“Jessica is incredible, detail oriented, and gave us huge peace of mind while traveling across the country. We have 4 animals and she took such amazing notes at our meet and greet that I immediately felt comfortable with her. It was our first time having someone house/pet sit for us for so many days in a row. I loved getting updates on my babies all week!”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing. She sends adorable pictures and videos consistently. This was my first time having a non family member take care of our dogs so it was nerve wracking but Morgan gave us so much piece of mind. My skittish chihuahua dachshund (who typically takes days to get used to people) climbed right in her lap! She was also wonderful to our elderly 3 legged dog! I 100% recommend her and she is now out go to sitter!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 18. It started out as me needing extra money for college and eventually I saw a need for pet sitting services. I do have a pup of my own (he is 3) and a little boy. Rest assured your pup/cat will be in great hands. 🐶 I currently work remotely in tech which allows me the flexibility to tend to your baby/babies 24/7. I do go to the gym in the morning for about an hour and sometimes have to run to Target for a pick-up order, so that is the only time they will be left alone. I do not keep anyone’s dog/cat caged unless otherwise directed to do so. I am available for overnight/daytime services. I am here to meet your need(s). Multiple pets accepted. TIA 🐶 🐱 I have a fenced backyard, so our furry friends are free to roam around as they please. You can rest assured that your pet will be fed, at least twice a day (morning & night) unless on a specific diet/regimen that will be followed to a T and let out at least every 1-2 hours. I do have bowls/toys that your baby can play with, you would just need to provide their food.
“Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!”
“Chloe was great! She was able to help us out on short notice and make adjustments as needed. We have a dog that is slightly aggressive with people entering the home and she handled it perfectly even when he gave her some issues. She kept us updated throughout the stay and wasn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend Chloe to friends!!”
“Joalice is a reliable and compassionate pet sitter! I am always at ease knowing she is looking after my pets and home while I am out of town. I will continue to use her as long as I can!”
“Sherry is amazing! She took such good care of our pup, River! She sent pictures and updates the whole time we were gone! We've already asked for her again! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a loving sitter for your fur babies.”
About: I've loved dogs all my life from my first, as a child, to my current, Niko. Niko and I have been together for 11 years. He is the second dog to my first, Chance. Chance was with me for 15.5 beautiful years before he passed in 2023. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and I'm so ready to love on your babies. I've been encouraged for years to do something like this and now is the time to do it. I hope I get to meet your little family. I'm currently changing direction in my career. I've worked in retail for over 20 years and I am no longer interested in being in a store setting. While I transition, I would love to dive into this passion of mine. I will have open availability while in this transition. I follow the directions of the pet owner if I'm in their home and if no specific direction is given, I treat the pet as my own. I have cared for pets in my home as well and if no specific direction is given, I follow the routine of my own pet.
“I cannot overstate just how fortunate we got with connecting with Bennett. Had to find someone for a VERY last minute weekend stay for our small dog and two kitties. He was very responsive from the very beginning. Accommodated us by coming for a meet and greet even though it was short notice and stayed in constant contact with updates and pictures. Anyone who’s been in this situation will know exactly how much appreciation I have for being able to entrust my babies to someone like Bennett. I’m already booking him for another stay and wholeheartedly recommend him to watch yours!”
“Dan was fantastic with our two pups! They were very happy and well taken care of when we got home and the house was spotless. Dan sent pictures and updates which was very appreciated. We will absolutely use Dan again!”
About: As a senior pup owner myself (historically), I know how important patience, gentle care, and routine are for older pets. Whether it’s preparing special diets, giving medications, or just offering extra comfort and love, I treat every pet like family. I welcome pets of all ages—puppies, seniors, and everyone in between—because every pet deserves compassionate, personalized care. Along with pet care, I also work a full time remote job. This flexibility allows me to be there when your pet needs me most—whether it’s a midday potty break, a last-minute walk, or extended care. Within my home, your pet’s comfort comes first. They can be crated or uncrated based on what makes them feel safe and happy. I do ask that you bring their prefered crate, toys, food and dishes
“Mikayla was fantastic! I was immediately put at ease during our meet and greet, and while we were gone she was so communicative and sent great pictures each day. Our big cat Sampson loved her and she even managed to win over our super shy little one, Ann Perkins. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Excellent pet/house sitter. I know my cat Sean was so well taken care of and my home was left absolutely picture perfect. Getting pictures of Sean while gone was a bonus that made me feel secure and happy. I know I will be using Kira again in the future, great job”
“Ariel was an absolute delight. We met her prior to the visit and could tell right away it would be a great couple of days. We left two pages of notes and it didn't bother her one bit 😆 Super professional. She showed our babies all the same love they're used to.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Shih Tzus. I currently have a Chihuahua of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and will treat your dog like family while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s specific routine and needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine.
About: I think im good at reading animals, they communicate if you just look at signs like body language, temperament, habits. I think the biggest thing is just patience. My schedule varies im just trying to put in where i can fit things in ya know what i mean? If supply meets demand then great! If there in my home, my biggest concern is making sure they cant eat anything there not supposed to eat make sure they cant chew on any wires either.
“I can’t say enough about how great Dana was with my fur baby, Milan! She made Milan feel comfortable and loved. She communicated often about how things were going and made sure both I and Milan were comfortable. I’m very pleased with my first Rover experience here in a new city!”
“Brandi is a pet sitting gem! We have two pups with big personalities, and she was patient, reliable, and adaptable. She communicated every step of the way. She maintained professionalism but also loved them like they were her own. Yuna and Bumi hope to see Brandi again soon!”

Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!
Khaleigh was great! We always feel nervous leaving our pets and she helped us feel relaxed and comfortable with them in her care. She was able to follow our instructions for 6 pets (3 cats and 3 dogs) including medication administration, senior dog care, and mobility assistance. She communicated with us and we felt they were very safe and cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lithonia is $20 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $50 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 October 2026, there are 4,176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lithonia. 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 Lithonia 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 Lithonia 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 Lithonia 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
