“Cindy was wonderful. She eased my mind by sending me pictures showing my dog had fully adjusted to her being there and was comfortable. Communication the entire time was great. This was my first time using a sitter, great experience.”

“Linque was so good with our two dogs, and kept us up to date with lots of pictures and updates. I can’t imagine us having picked a better pet sitter for our first experience with Rover. You definitely won’t go wrong picking Linque for your pet sitting needs.”

“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’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, including owning and caring for a senior dog myself. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines, whether that means lots of playtime and activity or a little extra patience and care. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the week. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I’m available to provide companionship, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I’m at work until 5:15 PM, but I’m available in the evenings afterward. Weekends are generally open and flexible unless otherwise noted. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to their surroundings, routines, and individual needs, and I make sure they’re supervised and in a secure environment. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and follow any instructions they provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, or other routines. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own.
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.
“Dixie was fantastic! We have used a lot of different sitter, but Dixie was by far the best. She communicated regularly and clearly. She sent updates and made sure to ask all the right questions anytime something happens with our pets. Great house guest, everything was just how we left it. Will book again!”
“Jayne stayed at our home and took great care of our cats and dog. We received lots of updates, including pictures and videos while we were away. We also came home to a vacuumed house, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. We will be using her again and highly recommend her services!”


“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”

“We loved Lori watching over us! - yes that's what my dogs whispered on my ear when I returned. She was very attentive with them, gentle as it can be and honestly I didn't even know I had a house guest. We will be reaching out to her in the future, that's for sure!”

About: I have a big place in my heart for four legged friends of many kinds. I grew up with a dog, have a place in my heart for cats, and had pet rats later in life.

“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”

“We can’t say enough great things about Emma! She stayed at our home for a full week and took wonderful care of our four animals. From the very beginning she was professional, kind, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and the house was clean. It was clear she gave them lots of love and attention, not just the basics. Managing four animals is no small task, but she handled everything with ease and genuine care. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring sitter. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Austell
Raniyah has once again proven to be a stellar house/petsitter. Third time using her and it’s just so easy dealing with her… and the pets love her. We could not ask for more — Raniyah is fantastic and we are grateful to have found her. A+! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Austell is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $73 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.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
