“Desiree was absolutely fabulous! We had her stay with our 3 pets for a week 2 cats & a dog. She was communicative and sent plenty of photos and daily updates. We are always a bit nervous especially since our dog has a few quirks but everything went so smoothly. We returned home to find the babies safe and happy. Definitely recommend Desiree and we will be using her in the future!”

“Carol has house sat and watched our pups a few times now and we keep coming back because she is so communicative and responsive, and always leaves the house as good or better than we left it. We have some high maintenance pups with a lot of medications, and she handles it all with aplomb. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carol to anyone!”
“Kay was fantastic. She was punctual and asked a lot of questions about my dog's routines, which makes me feel better as she is clearly paying attention and wants to do what's best for each dog she watches.

Milleigh was fantastic! She made our very anxious pup feel at ease, and even got him to eat pretty regularly while we were away, which is an impressive feat. She provided many updates with lots of pictures (mostly showing Frank cuddling up with her— I’ve never seen him take to a stranger that quickly), and our house was clean and tidy when we returned. We never doubted whether our pup was in good hands the whole time we were away.
Devan is outstanding! Did housesitting for us and was meticulous with our dogs. We have two of them and one is a very high strung a Belgian Malinois, a very driven dog that requires very specific attention and instructions. Devan works hard at making sure he’s doing all that is asked and more. Devan treats our dogs and our home with care. We can travel without worry. We recommend him anytime.
Our anxious little doggo was in such good hands with Carol. She administered medicine and comforted him during a storm. He got lots of walks and a trip to his favorite restaurant. She left the house just as she found it and kept us updated throughout our trip. 10/10 will book her again.
Sahriya is our go to and she should be yours too! She is flexible and reliable. With her vet tech experience and expertise, you feel even more comfortable and confident in leaving your fur babies with her. For example, she even cut my roommates’ puppy’s nails (with approval) because she told us she noticed they were pretty long. Who else can do that? She watches my particular senior yorkie and my roommates rowdy 3 month old puppy, so her range speaks for itself. Thank you Sahriya!
I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Page took wonderful care of Zeke, Luna, and Ro, and it was obvious all three adored her. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. The house was spotless when we got home, honestly maybe cleaner than when she arrived! Beyond being reliable and caring, she's just a genuinely lovely person! I feel like I made a new friend. I’ll definitely be booking her again! I'd recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
Javay watched my dog, Henry, for a few days while I was out of town and did a fantastic job! She offered to do a meet and greet before we booked which I really appreciated! She was very communicative the entire time. She was also very respectful of our space and probably left it cleaner than I left it. When my flight got delayed and I couldn’t make it back for an extra day, Javay was flexible enough to stay an additional night, which was a life saver. Thank you Javay!
AK was incredible!! She had so much patience with my puppy Thelma, even through her menacing potty and teething training. She left my house spotless and even did the laundry. She provided plenty of photos and updates and made me feel at ease during my long work trip. Thank you!!!
Alice was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We had her stay at our house with our dog for 12 days while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On the day we left, we had an unexpected issue with our house just an hour before we needed to leave for the airport, and Alice handled it without hesitation. She was so helpful and dependable when we really needed it. When we got home, the house was absolutely spotless, and her end-of-stay recap was incredibly detailed and thoughtful. It was clear that she took great care of both our home and our dog the entire time. We would 100% recommend Alice to anyone looking for a dog or house sitter. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely be using her again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
