“My partner and I were so pleased with Alanna’s communication with us while we were away on a two-week vacation. Our two dogs were well cared for, and we received regular updates and photos. We returned to find our house clean, our plants watered and our pups happy. Thanks so much Alanna for your support!”
“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!”
“Eli was absolutely amazing. He stayed the weekend at our house and watched our girls (our two doodle plus a little old man). He couldn’t have been sweeter!! The house was perfect condition and all the pups were very well taken care of. We will definitely use Eli the next time we go out of town!”
“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!!”
About: I've had five dogs over the course of my lifetime, purebreds and mutts, large and small. I have strong knowledge of a dog's body language and vocalizations. I have experience driving with dogs in the car. I've even taken care of some more unconventional animals, like lizards. My schedule is flexible. I can work almost any day except Sunday from 11 to 3. I am willing to stay overnight if needed, including long weekends and holidays. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and praise. I listen carefully and observe their behavior so I can tell just what tell just what they want. I love taking dogs for walks, especially in areas with lots of nature. I will bring treats and poop bags if required. I will be respectful of your home while I'm in it. If a certain area is off limits for me or the dog, just let me know.
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.
“Jennifer was amazing with Cosmo , Mako and fifi ! She spoiled them and took care of them , and was right on time for the visits at our home , we will definitely book in the future again 🙏🏻”
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 been around dogs and cats since I was a baby, learning how to care and respect them from my parents, helping with the animal chores growing up. I have years of experience babysitting animals since I was 17, both overnight stays and check ins. I worked for a dog daycare for a year, giving me the ability to learn the doggy body language and knowledge on how to handle dogs of all sorts of temperments. I have experience with basic medical care and giving multiple kinda of medication. My schedule is currently pretty open, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! This will update when I have gotten a new job schedule, but I will always make sure I have the time to properly care for your critter before accepting an offer to care. I am always careful to leave a house as I have found it, making sure to triple check any rules given to me before entering and before leaving the establishment out of respect for you and your critter. If I spend nights, I try to put the sheets in the washer/drier and wash any dishes used before leaving unless asked otherwise.
“Melissa was such a blessing! She took the best care of our sweet Lucy. I knew Lucy was comfortable and in great hands because she ate her food everyday and usually she skips days because she’s anxious when we’re gone. Melissa sent wonderful daily updates and photos, too.”
“Mara was great and I would 100% recommend her. She was very sweet with my dogs and they loved her. When I got back home they were happy and healthy. She also left my house in good condition and communicated with me daily. She is very responsible and I will be using her again!”
“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!”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 611 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tybee Island. On Rover:

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.
