“Lauren was wonderful! She was extremely responsive, thoughtful, and considerate of what I was comfortable with and what I wanted out of Hope’s stay. I absolutely loved all the updates and pictures she sent, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She even left our house better than she found it! Hope can be a bit of a nervous dog, but she seemed so happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home. It was such a great feeling knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Lauren and would happily book with her again!”

About: I've done in-home pet sitting for the past 10 years for friends and family. I think it is so much easier on you and your fur baby to stay in their own environment while you are away. I have volunteered at McCamey Animal Shelter working with both cats and dogs. I am reliable, responsible and aprovide attentive care. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you'll alway know how your furry family members are doing. I'm availble for short term visits or extended stays. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pets individual needs. I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. All in your pets familiar surroundings, which helps reduces stress and keeps their routine as consistent as possible. I take great pride in caring for my clients’ homes and leaving them as I found them. I deeply respect your privacy and never snoop through personal rooms, belongings, or containers. If I need to find something that isn’t easily accessible, I’ll always ask first. I also respect boundaries around appliances, dishes, electronics, and anything else you prefer I not use. I’m quiet, responsible, and not a party person. I don’t drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs, and I never invite guests into a client’s home. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I would want to find it when returning home.

About: Accepting last minute bookings. 💕 Full time work from home, looking after your pet is my full time job! Professional house & dog sitter & cleaner 🏡 I have experience in house sitting and animal care while owners are on vacation or out of town. I have experience in watering plants and general upkeep & house cleaning. Located in Saint Elmo 🏔 ❤️ Exercise and fresh air is very important to me, so I can assure you that your dog will get plenty of exercise, sunshine, and fresh air! Have a fenced in back yard & close to walking trails. Plenty of frisbees and tennis balls. 🎾 I only take 1 client at a time to ensure quality time and no overcrowding. My family’s had dogs for about 12 years now, and I love taking care of them. I recently got my own dog 12 years ago, and it was the best decision of my life. I don’t view looking after a dog as a job, I look at it as a joy! ❤️ I also help participate in fundraising/crowd funding to help dogs and dog families in need. I strongly believe that all dogs deserve to be loved, no matter the case. I am a professional belly scratcher, pro fetcher, and and exceptional walker. I love getting exercise just as much as they do. My dog is very high strung and hyper, so I can handle “overly energized” dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs. Thanks for reading, I look forward to meeting your dogs! I take this very seriously, and I will ensure to keep you constantly updated with pictures! I am home quite often so I have created a schedule with the pups to keep them entertained and energized. Plenty of potty breaks and tennis balls. My home has a fenced in yard on a piece of land. This property is completely secure and safe, plenty of room to run and play.

About: I’m a student at UTC and I’ve loved watching animals since I was little. I’ve never done official dog sitting but, I have dealt with all type of animals from foster programs mostly for years. I always strive to be attentive and careful when I care for any animals, especially someone else’s. I believe there’s always new things to learn with animals because each one is unique. This is one of the many reasons I love taking care of them! I only have my classes for college in my schedule usually. I have 1-2 classes a day so in most cases I can fit anything into my schedule. My dorm doesn’t allow animals in the building. Although I’m very dutiful and can assure you, whatever rules you have set in your home I can follow.

About: I have always loved animals and have helped take care of our family pets basically my whole life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and am often trusted to dog-sit my cousins dog while they are away. I’m willing to help with anything you may need! I’m currently a freshman in college, so I have plenty of time outside of school to help care for your animals! My class schedule depends on the day, but I am free every evening and all day on weekends. When caring for animals in their own home, i prioritize their safety, comfort, and familiar routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty time, playtime, and any medications or special requirements. I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep potentially hazardous items out of reach, and respect your home and belongings. I also provide many pets and affection, as well as patience for nervous or shy animals.

About: I am comfortable staying overnight as well as ensuring your animals feel comfortable with me. I have been professionally walking my friend’s dog five days a week for two years now. I will make sure to stick to their normal routines, so they are less stressed. I hope I can give your animals lot of love and pets! Im usually available, but even at my job—I am still able to drop in around my lunch. So I’ll make sure to drop in as much as possible I am not able to keep any animals at my home due to me not renting or owning a home ( I’m a college student ).

About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was fifteen. I have pet sat for family, friends, neighbors and family friends. I have been is charge of reptiles, fish chickens, guinea pigs, horses, hermit crabs, cats and dogs. I love all kinds animals and love adding to pet sitting photo box on my phone. I take pictures of all the pets that I watch. I was a kennel technician for a year and four months at a veterinarian office. I have watched multiple dogs at one time. The most I have watched is three. However when I was a kennel tech I was in charge of a lot. I have my own transportation and loving animals is one of my passions in life and always will be. I do have a full time job however, most of my clients have no problem with me staying at their house while pet sitting. However, it's all up to whatever you want to do. If you prefer I can also drop in and take care of them as well. I have no trouble doing both jobs. Your pup will get plenty of time with me still and it will be properly taken care of. I have been house/pet sitting for some time now and have had no problems at it. I make sure that I have plenty of time to take care of everything that needs to be done. In your house I will treat them like my own. Every pet that I watch becomes a part of my own in a way. I will love on them, take them for walks, or to the park if that is what your wanting. If you have a less active pup no worries we will have a chill time just taking it easy.

Allie was amazing and took care of Bruno with care and attention. He got a lil tummy ache but she cared for him with care. I’m especially glad she has vet tech experience and it made me feel more confident. I would recommend Allie for all your pet needs.

So grateful for Melissa jumping in last minute to help us out. Never have used Rover before so was hesitant to get a stranger to look after our pups, but Melissa was relaxed yet attentive immediately from the moment I met her. The girls weren’t anxious at all upon us getting home and that’s saying a lot. Will definitely be using Melissa again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Oglethorpe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Oglethorpe is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $83 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 479 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Oglethorpe. 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 Fort Oglethorpe 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 Fort Oglethorpe 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 Fort Oglethorpe 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Oglethorpe. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
