“Kacy is amazing! She followed all our lengthy directions to a T. She kept us well informed about how our girl was doing. She made sure that our girl had multiple walks a day. She kept a perfect schedule. Our home was perfectly clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Had another wonderful experience with Leigh! Thank you so much for your wonderful communication, care, and attention to Mabel. I really appreciate the peace of mind knowing my girl is in loving hands while we're away!”
“Vanessa did an amazing job. She is very nice and attentive to our dogs. The communication was amazing the 5 days we were gone. She kept us up to date each day and sent pictures of our pups to us. We had a last minute flight change and she was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate us. I would highly highly recommend Vanessa! She left our house so clean you couldnt even tell someone was there while we were gone. Thanks Vanessa. We will see you again! ❤️ ?”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of my family’s and neighbors’ pets since I was 15, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I currently own a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s individual personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and relaxed, I take the time to meet their needs and make them comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I’d love the chance to help care for your furry family member! I’m available for evening care on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m able to check in on pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they’re well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I believe owners know their pets best, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for.
“Niki was great! She kept us updated on our two dogs every day with pictures included. And both dogs looked to be enjoying themselves the whole time. She even prepaired their evening meals I always give them. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter. Next time we have to head out of town we will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again!”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Marissa has been wonderful. This was my first time leaving my baby for this long and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Marissa was giving him all the love and attention she was. I have now found my go to!! Forever grateful for her and will be at ease if I need to leave him again!”
About: I’m an animal lover and pet owner just looking to help other pet parents. I can take your dog on runs or hikes if desired, or we can just go for a casual stroll. I’ve dog sat and house sat in the past, so let me give you some peace of mind when you are traveling! Your pets will be loved like one of my own and given the best care possible. I am in between jobs right now so I have lots of flexibilty, even on holidays! No pet is too big or too small and no task too hard! I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and horses. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any needs at any time of day. Please reach out to me with your specific schedule and I will see what I can do to assist. I do not currently take pets in my home for boarding as I have a dog who prefers to be the center of attention. But I am willing to and comfortable with providing any sort of care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I am more than happy to facilitate outside activities like hikes, parks, or even just socialization outings. If your pet has any special needs at home, I am more than happy to listen and accommodate!
About: I have dog sit for my aunt for a couple of years now and she says I do an amazing job and will recommend to others. I work Monday through Saturday but I have time I. The evening and in the morning to make sure they are taken care of. I know my schedule is a little Chaotic. I will do what is needed for that animal in that clients home. I will make sure they stay clean and safe and have plenty of playtime and that they trust me
“I have 2 young cats and they were amazing! Kept their schedule as consistent as possible, spent lots of time with them, and kept this anxious momma up to date with pictures and videos. Will absolutely use them again!”
“Gunner did a great job watching my two large dogs for the week. We came home after a road trip and the dogs were healthy and the house was exactly how we left it. Will be rebooking in the future 👍🏼”
“I've already rebooked with Ruth. We did a meet and greet with the pups since I have one that is very skiddish and is hesitant with strangers and by the end of the visit my pup would sit on the couch with Ruth! I felt very good knowing my pups were safe and being looked after while I was gone. She was phenomenal with the timing of my travels and wonderfully respectful of my home. I am beyond excited to have a reliable dog sitter, highly recommend!”

About: I'm experienced in what to do in medical emergencies I have had that happen once I am a huge pet lover and I am friends with a veterinarian. Currently I only try to watch on my days off if somebody needs a sitter for longer however we could work something out I'm a huge pet lover and I live on three acres. This will depend on client some clients are okay with pets paying left out at night some clients prefer their pets be put in crate at night I will honor the rules of the client.
“Hire this lady. We've had a lot of dog sitters, one or two of which I thought were amazing. Until Sarah came. Sarah sent me cute, happy pictures, videos and updates basically every 4 hours or so! She took them on long walks every day, played with them and treated them like her own. She even gave them toys! When we came back she'd even cleaned the house, changed the sheets and everything. I'm so blown away. I felt relaxed going away for the first time since moving here. Our dogs loved her and even kept going into the spare room after she left looking for her! I would hire Sarah again in an instant!! Thank you Sarah! ❤️❤️”
“Max & Maggie ❤️ Audrey. They are both rescues, one of which was rescued from pretty harsh conditions, & Audrey gives her special attention & took time to bond with her. We'll always use Audrey in the future for our fur babies. She's for sure the dog whisperer, very trustworthy & knowledgeable when it comes to caring for pets.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,466 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

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.
