Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra attention, medication reminders, and a calm environment. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and detailed care notes so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently new to the area just relocated from the beautiful San Diego California. I’m enjoying then change of environment, weather but mostly the new fur buddies I’m making 😊 Trusted pet care ❤️ I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and affection. In a client's home, I respect the pet's environment and maintain their schedule while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly space with close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and companionship. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”

About: Hello! I’m Logan and I live in Loganville, Georgia. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have previously worked at a dog and cat kennel in Loganville for 3 years and have been a Rover user for around 8 years while also doing private caregiving for many pets throughout my life from Dogs/Cats, Birds, Horses and Goats, Chickens, Reptiles..You name it! When it comes to my property, I have a trail in the woods behind my home that my family has cleared. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs love! Furthermore, I am experienced with administering medications to many different kinds of animals. Personally, animals speak to my soul and are the best stress relievers and that’s why I love my job. I hope I can be of assistance to those who love their furry family members and I am always available to chat or you can call me at anytime through the Rover app. I have just recently graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College with a History Degree. I am currently looking to begin a career so until then, I will be at the house everyday to care for client’s pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and I have over an acre of land. A portion of my land is completely fenced in for pets to run around in. I care for my client’s pets by feeding, playing with, walking/running/exercising with pets and making sure they have everything the need. Overall it’s a fun time with all furry friends while also maintaining proper care and abiding by any requests that clients have provided.

“I was a little apprehensive having somebody stay at the house for a week while we weren’t home to take care of our two fur babies, but I’ve gotta say it was the best decision we could’ve ever made. He was super attentive and the communication was exceptional! We will definitely be using him again.!!! He left the house tidy, and I feel in my soul that our dog and cat were taken care of the same way they would have if we have been home!”

“Kirstin was an angel saved us after we had to find an emergency sitter due to our previous sitter flaking on us while we were away. She came in without much preparation with a loving and can do attitude ready to get our animals and home back on track. She was so loving and kind to our very stressed animals. Will absolutely book again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Apalachee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apalachee. 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 Apalachee 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 Apalachee 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 Apalachee 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apalachee. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
