“Brianna was awesome. We were lucky to find her on a short notice..Showed up on time. She gave ECHO company while we were gone to dinner. Kept us updated of his status. Thank you Brianna for taking care of ECHO. We will certainly rebook her future needs.”
“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
“Summer is amazing! She took fabulous care of our three dogs (and our house) while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative, and all of our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Ashley stayed with our dog Rose for a week and it was so nice to come back to a house that was well kept over and a happy dog. We’re very thankful for Ashley and will use her again!”
“We had the best experience with Gabriyela! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our boy with her. She sent us frequent updates, it was so nice. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Amazing experience house sitting! As an anxious dog mom, she was very considerate and thorough with the care instructions for our “dawghters”!! Emily also made an effort to cater to what I needed to relax on vacation and sent pictures often while checking in with me twice a day to give updates. She is honest, kind and caring. If you are looking for someone reliable, capable and overall a good caregiver for your own furbabies, Emily should be your number one choice!”
“Khalima helped me with the booking process, and was so sweet to my 2 cats while I was away! You can tell she really cares for animals, and made me feel very comfortable with her pet sitting for me. As she recognizes cats like routine, she stuck to the feeding instructions every time, as well as regular updates and play time, which i’m sure my cats really appreciated :)”
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
“I cannot recommend Doron enough and am so happy we found him! We had a sitter fall through and Doron jumped in last minute to care for our cat. Our cat has daily medication and needed to be monitored while we were away due to a broken tooth, and he ended up needing to be taken to the emergency vet, the regular vet, and put on additional medication while we were away. Doron was so communicative, helpful, and kind through the entire process. We got regular updates and photos, and he put our minds at ease during an incredibly stressful time. It is comforting to know our cat was in the care of someone who goes above and beyond and truly cares about pets. It was clear even from the photos that our cat absolutely loves him as well. We will absolutely be booking with Doron again!”
“Erin was wonderful, she watched our dog for a week and took such great care of her and our home. She was quick to communicate updates and check in photos during her stay. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”
“Aaliyah took great care of our two dogs and home while we were away. She stayed communication with us the entire time and was very easy to work with. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I've been around animals for most of my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I grew up with a family dog who came into my life when I was 7 years old, and helping care for him gave me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily companionship. I also have about a year of experience caring for cats, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time with them to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, so my exact availability shifts day to day, but I'm almost always able to make time for drop-ins, walks, or boarding intakes, even on short notice. I'll confirm timing with you as soon as you reach out so we can find a window that works. The only fixed commitment I have is an evening class on Mondays and Wednesdays, so intakes those nights may need to happen earlier in the day, late that night, or the next morning. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live directly next to a park, providing a convenient and enjoyable place for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or simply exploring at their own pace, they'll have easy access to a great environment. When caring for your pet, I'll be home the entire time to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, so I'll do my best to follow your instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'm also happy to send regular updates and photos throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Kobe, my shihtzu of 10 years, survived with a heart murmur before heart failure kicked in. I spent 6 years giving him medication and a decade fighting him to let me brush his hair and clean his paws after walks. He taught me patience and proper animal grooming! I do have a full time job and my off days vary however, I’m usually available before 3pm on most days for pet sitting & walks as well as drop in visits. Feel free to message me and we can work something out as well! I unfortunately cannot care for pets at my home due to the kids I live with, but I am open to pet sitting in your home. I will abide by your house rules & be respectful, all while still making sure your pet is well taken care of.
“Sahriya is our go to sitter and we’re so grateful to have her! She has open, honest communication and fit us into her schedule when we had to do a last minute request due to work commitments. I can also tell my princess loves to be around her and feels at ease when she’s watching her while we’re at work!”
“Trent was great with our dogs. He was very responsive , kept us updated and shared photos. It was our first time with Trent and he was considerate and followed our dogs schedule with walks, feeding and medicine. Will use him again”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Dunwoody is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunwoody
Sherri was great with Ballard. He is a bit hesitant around new people but she got him to warm up to her. She obviously loves dogs and is good with them. Spent the night at our house with him. Walked him and sent lots of pictures. Left the house immaculate! Will definitely use again.
Victoria was AMAZING!! We were gone for 10 days and a little nervous to leave our pup with a new sitter, but Victoria was phenomenal!! She was so informative and sent lots of pictures. Our dog loved her and was so well taken care of and loved. She left our house spotless and nicer than it was when she arrived! She was the best!
We had never left our senior dog with anyone except family, so I was very nervous using Rover. Trent did a great job with Ginger, getting her outside to potty and getting her to take her meds and eat her food. We will definitely use Trent again if we need someone to watch our sweet old lady!
My husband & I have booked Girishma (G) multiple times and at this point she is our preferred sitter/walker, as in there is no one else we're looking to book! That should explain how wonderful she is at what she does but in case it doesn't please keep reading. Our two pups are not quite ‘pups’ any more and are actually over the age of 10. They move a bit slower nowadays and have some issues we keep a close watch on. Having them wth G is just about the same as them being with us. This is the type of care and attention she applies to dogs that are in her trusted care - she ensure every direction was followed exactly as we outlined and even sought to go above and beyond for their comfort, and ours. We’ve often dropped our dogs off at boarding facilities previously and received many pictures of them active and happy. This is great, but G’s updates showed us the realistic range of our dog’s temperament, especially at their age. There were playful photos but also many where they were relaxed and comfortable. We never had to guess if they were getting enough rest, being overexerted, or if they’d had a chance to hang out at the park or play for the day. She quickly learned our dogs personalities and adapted her care to them. In emergencies, G makes her best effort to accommodate in impossible situations. No-one ever travels across open water wishing to get stuck in the country they’re in—it’s never happened to us previously, but did happen while they were in G’s care. She made every best effort to continue to care for our dogs and give us a realistic solution until we could figure out alternative arrangements and return home. Having never been in that predicament, we continue to be incredibly grateful for G’s pragmatism and genuine heart for what she does…which brings me to who she is. Even in the few months that we’ve gotten to know her, we can attest to her genuine love and enjoyment for dogs. For her, it’s more than just another booking, she takes care of your dogs (whether it’s a walk or longer booking) as if they are her own. I don’t know any dog owner who drops their dog off and doesn’t hope they’ll receive the same love and attention that they would from you if you could be there. [For the humans that’ll interact with G lol] Overall, G is kind, considerate, and also incredibly friendly which makes checkin/checkout and overall communication with her a breeze. If you’re looking for someone that doesn’t just have “availability” but is also the type of person who you can trust to care for your dog in your absence, Girishma is your person.
My pup Albie could not have been in better hands. Cynthia was very communicative while I was away, and the house was spotless and everything well taken care of when I got home. For example, she let me know when my dog randomly freaked out about a noise outside and made sure to comfort him and figure out what was going on. She is such a sweet, interesting person— a true animal lover— and I would definitely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dunwoody on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 4,877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunwoody. 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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.
