“Awesome as usual, my anxious pup has really warmed up to Devan. His updates are comical and fun, I have the most confidence that Joj is in good hands while I'm away. Definitely will be a regular”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job house-sitting and taking care of our elderly cat, Cinnamon, while we were away. She was quick to respond during the scheduling process, which made everything straightforward and stress-free. She cared for Cinnamon with attention and kindness, ensuring she was comfortable throughout. Stephanie also kept us updated with regular check-ins, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. We returned to a clean home and a content cat, which we greatly appreciated. Stephanie was reliable and accommodating, and we would happily work with her again in the future.”
“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”
“Gracie liked Carol right away when we met her, but she does get nervous when her routine changes, so it took a little while for Gracie to warm up while we were away. I *really* appreciated Carol's honest updates during that time. She sent updates with pictures at least once a day, so we could see how Gracie was doing. By the final update on Day 3, Gracie was all smiles. I really appreciated Carol's patience with Gracie and responsiveness with us. It definitely helped put my mind at ease while I was traveling.”
“Tevin took great care of our home and our furbabies! He sent photos and videos every day, which is always appreciated. Our pup Hannah got to go on plenty of walks while we were away. He cleaned the house and bathrooms before our return and left everything in great condition. We never had to wait more than a few moments for replies back to our communications. Thank you, Tevin!”
“Alex watched our pups over the weekend, and was fantastic. It was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous before booking. However, after meeting Alex and Robert, and especially after having them watch over the dogs, we’d be happy to recommend them. The dogs loved Alex and seemed to have a great time, she gave us updates on the dogs, and the overall service gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our weekend getaway instead of worrying about the dogs :)”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always adored pets growing up and both of my parents are certified veterinarians so I pretty much grew up around animals my entire life! I’m currently a college student doing online classes so I am at home majority of the time taking care of my own personal pets day to day I monitor them really the entire time with them by my side, but I also have two veterinarians with me in my household every day
“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”
“This was my second time using Nathan to watch my pup Addison. She was so excited to see him! Nathan was communicative and left our apartment clean. I would definitely book him again.”
“Vanna was exceptional with keeping our house safe, clean and our dog Mattie taken care of. She took Mattie on lots of walks, provided great communication and updates and let us feel at peace on vacation.”
“Inaya did a wonderful job staying with my cats. She was extremely professional and took great care of my pets while she stayed at my house. I am looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Tycen was great! She took excellent care of our house and our Murph. She followed the medication instructions easily and even took Murph on an adventure- which isn’t always the easiest. So many thanks!!”
“Anthony provided incredible service from the initial meet and greet all through the night of our first booking. Our little guy has severe separation anxiety when he has to be away from me, but he instantly felt comfortable with Anthony as soon as they met. It was like he found a new best friend. Anthony provided frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the night and our pup was so happy to be home at the end of the night instead of boarding like normal. I couldn’t recommend Anthony more. We are looking forward to many more nights of fun videos and photos.”
“Alexis did a wonderful job looking after my cat. Alexis stayed for overnight visits because I have a cat with separation anxiety. It was a zero drama weekend thanks to Alexis, who kept me well updated and my kitty happy.”
“Nicole is amazing! She stayed with our two dogs while we were out of town for a week, she was so communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our senior dogs got all the special attention they need. Would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone!”
“Alana was amazing! We have two older dogs that can sometimes take a little while to warm up to people, but our dogs took to her rather quickly. She gave us frequent and detailed updates. One of our pups has some separation anxiety and can refuse to eat when we are gone. She let us know he was doing ok and even sent us pictures of him eating on a regular basis. As a side note, we also had a very unfortunate roof leak right before we left. Alana was very accommodating when we needed to have a contractor come by and assess the issue. I cannot recommend Alana enough. We will definitely be using her again to watch our pups.”
“Emily took amazing care of my energetic 2 year old pup. She was attentive to learning his routine and sent pictures throughout our trip so we were never in doubt our boy was in good hands! Our house was left in perfect condition upon our return and we will definitely work with Emily again in the future.”

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 , 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.
