Andrea was fantastic with Ellie! She took really good care of her for three days and nights and was a great communicator throughout the entire stay. She proactively kept me updated on how Ellie was doing, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Ellie was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Andrea and wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Ellie again!
Anna Lisa was great to work with! She was responsive, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel confident that our kitten was in great hands while we were away. She gave him lots of attention and care, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. She also kept our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Anna Lisa and would be happy to have her care for our cat again!
Sahriya is our go to sitter and we’re so grateful to have her! She has open, honest communication and fit us into her schedule when we had to do a last minute request due to work commitments. I can also tell my princess loves to be around her and feels at ease when she’s watching her while we’re at work!
James house sat and took care of our three senior pets for a week in August 2026. Our cat is 20 years old, while our dogs are 17 and 10+ years old respectively. Their ages require an extra level of care which James handled well. Thanks for all of your help, James!
Isabella is the best! She’s one of our dog’s most favorite humans, and we always know Mocha is in good hands when she’s with her - from giving her daily meds to understanding what Mocha needs when she’s nervous and overstimulated, Isabella is the best. Will definitely book her again!
Anna Sophie is such a lovely dog sitter. From the moment I met her I knew my pup was going to be in good hands. She is such a caring individual and picks up on little cues. She is very attentive and respectful of my expectations. I truly felt comfortable knowing she was caring for my dog the same way I would care for him. She kept me updated with pictures and little texts about the day which I loved. Beyond caring for my dog, I was impressed with how she kept up with my home while I was gone. She will definitely be a regular for us!
If I could give Valerie 100 stars, I would!!! I recently moved to Atlanta with my Pit Mix, Allen, and I was worried about finding the right person to watch him while I’m away because we are used to my family and friends watching him in Virginia. As soon as we had our meet & greet with Valerie, all worries went away. Valerie is experienced, kind, trustworthy, and gives the best “pupdates” while watching your pet. I can’t thank her enough for taking care of my boy!!!
Milleigh was such a wonderful sitter; she took great care of our anxious pup and made it so much easier for us to be out of town. She sends lots of updates, and she made sure that Memphis got all of her mental and physical needs met. Thank you again, Milleigh!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Atlanta on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,756 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 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 Atlanta. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
