About: Professional in-home care with veterinary experience — walks, drop-ins, and house sitting only. I specialize in reliable, stress-free dog walks and enjoy providing pups with safe, attentive exercise Hi! I’m Sharon — a dog mom, animal hospital professional, and future veterinarian. I specialize in in-home pet care, including house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I know how important consistency and routine are for pets, especially when their humans are away. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication administration, enrichment playtime, or calm companionship, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to their needs. I currently work as a veterinary assistant, which means I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of stress or illness, and following detailed care instructions. My schedule is flexible, and I work from home part of the week, allowing me to provide reliable check-ins, timely walks, and overnight care when house sitting. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you updated with photos and notes so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. For safety, I’m familiar with nearby emergency veterinary clinics and will act quickly and responsibly should any concerns arise. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.

Cindy was awesome, we were anxious leaving our elderly pup with someone new and she made the process so easy start to finish. She sent wonderful photos multiple times a day to let us know Faith was doing well and we felt at ease on our trip knowing our pup was getting good care!

About: I’m very athletic and love nature and the scenic routes in life so I don’t mind going on long walks or even jogs with your pet I am currently a post grad young adult looking for part time walking jobs to fill my spare time. I am currently available on weekdays in the morning or afternoon, and on weekends. I am living at home with my parents currently so I am not able to care for pets in my own home, but for out of home care, I pet sit for my brother frequently and I am good with abiding by all rules previously set within the home and with the pet.

Cared for our babygirl. Sat with her and gave her love. We appreciate the late notice and lots of love she gave Cleo when she checked in with her at home.

About: I’m a devoted dog lover and experienced pet caregiver who treats every dog like family. I have a dog of my own and truly understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I enjoy providing attentive care, daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a college student with a flexible weekly schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m used to balancing school responsibilities with caring for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding times, and playtime are already a regular part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all provided instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and secure and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

About: I’ve grown up around several types of pets, from dogs and cats to rats. My sister works in a vet office and I myself own two cats, two chihuahuas and a hound dog. I have previous dog sitting experience from family. I’m currently working a full time job, but can plan around it to care for pets if given enough notice. I love animals and happily help them out. I can’t take pets into my own home due to having a reactive dog myself, but I can care for them in a client’s home! I feel comfortable providing basic medical needs such as ointments and bandaids and have experience trimming claws if needed as well.

About: Hello! My name is Jackie. I have been surrounded by animals all my life. I am 25 years old. I got into more experience with handling animals around 15 years of age. I’ve fostered four litters of kittens while finding them new homes. I have experience with bottle feeding. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs as well. I’ve taken dogs for walks, bathed them and other necessary things they needed such as medications. I would like to provide you with the comfort of knowing that your pet is in good, loving care! Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently attend school only twice a week. This allows me to have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Even on school days, I make sure to schedule visits and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I currently care for pets in the client’s home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting and do not bring pets into my own home. I always send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and dependable I am—I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m confident with basic puppy training like leash walking and reinforcing commands, and I also provide gentle senior care, including medication support and mobility assistance. I treat every pet like family and always follow their routine to keep them happy while you’re away 🐾 Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special needs to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to maintain pets’ regular routines and provide dependable care whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule rather than an afterthought. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine, rules, and instructions to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-safe by removing hazards, securing doors and gates, and supervising pets at all times. I respect my clients’ homes, provide regular updates, and communicate clearly so owners feel confident and informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

Sean was wonderful with my cats! He came by every day, spent time playing with them, and sent pictures that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats hid the entire time, and I really appreciated that he didn’t push her or try to force interaction—he just let her be comfortable, which says a lot about how well he understands cats. I’ll definitely be booking with him again. He really does know cats which can be hard to find these days.

About: I have been pet sitting since 2017. Along with that I have plenty of experience working with animals considering I have been volunteering at animal shelters and veterinary clinics since 2016. I previously worked at Banfield Pet Hospital where I have bolstered my skills and experience with mostly dogs, cats, and some smaller animals such as hamsters. I am confident in my knowledge of dog and cat behavior; I have the ability to restrain, administer medications, basic obedience training, animal safety, and attentiveness to your pets unique personality and overall health . I am a full-time undergrad student, and I take all of my courses solely online. Meaning I am super flexible when it comes to scheduling. While caring for a furbaby at the client’s home, I am EXTREMELY huge on checklists and to do lists. This keeps me on track all day, ensuring that your pet is on a schedule so that I can create a routine that sort of helps me predict your pet’s behavior. I am very attentive, making sure that the pet is in my sight at all times, especially younger pets. Also, I do posses a certificate in animal first aid.

They’ll receive top-notch care, plenty of playtime, and all the love they deserve.

couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Chrishtian! He took amazing care of my dog son, Kobalt, while I was away on vacation. He was incredibly attentive, followed every instruction perfectly, and made sure Kobalt felt loved and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Kobalt truly enjoyed his care and affection which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I’m extremely grateful for his dedication and will definitely be booking with him again! Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Austell on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 6,605 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Austell. 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 Austell 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.

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 Austell 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Austell with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
