“James is a fabulous pet and house sitter! He took in the mail, watered some new plants and even used his dog training skills to teach our ol’ man Blue some new manners while out on walks. It’s also helpful that James lives 3 min away from us in Grant Park. We will definitely use James again!”
“Michelle was so wonderful with our doggo Xander. We really appreciated her daily updates and photos.

We would definitely hire Michelle again. Thank you!”

Maya was incredible! She went above and beyond taking care of my puppy, Thelma, as she is house training. She also was so considerate and tidy in my home, and even went as far as washing the sheets on the bed and her towel. 10/10 sitter. She also took so many cute pictures and daily updates. Thank you Maya!
Hayley watched both my pups for a week while we were traveling and they loved her! Poppy can be scared of strangers, but she warmed to Hayley immediately! She sent daily updates and communicated well the entire time. They were happy and healthy when we got home! Would recommend Hayley for your doggy care needs!
This was our first time having someone stay in our house to watch our dogs, and Alice completely put us at ease. Both of our dogs are seniors and one requires basically a whole pharmacy’s worth of medications and eye drops. Not only did Alice flawlessly manage the medication regimen, she also found an easier way to encourage our dog to take the meds! Alice is an excellent communicator. We received plenty of timely updates and pictures, which reassured us of their wellbeing while we were away. Our dogs can be enigmatic but Alice is a total pro. We came back to very happy dogs and a very clean house. Cannot recommend her enough!
James was simply awesome. Great communicator and great with my older pup. She was so calm when I got home, I can tell she got plenty of time on walks and attention in between from someone who knows how to work with dogs very well. He stayed at my place and left it spotless too. Highly recommend!
This was the first time I used Rover.com and I will use your company again and hopefully Michael S. will be available when I go out of town to stay with my dog again. After selecting Michael for his very favorable reviews we had a meet and greet at the house so he could meet me and my dog and to find out anything special that he needed to know to do his job the best. Each day I was gone he sent me regular updates and pictures to let me know how things were going, all well of course.
Kendra is responsible, trustworthy, and an awesome communicator. She watched my cat & dog for a week, took amazing care of them, sent me daily updates, and remembered to water my plants as well. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. This is the easiest 5 star review to write.
This is Riley's second time house sitting my senior dog. It was a longer trip this time, just over a week. Just like the first time, Riley did a fantastic job. She took excellent care of my house, and my dog was super relaxed when I got home which means she also took great care of her. It's so nice to find a sitter that you can trust and not have to worry about your pet while you're gone ❤️
Rosemary gives our Royal hounds the Royal treatment. We have one who is terribly scared when thunderstorms roll through and she takes extra steps to make him feel as safe and as comfortable as possible. Senior dogs can require extra patience. Rosemary gets that and our senior greyhounds love her for it.
I had an amazing experience with Eva! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs. Not only did she make sure they were active, happy, and well cared for, but she also took the time to pick up special medication and food, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that made it clear my pups were in great hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like their own. I came home to two happy, healthy pups, and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Eva and will absolutely be booking with her again!

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.
