“I could not have been more pleased - Alanna was wonderful! My 13 year old Pom - who usually takes a while to warm up to people - loved her immediately, and I came home to a happy and much-loved little gal. And my condo was cleaner than I left it! Will definitely reach out to her again, and my daughter will be as well for her dog. Thank you so much!”
“Had a great experience! Alexis was very patient with our nervous dogs and gave all of them a lot of attention! We received a lot of feedback and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”
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.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my dog. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell they had been well-loved and cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I taught my dog Charlotte how to give kisses and my cat Garfield how to be affectionate. Cats and dogs bring me joy and comfort. I am available Sunday through Saturday as early as 7 in the morning and can stay overnight. I only need a days notice to make it work. I like to give back to animals. My dog Charlotte got me through the worst time in my life so I repay her with walks, dog parks, groomer trips, treats, and outside time. My cat Garfield loved cat TV and being sung to sleep.
“Jessica was great- very kind and attentive and took great care of my gsd who has some separation anxiety. She also was so kind to accommodate a fairly last minute booking. Would highly recommend”
About: I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable and familiar with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breed due to my time working at a doggy daycare. I grew up around all kinds of animals, and currently have two cats of my own and regularly watch my sisters Great Pyrenees. I know that your pets are important and beloved members of your family, so I promise they will be safe and well taken care of when in my care
“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.”
“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!”
“Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I see “pets” as people; they are not just animals; they are family. Ever since I was young, neighbors, family members, friends, and even my former cheer coach have trusted me enough to care for their pets. I have experience staying in clients’ homes for extended periods of time, making sure their pets are fed, walked, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your baby, and I always treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I grew up with animals in my house. We’ve always had Dachshunds (Wiener dogs) and multiple cats at a time. Even though I’ve never had a big dog of my own, I’ve been a sitter for many family friends with black labs and golden retrievers. I hope one day I’ll be able to have one of my own! I’m currently a SCAD student who just finished her 5 week summer courses and I’m looking for ways to make some money before school starts. My weeks are fully free without class. I can take your dogs on walks or play with them at the dog park. I have also previously walked a cat in a stroller, so if that’s something you’re interested in doing, I would. I do live in an apartment on downtown, so I don’t have much yard but there is some outside my building. We don’t have a big backyard which is a bummer. Sometimes military aircraft fly by our house and tend to be very loud for animals who have a hard time with noise. But it is close to Forsyth park!
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😆
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.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 12. I also believe dogs are our greatest gifts. I have always taken in special needs pups if I can. My last two had cerebellar hypoplasia and lived to be 16 and 17 yo. I work part time as a therapist and love being around animals. It is healing and rewarding for me. I also enjoy walks and being outside so it’s a win. I will treat your family with the love and warmth I give my own. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy and safe. My years of experience with many breeds, sizes, and species give me a strong foundation of care and ongoing expertise.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tybee Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tybee Island on Rover is $45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tybee Island. 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 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.
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 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 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.

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.
