“Amanda was friendly, respectful of our home, took great care of our pets and was very communicative. She was also very flexible with our schedule. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone.”
“Katie was an all star sitter. She was so good with our dog Callie when we were gone. She sent us regular updates, lots of photos and videos of Callie having a great time, and she left our house spotless. Could not ask for a better sitter, we will definitely be asking her to sit again!”
About: I have been trusted with the responsibility of pet sitting since I was able to drive. Whether it is friends, family, neighbors, or friends of friends, I have always been someone my circle feels like they can depend on to take care of their homes & precious fur babies! I have experience with dog walking, house sitting, as well as drop by pet sitting. I have also been fortunate enough to have a dog of my own, Ginger, who is a 7 year old Bernadoodle! I am currently post grad working a part-time hybrid social media marketing position in town that only requires me to be on-site 2-3 days a week. Getting to spend time with animals during my down time would be a dream come true for me as I would feel great not only filling a need but getting to hangout with new fur friends while I do it! I will ensure your pet is consistently cared for and is provided with everything they may need. It is my goal to help them stay on their normal routine as much as possible while you are gone. They will be fed regularly, always have fresh water, and always be given the loving they deserve!
“Kelly took great care of my large dog and three cats in my home. She sent plenty of updates and left my house in great shape. When one of my cats snuck out, she went to great lengths to tempt him back home. I would book again!”
“Kylie did a great job house sitting and watching our dog while we were away for a week. She had great communication, kept us updated with pictures, and took him on walks. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed having her stay with him. We appreciated the peace of mind and would gladly book with Kylie again!”
“Michelle is incredible! She helped us immensely by caring for our pupper in home while we enjoyed a weekend away. Having recently moved, It was important for us to keep our pup less stressed in a familiar environment - Michelle totally understood and approached Finley with patience and KINDNESS!! Michelle sent the best photos of our little man and I knew he was in excellent hands. Michelle is an animal whisperer and we are just so glad to have found her 🥹 ty Michelle!!!!!”
“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”
“Lidia was wonderful with Roux! She was patient, reliable, and kept me updated. Roux was calm and happy when I got home. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book again.”
“Cory was very responsive and attentive to our dog and cat while we were away. He asked lots of good questions, had some good suggestions for our very energetic dogs and we felt confident that the animals were in good hands.”
“Kimberly is great! She keeps in touch and sends awesome pics of my Dog, so I always felt connected to her! She was very loving and caring towards my dog and goes the extra mile! I have booked her several times!”
“absolutely the best! she is so caring and loving, and took excellent care of our little buddy while we were away. always sent texts and cute pictures of playing, walks, and everything. constant communication was a plus, and helped keep our minds at ease. A+++ doggie friend and caretaker :-)”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.
“Sounds like our dog SugarBear and Mark had a nice time while we were away. Playtime, walks and hanging out. Mark did some brushing out of SugarBear’s coat, which was a big help! Everything went smoothly and house was in perfect order when we returned.”
“Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)”
About: I have been a pet owner for many years of both cats and dogs. I have raised them from puppy/kittens to adults. I also was a personal assistant and part of the responsibilities was feeding and taking care of the pet's needs. I haven't had a career focused on pet care but I love animals and have had them in my life all the time. I work full time as a social worker, but I can walk pets or feed them during the week after 5pm and I have weekends free for pet care. I do not offer boarding but I am a very responsible person and will follow all instructions you have to ensure your pet is properly taken care of.
“Zoey is fantastic! She was great with our dogs as evidenced by the regular text and picture updates she sends. She was also a lifesaver by being flexible and extending her pet care services when our travel plans home fell apart and got significantly delayed. 10/10 ⭐️ and would definitely recommend Zoey!”
“Outstanding communication! Kortney not only took excellent care of my dogs, but she also handled some unforeseen circumstances at the house ( water seeping in the basement, a power flicker). We'll definitely use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Augerville is $50

Zoey did an excellent job at taking care of our 2 chi’s! They are always unsure of new people but made right up with her and were happy as can be when we got home! She sent us daily updates and pictures and we were able to enjoy our 2 nights away knowing everything was well taken care of and that the pups were happy! Even our old cat loved her! Highly recommend Zoey and we will definitely be asking her again in the future!
I received regular pictures while I was gone and regular updates. Queenie seems to have had a wonderful time although there’s nothing quite like having her mommy home! Amy is outstanding at communication and as a person I just adore her. She’s wonderful with the dog.
Ashley did an amazing job! I don’t have easy dogs, one is reactive and the other is very skittish. The skittish one warmed up to her by end of day 1 and my reactive dog had no issues at all warming up to her. She was very good about sending updates and pictures. Highly recommend!! I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust to watch my pups when I need to leave town.
Samantha was so great taking care of my dog, Figgy. She was responsive to messages and sent updates with pictures. Samantha was super patient with me, as it was my first time booking a sitter, and didn’t even flinch at his complicated feeding routine or high energy.
Ava was a wonderful house sitter for my dog Whimzy. She sent me photos and updates and Whimzy looked very happy and well cared for. My house was sparkling and clean upon return. Super happy with her stay and would 100 have her sit again - hopefully soon. Highly recommend!
Katie was an all star sitter. She was so good with our dog Callie when we were gone. She sent us regular updates, lots of photos and videos of Callie having a great time, and she left our house spotless. Could not ask for a better sitter, we will definitely be asking her to sit again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Augerville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Augerville. 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 Augerville 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 Augerville 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 Augerville 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 Augerville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
