“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
“Cindy took care of my 6 month old for a week. I am an anxious first time pet parent and she absolutely helped me get through the week in peace. She sent regular updates and pictures and I could see my little boy happy and playing in each of them. She is also super quick to respond. Thanks for all your help Cindy! We are thankful we found you.”
“Naho was so sweet. She took great care of my cat and communicated with me daily. She went the extra mile to find things to do with my cat, making snacks for her and even made the cutest crochet hat for her! Love her!”
“Our furkids love Cara very much, so excited to see her everytime she comes. She treats our home with care and she handles our quirky pets like a pro. We are very happy repeat clients!”
“She was amazing, she took great care of my two pups, kept them both happy and well cleaned after. She gave lots of updates and photos. I will most definitely use her again in the future”
“Ashton was great. She took the time to visit me and my pet before the scheduled booking, taking great notes and ensuring my pet would be familiar with her. Will be using her again.”
“Bunny took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout and goes above & beyond to make sure our home and pups are well taken care of. Thanks!!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Stephanie is a godsend. It's so hard to find a sitter who is professional, reliable, and kind - and that becomes even harder when you have a whole herd of animals to take care of (2 dogs and 4 cats)! Stephanie has surpassed our expectations every time she cares for our animals. She takes her job seriously and also clearly loves animals. We feel really lucky to have found her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I would want someone to give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, or simply some extra attention and company, I’m happy to help! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure to follow your instructions closely and help your pet feel safe and comfortable. I also understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is doing well while you’re gone. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident choosing me again! I currently work full-time, but I still have a pretty open schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, & Saturdays. I am also free most of the time after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. I am always willing to try to make my schedule work to take care of your pet when you need! I will take care of your pets' needs as you request. I do not take this job lightly. As someone who has had pets my whole life, I know how important they are to us. That is why I will treat your pets like they were my own. Whatever you need from me to make this happen, I will do my best to make it happen so your pet can be safe, healthy, and in a good environment!
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
“Nmantendi was THE BEST!! We were gone 3 nights and got updates and photos many times throughout the day. We came home to a spotless and organized home and happy dog. Unfortunately, our puppy got sick on the last day, but she was there to love and care for him until we got home. She will be our go to person to watch our dog and home. Thank you, Nmantendi!!!”
About: I’m vigilant and will keep your pup safe on a walk, will make sure they have time to do their business, and allow them to stop and smell the roses along the way. I work from home and love dogs so this is perfect opportunity for me to earn a little extra money and give a little extra love. I am used to watching dogs that need constant supervision. My husky required constant supervision during his puppy months and is now potty trained and the best boy.
“We asked Alana to help with our dog while on vacation. Our neighborhood is a bit busy and we were worried about finding someone who could accommodate our needs and feel confident to navigate the area. As our dog experiences separation anxiety and a few other issues with joints, we wanted to keep him at home, so someone that could stay at our apartment that was trustworthy. Alana got along with our dog right away and was very relaxed and kept her cool, someone experienced with dog, After staying with him for 10 days, we came back to a clean home and a happy dog. We got updates and pics the whole time, no emergencies or anything like that. Overall very happy and will definitely be bringing Alana back when we take our next vacation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Austell is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Austell
This was the longest I had left the dogs alone since acquiring them in December. I was apprehensive, but needn't have been. Linque impressed me from our first meeting. It is very apparent that she is an animal lover. It also helped that she had experience as a vet tech and with the husky breed, as Rocko is both ailing and a husky mix. Linque took his antics in stride and was super patient with stand-offish Hazel. The dogs were obviously well cared for. I got regular updates with photo and video, and Linque went above and beyond by performing some household tasks that I had not asked of her, my primary concern being the dogs. Thank you, Linque! I will not hesitate to hire you again for future travels.
This was our second time using Raniyah. She is so kind, gentle, and patient with our scaredy-cat dog and provides lots of playtime for the kitties. She sends tons of photos and interacts freely if she needs anything — which I appreciate. I’m so happy to have found her and hope to use her again soon. Highly recommended! 😊
Heather gave excellent service. I was so nervous about boarding my dogs. They have been with no one else but me since they were babies. They are 11 years old. She make sure that she sent me pictures dessert show that my babies were okay and having a good time. I did a weekend test with her because I'm going out of town for a week and I needed someone to take care of my babies. As long as I have dogs and I need somebody to take care of them I will contact her immediately. If I could go higher than a five star she would get it. Heather thank you so much for taking care of my babies.
Natalie did an awesome job of taking care of our little Elvas for 5 days. She met or exceeded our every expectation. Natalie communicated with us regularly to let us know how it was going, sending lots of pictures to show Elvas was being well cared for. We’ll definitely use her services again.

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 Austell 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 Austell 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
