“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“Chas was a wonderful house-sitter and pet watcher! We returned home to super relaxed, happy pets and a clean home...and communication throughout our trip was exactly what we were looking for in order to rest assured that all was well. What a treat to go away and know that your pets and home are in good hands! Thank you, Chas!”

About: I love animals and have always had a dog plus some fun family pets like gerbils, turtles, fish, chickens, a goat, and a cockatiel! I often care for my children’s pets when they are out of town: Mini Golden Doodle, Great Dane, Pitbull, Rottweiler, and a Lab with puppies. I’m comfortable providing your pet with any medications or following special instructions, because I know how important their health is to you. I’d be happy to care for any of your animals. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and can make most anytime work. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Currently, I am only taking 1 dog at a time unless they are from the same family. I have a fenced backyard for your dog to play in, a nice neighborhood to go for walks, and I currently have no pets at home.
“Lindsay was great to work with! We had her house sit while out of town. She left the place the way she found it, sent pics, and kept us updated. Will absolutely use her again!!”
“Justin was so professional and communicative. Our pets all have special needs above average, and he was attentive to those details and kept me updated on how the needs were handled without me having to ask. We will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I became a teenager. I’ve also house sat in addition to pet sat for 8 years now, and have reliable references. Pet sitting is currently a side gig alongside my full time job, but I’d love to help with any pet care I can! I currently work 9-6 M-F at a daycare, so I will have mornings and evenings (plus a lunch break from work) and weekends to check in, feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pet. I ensure leads and harnesses are properly put on pets when walks are needed, I ensure a clean house so that pets do not eat anything off the floor, tables, countertops, etc., I ensure doors are locked at all times
“Amanda was amazing!! Harley immediately loved her. I felt extremely comfortable with Amanda staying at our home and caring for our girl! Will definitely be reaching out in the future! 🙂”
“Great companions both canine and human for our doggies! They have a nice backyard for dogs to enjoy. We had a dog on medication and with special eating needs, and Sierra accommodated. Communication and photos were consistent.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Oglethorpe is $46
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Oglethorpe
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!
I cannot recommend Maddison highly enough! She took incredible good care of my dogs while I was away, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands.She stayed at my home, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and kept everything clean and well-maintained. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved the attention and care they received. She aslo sent pics and was great at communicating while I was away! Will definitely be using Maddison again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Oglethorpe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Oglethorpe on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 474 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 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.

- 95% 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.
