About: I work from home, have a fenced in backyard, a flexible schedule, and only take one family at a time. I have experience with animals across the lifespan from bottle-fed kittens to senior dogs, special needs pets, and a variety of different animals. I've had pets my whole life: cats (kittens and seniors), dogs (puppies and seniors), birds, fish, and even a domestic rat named Mortimer. I am the first person my friends and family ask to pet sit, because their animals love me, and I love them like my own. I used to foster for a pet rescue and had 10 cats at one point. They were all well taken care of and somehow they all got along! I even fostered a paraplegic cat who I took to physical therapy and had to help him eliminate manually, and a diabetic cat who I had to give insulin injections to. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows for plenty of playtime in the fenced in backyard, cuddles, and walks in our quiet cul-de-sac community. My goal is to provide affordable, reliable care for those who may need to be away from their fur babies during the day or during travel, and want a safe, loving, fun place for them to stay. I have a fenced in back yard and a quiet community, perfect for daytime dog care or boarding. My 7 year old daughter loves animals and is a good helper. Between the two of us, your pet will never be bored or lack for companionship. When caring for dogs, they must be good with children and I would like to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I prefer to pet sit one animal at a time, or one family at a time (if the family has multiple pets). I prefer not to have animals from different families at the same time, to avoid causing stress and discomfort for the animals.
“Alyssa did a great job watching our pup while we were out of town for a few days. She sent us pictures everyday. She checked up on our pup as agreed, we’ll definitely ask her to watch our Little Lailah in the future.”
“Carole was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our 1.5-year-old rescue puppy and our 11-year-old cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was friendly, reliable, and consistently sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Carole spent quality time caring for and playing with our puppy, making sure his energy and needs were met, while also being respectful of both pets’ unique personalities and boundaries—especially important for our older cat. It was clear she truly cares about animals and takes the time to understand them individually. We would highly recommend Carole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and we”

“Charlotte is the absolute best. She was so kind to come over and meet “Scar” before we left for our trip since this was our first time having a dog sitter.

I will absolutely book with them again. They were also incredibly friendly and kept us updated on her. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Danielle stayed with our boys for a week over 4th of July. It was during the heat wave and our AC was having a hard time keeping up. She ensured us that the animals were cool and comfortable throughout her stay!”
“Jiselle was wonderful! We have two big crazy pups that can be a lot and she was great with them. She was on time and sent daily updates with pictures of what they did that day. It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jiselle in the future!”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”

She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all!

About: ✨✨✨As a THANK-YOU, first-time clients who book 3+ days will receive a small surprise keepsake featuring their pet at the end of their booking! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ For over 2 years I have worked as a Kennel Assistant at various companies and I now currently work at Woodstock Pet Resort! I love working with animals and have the trainings needed to care for your furry animal. At my job, I feed and medicate animals, watch for body language, and monitor over 25 dogs at a time during day care. I work part time at Woodstock Pet Resort. So, when I’m not scheduled to work, I leave my availability for my Rover clients. Working with pets is something that comes naturally to me now and is something that just clicks with me. :) I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I make sure they have fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep the home clean and send tonssss of photos so owners know their pets are doing well. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to make pets feel calm and cared for in their own environment. I love working with dogs with high energy and making sure they end the day sleepy! I have also felt with more anxious dogs, like ones scared of thunderstorms. I know it is not easy, but I am willing to slow down, match their pace and do what’s needed, to make them feel as at peace as possible.
“Abigail is was great. This was my first time using someone I didn’t know to watch my dogs and it ended up being a wonderful experience. Abigail was very responsive and made me feel at ease. Would definitely recommend!”
“Mark was absolutely amazing with our dog. He sent us photos throughout the weekend and updated us on how he was doing. Due to our dog being a little uncertain of new people, Mark even offered to come meet him ahead of time for peace of mind. We will absolutely be using him again!!”

I have 2 shy cats, and she did great with them! I get picky about who I leave my cats with, so I was nervous at first, but MacLaren was great and my girls liked her too. Followed all instructions, communicated quickly, and sent updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter.
Jennifer and Jason were amazing! They were the perfect duo. Our boxer/pitt mix can be intimidating to some people but they came and instantly made our girl feel safe. I will absolutely book with them again. They were also incredibly friendly and kept us updated on her. I would recommend them to anyone!
Alyssa was so wonderful with our three dogs! We were nervous about having a new sitter and she took to them like a duck takes to water. We received so many photos that perfectly captured the essences of each. They looked like professional photos! We will definitely be booking with Alyssa again!
Charlotte is the absolute best. She was so kind to come over and meet “Scar” before we left for our trip since this was our first time having a dog sitter. She took care of our pup for a long weekend and consistently sent us pictures and updates on how our girl was doing. We could tell Scar had a great time when we got home.

This is our second time using Kaylan and we were so glad she was available. She has been responsive to our requests and communicates well. She sends pictures and updates which we love! Our pup has a new BFF! Lol. I highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!
Amanda took wonderful care of our fur baby, Frodo Baggins, while we were out of town for spring break. She made sure he was fed, walked, and received his medication on schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, it meant so much to know he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We also came home to a clean, welcoming space, which was such a thoughtful touch. Amanda went above and beyond, and we will absolutely be calling her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kennesaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kennesaw on Rover is $42 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 4,388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kennesaw. 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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw 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 Kennesaw 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.

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.
