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.
“I've had Lori to come in and walk my dogs for me about 2 or 3 times but this is my first house sitting experience with Lori and she did a great job with keeping me updated on walks, feedings, and taking pictures, though I was busy on vacation, however, when I had time to check my phone a message in and pictures of the fur babies were waiting. 10out of 10 recommend for whatever family/pet care needs.🥰👍🏽”
“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”
“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 ❤️”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that our pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to providing the same care, love, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, rest, and plenty of companionship. I have experience caring for senior pets, special-needs pets, and puppies, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I truly believe that time spent with an animal is a privilege. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have open availability so frequency of visits will not be an issue. Tell me the time and place and I will make it happen. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. I am respectful of their established routines and will do my best to keep their day-to-day schedule consistent while you’re away. I also have no problem administering medications as needed and will follow all instructions carefully. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. * No problem administering medications as directed * Respectful of your pet’s routines and daily schedule * Patient, attentive, and dependable in every aspect of care
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She kept me informed daily of their activities and Sam’s reaction to having someone else taking care of her. This was my first time to use a sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased. She’s a wonderful communicator and treated my pet as if she were her own. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Amaya was great with my dog Maddie, who is a very strong pit bull. I also appreciated her willingness to accommodate my schedule even though it meant arriving early one morning and staying late one night.”
About: Hey guys! I’m an Army Veteran with 20 years of dog care experience. I have two dogs myself and trained my Cane Corso puppy to be a Service Dog. I understand that our dogs are our family. I am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets! I am currently in school and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can accommodate any schedule and facilitate whatever you or your pet needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy. Whether I have your pets in my home or yours, you will receive adequate communication and pictures so you can rest easy knowing that your pet is in good hands. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own.
“Was absolutely great to have at the house! Cleaned up after themselves and my cats were pretty happy! She sent lots of pictures and my cats looked like they had a super fun time 💗”
About: **Update I was doing this at my house in Vegas so pics are all of that, but just moved here to Atlanta, I have a large fenced backyard and big cozy house to help make your pets feel at home** I grew up with many dogs and cats at home. Love all animals. Very good with them. I have no current animals of my own, but would love to be friends with yours. Im home most all day except for about an hour or two each day so have lots of space and time for some animal buddies to hang out with. I have a fenced front and a fenced back yard, and a kennel if needed, also have a couple spare bedrooms so if any animals need seperating i can do that also, but I try to let everyone wander as long as they all get along. Have no pets currently, but love all animals. Also great with house sitting, I fix houses for a living, so great at taking care of them too, could even fix an item or two if you were needing something small done while I tend your animals and house.
“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.”
“We’ve used Genna a couple of times for housesitting our dogs and she has been great. Good communication and photos/updates which help make us feel more at ease while we are away knowing that the dogs are in good hands. Our dogs can be a handful around strangers, but both took to her quickly and she was very good with them. We would definitely use Genna’s services again.”
“Kasianay was great with our two dachshunds. She sent several updates and photos a day and left the house clean. She even got our anti social dog to like her. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m definitely the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things! 🐾 I know every dog has their own personality—some want to play all day, some want all the cuddles, and some need a little time to warm up to you. I’m patient and let them get comfortable at their own pace. As a dog mom myself, I have hands-on experience with everyday dog care, including feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping an eye out for changes in behavior or how a dog is feeling. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra potty breaks, playtime, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m big on communication too, so expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! 📸🐶 I want you to feel like your pup is hanging out with someone they know, not just being “watched.” Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! 🐾 I work during the week, but I have flexibility in the evenings and more availability on weekends. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention because I have a pup of my own. I’m especially available for evening drop-ins, walks, and weekend care. I like staying active, so having a furry walking buddy is honestly a bonus for me 😂🐶. I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your pup the attention they deserve without making them feel rushed! I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible because I know how much dogs love their routines! 🐶 I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and of course plenty of love and attention. When pets stay with me, I make sure my home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I keep anything they could get into out of reach, make sure doors are secure, and always keep an eye on them—especially when they’re getting used to a new environment. I also have a pup of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable around each other. When I’m in your home, I’m just as careful and respectful. I’ll make sure doors are locked, your pup is secure, and your home is left the way I found it. And of course, expect plenty of pictures and little updates along the way! 📸🐾 Whether your dog wants to play all day or considers napping a full-time job 😂, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Emma was wondferful taking care of Kelsey while I was overseas and not easy to get ahold of. I had no concerns at all about he abilities. She was completely dedicated to taking care of him and not leaving the house much, staying with him since he has seperation issues since he's a rescue. Emma made quick friendship with him, brought him goodies and toys, walked and ran him often. We hope to have more visits with Emma in the future. She's super sweet and responsible and we enjoyed having her as our sitter.”
“Paola was great with our two cats and little dog! She kept the house super clean and messaged me pictures of the pets throughout when we were gone. I would definitely book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,780 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 , 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.
