About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats and fish since I was a little. I got to pet sit for my friend once and I knew from then I loved animals even more. I finally got my own and I realized if I loved doing this so much, I should just do it as a job so the most important thing I can do for someone else’s animal is give them love, care and attention they need. I work a part-time job like two days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit and hang out with cute cats and dogs!! I have two cats who are inside pets, I play with them all the time, and I have them on a schedule. It feels easier to have them in a routine.
“Mary was absolutely amazing! She made sure to make our dog feel so comfortable and loved. She always made sure to do everything we requested so that nothing in our dog’s routine would be different. Will be rebooking in the future!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 13. Ive taken care of them for friends,Neighbors and family. Sometimes 7dogs in one sitting and was relied upon to feed/ water and check up on them. I'm currently not working, so ill have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Im available Monday- Friday preferably 9:30am - 5pm. If im needed later than that it can be negotiated to help you and your pet. I have 2 kittens at home so I have plenty of energy to play with your animals. When I sat for others id play, feed and if requested walk their animals.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
About: I've taken care of a multitude of dogs, big and small, since I was a little girl. I have always loved every kind of animal and love to clean and make sure things are taken care of. I am currently working part time as an administrative assistant at Topgolf, but communication is key! As long as I am given 1-2 weeks advance notice I can make myself available for you. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am an expert at putting cats in carriers. I read animal body language very well and know when to step in and how to meet their exact needs.
About: My background sets me apart because I have a reliable and disciplined work ethic from my time in the National Guard, as well as a patient, caring approach to animals, dogs, cats, fish, and small animals. I own two chinchillas! I work part-time as a a Specialist at Apple and a Beauty Advisor at Sephora and am a veteran of the Georgia Army National Guard. I use Rover as a flexible way to earn extra income while saving for travel and future goals, including moving to New York City and eventually buying a home in Augusta. My schedule allows me to stay adaptable, so I’m able to provide reliable, consistent care and be available when needed for pets. I believe pets thrive best when they stay in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer to care for them in their homes. I follow the pet’s routine closely to build trust and maintain a sense of familiarity, helping reduce stress and anxiety. I also ensure to follow any specific instructions from pet parents to ensure the pet’s well-being and comfort. I would rather pet sit your pet at home than board somewhere they do not know. 🐾

Usually I work for 3 hours in the afternoon on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

“I was very nervous leaving my boys overnight without anyone staying overnight. However Emilee did an amazing job. She came and did multiple visits on my boys while I was gone, always on time, communicated great and always sent me pictures. I didn’t worry at all while I was away thanks to Emilee. I will definitely be reaching out again to schedule with her. She was perfect and my boys were happy and healthy when I came home!”
“Ailey is heaven sent!!! This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience so wonderful. She is the kindest soul and truly cares for your fur babies. We did a meet and greet before hand which went great, I then decided to use her services for a week while out of town. She did two drop ins everyday and provided updates along the way. When I tell you this is the pet sitter for you I mean it!!! I can’t thank her enough for the care she provided while I was gone.”

Highly recommend!!! Meaghan not only accepted a pet sit for me on short notice but was a great communicator, kind and kept us informed. She was also super punctual and thoughtful about the meds she was giving and what our dogs needed. I had great peace of mind knowing she was caring for our babies while we were out of town.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Augusta 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
