“This is the second time Abigail has sat for us and she continues to be amazing! She is so patient with our older pup and a great communicator. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“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!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that. *Important - I am a College student who switches between Miami, Florida and Georgia* • Miami: November 21st - January 1st May 28th - September 12th • Georgia: September 13th - November 19th January 3rd - May 26th I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.
About: Hi! I have had dogs since I was born. Older, younger, smaller, larger, much larger. I have been dog watching since around age 14 or so. I currently have one chiweenie (13), my sweet baby, whom I had to leave for a bit because of schooling, though I tend to her weekly. I also volunteer at a nearby animal shelter to help out the understaffed staff with all of their animals as well! I am currently working part-time as of now, but I will be very open as soon as I begin to gain a clientele! Message me or request times, and I will be very happy to come sit your pups! I will mostly be offering client home sittings, as my home is on a non-fenced, multi-acre piece of land. Safety for your pup is very important to me, so we might take a trip to a nearby dog park if they are residing with me for an allotted time.
“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!”
“Natalie was wonderful!! Helped us out in a pinch and took excellent care of all FOUR of our animals, including surprising one of our pups with a birthday cookie :). Very grateful and can’t wait to have her back soon!”
“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: I’ve had animals in my life ever since I was a kid! From dogs, cats, goats, rabbits etc! I have always been the “stay at home mom” when it comes to my babies and I enjoy every minute! I love animals so much! I have taken care of a lot of other people’s animals before and I always enjoy the time spent with there fur babies! I always do my best to do whatever the care taker wants for there pets! I’m free all summer and this will be my full time job! Unless a emergency occur then I will not be available, but that shouldn’t happen (at least I hope not 😭) I treat all my animals with the love and respect they deserve! I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, a bunny and a lot of other farm animals lol! I feed them 3 times a day and make sure their water is always full, I have a LOT of toys and treats for them (they are soooo spoiled!) and they have 4 comfy dog beds, a big yard to run in and intimate belly rubs!
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She took such great and attentive care of our two dogs, cat and our home! Her communication was perfect! Would recommend her to anyone and will be booking again!”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs starting at the puppy stage. I have an Aussie who is dog friendly and very energetic. I trained her to walk off leash as well as commands. I am comfortable with all preferences when it’s comes to your fur baby I work 5 mins (walking) from my home. I go home every 2 hours to let dogs out. I walk before and after work and during my lunch. I have a dog park right outside that is private and has space. I love with snuggle w pups and also play. I will provide photo updates to make sure you stay in touch!
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.

The average cost of House Sitting in Tybee Island is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $44 per night.

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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
