“We've used Kyelene as our sitter numerous times now. She's always punctual and a great communicator. Our pup absolutely loves her! We really appreciate her attention to detail and that we never need to worry when our pup is in her care.”
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, I also know how stressful it is trying to find someone you trust to watch your fur babies. Have you wanted to get away for the weekend, or planning a vacation but don't want to coordinate with multiple people to take care of your dog (s)? That's where I come in. Take the trip! Your search for a loving, reliable person is over. I will be your dog sitter. I also have access to McConnell AFB. I give extra cuddles and treat them like my own. I have lost both of my dogs, and I am not ready to get another one quite yet. I am available for stays in your home, potty breaks, and walking. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! After 20 years in corporate america, I decided to take a break from the office scene. I am currently available any time to dog/house sit. I am also available for potty breaks and walks. Your pet is my focus: whether it is specific feeding times or medications, I will follow your instructions to ensure your baby is taken care of.
“Mary was awesome!! This was my first time ever using this app or anything like this to watch my dogs. The experience was so great that this is the only way I will do it going forward and it will be Mary that I use. I loved the fact that she would send me pics so I could see them having fun! Thank you Mary you did an awesome job!!!”
“Alyx was absolutely fantastic with our pets! On top of taking care of our indoor pets, she kept an eye out for our outdoor animals as well, which was such a peace of mind for us while traveling. She made sure to send photos and keep us updated with anything going on. Highly, highly recommend seeing if she is a good fit for your family! We will absolutely be using her the next time we go out of town!”
About: I’ve been around almost every kind of dog in my life, from little small wiener dogs to Great Danes and pits. I enjoy dogs with a passion, I truly love their loyalty towards their owner. No matter how hard your day is once you come home it’s the best greeting you’ll ever get. Can’t say that about to many things nor people now can you. So I’m getting ready to head to the airforce very soon and I need to find a way to have money coming in before I leave. I thought what’s the best way to do that and the first thing that came to mind was my dogs. So I want to provide others with a solid person to trust around their loved ones no matter what. So i got a small morkie mix as the little brother and an American bully for the big brother. We establish walks,food,water is given 24/7,treats when a task or a good dog is listening. The most important of all, attention and love.
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was 8 years old and I began dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 12. I completed animal behavior training at Kansas Humane Society and have volunteered as a dog walker and playing with the rescue dogs. I take special interest in understanding dog training and behavior and read and watch videos on these topics often. I currently work a normal 8am-5pm office job with a lunch break midday which I can use for a visit. I am completely available on weekends. I am happy to do overnight stays if needed. I have cats in my home and currently do not have a fence so I don't offer in home boarding for dogs. I am extremely attentive and detail oriented. I maintain tidy homes and happy pets. I truly enjoy cuddling and playing so your dog is in good hands with me. If we work together I will send a form to collect all the information needed to ensure I meet all of your needs and then we will do an introduction prior to the sitting.
About: I learned everything I know about pet-care at the vet I worked with many years ago. There my love and passion for animal…especially dogs… grew. It was also there that I learned cats are not my favorite. 🥴 Though I learned a lot from my time working at the vet, I realized that seeing animals suffering or in pain was not something I could do on a daily basis. That realization led me to this job. In my spare time I enjoy my community at Life.Church. Service there has taught me the importance of consistency and reliability. I was recently given a new mental diagnosis, and having my community, my family and my therapist surround me with love and support has been life-changing for me. I would love to get to know you and your furry family members! Because this is my full-time job, I have open availability, and would love to help with scheduled or drop-in visits. Please just leave written instructions that I can recall later, as your pup will not be my only furry client I will need to care for. I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. While I do enjoy my work as a house sitter, watching and caring for dogs is what brings me the most purpose. I have experience with big and little dogs, so whether you have a golden retriever or a Shih Tzu, rest assured, they will be well taken care of.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, family, and others for a while and have had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love them! I’m currently a student at WSU and I have a pretty tight schedule Monday-Thursday but I would absolutely be willing to work around what I can. I am free most weekend. I am very clean and tidy and will make sure not to leave a mess anywhere! I can crate your dog if necessary and should have little to no issues!
“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a lot of my life my own, relatives and neighbors! I love animals and think they need a lot of attention and care! I help care for two dogs everyday, a German Shepard and a Dashund! I love them a lot and love taking them on walks and runs. I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them and spend a lot of time playing with them and giving them the attention they need.
“This was my first time using Rover but I needed a way to find a house sitter that knew what they were doing. I booked Arianna because she had good reviews, available for the booking, and cheaper. I have 4 dogs so I needed someone with a lower “additional dog fee”. She watched them about 10 days. When returning home, I didn’t find any bathroom accidents or tore up furniture. She fed them twice a day and gave my pit an allergy pill each day. I did not require any dog walking. When going out of town, I will use her again.”
About: For 7 years now I have taken care of animals. From many cats, dogs and foul on my grandparents farm to my own pets at home. I also used to volunteer at the Kansas Humane Society, but had to stop due to schooling. Im also an active volunteer for Heartstrings Animal Advocates, providing body work, fostering, and help for event set up I'm currently awaiting a call back from a job interview, along with having graduated, so I have plenty of time to take care of and look after your pets! Due to having two larger dogs and two cats, I will not be providing services in my own home. I will, however, come prepared to learn about how you care for your animals and be willing to mold to your schedule
“Emily is fantastic. She took such great care of our pup, Jenny. I really feel like she treated her in such a kind and special way. She took her for walks, sent us pics and communicated really well. I never had a single issue with Emily. I plan to hire her again. I would definitely trust Emily with any animal you have.”
About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.
“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special routines or medication needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication—treating every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining feeding/walking schedules, and providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of care needs, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I do my best to keep a consistent routine for each pet and plan my schedule around their needs. I appreciate as much notice as possible for bookings, but I can occasionally accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs before care begins. I maintain a clean, secure environment, keep doors and gates monitored, and always use leashes as appropriate during walks. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. You can expect consistent updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Augusta
We had a last minute opportunity to go out of town for a concert and needed someone to card for our two senior dogs. We've used rover.com and always had good success finding someone, but this being a late booking gig, we weren't sure if anyone would be available. Fortunately for us, Ava M. answered the call. We immediately arranged for her to come over and meet our dogs, and were instantly at easy with leaving her to care for them in our house. On the day we left, Ava arrived early so the furry family members wouldn't be alone. All the time we were away, she kept in contact with multiple picks of our hounds relaxing and enjoying her company. We especially like the pic of the He dog sitting next to her on the couch while she watched TV. He was cool as the other side of the pillow with Ava M.. Ava M. showed initiative, was incredibly, easy to work with, and was most responsible. I can't recommend her enough. Next time we go out of town and have to leave our K-9 kids behind, we will definitely ask Ava M. to stay with them again.

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.
<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 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
