“Susan did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with great communication throughout. I came home to a happy girl and an immaculate house. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter and I definitely plan on using her again.”
“Ginger is the best dog sitter we have ever used! Even before arriving, she texted us to let us know that she would be at our rental house an hour before requested to get familiar with our dogs. We have two young rescue dogs who love to play and can be rambunctious and Ginger was loving and gentle with them. She sent pictures each day and also texted to let us know how they were doing. Ginger followed every directive we left and went above and beyond by washing their dishes and toys each day. In addition to taking excellent care of the house and the dogs, Ginger also became our travel agent during our stay and gave us fabulous suggestions on places to visit from Asheville to Cades Cove. One day, we were a little late getting back because we went to one of her suggested sites and I texted her to apologize but Ginger immediately texted me back and said not to worry but to enjoy ourselves. She is a true professional and an incredibly caring person. When we return, Ginger is the only person I trust to watch my fur babies.”
“Nicole was available in short notice to house sit my three dogs. They can be wild at times and she kept them calm. Nicole updated me multiple times throughout the day and took wonderful care of my babies. I would definitely recommend her. I didn’t have to worry while she was caring for them.”
“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“Juliann was fantastic with our pets and our home! She took excellent care of all four pets and was great about sending pictures and updates. And the pets LOVED her! We will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”
“Denisse did a great job dogsitting at our home for our two dogs. She was great at communicating and sent daily updates with photos. One of our dogs is shy with people at first, and within a day he was comfortable with Denisse and had started eating his food again (he tends to not eat when we leave him). She even left printed photos of them and a nice note for us when we got home. I would 100% recommend her!”
About: I grew up with a house full of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds - you name it and we had it. I was always the neighborhood kid who took care of the neighbors pets. As an adult, I’ve had cats and several breeds of dogs, including several who have not been dog-friendly, some who were runners, and one Shepard who I couldn’t ever fully trust with other humans. I’m clean, quiet, and super respectful - full introvert - and I work from home with a relaxed schedule - so all of these things kind of line up for me to pet sit! I’m very professional, I own a company and do all of the work from home and we have a very high reputation for professionalism, which starts with me. I’m also an EMT (I pick up shifts on occasion but never when I’m pet sitting), which means, I take safety and healthy very seriously and you have to pass an intense background check to stay certified (at the FBI level) and so you can rest assured I don’t have a hidden background. I’m also involved in my communities and am on the board of a nonprofit and volunteer for others. My main job is very easy going. I own a company and can work from anywhere I have good wifi. I rarely have virtual meetings that last more than 60 minutes and so I am able to closely monitor and/or walk/bathroom pets. I have EMS commitments on Mondays and occasionally other days- so just reach out and I’ll confirm my schedule. Safety, trust, and respect are some of the most important principles in this line of work and it has been a core part of my life and profession. The company I own is a travel company and we take customers to 35 countries around the world and so I fully understand how valuable safety and trust is. I could go on-and-on about how EMS is rooted in safety and trust, but I think this much is evident. I also take and send pictures daily and know how important good and open communications is.
“Monique was amazing! By the end of our ver dog was eating all her food and wagging her tail so I know she was getting comfortable! Monique communicated with us every day about how the animals were doing and was quick to respond when I had any questions. We're using her for thanksgiving week and I couldn't feel more comfortable leaving my babies with her!”
“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”
“Emily was a wonderful dog sitter, so attentive and so communicative! She took great care of my dog and my place as well! I really value having updates and ongoing communication when I’m leaving my dog with others (especially someone new) and Emily understood the importance of that. Will definitely book her again! Thanks so much Emily! :)”
“Ana did an absolutely amazing job! I will use her in the future and I would recommend her to anyone. She gave incredible updates and she totally blew me away with her communication and dedication to my animals.”
“Laura was wonderful with our dog and 2 cats! Luca is very large and still a puppy, so, it’s not always easy with that combination! Laura was patient and kind! Would definitely like to use her again!”
“With this being our first time using Rover, it was a pleasure to have Charlotte watch over Roy while we were out of town. She sent several photos throughout the weekend and I could tell he had a great time when we came home. We’ve had some friends who were nervous to watch Roy since he’s a big Belgian malinois, but Charlotte was wonderful with him. We will definitely be reaching out to have Charlotte watch him in the future!”
“Beth and her husband Rob took such amazing care of my pups when I was out of town. They were great communicators and sent lots of pictures so I had no doubt my dogs were well loved while I wasn't around. Upon my arrival home, they seemed less anxious than ever before when I'd been out of town. Thanks Beth and Rob for such a great experience!”
“Meghan is a wonderful person as well as an excellent dog sitter! She genuinely cared for Parker and attended to all his needs beautifully. It was fun to get pic updates. She left my house in great shape and her communication was stellar! I’d love to have her stay with my little guy again!🙏”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Etowah
Ginger was with our dog Lily for 12 days and I was super nervous to leave her as I had only used Ginger once before and for one night. Every day I would get text messages and lots of pics from Ginger which made me feel so comfortable and if she had questions she would always ask right away and Lily loved her. I can't say enought about the care Lily received and I was a little hesitant to write this review because I know a lot of people will want Ginger, lolol. I feel blessed to have found her and will continue to use her. Lily thanks her too for caring for her. Thank you Ginger, you went above and beyond.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ginger and the incredible job she did on our wedding day. She took such amazing care of our sweet Lea and made sure she was exactly where she needed to be at every moment. Knowing Lea was in such loving, reliable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry. She went above and beyond—calm, professional, organized, and genuinely caring. Lea was happy, safe, and beautifully included in our special day thanks to her. I am so grateful for her kindness, her attention to detail, and the love she showed our girl. If you’re considering hiring her for any important event or even everyday care, do it. She was truly exceptional, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding day even more perfect. Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Etowah
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Etowah on Rover is $65 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 886 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Etowah. 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 Etowah 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 Etowah 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 Etowah 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.

- 98% 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.
