“Having Jacquelyn look after my dog and cat during a work trip was peace of mind. She communicated well, and kept me updated. The pets seemed really comfy with her even though we're new to the area and she's a new person. Thank you. :)”
“Jasmine is professional, kind, and my dogs seem to love her! She is easy to communicate with and listens to the specific requests you have about your animals! Will be booking again with her!”
“Alina was a great pet sitter for our family. She was prompt kind and professional in communicating throughout the process. She was willing to come to our new address even after I forgot to update in River, that was greatly appreciated. Pictures she took made us all smile and feel confident Fritz was well taken care of while we were on vacation. We’d highly recommend her to all families.”
“Cassandra is an absolute peach! She took care of our sweet cat Maya for two weeks while we were away. We never felt a moment's hesitation to leave her in Cassandra's care. We have had Cassandra take care of our cat multiple times and highly recommend her to anyone. Cassandra is just amazing.”
About: I have always had at least one pet in my household—the more the merrier! I have owned cats since childhood and currently have 4. Though I don’t currently have a dog, I love my friends’ and neighbors dogs as if they were my own and constantly drop by the visit and walk them. I am experienced with kittens and puppies as well as older pets. I currently work from home with very flexible hours, so I can usually come by with short notice! If you’d like me to stick around all day, I can bring my laptop and work from your home so that I can provide constant company for your pet. I have very few meetings during the day so I can provide lots of cuddles, walks, play, and attention all day long. I am well attuned to cat and dog body language and know when to provide space, take things slow to gain trust, and when pets are ready to play. I always make sure to keep dogs on leashes when they are outside, and as an owner of two escape artist cats I know to always make sure the doors are closed behind me! I know that pet owners know their pets best, so I will always listen to your experience and input regarding how to best care for your pet.

“Stephanie and Devan are great with taking care of Jack - they make sure that he gets a lot of attention and care. They are very accommodating when it comes to time of visit. Highly recommended.”
“Kadie was absolutely incredible watching our two kitties while we were away for a week. She did everything perfectly, was communicative and kept us updated the whole time, and was just so kind, polite, and easy to work with. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We felt so much better being away knowing our boys were in such good hands. We’re really grateful to have someone like her in the area and would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you Kadie!!!”
“Alyx did an excellent job watching over our shy cat. Despite our cat not usually wanting to come out for strangers Alyx was able to coax him out for a photoshoot almost every day. Much appreciated.”
About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.
About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable working with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was a small child. I’m a huge animal lover, and I have experience that ranges from puppies to senior dogs. Also experienced in some livestock care! I work part-time, so I have great flexibility in my schedule. I’m also available most weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I’m incredible attentative and responsible (this includes duty pick up!), knowledgeable on walking dogs of various temperaments and levels of reactivity. Also experienced with a variety of “no-pull” harness styles.
“This was our second time having Abigail care for our dogs. We left town for Thanksgiving, and she stepped right in like a familiar friend to both of our pups. Our Norwegian Elkhound warmed up to her immediately, and she handled his vocal personality with total ease. Our Chocolate Lab, who still struggles with some anxiety, was noticeably more relaxed this time thanks to the trust she’s built with him. Abigail kept us updated throughout her visits, and it gave us so much peace of mind while spending time with family. It’s clear she remembers their personalities, routines, and quirks, and she genuinely cares about their comfort. We’re so grateful to have someone we can depend on, and we would absolutely recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From yorkies, to our alaskan malamute, and many shelter dogs, I have seen it all. I have been working professionally with dogs for around a year now. I worked in a doggy daycare setting for 6 months, and have been working at a shelter ever since! These experiences have given me knowledge in how to better understand body language, social cues, behaviors, and fear free handling. Even before professional experience, I have been one of the primary caretakers to our family dogs, medicating, feeding, training, etc, is no foreign task to me:) I understand how stressful it is to trust a random person to take care of your animals, but I promise to care for your animal with the same patience, attention, and love, I give my own:) I currently have a completely open schedule, so I’m available most days and times! Whether you need early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last minute care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means long walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, sticking to a feeding schedule, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they’re cared for exactly the way you would. I’m familiar with the surrounding areas and love spending time outdoors, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands.
About: I am a huge animal lover! My husband and I chose fur babies over human babies and have a golden doodle, senior kitty, and two rescue buns! I have experience working with both senior and special needs pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I am also skilled with bunnies, birds, sheep, goats, and chicken. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I am currently working a full time remote job 9-5 Monday-Friday. I have ample weekend availability and can also assist with evening care on weekdays if needed. Please reach out for any scheduling questions! I love taking long walks and will take your dog as far as they need to go. I do also have experience with leash pulling and am happy to accommodate different harnesses that your pet prefers. I will not work with choke/shock collars as I do believe they do much more harm than good. If a drop in visit is needed, I will come to your home and spend as much time with your furry friends as needed! I can also assist with medication management and prescription diets.
About: Iv been raising newborn kittens and fish my entire life. I grew up with big dogs too! Past co-workers would often say I have a funny personality and a calm demeanor. My attention to detail is my strongest skill. I have done volunteer work for camp sunshine, the animal refugees, and we run a youth group called Gaming for Christ. Im an artsy person; im in college for horticulture and I hope to work as an agricultural specialist. Veterinary assistant experience from York County Community College. I have five years of customer service experience. Looking for long-term work with friendly people who will make a list of specific details (if needed) for your pets. I take a great time making sure your pets are happy and comfortable! Completely open to any time or date that your furry friend needs me! Holidays and special occasions included! Im going to school online so I can always be available. I am very knowledgeable in Pet CPR. Fast reaction skills and attention to detail. Very capable on keeping environment clean and safe for any pet.
About: I have always had dogs and love walking and playing with them. I always share a special bond with dogs, they are so friendly and comforting. My mom used to have her own doggy day care business and train dogs. I would love to meet new friendly faces and get to know your dogs. I believe that once I get to know your little pup, we will have a lovely time together. I have mostly had collies and shelties and currently I also have a pitbull/boxer mix. If your dog need meds, I have given plenty to other dogs in the past. I am very good at keeping dogs occupied and busy while having a good time too. I believe that if you give me a chance, your dog and I will have great times together going for walks and playing. I’m a teacher so this summer of ‘22 I am looking to have this as my full time job! I think that would be so much fun and the perfect fit for me and my schedule as I am very flexible! I love having toys around that my dogs love to use. I usually put my dogs closed in separate rooms during the day when we are gone. I would make sure all the dogs/pets would be as open or as separated as you’d like. Every dog is unique in their needs.
About: I started a career in dog care in 2010. I have extensive experience with all dog breeds in boarding, day care, training, grooming and vet tech. I then began rescuing Pugs and have my 5th one currently. I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible schedule. Let's see what works for both of us. I'm available as often as needed and I have reliable transportation available I have a dog park across the street but also plenty of regular walking trails if your pet isn't social. My dog is very friendly and always happy to make a new friend

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Augusta
Jasmine is just the best. She was willing to move her entire schedule around for me the day-of a week’s worth of sitting, which was truly going above and beyond. Jasmine is an amazing communicator — she’s prompt, cheerful, and makes her time with my dog a priority! I love reading updates and seeing the pictures they take together. Both my pup and I are so lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone!
We have had Naomi watch our cats' multiple times; she is always great! This time one of them was freaked out by a bad thunderstorm that was going on while she was here. She let us know, spent special time with him, and checked in with him early the next day to make sure he was ok. She is awesome with the cats.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Augusta on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 310 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Augusta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Augusta stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
