“Samantha did a great job watching our stubborn English Bulldog. She’s reliable and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for 8 days. Our pup has some behavioral quirks but Samantha was patient and did not have any issues caring for her. We came back to a calm and relaxed pup. Our home was also left clean. Thank you Samantha!”
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”
“Peyton is just wonderful! She did overnights with 3 of my dogs while we went to the beach. I couldn’t be happier! It was so nice to have the peace of mind that the dogs were well cared for. Peyton sent pictures every day, gave me updates, and even brought treats for the dogs! If you hire her, your pets will be in such good hands. I would definitely hire Peyton again in the future!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been caring for the pets of family and friends since I was 14. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same care and attention I give my own! As a current grad student, I maintain a structured schedule and prioritize being reliable and organized with my commitments. I plan my availability in advance to ensure I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets’ routines and needs! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following their normal routines and respecting their individual needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I keep pets in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide plenty of attention and affection, and communicate with owners to keep them updated while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
About: I have one cat and had two beautiful dogs growing up. I’m a great listener to instructions and would love to help u help ur pets! I'm very flexible and I'm excited to get exercise everyday and make some money. My routine ebbs and flows but in my spare time this is what I would like to do and I'm very excited to do this! My cat, Scarlett, is an indoor outdoor cat. I clean her litter box every day and feed her everyday in the morning. I also play, groom, and take her to her vet.
About: I’m that friend that you know you can trust with your furry child. I love animals more than humans honestly. I have a big space of empathy for animals and love on each one as if they can feel my energy. Because they can. I’m currently free 24/7 so it won’t be difficult at all to make room for furry friends in my daily routine. My job is to make music and I create my own schedule. I always carry myself with the mentality that I leave a space better than I found it. I definitely have slight OCD so I’ll always make sure things are tidy and safe for your furry child.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from small lap dogs to large breeds with high energy and specific care requirements. I am comfortable following detailed routines, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have experience administering medications, including pills, and caring for dogs with special needs, such as senior dogs, those recovering from injuries or surgeries, and pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. I understand the importance of consistency and paying close attention to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a ROTA schedule for work right now, one week I am fully off and the next I work 3-9pm Monday - Friday and weekends 1030-7. If we can work around it or it’s the week I have off I’d love to help out! However your animals will be top priority when I am available. The care for your furry friend will depend on what they are used to. I follow the guidelines that you have set in place so your animal feels safe and taken care of!
“Stacie is fantastic! She house sat our two young large energetic dogs with ease. She is a good communicator, responding quickly and also sending updates and photos. I recommend Stacie with no reservation and will be reaching out to her for all my future house-sitting needs.”
About: Hello! I’m Logan and I live in Loganville, Georgia. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have previously worked at a dog and cat kennel in Loganville for 3 years and have been a Rover user for around 8 years while also doing private caregiving for many pets throughout my life from Dogs/Cats, Birds, Horses and Goats, Chickens, Reptiles..You name it! When it comes to my property, I have a trail in the woods behind my home that my family has cleared. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs love! Furthermore, I am experienced with administering medications to many different kinds of animals. Personally, animals speak to my soul and are the best stress relievers and that’s why I love my job. I hope I can be of assistance to those who love their furry family members and I am always available to chat or you can call me at anytime through the Rover app. I have just recently graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College with a History Degree. I am currently looking to begin a career so until then, I will be at the house everyday to care for client’s pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and I have over an acre of land. A portion of my land is completely fenced in for pets to run around in. I care for my client’s pets by feeding, playing with, walking/running/exercising with pets and making sure they have everything the need. Overall it’s a fun time with all furry friends while also maintaining proper care and abiding by any requests that clients have provided.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ila
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 492 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ila. 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 Ila 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 Ila 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 Ila 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.
