely any time I’m not in classes (Monday and Wednesday from 10-2 and Tuesday and Thursday from 1-5). Weekdays, weekends, holidays, overnights, no problem! I’m used to taking care of my own 24/7 and you can expect them same for your own. Coming from big yards and small apartments alike, I’m used to a wide variety of pet care environments. Walks around the city, running around the yard, or even a day trip to pet friendly parks/beaches are all personal favorites, but each pet is different so just let me know what yours need! I’m comfortable with litter, cleaning up messes, and am quick to learn special setups or equipment.
“Sharon is truly one of a kind. She is the most attentive, kind, and caring person I’ve had the pleasure of trusting with my three sweet fur babies. From the very first visit, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable, happy, and well cared for—whether it’s giving them lots of love and attention, or sending thoughtful updates while I’m away. Knowing Sharon is with them brings me complete peace of mind. I can’t recommend her highly enough”
About: Hi everyone! I have been pet sitting for about three years and absolutely adore animals. What sets me apart from other sitters is that in high school I took four years of vet science and learned so much about behaviors and different animal systems. I have also grown up around animals and carry an enormous amount of empathy and respect for them. I do currently work full time so I am mostly available for morning & night visits but I am very reliable:) I am looking for an extra job since I am currently saving for my first apartment! In my clients home I enjoy cuddling with their pets, playing with toys and going on walks. I take very good care of my clients homes and leave it looking fresh every time. At my own home I am always cuddling my cats and giving them lots of kisses and treats😆
“Eli takes such good care of our dog Marsi and our home! Left it cleaner than he found it. He checks in and sends lots of pictures. He’s also just the nicest guy! We are so happy we found him!”
“Tatiana was an amazing sitter for all our fur babies. She treated them as her own and spoiled them lots. We got many pictures of the pets which gave us the warm and fuzzy they were good in her care. She kept our house clean/ in order and we'd gladly hire her again!”
“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups. I would highly recommend booking Tammy. She is sweet and very caring. I could tell my pups were well taken care of.”
About: I’m a warm-hearted animal lover with a deep connection to pets of all kinds. I’m also a Reiki Master, offering gentle energy work to help anxious or stressed pets feel calm and at ease. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible almost every day. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible — just send a message and we’ll figure out what works. I keep a calm, low-stress environment with no other dogs in the home, which is ideal for pets who are nervous around other animals or just prefer one-on-one attention. My backyard is fully fenced, so there’s plenty of room for safe play and bathroom breaks without worry.

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 Tybee Island 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 Tybee Island 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tybee Island 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 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.
