“Jessica was very professional, mature, and thorough with updates. She made my dogs comfortable, while being very patient with them. She gave several daily reports and responded to messages quickly.”
“Lori did an excellent job watching over our dog while we were out of town and made sure he was comfortable and that his needs were met. Lori was very attentive to our requests and made notes/sent us regular photos to keep us in the loop about our fur pup. We highly recommend Lori and look forward to requesting Lori’s services again.”
“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”
“Mya was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She communicated with periodic check ins complete with pictures of our fur babies. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and even left us a thoughtful keepsake. Will definitely book her again.”
“Sudensa was great! We have two big German Shepherds and she played with them and walked them every day. She sent me updates and photos, and if she was unsure about anything she reached out to ask questions. I felt super comfortable having her stay with our boys!”
“Stephanie was great with my two dogs! She communicated clearly and I never once had to worry that they were in goods while I was away. I have a high strung working line GSD who insist on lots of play and Stephanie picked up on all her games to keep her entertained inside while it’s too hot outside. Already have another stay planned!”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”
“Cindy was a great sitter for Tippy! He is a very anxious dog. She was patient with him and waited until he came to her. She worked with him to get him to eat while I was gone. I highly recommend Cindy! She worked with me when I had to leave a day early. She came in and took care of things.”
“Kasianay was fantastic! She provided detailed updates and took meticulous care of my fur baby, treating her as though she was her own. I felt very confident that my cat was in excellent hands! She also made sure my place was spic and span before I returned to town. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“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 ❤️”
“I was so anxious about leaving my dog with a sitter because he can be a handful and I adopted him from a shelter less than a year ago. I was afraid he would not like someone else, he can be very stand-offish when he wants to be. Samantha did great with him!! He could tell she was comfortable with him and wouldn’t be intimidated by him. The week went so well and I was so relieved that I could enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use her again and refer her to friends.”
“Our dogs love Summer and she takes great care of the house. She left a Mother's Day card for me with a hand drawn picture of our fur babies on it - love it! She does a wonderful job and we'll be having her stay with our dogs again.”
“Petra was AMAZING! We haven't been able to travel because of not having anyone that we trusted to watch out babies. Petra was the BEST! We have a senior dog that has some issues recently and she took the best care for him. Our kitties were well loved as well. Petra communicated daily and was a delight to talk to. Thank you so much for giving us the break we needed. Will be booking with Petra again! Thank you so much!”
“Our dogs loved Jayne! Our crew of 3 has only lived together since June, and didn’t do as well with a different sitter over Labor Day. We booked Jayne and had a great first impression at the Meet and Greet. She was very thorough, knowledgable, and friendly. Our 13-year-old mini Aussie has been struggling with food recently and has gone on a few hunger strikes. She refused to eat under the care of our last sitter at all, and protested her food for a day or so after we returned. With Jayne, she ate on the first day with only a little bit of reluctance. Jayne sent us loads of pictures and updates, including ones about the medication our mini Aussie needed. She spent a lot of time warming up to our dogs. Our chihuahua mix loved her and spent a lot of time cuddling. Our pointer mix also had a great time playing with some toys she brought. We will definitely be booking Jayne again.”
“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”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Douglasville
Absolutely wonderful booking! Everything was well cared for, communication was easy, and I came home to happy animals and the house just as I left it. Reliable, thoughtful, outstanding communication and someone I’d happily trust with my home again. Highly recommend!
Not quite sure how to fully explain the peace we find leaving our family pets in Lori’s care. It is so hard to leave them when we have to travel but Lori is such an amazing care giver, the dogs actually get super excited when they see her. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with their care, and it’s hard to imagine what we’d do without her.
Riley stayed with Dr. Teeth at our place for a few days over the holidays and she was wonderful. She very communicate, responsible, and respectful, she also made sure to send updates and pictures daily. She made great progress with our skittish baby in just a few days. We’re definitely going to use Riley again in the future and would recommend her to anyone especially the skittish babies out there.
Tamera did a great job caring for our pups while we were on vacation. She kept me updated the whole trip and made sure they were well cared for! Our house was just as we left it when we returned. One of our dogs hurt herself while we were gone and Tamera has continued to check on her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Douglasville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,870 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Douglasville. 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 Douglasville 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 Douglasville 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 Douglasville 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.
