“Chloe was an incredible sitter! We had her house and dog sit for us and she couldn’t be kinder and more caring for my babies. She kept us updated throughout the entire booking. Definitely recommend!”
“Mckayle was very attentive to our dogs! She was willing to go above and beyond, kept our house in order and took great care of our boys! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future if we need a house sitter! Thank you Mckayle for doing an amazing job!”
“Tara was amazing with our dog while we had our wedding ! She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and messages, and even left our home spotless. It’s clear she truly care about animals, our dog absolutely adored her. Even left us with super cute sketches of our pups that we can cherish forever 🙂”
About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times. I would pet proof home ensure no medications or cleaning products, etc are accessible to pets. Also, I would only feed what the owner wanted the pet to be fed.
About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.
About: I've always loved our furry friends: wether sheltering strays for a few days, pet sitting for neighbors, or volunteering at my local shelter I learned each animal has their own personality and temperament but all require some basic needs, like water, food, exercise, mental stimulation, and ofc love! Beyond the practical knowledge of walking, feeding, training, and playing with animals I've also had a personal fascination into the minds of animals (LOVE watching dog training videos and reading up on Donna Haraway). When I mean I love pets and want to make sure they'll have a good time, I mean it! I’ve say both cats and dogs from days to months, small to large, shy to outgoing. Your fur child will be in great hands! I work from home full time, so my availability can be pretty flexible! Open to chat more based on needs and schedules Every animal has a different schedule so like to work around what works best for your pet Building has a fenced in courtyard and a community garden on the corner. There's a couple of cats and dogs in the building but for our apartment unit, your pets would be the only ones (they'll have my undivided attention <3) There is also a dog park about 15 min walking and another green space garden 10 min walking.
About: Growing up my family always had dogs, they aren’t just pets but members of the family! In college I had a golden retriever and now have a chocolate Labrador named Moose who is 10 years old and a 5 year old yellow lab named duck. Having a very active dog I know the importance of walking, socializing and caring for a dog. I’ve raised three dogs from puppies and have gone through many hours of dog training classes. Don’t be surprised if your pup picks up a new trick or two during their stay! While I do work a fully time job I am 100% remote so I am available to your pets needs, always. I would love to spend time with your pet! While walking your dog I will take them to all the local parks (with your permission) to get extra energy out with sniff enrichment. During checkins I will make sure your pet has water and food (if applicable), let them out for a potty break, provide pets/play/attention and whatever requests you might have.
“Second time we’ve used Taylor and we plan to many more times. We missed our flight heading home and she stayed longer to look after our pup and we were sooo grateful!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs around the house, so caring for them feels second nature, not a job. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a daytime hang, a walk around the block, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like part of the family while you’re away. I’m attentive to each animal’s routine and personality: feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or just knowing when a dog wants to play and when a cat wants to be left alone. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits - happy to work around whatever your pet needs. Mornings start with a check-in cuddle and a feeding if it’s their usual time, followed by a walk or some yard time to burn off morning energy. Throughout the day, your pet gets plenty of attention: playtime, belly rubs, and naps on the couch if that’s their style. My son is part of the routine too. He adores dogs and loves helping with walks and playtime, so your pet gets even more love and energy throughout the day. Evenings wind down with a calm walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, with updates and photos sent your way so you can see how their day went. Every pet’s routine looks a little different, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule keeps them happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s safety always comes first, whether in my home or theirs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, never leaving them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations, and I make sure my home is pet-proofed with no hazardous items within reach, and a calm, comfortable space for them to settle in. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and rules, keep the house secure, and make sure doors and gates stay closed so pets can’t slip out. For dogs especially, walks are on a secure leash, and I’m attentive to other animals, traffic, and anything that could startle them. My son knows the same safety rules and never handles a pet without me nearby, so there’s always responsible supervision. I also keep emergency contacts and vet information on hand in case anything unexpected comes up.
About: Pet Experience Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had both dogs and cats for most of my life, and I truly can’t imagine my home without them. I currently have two pittie mixes who are goofy, loving, energetic, and definitely keep life interesting! Because I’ve lived with animals for so many years, I know that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and way of showing you what they need. I love getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own dogs—with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup wants to play, go for a walk, cuddle on the couch, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐾❤️ I work as a school psychologist in the local public school system, so I have weekends, evenings, and school breaks off. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m happy to stay overnight when needed or stop by for walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love! 🐾❤️ I’m a very active person and love being outside, so if your dog enjoys adventures, we’ll have a great time together! Depending on what your pup enjoys, I’m happy to take them on walks, hikes, runs, or even to the dog park. I’ll always follow your preferences and your dog’s energy level—whether they’re ready for an adventure or would rather relax and cuddle at home. I want your pets to feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll treat them just like I’d want someone to treat my own dogs. ❤️🐶
“Reese was amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better first time Rover experience. Reese was very kind, punctual and kept me well informed with great photos and videos of my pup while I was away. First time I have left my pup with someone I did not truly know and she made it very stress free. Reese did exceptional and would highly, highly recommend her for someone needing a friendly and knowledgable dog watcher.”
“Atri was AMAZING! She cared so well for our girls that they fell in LOVE! She was so sweet and very communicative, so I had no issues or worries with my girls at all which is great when you’re traveling so you have one less thing to worry about! I will absolutely be booking with her again! :)”
About: Hi! I’m Mckinley! I’ve always had a huge love for animals of all kinds, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs big and small, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. I have a very flexible schedule and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away :) I’m currently enrolled in an online program working towards my medical coding certification, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’ll have lots of time to give them the attention, love, and affection they deserve! 🤍 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home and routine! I’ll follow your pets’ normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, & playtime. I’ll also make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never feel alone while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pets have!
“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”
“Thank you Charlotte for taking such great care of the boys. Her communication was great with daily updates and photos as well as a fantastic portrait of Goose and Putter. It was so nice to come home and have the boys relaxed and rested rather than strung out and stressed from staying in a kennel. You can tell Charlotte truly loves and cares about animals. We are so happy we found her.”
“I have a 4 1/2 year old chihuahua who is my baby. Besides her spay surgery I’ve never left her overnight. I had to leave her this past weekend. I accidentally found Matt because I forgot to change my address after a recent move. Thank goodness I did! After the meet and greet Cammie was ready to go home with him! Dogs know good people so I knew I found the right sitter. Matt took such good care of her and sent me the cutest pics of my sweet baby girl. Thank you so much Matt! I will be using you again!!”

Tara was absolutely amazing with our pups and house sitting! Two rambunctious wire fox terriers provide a lot to do! We would absolutely rebook with Tara anytime! It was so great to come home and have our pups relaxed and we could tell that they were so comfortable with her while we were gone!
Amber & Ric watched our 5 dogs and 2 parrots for the second time — this time for an entire week. It takes real coordination and care to look after a crew this size, and they handled it all with such patience and love. We came home to happy dogs, content parrots, and a house that felt just as we left it. We’re so grateful to have sitters we can truly trust. Thanks, guys — you’re the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chestatee on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,602 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chestatee. 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 Chestatee 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 Chestatee 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 Chestatee 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 Chestatee. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
