“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.”
About: Growing up I was always surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, farm animals, birds, and fish. In my adult life, I raised my Jack Russell Terrier, Edy, from 2 months til 17 years old; she was quite literally my best friend. During that time, I also petsitted for my family and friends; from puppies/kittens of to elder dogs/cats across all breeds. I have also taken care of pets who need special care in the form of regular medication in the form of oral or injection. I’m currently raising my second fur-baby, a mini dachshund named Porcini. He is currently 1 year and 4 months old. I love animals of all kinds and sizes and I would be thrilled and honored to care for yours. I am a project manager who works fully from home. I currently live with roommates who have 1 dog and 3 cats and I have a dog of my own. I’m naturally an early riser so I start my day around 6 am with walks and feeding. My work day is pretty flexible and I am the person at work who schedules most of the meetings. I typically only have 1-3 meetings a day which makes it easy for me to step away to do pet care. With my current living situation, I will not be able to watch a pet in my home. I am a very tidy person who follows instructions really well. I wrote instructions for a living for 11 years 😂 I follow the golden rule and am deeply respectful. So I am happy to follow your instructions to the T and I will make sure it was like I was never in your home (except that the pets will be taken care of.)
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs (boxers) my entire life, and I have always loved them. I have cared for others’ dogs on multiple occasions, including walking and feeding. I spent a summer between college semesters working at a pet hotel where I took care of dogs of all sizes including cleaning up after them, feeding them and giving them water, playing with them, etc. I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to take care of pets during the open spaces of my week between, after, and before classes. I think pets respond best to patience and love, rather than aggressive behavior. Everyone has their own rules and routines for their dog, which I’m willing to follow.
“Paige was seriously the BEST! My two big dogs, especially the lab puppy, can be such a handful, but she kept him happy and constantly updated us with photos. Not only was I worry-free our entire trip, we got home super late at night to find that Paige had cleaned our whole house! It was seriously cleaner than it's ever been. And since we had to work early the next day, she measured and set out the dog food for us ahead of time, which was so helpful. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again. Thanks so much Paige!”
“Kortney does amazing, takes this job very seriously. Met every single need of our pets. Took great care of our stressed out cat and was even able to make friends with her. Gave her medication just right. Our pooch loves her and was wonderfully taken care of. Kortney's communication is spot on!!! She was able to schedule drop in visits the entire week before we left to give our cat a chance to know her. Took great care of our home and watered my outdoor plants for me. Our cat gets idiopathic cystitis when she is stressed so needless to say we were worried about going but this could not have been better and was the most relaxed vacation I have had in years!”
“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 :)”
“Lorri is always so patient with our very anxious and timid pup when we go away. She takes great care of our home and provides frequent updates for peace of mind. We will always check Lorri’s availability first!”
About: I cherish the time I’ve spent caring for cats and dogs and interacting with them has been fulfilling and a fantastic addition to my life. Caring for my dogs and cats, enjoying the love and attention you receive in return for your efforts is a wonderful addition to the human experience I really like taking my dogs for exercise, and I have a big imagination and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to play inside in inclement weather
“Bailey and her fiancé were very responsible and communicative! During the stay, Bailey had an allergic reaction to something in our house so couldn’t stay overnight, but she offered instead to complete frequent drop-ins and ultimately made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’m very grateful!”
About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10, my own included. I have been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I was 10. I am a graduate student so my hours during the day and night are largely flexible. I am usually completely free during the weekend. I can usually adapt to the routine and pet needs I live in a pet friendly apartment with outdoor yard space. I am very active and love to take dogs on the walks/runs and/or to nearby parks.
“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Jenna stayed at our home for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our pug Cookie and our two chinchillas. She is very conscientious and communicative with any questions. I felt such relief having her take care of things for us while we were away. Thank you Jenna!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. There was once a time where I was taking care of 4 dogs at the same time in my household. I’m a lover to all furry and non furry friends, your doggo will be in safe hands. I’m currently working a part time (of 3 years in caregiving) and full time job, hoping to quit the full time job to focus more on work life balance instead of just work. Once I get more pets to sit I will be able to say goodbye to the full time job I’ll be able to spend more time with your pets! I’m very respectful of others and their property. I do ask a lot of questions when getting started just so I don’t cross any boundaries. I do like to help to clean up as well so if there’s a mess that was or wasn’t made by your furry friend I’ll clean it right up.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Augerville
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Augerville is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $141 per night.

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.
<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 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 , 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.
