“Could not have asked for a better person to watch Copper. She was very kind, active with walks and play, sent updates every day with pictures. Full recommend for anyone needing help with dog sitting.”
“Amanda was absolutely awesome! This was the best stay for our cat Baxter who has a chronic health condition. Amanda did a great job giving him his medication, watching for any signs of health changes and giving great updates. She sent great pictures and stayed with him overnight to make sure his routine wasn’t disrupted. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime and I especially love dogs! My favorite thing to do in the evening after taking a walk is to cuddle with a sweet puppy, a book (or Stardew Valley) and a hot tea. In my free time I like to paint and crochet, ask me about my headscarves! I currently work part time as a secretary so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet as well as short turn around for your last minute trips. I love to take walks so I can provide any exercise needed. I have cared for shy, nervous and high energy pups. I also have experience with giving dogs medication and caring for elderly dogs. I am comfortable with multiple dog homes and I'm very flexible to your pups particular needs.
“A top-notch caregiver for my two kitties and I have worked with many sitters in the past 10 years. I chose Asha because she has experience with special needs pets. She was willing to house sit with my babies so that she could express the bladder of my special needs girl. She fed, watered, brushed, loved and expressed the bladder of my little one every 6 hours to keep her on schedule day and night. If you are hesitant about traveling because of your fur babies, call Asha. She is delightful, willing, clean, communicative and observant. She will care for your home and your pets as her own. There are not enough stars for me to recommend Asha highly enough! She is a personable, professional, and experienced lover of animals… I have already talked with her about future sits. She is the answer to my prayers and my babies love her!”
“Jasmine did a great job with our dogs and was very communicative with pictures and updates! She also took great care of the home! It was just as we left it. Even when my golden retriever pulled out some of my personal belongings she respectfully put them back. I would consider Jasmine very responsible and she has great character; it was also extremely nice to meet her because she was exceptionally pleasant and kind.Thanks again, Jasmine”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful. She communicated with me frequently and sent several photos of our pups and she was very detailed in every update. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”
About: I have been dog sitting for about a year now and i have many dogs of my own which includes 7 dogs at my home Pet care is my full time job so it very much fits into my daily and weekly schedule because it’s something i’m always doing consistently. I take care of other peoples pet like how i take care of mine and how i would want other people to take care of my own
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at 48 and retired, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.
“Heather was so communicative and I felt like she was fully capable when I met her before she pet sat for us- she took every bit of information for our crazy mini hobby farm and did amazing! Would love to hire her back anytime we have a trip!”
“Ashley was great! I’m so thankful she was available on a relatively short notice and for the first time! Remy and Lucy looked like they had a great time from the photos and commentary Ashley provided! I’d surely book Ashley again to pet sit and recommend her to others!”
About: Hi! My name is Aliyah and I’m a dependable and caring pet lover located in the Forest Hills area of Augusta. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, or relaxing time, I focus on making sure each pet feels happy and secure. Communication with pet parents is very important to me. During visits or stays, I send multiple photos, videos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I want owners to feel relaxed knowing their pets are in good hands. I currently work from home part-time, which allows me to bring my laptop with me and stay flexible with my schedule. This means I can spend more time with pets during visits or stays and make sure they are getting the attention and care they need throughout the day. I also have personal experience raising and caring for dogs. I have my own dogs who are mixed with Yorkie and Shih Tzu. My first dog, Titus, is the dad. Later on, I got a Shih Tzu girl named Tabby, and they unexpectedly had five puppies. I made sure each puppy went to a loving home, two went to my first cousin and my mom in St. Louis, one went to a coworker, and another went to a close high school friend. I ended up keeping the fifth puppy, Mazi, who is now two years old. A close friend originally planned to take her but later decided it might be too much while preparing for their first child. I didn’t want to give him to just anyone, so I happily kept her as part of my family. All of my dogs are now spayed and neutered, and they are well loved and cared for. Having my own pets has given me firsthand experience with different dog personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and needs, including senior pets that may need extra attention. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress free experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work part-time in Human Resources, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend quality time caring for pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and visits most days and weekends. Because of my schedule, pets are not left alone for long periods. I make sure they receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day so they feel comfortable and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I live in a townhome in the Forest Hills area of Augusta, Georgia with a small fenced outdoor space where dogs can safely get fresh air and quick potty breaks. It’s similar to a patio or balcony area but larger, and I also take dogs on walks for additional exercise and stimulation. I only care for one client at a time so each pet receives my full attention. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is what they are used to at home. I always send photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing during their stay.

Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind through dependable, attentive care. I’m a student at Augusta University, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m in the Augusta area year-round and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute bookings. I work hard to be dependable, responsive, and flexible so your pet can stay on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or weekend pet sitting, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away, and I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in safe, caring hands.
About: My experience with pets amazing. I birthed and raised multiple dogs since I was 12. I’ve worked with dogs big and small. I currently have a beautiful Alaskan husky. I also watch my mom’s Rottweiler from time to time. I’ve rescued dogs and cats. I just love animals. I look forward to taking care of you all sweet hearts. I’m free anytime any day. I home 24/7 I have a lot of free time. So I’m available anytime on those days. I always wake up early take my dogs outside, feed, and give them water. I also let them play outside midday.

So, ther is a lot of space for your dog to play and have fun.
“Jennifer is an excellent care provider. She is professional, punctual, responsible and trustworthy. My dog Josie immediately loved her. Would highly recommend Jennifer for dog sitting/housesitting.”
“Devin is our go-to dog sitter when we head out of town. She’s great with updating us daily on how the dogs are doing. We have a senior dog who needs medicine 2x per day and she stay on schedule with administering the medicine. Both my dogs are always so relaxed when we get home from our trips and we know it’s because of the care Devin provides. She’s the best!”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and I’m wanting to supplement my income with some sitting/walking/dropping in jobs before and after school during the week and on the weekends. I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.
About: I've been around dogs since I was born. I decided to go to school for animals. I have a certification in Veterinary Assistant and currently I’m working on getting a degree in Veterinary Technician. I also work at a kennel and a pet store so my days are just filled with animals and I love it. I currently do work two jobs and go to school for Vet Tech but I will be doing this typically in the morning and early afternoon. I currently live on a farm so all the animals I somewhat take care of all have a large piece of land to run around and be free. We have a fences to make sure they don't run out into the road. I do keep our back porch open incase it gets too hot for them or they want to get out the rain.
“I have used Rover before in Alaska and was less than pleased with the amount of time spent with my two mini schnauzers, Nahla spend most of her time taking care of my girls during my short trip (three days). The dogs were walked everyday and they liked her a lot. It was her first time and she cooked food for them they way I do; but she did more than the Vet assistant or student I hired in Alaska and the house was still clean. Thanks Nahla”

The average cost of House Sitting in Poverty Hill is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $56 per night.

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 Poverty Hill 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 Poverty Hill 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 Poverty Hill 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.
