“Julia was absolutely fantastic with Cody! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos, which really put my mind at ease. Her communication is top-notch, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She is punctual, reliable, and loves animals. 10 stars”
“Micah did a fantastic job staying with our pups and cat for the weekend! Micah kept the house spotless, followed all the house rules and care guidelines, and sent many pictures and updates so we knew they were in good hands. During the meet-n-greet, Micah had asked plenty of great questions to be sure on the expectations and so we felt confident in Micah's ability to provide a safe care experience for our pets. We're very happy to have Micah sit for us in future!”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“Stephanie is very attentive, and she actually does spend time and enjoy bonding with my pet. My pet is very picky with sitters. Franklin jumped up and be near her when there was a storm, and she stayed close to Franklin all night and able to feed Franklin wee early in the morning. She also does well updating me of Franklin, pictures, videos, which I absolutely need to reduce my anxiety leaving Franklin. So I appreciate Stephanie coming back to help out.”
“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin is wonderful! Very competent with our special needs, senior pups. Took excellent care of them and I’m pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. Fully intend to have her as a regular sitter as much as we can.”
“15/10 would recommend Manuela for dog and housesitting! She ensured our dog, Finn had as good a vacation as we did going out of town for a week. She was quick to respond and coordinate a meet and greet, flexible with arrival/departure times, and sent TONS of photo and video updates. Her experience with animals is obvious and she even went above and beyond taking Finn to the park, sharing one of her extra dog "thunder shirts" when Finn was afraid during a storm, and spoiling him with treats and cuddles. She left the house in perfect condition and even helped water my garden while we were gone. Thank you Manuela!”
“Stephanie took such good care of Gizmo! He loved his walks with her and playing with his toys. Also she was so thoughtful to play his DogTV for him when he was waiting for me to come home. The house was very clean when I returned home. Thank you Stephanie 🧡”
About: Hi, I'm Soraya. I love dogs, and treat every pup that stays with me like my own. I live in a cozy, comfortable apartment that's set up for dogs to actually relax in, not just pass through. I am home almost all day, so your dog is never left alone wondering where everybody went. They get attention, company, and someone to nap next to. You'll get photo updates every single day. I know how it feels to drop your dog off and spend the whole time wondering how they're doing, so I don't make you ask. I am fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking owners can message me in whichever language feels easier. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a talker, or just needs someone patient, I’ve got them. I work from home! So I will be with your dog all day. I start with a morning walk, then your fur baby and I will spend the day together, usually out on the patio getting some sun and some love. Afternoon walk, evening walk, and lots of attention in between. Your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. Whatever routine and rules you have for your dog, I follow them exactly. Feeding schedule, crate or no crate, treats, off-limits spots, I uphold every one of them. In my home, love and safety come first. My apartment is calm and comfortable, I am always here, and I keep a close eye on your pup the whole stay. You’ll get daily photos so you always know your dog is being loved and taken care of.
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“First time booking this sitter and they were awesome! Lots of photo updates and they went above and beyond to leave the house ready for our return. We would gladly book Sydney again!”
About: Hello, I’m Fern (Magdalen) I love animals, I find them to be the most pure little buddies. I have experience with leash pullers and dog reactive dogs. I have experience with cats with medical needs such as administering pills, ear drops, ointments and syringe feedings. I find that pets respond best when you speak to them like they’re human. I enjoy sticking to routine with pets and I ensure pups get plenty of stimulation! I work Mondays through Thursdays 7am-5:30pm. I work remotely Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available to house sit Fridays-Mondays. I am available for walks Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. Depending on distance, morning and midday walks are tricky unless I am house sitting. I pay attention to the animal’s needs. I tend to talk to the pet as if they were a person. I find animals respond well to it and it helps establish trust. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. Extra enrichment when the owner is away is key to help relieve pent up anxieties. I love long walks with dogs. I am good with routines and adhere closely to the guidelines set by the owner.
“AMAZING!!! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't have been happier. Nancy stayed at our home with our Golden Daisy for a long weekend and was the best companion. Nancy sent pictures every day, went on walks and lots of snuggles. (Not to mention our house looked better than we left it). Can't recommend Nancy enough and she will definitely be watching Daisy again in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors’ pets and volunteered at a local animal shelter since I was in middle school, but have since moved to GA. I have had my border collie, Cashew, since he was only a puppy and my cat, Hazel, since she was 4 months old. I would love to help others care for their furry friends as well! I am VERY much used to longer walks or physical activity to play with high energy dogs, but I’m also happy to swing by for just a short walk and a potty break if that’s all they need. I hope to just be an extension of the love and care you give to your fur babies! I will always try my best to give you same day availability if it’s needed. I am currently working per diem, which allows me to have a good deal of flexibility. I will do my best to stay consistent with your regular daily routine for your pets to avoid any major stress for you or them. I am more than comfortable crate training if that’s something you are working on. I’ve also put on more harnesses and different collars than I can count. My partner and I have trained our dog on our own and raised our cat from when she was a kitten, so we’ve seen all the stages!

Jasmine was available for house and dog sitting on short notice. She came to the house to meet me and the dogs prior to the engagement. She was responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with, giving us daily updates on the dogs. She did a great job taking care of the house and dogs and that allowed us to enjoy a long weekend away. I recommend her to any pet owner!
Eve was lovely and wonderful with Wesley! Wes is a bit of a tricky dog and Eve paid close attention to the details during our meet and greet and had a successful weekend with him! She kept us up to date with photos and summaries and we came back to a happy and fulfilled pup :)
Emily was wonderful about communicating with us and sending pics of the pups while we were away. She stayed in our home & even took our dog to daycare one day. We fully trust her & the dogs LOVED HER!! We will recommend her to our friends and neighbors and look forward to using her services again soon!
Caitlin was above and beyond an amazing sitter for my boy Prawn! She stepped in on short notice when I had to leave for a family emergency and took great care of him. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again for future visits and I can see Prawn really enjoyed her company as well!
Shannon is INCREDIBLE. She was quick to respond to a last minute request to watch my pups for the weekend and scheduled a meet and greet within the next two days. She was kind, responsible and clearly LOVES dogs. She made me feel comfortable enough to have her watch my pup post-surgery because I knew he’d be in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again! THANK YOU

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Avondale Estates is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $61 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 4,676 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avondale Estates. 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 Avondale Estates 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 Avondale Estates 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 Avondale Estates 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
