“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!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your pets. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dog I will dedicate my time to loving them. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility and availability! I am available for walks, house sittings, and drops ins when needed. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy and comfortable! I love to take them for walks and play time to make sure they are physically and mentally stimulated!
“My dogs were extremely happy and relaxed when I came back home after being in Bri’s care. She took incredible care of them and my apartment was immaculate. She is professional, trustworthy, and interested in learning about your pets to best caew for them and accommodate their routines as much as possible. Highly, highly recommend booking with her.”
“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”

“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.”
“Roldane was absolutely amazing .. with my dogs and with my home. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better experience…she’s wonderful❤️❤️ We had to find someone last minute to stay for a 3 day weekend, as soon as she came by to meet us.. we knew we had made the right choice. I’d give her 10 stars if I could. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Cameryn was awesome with the boys! She jumped in last minute since our sitter canceled last minute— literally saved our anniversary! I definitely recommend— I will be requesting again. Thank you, Cameryn!”
About: I’ve cared for fur babies (cats and dogs) since I was a teenager so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My own pup is 20 years old and has been part of my family since childhood. As her mom, I manage her special diet for pancreatitis, apply eye ointment, and give her arthritis medications on a consistent schedule. It requires a lot of responsibility but seeing her quality of life improve with the right care makes it worth it. Caring for her has taught me to be patient, detailed, attentive, and mindful of each pet’s needs. I’ll bring that same care and love to your babies, following their routines and your instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I am currently a grad student so my mornings are usually busy however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies throughout the week or anytime on weekends. I have more specific details on my schedule below! Monday & Wednesday: 3pm - 10pm Tuesday & Thursday: 5pm - 10pm Fri, Sat & Sunday: 8am - 10pm I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and care needs so I can help them feel safe and comfortable! My experience caring for my senior dog and other pets I have watched has taught me how important consistency and attention to detail are. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure and use a leash for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and tidy. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can stay connected, and contact you promptly if I notice any concerns.
“Zachary did a fantastic job keeping our Eevee company. She does not fair well at the kennel, and is most comfortable staying in our home. We were nervous at first with having a stranger at the house, but Zachary quickly put our mind at ease. We will definitely book again.”
About: I am a 28 year old physical therapist who has a true passion for animals! I have always had at least one four-legged best friend in my home, and couldn’t imagine a life without one! I have several years of experience training puppies, rehabbing dogs after orthopedic injuries and/ or surgeries, as well as caring for senior cats and dogs with various health problems and disabilities that require patience and attention. I am eager to spoil your sweet fur baby with love and affection, long walks in the neighborhood or hours of fetch (whichever they prefer), as well as the occasional homemade, nutrition-packed doggie treats I make for my own pup! If you are looking for a professional, responsible, and active pet sitter/ dog-walker, then look no further— because you have found her! I am currently working full time M-F so am not available to do mid day visits during the week; only weekends and holidays. If your pet cannot go 9 hrs without being let out during the week, then unfortunately I will not be a good fit for you! Although, I am available to give your pet my full attention on weekends and holidays! I am able to spend as much time with your pet in your home as they need! Every pet has their own personality and I can accommodate any temperament and activity level of your pet!
About: I have over 52 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life around pets, including dogs of all sizes, senior animals, anxious pets, injured animals, and pets with medical or special-care needs. I am comfortable caring for giant breeds, administering medications and injections, following special routines, and providing extra attention when a pet needs it. I have cared for pets with conditions such as epilepsy and have experience helping very nervous animals feel safe and comfortable. For example, I once helped care for extremely anxious senior Chihuahuas who were afraid of people, and with patience and consistency, they gradually learned to trust and feel comfortable around us. I am home 24/7, so pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I am very flexible and happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, extra cuddles, unusual habits, or any special instructions their family has. I truly love animals and treat every pet as an individual. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely at home while they are with me. Chances are, by the end of their stay, your pet will think they found a new best friend! I am home 24/7, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, supervision, and care they need throughout the day. Dogs are taken outside for bathroom breaks every 2–3 hours, or more often if needed based on their usual routine. We also have access to a dog park, so dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time can have opportunities to play and burn off energy when appropriate. I am happy to adjust to each pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication, playtime, naps, and any special routines. Because I am home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy lots of companionship, attention, and care while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am home 24/7, so pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs are taken outside every 2–3 hours for bathroom breaks, or more often if needed, and we also have access to a dog park for exercise and playtime when appropriate. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medication needs, and any special instructions. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and medical needs, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual personality.
“Emmy was absolutely wonderful taking care of Oliver while I was away for the week. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She was attentive, dependable, and genuinely cared about making sure Oliver was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. What impressed me most was how often Emmy went above and beyond what I expected. It was clear that she wasn’t simply taking care of him, she treated Oliver like he was her own and made sure he received plenty of attention, affection, and care. Being away from your pet can always be a little stressful, but Emmy gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout the entire week. Knowing Oliver was with someone I could trust allowed me to actually enjoy my time away without worrying about him. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for Oliver, which says everything. I’m incredibly grateful for Emmy and would absolutely trust her with Oliver again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, trustworthy, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you, Emmy, for taking such amazing care of Oliver!”
“Emily did a great job with all our pets. She carefully watch our animals and home to make sure all went smoothly. She sent status updates frequently to make sure we had peace of mind while away.”

We enjoyed having Jordan housesit for us! She took great care of our pet and our home. She sent lots of updates throughout our trip. We enjoyed our time away knowing our little guy was in good hands. We would definitely have her housesit again. Thank you so much Jordan!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Dunwoody is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $89 per night.

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 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.

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.
