“Ryan saved the day. I was nervous about traveling with a senior dog at home in less than perfect health. Ryan kept me apprised throughout the duration of my trip, and gave a level of reassurance that my dog was in good hands. No offense to my former boarding kennel, but I wish I met Ryan years ago. Thanks again!”

About: I worked at a dog/cat daycare and boarding facility for 3 years so I know dog/cat behavior, safely protocols and procedures well, and I am passionate about their wellbeing. I am currently working part-time so I am pretty flexible with my time and availability. I also love going on walks so having a pup with me would make it a lot more enjoyable. I will follow the instructions provided to me. I also love to give extra affection and attention when wanted and or needed. I am familiar with administering medications if needed.

“Madison is exceptional. Highly recommend. Madison cared for my three cats while I was away for 2.5 weeks. She visited twice daily and provided exactly the level of care I needed. What stood out: ✅ Proactive communication - She sent pictures and videos throughout my trip with specific updates on each cat. ✅ Problem-solving - One of my cats developed concerning eye symptoms mid-trip. Madison immediately sent me a photo, asked what to do, and implemented my care plan. The eye improved quickly because of her attentiveness. ✅ Attention to detail - I came home to a clean litter box, clean home, happy cats in good condition, and a thoughtful note. She also left coupons for cat food. ✅ Peace of mind - I was traveling internationally and missed my cats terribly. But I had ZERO worry about their care because Madison was there. Madison understands that pet sitters do more than feed and scoop, they’re caregivers who notice when something’s off and act on it. She’s my first choice for cat care.”

Our dogs were clearly comfortable and happy with her, and we appreciated the updates and pictures she shared. It was obvious they were well cared for and relaxed at home. We would absolutely book with her again.”

About: Had dogs my whole life. Usually labs. But always enjoyed them more than humans 🤣. Recently had my dog of 15 years pass away and am just looking for some animal atttention! *Update: got a new golden doodle puppy! So as long as your dog is friendly they can play! I do a lot of work from home but would be busy Tuesday’s and thursdays. Some weeks vary. But as long as it’s planned I have some leeway with my schedule. I have a dog friendly neighborhood with an electric fence that was for my dog. The yard is pretty big. And we have ropes leashes and collars for all shapes and sizes of pups 🐶

About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Hisham was a great house sitter,he stayed at my house and took care of my dog and three cats. His communication was excellent, I received daily photos of the pets. He walked my dog every day and snuggled the cats a lot. He was very responsible, and one of the best things was before we got home he not only stripped the bed but washed the sheets and re-put them on, and vacuumed the house! Very impressive, will be using him again for sure.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I’ve always felt a special bond and connection to animals and the natural world. I'm reminded and amazed on a daily basis at their resilience, special ability to live in the moment, and bring and provide healing and joy just by being! Dogs truly contain a pure and unconditional love and acceptance that enrich our lives. I have 8 years of experience caring for and owning dogs and have been around animals my whole life. I have a passion for local animal rescues and have also been a dog foster myself. This has allowed me to gain experience in handling various situations and caring for a variety of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, energy levels from different backgrounds. More on my technical experience below - please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions! • Over 8 years’ experience caring for dogs • In-depth knowledge of different breeds of domestic pets • Ensured pets are given enough exercise and playtime • Cleaned and bathed dogs • Administered oral and topical medications when needed to dogs and cats • Experience providing first aid when required - such as cuts, scrapes, bites, burns. I work for myself and out of my home part time so I will have plenty of time to care for and focus on your pet. With a deep understanding of animal behavior and a genuine love for all animals, I'm committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing companionship, I'm here to tend to their needs. Being a helicopter dog mom myself - I know how hard it is to leave and find the right person to trust and care for your pet. I understand that pets are more than just animals; they’re beloved family members.

Adryona is amazing! We have a high maintenance rescue pup who doesn’t trust many people and she immediately took to Adryona. I am so happy that we have found such a caring, thoughtful caregiver for our pup and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Augusta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Augusta is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $66 per night. 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 2,971 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Augusta. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
