“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”
“Finn knows your name now and looks for you when we say Tori is coming. He was so excited to see you when he saw you coming up the driveway and on the porch. He was so happy to see you and that makes us very pleased. Thanks again for being you and loving Finn when we are gone.”
About: I have always loved dogs and I have decided that I want to be around dogs in my free time because it makes me happy! I am a soon to be retired school teacher and want to spend my time now with animals especially dogs! For the next 10 months I will be still working my teacher schedule and would like to get a head start on my next venture. I would be available for dog sitting on weekends and dog walks after 3pm during the work week and anytime over weekends. I have always had a dog growing up and very lovingly cared for my own dogs for the last 31 years. I enjoy being around all dogs. When I retire I would also like to volunteer somewhere for dogs. Again, for the next 10 months, I will still be working my teacher schedule and I will be available during the work week after 3 PM for dog walks or drop ins and during the weekend for overnights. I also would be available for some of my school breaks. I have a fenced in backyard and one dog named Lina. She is medium sized and very friendly with other dogs. I would love to love on your fur baby.
“Nora was fantastic with our Great Dane puppy, Apollo! She was very responsive, kept us up to date every day, and had no issues administering Apollo's pills 2x/day. She also left the house just as we left it and washed the sheets before she left. This was mine and my husband's first weekend away in a long time where we didn't feel stressed leaving our dog with a sitter. We would definitely recommend Nora to anyone looking for a stress free getaway and plan to use her services again!”
“Rocky, Luna and Mocha are loved beyond and my home is exactly as I had left it. My chickens are happy! The communication while we were away was outstanding. I have never had a more relaxed trip away knowing my home and animal family is cared for.”
“Faith was amazing with our golden! She sent regular updates and pictures which we loved. Our puppy can be hyper at times but she was so calm and loving with our boy. Will definitely be calling her again. 11/10 recommend 😊”
“Varsha was fantastic and very communicative. She is responsive and took great care of my babies while I was away for the weekend. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Highly recommended using Morgan! We had such a great experience and she took amazing care of our two Pyranees pups! It made such a difference knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to 2 very happy pups! Would definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped neighbors, family members, and friends by pet sitting, dog walking, and providing loving care while they’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you can’t be with them. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide peace of mind for pet parents. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. On days I work from home (which is Monday, Thursday and Friday) I’m able to be present and attentive, and on office days (Tuesdays and Wednesday's) I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care they need. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I treat my mini dachshund like he is my child. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s going for walks, going to the park, playing, providing cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also have a nanny cam that I check in on when I am away. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. As a mini dachshund owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs in my home before and always work to make them feel comfortable by sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and any specific instructions to help their pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: In addition to common dog owner knowledge I am also equipped with exceptional K-9 to human communication skills that will help me make nervous, unsettled, shy, or anxious pets adjust to their temporary lodging. I acquired these skills during 10 years of K-9 protection handling and training education and practice along with 15 years of bodywork with a concentration in myofascial release. I can take pets on short notice for as long as necessary. Your dog(s) will not interact with other dogs while in my care, unless previously discussed. The interior of my 2500 sf home has the space and configuration to allow up to 4 dogs to be separated into their own "living" spaces. Having two of may own, I will only take two dogs as a time. I will provide exceptional care and 24/7 attention. Why I love dog sitting My entire life, personal and professional, has been with dogs afoot. I enjoy discovering their individual personalities. Meet my pets I have two Pomeranians. About my yard Fenced, however I prefer to hand walk client's pets. I am a jogger so if your pet is used to jogging each day for exercise we can make that happen. My experience administering medication I am happy to administer any necessary medications and supplements. I have been doing so for as long as I can remember, IV, IM, topical, and oral. I build my schedule around clients needs. Mine eat at 8 AM and 6 pm and get outside for fresh air and a bio bark every 4-5 hours. In a client's home, I leave absolutely no trace I have ben there. Extreme attention to detail, respect for your environment, and I follow instructions with precision. In my home, I follow the schedule I am given and keep a low and slow approach, giving them space, time, and calm/quiet emotional support to adjust. In both environments you will receive videos, pics, and updates multiple times per day.
“Emma did a great job again. Even Georgia, who usually shy's away from everybody, let Emma pet her. An accident happened and it was cleaned up, couldn't tell where it was. We really appreciate Emma.”
“My dog sitter had an issue the day before. Mary stepped in last minute and saved the day! She took incredible care of nefe and was so gracious to take such a short notice request. Absolutely recommend and will be booking her again! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Payton was the best! She was so sweet and loving to our 2 pups while we were out of town. Her communication was great and she thought of everything. So happy we found her!”
“Sarah was super communicative and made our trip hassle-free. She stayed at our home to watch Big Daddy for the weekend and sent pictures and updates daily. Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. They can be high maintenance at feeding times, but seemed to have done well.”
“Joey did an excellent job staying with my senior pup while I was away from home. Kept me updated, ensured my pup got his medicines, and gave him lots of attention while I was gone. Would book again!!”
“Mackenzie was great! She was on time, communicated well and was super nice. She took great care of our pup and was respectful of our home. Will definitely book her again next time we need a dog sitter!”

Faith is our go-to house sitter when we have a long vacation and want our babies to be well loved and cared for. She sends pics and updates daily, and leaves the house in great shape. She is communicative and personable, and we know our pets are in safe hands with her!
Faith stayed with our animals for a whole week while we were away. While they don’t have a lot of special care needs, they are pretty anxious babies. Having Faith in our home and sending us regular updates made us feel better and we knew they were in good hands. She communicated regularly and asked questions when needed. We came home to happy healthy animals and a clean house! I’d recommend Faith to anyone for pet care :)
Markia was an excellent dog sitter! She provided lots of photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was great from start to finish, and she was very friendly and easy to work with. Most importantly, my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely rebook with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,767 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Etowah Mills. 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 Mills 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 Mills 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 Mills 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.
