“Liz is amazing! She always makes sure my cat has everything she needs while I’m out of town. I never have to worry or stress when I know she’s going to be around. 10/10 will use her every time!”
“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”
“Haley continues to be a great sitter for my pugs and they love having her come spend time with her. I think my boy, Stewie likes her feeding him better than me. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone pet owner!!!”
“Melissa is great! Super reliable and a good communicator. We were new to the area and so glad we found Melissa to take care of our pets & home soon after we moved in & had to go on a trip.”
“Allison is a great sitter for our cat, Bear. She always communicates with us readily, and allows us to leave Bear for a few days at a time without any concerns or worries. She’s a lovely person and you can tell she deeply cares about the animals she’s entrusted with. Would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristen! We have very detailed instructions for our pets and home, and she followed everything perfectly. She brought in our mail and packages daily, kept an eye on the house, and even went above and beyond during multiple power outages by resetting the GFI for us THREE different times, she literally saved our refrigerator and all of the food inside from spoiling while we were away. Most importantly, our cats absolutely adore her, which says everything. ❤️ Knowing our pets and home were in such caring, capable hands gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. This was not our first time using her, and it definitely won’t be our last. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Valerie was so great! When I couldn't get back to my dog because of a delay while I was out of town, she answered my request immediately and was able to take him for a walk within the hour.”
“Raelyn did a wonderful job watching our cat, Soleil! The day before we left for vacation, we had to take him to the vet because he seemed to be having some kidney issues. This made me extra nervous to leave him, but I was put at ease with all the pictures and updates Raelyn provided. Raelyn’s communication and love for animals (especially cats) is top notch and we will definitely be booking her again.”
“Kristen does a great job with Avery! She’s very easy to communicate with and makes sure my pup is taken care of! She is also flexible around her schedule. Definitely recommend and would use again!”
“Kacey took excellent care of my two cats when I was gone and went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter. I would definitely hire again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Augusta is $20

Can’t say enough how much I appreciate Viviane! She is trustworthy, reliable and flexible. I know my kiddos are in great hands when Viv is here. She is great at communicating with me while I am gone and truly goes above and beyond providing excellent help and service while I’m away from home. Thank you so much, Viviane!
We enjoyed meeting Nakasha at our scheduled meet and greet session. Nakasha did a great job of taking care of our fur baby while my husband and I were out of town. We appreciated the pictures and communication she provided us. We highly recommend Nakasha and hope to have her take care of our cat, Minnie the next time we go out of town.
Brelynn is awesome 🤩. This was my first time actually going completely with a booking process through Rover . I must say, I am so glad I chose Brelynn. She was very flexible and dependable . I received an update daily as well as pictures. She is such a blessing and my fur babies love her . I will definitely use her again in the future . Thank you again Brelynn.
Alyssa was absolutely awesome. Due to timing we weren’t able to have her meet our Dog ahead of time but she was so great at communicating that it felt like we had. So super nice and I can tell our boy was very well taken care of. Alyssa was great and I wouldn’t think twice about booking her again. Amazing. Thank you
Eleanor was absolutely awesome taking care of our Steve while we were out of town for the week. The updates and photos were great and we could tell that our pup was getting the best care. Eleanor is no doubt at the top of our list. I highly recommend their care.
Peyton has been watching after our dog, Meadow, on various occasions for about a year or so now. She is reliable, communicative, and very pleasant to talk to. She loves your pet almost as much as you do! She is also a lifesaver. My wife and I were trapped in an airport due to a large weather system affecting travel on the east half of the U.S. recently. We were not sure if we could get home and we're nearly out of options for someone to let our elder dog out. Peyton was willing to go out of her way, with less than 2 hours notice, to let our sweet girl out. And she was willing to come back at 7 the next morning, only 7.5 hours after coming the first time, to feed and let her out again. Thankfully, it didn't come to that, but her willingness to help in a pinch will not be forgotten. If you need a dog sitter who will love your pet like you do and go the extra mile, cannot recommend Peyton highly enough. Thank you for being amazing, Peyton!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Debbie provided for my Peter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she cared about animals. Debbie kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes about my dog’s day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Debbie is also very communicative and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone.
Asked Hope to do a drop in visit with our dog while we were gone for an afternoon/ evening. She confirmed visit then asked follow up questions to ensure she knew exactly what we wanted her to do, communicated with us during the visit, and sent pics afterwards. She is very professional and caring. We hope to have her help with our dog again soon!

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 $11 and $28 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 2,608 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
