“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’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
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.
“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!”
“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: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them! I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, giving lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I know every animal has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated along the way! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles and company, I’ll make sure they never feel forgotten or rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine, respect your home, and pay close attention to any special instructions you leave. I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like family.
About: I have had dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I have experience with most animals, also including livestock and exotics. I have 7 years of veterinary medicine experience as well as 5 years of animal law enforcement experience. I can handle all sizes and all breeds. Trusted to medicate your pets and handle dogs with ‘quirks’. Drop in visits, walks, overnight stays in your home or boarding in mine! Photos are taken daily of your pet and sent to you! I am a full time veterinary assistant. I have never had a job outside of animal care, so rest assured your pet is trusted with me. Safety is a #1 priority. All pet parents will be required to provide an emergency contact and vet information. Photos are sent daily to pet parents. Dogs boarding in my home will be kept in their own space, and will not be around any other animals aside from housemates from their home. Dogs are crated overnight/when away for safety unless other arrangements are made. Cats have their own room in my home, away from all other animals. Pet parents get photos daily!
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 did a great job watching lavender and midnight! We will 100% be using her again for pet sitting! The animals warmed up to her very quickly. She left the house just as we had left it. If you are looking for a pet sitter Emily is the best around.”
“I can't recommend Misty highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my kitten, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about my cat's behavior, which brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared, and my cat was so content and well looked after. I will definitely book with them again! - Very nice having someone Thai reliable in the area!”
“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!!!”
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.
“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: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.
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.
About: I spent all day at home to take care my cat. Feed, wash their hair every week, and some time take them go outside to hangout I'm a student. I have a plenty of time to play with cat. I go to school from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Sometime I learn at home I have a friendly cat at my home. She is very friendly and maybe shy a litte bit. I can stop by at your home to take care of your pets.
“This is the third time Sophia watched our pets and each time she does an absolutely stellar job. We have an old doggo with anxiety that sometimes need a little extra TLC and Sophia went above and beyond to make her comfortable. As long as she’s pet sitting we will gladly employ her to watch our babies.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Augusta on Rover is $16.65 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Augusta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Augusta. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
