“Ava is wonderful. We all loved her, especially Lily! Ava sent pictures of her time with Lily and was so kind and sweet to deal with. I highly recommend Ava to the pet owners of Northeast Georgia.”
“Taylor has watched our rambunctious dog Maggie in our home twice (both times for multiple days). He and Maggie have an excellent rapport. They clearly enjoy each other's company! An added plus - Taylor kept the house extremely neat and clean. We will definitely call him again anytime we need to go away.”
About: I Love dogs with all my heart. I have taken care of dogs since I was 10yo. I can walk your pet, play and do what he needs. I’m currently part time working, so I have a lot of available time, when I can help you. I’m also available for weekends any time I live in a pet friendly apartment building ( 2 bedroom). Around the building I have a big area with grass for walk and play.
“I am new to the Blue Ridge area and had been spoiled rotten by my regular dog sitter back in Arizona. But I have to say Judy has become my new sitter with whom my dogs get spoiled rotten. She is very attentive. Received daily updates and pictures regularly (2-3 times a day). Anytime she had a question just asked. Watered my plants, and even did the sheets and towels before we got home. The dogs were very happy with her both through activities outside and her attentiveness while staying in our home. One of our pups had a bit of a limp and she helped us try to care for her until we were home. Found out once home she now has arthritis. But Judy was there taking full care of our dogs. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Will definitely be hiring again if available. Dogs had a great time and she was extremely caring and attentive with them. Never had a problem getting a hold of her and got photo updates!”
About: Growing up we had 5 dogs and I’ve never looked back. I have watched friends and family inpets while on vacation, taken them on walks/hikes, and just dropped by to let them out or feed them during the day. I’ll treat your pet like my own while I’m with them and communicate with you plus photos (everyone likes to get a picture of their pet happy) I am currently a stay at home mom whose son is in school. We are looking to make an extra income to support vacations and activities. I currently have open availability as my husband can help with my son. I currently have 3 dogs (2 dachshunds and a boxer mix) at home with a fenced in yard. We do have crates if they need to be put up at all. I am available to come to your house as well to dog sit if needed!
“After the very first time Terri spent a few hours with our 7 year old lab with severe hip dysplasia we knew she could care for him just as well as well do. It's very evident she LOVES dogs! After we returned from our first long weekend away, we knew our fur boy would always be in good/skilled hands.”
“Stevie stayed in my home with Miley and Parker for four days and took incredible care of both of them. She made sure they received all of their medications, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave them so much love and attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and a house that was just as I left it. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'll be booking Stevie every chance I get... so get in line! 😊”
“Sherri did an excellent job taking care of our pup and kitten. She was on time, provided sweet photo updates and took great care of our home. We would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Frank is the best and our Bella took to him instantly. He sent us updates with pictures of how she was doing while we were away. It's so nice to be able to leave our dog in her own home with excellent care. We found our home exactly as we left it. Thank you Frank!”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was able to walk. Household always had anywhere from 2-9 dogs at once ranging all age ranges from week old puppies and 16 year old cuddle bugs. Breeds range from small to extra large. Me and my wife currently have two Cane Corsos, a frenchton, and boston terrier beagle mix in the family. I am currently working part time and have plently of hours throughout the weekday and weekends where i can provide company, playtime, walks, or even house sitting. Schedules are most important for dogs to feel comfortable and less anxious. I would adhere my best to the owners timelines and Schedule to help make sure their fur babies stay as stress free as possible and living happy long lives!
About: I worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years. I also worked at a dog training facility for a year. I know it’s hard to leave your fur baby behind but I can promise you that they will be safe and definitely loved! I just had a baby and not able to work in the moment. So I’m up early in the morning and up late at night so I’m very flexible! Well I will have to have my baby with me ( just a warning). But I normally treat them as my own. I will walk them every 2-3 hours then I’m there. If the owner has any schedule I follow the schedule or any instructions. I do normally send pictures and videos of the fur baby to the owner and keep them updated with everything.
“Yolanda did an excellent job keeping Evan at the very last moment’s notice. I felt assured and comfortable with her and knew she would take great care of my fur baby. She was wonderful and I will definitely use her services again.”
“Amanda was great! She is clearly experienced with big, strong dogs and handled ours with confidence and ease. We especially appreciated how much she walked our dog. It made a big difference. On top of that, she is very personable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have had experience caring for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, rats, and guinea pigs. I am comfortable with the day-to-day care and routines that come with looking after different types of pets. Former IT professional turned stay at home dad. Full time availability give or take a few odd hours here and there. Happy to provide pet services of any kind of Forested property - so barks aren’t an issue. I have a fenced in yard as well as crates that could be used as needed as well as plenty of rooms so everyone can have their own space.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and caring for animals has always been a core part of my life. Alongside long-term sitting experience, I have a strong background in both the veterinary and farm industries, giving me hands-on knowledge of animal behavior, health, and safety across a wide range of species and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, and keeping a calm, attentive eye on subtle changes in behavior. From energetic puppies and senior pets to anxious animals who need a little extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make your animals feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I prioritize, not squeeze in. I structure my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Because I have long-term experience in both veterinary and farm settings, I’m used to managing multiple animals and maintaining reliable routines. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead for any special needs like medications, training reinforcement, enrichment activities, or extra exercise. I’m organized, dependable, and flexible, so pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle rather than feeling rushed or transactional. I care for pets the same way I’d want my own animals cared for: with consistency, patience, and close attention to their individual needs. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I had my first puppy when I was 5 years old (40 years ago). In my home we had two dogs (Katy and Katiuska) they had more than 15 puppies and we had them all. When I left Venezuela (2017) I had 6 dogs in my house (I picked them all up from the street and gave them a lot of love!) I work half a day and I can take care of your pet, I can also play with your pet! Dogs are angels sent by God to show that you don't need to talk to show true Love! I have a puppy at home (someone gave it to me at work and I adopted it), he is very friendly and we spend our time playing at home and in the park

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Owltown on Rover is $61.05 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 170 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Owltown. 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 Owltown 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 Owltown 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 Owltown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Owltown. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
