“Lisa was great with our 2 pups! She was also great at feeding our crested gecko! House was nice and tidy when we got back home :) we would love to use Lisa again to pet and house sit for us in the future!”
“I will be rebooking with Mary for our dogs! She was prompt and reliable and quick to communicate. She also went above and beyond when my dog needed a scheduled vet appointment that was needed weeks after we made the booking. I am so grateful that she could accommodate my dog's need and was willing to be her escort to the doctor. Thank you so much! Sophie and Penny will see you soon!”
“Mikiyah was great. She was very attentive to my pups. My boxer is usually very anxious when I leave so much so that he won’t eat, but we did not have that problem at all while he was with Mikiyah. My Frenchie got lots of cuddle time. Mikiyah sent lots of pictures and updates and I would 100% book her again.”
“Hannah was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our home! This was our first time using Rover & she made us feel very confident in leaving our dogs & home for the weekend. Our girls were very well taken care of & will definitely use Hannah in the future!”
About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime and I especially love dogs! My favorite thing to do in the evening after taking a walk is to cuddle with a sweet puppy, a book (or Stardew Valley) and a hot tea. In my free time I like to paint and crochet, ask me about my headscarves! I currently work part time as a secretary so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet as well as short turn around for your last minute trips. I love to take walks so I can provide any exercise needed. I have cared for shy, nervous and high energy pups. I also have experience with giving dogs medication and caring for elderly dogs. I am comfortable with multiple dog homes and I'm very flexible to your pups particular needs.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at 48 and retired, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.
“Grace cared for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for a long weekend. During our meet and greet, Grace loved on our dogs and we were confident she would do a great job caring for them. We came back to an orderly house and happy animals!”
About: I love caring for my friends' pets when they're away for the weekend! I'm equally a dog and cat person and have experience looking after both. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention while you're away! I have a really flexible schedule on the weekends, so I'm happy to work around your plans! I also enjoy getting some movement in the morning, so if your pup loves an early adventure, I'm more than happy to take them along. I can easily crate your animal if needed. I do not have a backyard area or balcony. Animals are free to roam around wherever they please.
About: I’m a proud pet owner of cats and dogs alike for over 10 years. I’ve been pet sitting for other people for over 5 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind through dependable, attentive care. I’m a student at Augusta University, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m in the Augusta area year-round and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute bookings. I work hard to be dependable, responsive, and flexible so your pet can stay on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or weekend pet sitting, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away, and I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in safe, caring hands.
“Heather was amazing with my pets! She sent me updated photos everyday. I have a special needs pup and she was completely comfortable and my pup loved her. Will be using Heather every time in the future if we need pet care.”
“Jennifer is an excellent care provider. She is professional, punctual, responsible and trustworthy. My dog Josie immediately loved her. Would highly recommend Jennifer for dog sitting/housesitting.”
About: I grow up in the country with goats, ducks, birds, cats and dogs. Love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart. I became a pet parent in my early 20s with a Chihuahua and a Maltese and later on when we started our family we adopted a 2 years old retriever and 16 years later he is still with us. Dexter is old but the best companion we could had ever been blessed with. Speedy and Keely are not longer with me. We also have a tabby cat named Milo. I am a mom of three and also a dog collar maker. I have flexibility during the day to run errands and work at my own pace with the exception of getting the kids to and from school. I would love to find a few customers to supplement my income and I feel this would be a great way to do it. I am able to walk your dog when need it or also care for your cat's needs at your home. I have a senior dog so at the moment to keep my old man stress free I will not be offering boarding.
About: My experience caring for animals spans my entire life! Growing up we always had a full house of furry creatures from dogs to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, and even a turtle at one point! I learned from a young age to take care of animals and view them as part of the family. My sister and I fostered dogs in high school and that experience trained me to pay attention to each animals distinct personality and needs. Just like people, animals have emotions and temperaments and need to be understood as individuals. I have loved and cared for pets of every shape and size and from every walk of life — from stray puppies and kittens to elderly cats and dogs who need special attention. I work part-time and have flexibility to work with you and your furry friends specific needs. Whether you are looking for a simple dog walk or need someone to be in your home for an extended period of time caring for your pets and space, you can count on me to put your mind at ease. If your pets do not need overnight care, I offer drop in visits. This is ideal for cats and for dogs who do not need someone to sleepover. For pets who need overnight care or if you want the security of someone spending the night in your home, I offer house sitting services. In my home your pet will enjoy a spacious, shady and grassy fenced in back yard. Walks around my neighborhood are a joy with tons of options of parks and trails to explore. I have two happy dogs and cats to add to your pets circle of friends! At your place your pets will enjoy being in the comfort of their own space when we’re not on a stroll in your neighborhood or playing fetch (or sunbathing if that’s what your pet enjoys!) outdoors.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Augusta is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Augusta
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience! She was absolutely phenomenal with all of my pets and treated them like they were her own. She showered them with love, attention, and treats, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She even walked my dog in the rain while holding an umbrella over her! If that isn’t exceptional care, I don’t know what is! Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay. I received frequent updates and tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such loving hands. I genuinely think my animals might like her more than they like me now! I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about animals, and I would trust her with mine again in a heartbeat. I highly, highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Augusta is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Augusta 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 Augusta 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 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!
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.
