About: I’ve been pet sitting since middle school! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I have 2 years of veterinary experience and love all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable with rabbits, hamsters, you name it! I have experience caring for senior dogs: giving medication, shots, expressing bladders, and changing diapers. If you have any other questions on what I’m comfortable with, just message me! :) I’m currently a full time physical therapy student at AU. For so long I was stuck between animal and human medicine. This is my way of being able to indulge and care for animals while still being in school! M, T, Th I’m in class from 8-4, W, F from 8-12. I can swing by in the mornings before classes start in the afternoons/evenings too! I treat clients homes like my own. I make sure to respect all boundaries and rules that have been laid down. It’s scary to allow a stranger into your home, so I try to make it as easy as possible by promising respect and honesty. I also have dogs of my own, so if you want your dog(s) to have a play date, they have a friend waiting for them! :)
“Mairen was very kind and wonderful to our cats - she was timely and attentive and they were in great spirits when we returned from our trip. Looking forward to working with Mairen again!”
“We were very impressed with Emily knowledge of animals and especially for our fur babies. She took such good care of them and I love that she was able to connect with them right off the bat. She sent pictures everytime. Thank you Emily for such great care!!! 😊😊😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds since i was 5 years old. I have 2 little dogs, very small corgi and a older maltipoo. I also have a dog caretaking business that includes aromatherapy, relaxation, and very attentive love and affection/ and lots of outdoor plays. Your fur baby will be very happy! Loved! And taken care of! I work remote as an artist so i will be able to give your dog ALLL the love and rubs! If your furry baby would like to be left alone, that’s also okay! I have a fenced backyard and a 4 bedroom very spacious house. My two dogs love to go on walks and play in the backyard- so your baby will be joining or whatever they need they will get!
“Nicole did a wonderful job of watching our girls and making sure we were updated every day, and with plenty of pictures. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter. Thank you for taking care of them for us!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and creating a calm, safe environment. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail so your pets feel secure and you feel confident while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my everyday routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care as my own, creating a calm, secure environment for your pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines to home preferences—and make sure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly secured. I’m attentive, dependable, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets and home are in good hands.
About: I just currently got my first puppy, he is a lab husky mix and is my entire heart! However before him I have had many family and friend dogs that I treated as my own. I have experience training a puppy now, and it’s been a whirlwind but wouldn’t trade it for the world! I would always treat your fur baby as my own! Due to my full time job I am only available on the weekends. I can do Fridays after 5:30pm, and all day Saturdays and Sundays! I would spend quality time with your pup and do feeding and outside play time! For their walks the time/distance is all up to you and what your pup is comfortable with. I am very flexible and know that every dog is different :)
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.
About: I’ve been dog sitting & cat sitting since I was 17 and have loved it since! I have 1 senior dog, and 2 cats that I couldn’t live without! I’ve been pet-sitting since high school, but have been using it as a side hobby since I’m in college studying social work! I’ve dog sat for puppies-senior dogs, and cats of all ages,I am able to administer medications, and love outside walks/play! I am in school full time, but have a reliable schedule & transportation. Monday/Wednesday/Fridays I am available anytime after 1 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available between 8 AM-11 AM and anytime after 3 PM. I have a fenced backyard but I know many great walking places in the city if applicable. I love playing and enrichment time for all animals.
About: I have lots of pet care experience with puppies, older dogs, and cats. I love getting to meet new animals while helping owners in the extensive responsibilities it takes to own a pet. I am currently working part time and have flexible availability to care for your animal! I have extra time on my hands and enjoy spending it with animals. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park right outside. I also have one Boston Terrier that serves as a great play mate but am more than happy to keep pets separate if you prefer.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Augusta is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 501 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Augusta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Augusta. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
