“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Mai and Jonathan provided for our pets, Cooper and Bec, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, they gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication. It's clear that they genuinely love animals and treated both Cooper and Bec like part of their own family. When we returned home, Cooper was happy and well cared for, and Bec was relaxed and content. Knowing that both our dog and cat were receiving such attentive, loving care allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Mai and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and we are so grateful for the kindness and responsibility they showed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Cooper and Bec, we would gladly have you watch them again!”
About: I help care for the family pets including, a dog, cat, two guinea pigs, and chickens. Growing up around many animals has allowed me to experience the affection and different personalities of different animals. I’m in search of a job currently so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets. On weekdays during the morning and nights! Feel free to text and ask about afternoons or weekends. I learned from a young age how to care for pets. Providing, food, water, outside time, playtime, and affection. I often love taking my dog out on walks/trails to get him out of the house.
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
About: I have always loved dogs and I have decided that I want to be around dogs in my free time because it makes me happy! I am a soon to be retired school teacher and want to spend my time now with animals especially dogs! For the next 10 months I will be still working my teacher schedule and would like to get a head start on my next venture. I would be available for dog sitting on weekends and dog walks after 3pm during the work week and anytime over weekends. I have always had a dog growing up and very lovingly cared for my own dogs for the last 31 years. I enjoy being around all dogs. When I retire I would also like to volunteer somewhere for dogs. Again, for the next 10 months, I will still be working my teacher schedule and I will be available during the work week after 3 PM for dog walks or drop ins and during the weekend for overnights. I also would be available for some of my school breaks. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog named Lina. She is medium sized and very friendly with other dogs. I would love to love on your fur baby.
About: I love all animals and I've always had pets my whole life. I had my own pet sitting business for several years and specialized in Special Needs animals as I had one myself. I have two small white fluffernutters myself , a Bichon Frisse and a Morkie and a sixteen-year-old cat and they are my heart. Have a large fenced-in yard for for playing and pottying but we go on walks every day so everybody can get some exercise. My animals live to be quite old so I do have some experience with aging pets and special dietary requirements. My neighborhood is in a very safe area with lots of mature trees and grassy areas for playing and walking , plus I have a front porch for gazing at the world in a safe space.
“Nora was amazing!! She followed my instructions and I can tell my pup had a great time. She was on time and such a kind person. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Wonderful and kind. Will certainly work with her again. Thank you so much for your help❤️❤️ it was a big ask but she stayed over night with our pups at our house. I appreciate her diligence and consideration”
About: I have always had pets growing up from small dogs to big dogs even cats ! My family also had plenty of pets which I would take care of once in a while ! I have nothing but free time now and would love to meet new fur babies I currently work part time at Sephora I don’t make enough hours this would really help out also I love animals and wouldn’t mind meeting some new fur babies , my schedule is always open I would love to take a whole day playing or watching your pet !! I have fenced yard a pretty big living room space for dogs and cats I have pets of my own but they have their own room don’t have to worry about anything! Also I don’t have children .
“Erin was so wonderful with our pets while we traveled abroad. Our senior dog and senior cat are both special needs and Erin cared so well for them! Also it was the first time leaving our small dog (he usually travels with us) and we were unsure how he’d do. Erin kept us updated with texts and pictures and we were able to truly relax. We will definitely use Erin again in the future.”
“Jennifer and Jason were amazing! They were the perfect duo. Our boxer/pitt mix can be intimidating to some people but they came and instantly made our girl feel safe. I will absolutely book with them again. They were also incredibly friendly and kept us updated on her. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Danielle stayed with our boys for a week over 4th of July. It was during the heat wave and our AC was having a hard time keeping up. She ensured us that the animals were cool and comfortable throughout her stay!”
“Great care staying with our dogs. He kept us informed and even repaired a freeze handle I had neglected to fix before we left home. I will definitely use Mark in the future to take care of our pups.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.
“Sarah was super communicative and made our trip hassle-free. She stayed at our home to watch Big Daddy for the weekend and sent pictures and updates daily. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Tori is such a thorough and thoughtful sitter. She recently completed her 3rd stay with my pets at my home(including overnights) & has been more meticulous every stay. My pets were happy and healthy upon my return and I look forward to using her services again. Thanks, Tori!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Acworth
Madeline was AMAZING! She gave us so much peace of mind as we left for a whole week. She communicated daily and sent photos every afternoon. We had sugar ants and she went to the store to buy a trap for them. She washed the sheets and dishes before we got home. She was 100/10!!! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!
Faith is our go-to house sitter when we have a long vacation and want our babies to be well loved and cared for. She sends pics and updates daily, and leaves the house in great shape. She is communicative and personable, and we know our pets are in safe hands with her!
Lo was an absolute lifesaver for us. She stepped in on short notice during a stressful situation and immediately helped bring calm and consistency for our dogs. She was flexible, dependable, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. We have a multi-dog household with different personalities and needs, and Lo handled them with patience, confidence, and genuine care. She kept us updated, was communicative, and made sure the dogs were cared for, exercised, and safe while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing someone trustworthy was there with them. We truly appreciated her willingness to help, especially on short notice, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Acworth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Acworth on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,998 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Acworth. 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 Acworth 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 Acworth 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 Acworth 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.
