“Stephanie did a great job with Bella! Bella was recently spayed and needed extra care. Stephanie was very responsive, she sent texts and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 recommend!”
“Jasmin was an absolute dream from start to finish! She was extremely prompt, communicative, and professional. She absolutely spoiled our two dogs and kept me updated with photos and videos. She made leaving our dogs while we were out of town so stress free and easy.”
“Lilly was an amazing pet sitter! We went out of town for almost 3 weeks and not only did she love all of our pets as her own but maintained the household while we were gone. She texted often, sent pictures, and kept me informed on things around the house. When we came home after a full day of travel, the carpets were vacuumed, the bedding was washed and she made and the house feel so calm and inviting for us. We were able to just head straight to bed because she had all of the pets and house ready for our arrival. The thought and time she put into that was just amazing. She’s a rarity and we are so thankful that we found her! We highly recommend her!”
“Desiree was so great! She took care of our pups like they were her own and we came home to the happiest boys! She even took one of them to the vet and did great with giving his meds! Definitely would recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog walker and dedicated animal lover with a background volunteering at the Atlanta Humane Society. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and know how to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. I have a full time job that is 8:30am- 5pm , but I am free after work and on the weekends to care for your pet! I will make sure your pet is well cared for with plenty of walks, food, and water! At the animal shelter, I was trained on caring for animals.
“I’m so glad I found Sonali ! My dog Snickers can be a handful at times but she handled him with the utmost care and professionalism. One of the things that impressed me the most was how diligently Sonali followed my instructions. I provided a detailed list of Snickers' daily routines and dietary preferences. To my delight, every single instruction was followed to the letter. Snickers was happy and healthy throughout my time away, which put my mind at ease. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only trustworthy but also genuinely cares for your pet's well-being, look no further.”
“Katie is great. I needed to extend my trip and she was able to help out. My apartment was as clean as a left it and my cat was super chill when I returned. I recommend Katie as an in-house cat sitter”
“Emily did a terrific job house-sitting our older, special needs dog (and our cat)! This was our 1st time using Rover, made necessary when our family friend/dogsitter suffered a last-minute emergency. Emily stepped in perfectly, visiting us before our departure and getting down all the special details of our pets' routine quickly. She was very responsive throughout our 4-day trip, sending photos and updates. Our girls did well under her good care, and our home was in great condition too. Thanks, Emily - we look forward to seeing you again!”
“I cannot overstate just how fortunate we got with connecting with Bennett. Had to find someone for a VERY last minute weekend stay for our small dog and two kitties. He was very responsive from the very beginning. Accommodated us by coming for a meet and greet even though it was short notice and stayed in constant contact with updates and pictures. Anyone who’s been in this situation will know exactly how much appreciation I have for being able to entrust my babies to someone like Bennett. I’m already booking him for another stay and wholeheartedly recommend him to watch yours!”
“Verneisha was SO amazing with our dog & cat. She sent photos every day, and our pets looked really actually happy and comfortable with her. We have a tricky indoor/outdoor cat, and Verneisha did an excellent job with her. She also left our house very clean. Very much recommend Verneisha and will book again!!”
“I’d give Anthony more stars if I could! He took great care of my two dogs while I was away. One of whom is older, ornery guy, and not always easy to handle. He was endlessly patient and gentle with both of them, making sure they were comfortable and happy the whole time. He kept me updated with lots of great pictures and texts which really helped put my mind at ease. Anthony is great guy and I felt liked he treated my pets as though they were his own. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
“She was great with my 2 older dogs, they loved her. Very sweet girl, left my home the way I left it. Very clean. Followed all instructions. Thank you, will definitely book again in the future.”
“Andrea took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town! We really appreciated the daily pictures and updates. And we were so happy to come home to a houseful of happy pets! Thanks so much, Andrea!”
“Ayshah stayed in our home to watch our two Frenchies. One was a puppy so he needed more care, time, patience and attention during our 3 night absence. She sent a daily picture.”
“Melanie took care of our puppy and two cats like they were her own! She clearly loved on them and played with them seemingly every moment she was here. Thank you!!”
“Jonathan was great to work with! He took perfect care of my dog, Mac. And he shared a lot of pics so I saw they were having a good time together! Jonathan was super responsive and was able to help out more last minute. I would recommend booking with Jonathan to anyone!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Atlanta
Priya was amazing staying with our Lucille Ball. Lucille took right to her and Priya made her feel safe and well cared for. Also, Priya has great attention to detail and took great care of our home watering plants, picking up mail, etc. Our communication with Priya while we were away was very good! We highly recommend her professional services and look forward to using her again.
Communication was fantastic from start to finish. Sudesna sent daily updates with photos, kept our dogs’ routine right on track, and handled our elder dog's medication routine without any issues. We came home to calm, happy dogs and true peace of mind. We will definitely rebook
Talk about dedication. We were expected to have the effects of a hurricane hit the weekend we were out of town, but Elijah told us not to worry they would have it handled. We were so grateful and when we came home all the animals were as happy as they could be!! Thank you, Elijah!
Bliss was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we left until the moment we got back home, I felt super assured and comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands. We appreciated the daily check-ins/photos and how pristine the house was once we did arrive home. We'll definitely be using her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Atlanta is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,633 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atlanta. 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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Atlanta. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
