“Cindy took care of my 6 month old for a week. I am an anxious first time pet parent and she absolutely helped me get through the week in peace. She sent regular updates and pictures and I could see my little boy happy and playing in each of them. She is also super quick to respond. Thanks for all your help Cindy! We are thankful we found you.”
“Bunny took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout and goes above & beyond to make sure our home and pups are well taken care of. Thanks!!”
“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”
“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, as well as cats. From high-energy playtime and daily walks to providing the gentle, attentive care that senior dogs need, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their furry family members. I maintain a flexible part-time routine, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to focus on your pets! I am fully available for weekend boarding, and on weekdays, I am ready to step in for walks, playtime, and companionship anytime. Because my schedule is highly predictable, you can count on consistent routines and timely updates for your furry family members. Keeping pets safe and comfortable matters most here. A spacious, completely enclosed yard offers plenty of room for supervised outdoor activity. The household runs quietly, adjusting smoothly to each pet’s habits. Crating happens when preferred by the pet or requested by you. Every detail, including feeding schedules, medications, and special directions, is followed exactly as given.
About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡
About: I've been a dog lover all of my life. I also know how to deal with cats having owned two for over 15 years. I train all my animals to be sweet, obedient, independent, and spoiled! I'm a college educated man that can care for animals just about any time. I'm good at gaining trust with animals and building a relationship with them that makes care much easier. I prefer to go to clients home just because I have a little dog at home that's only 10lbs. Since most dogs outsize him, I'm not particularly comfortable bringing other dogs or cats into his domain. However, I am more than happy to give your pet the care they need at their own home so their lives are as undisturbed as possible. I will always view myself as a guest in their domain. I seek not only to serve you the owner as a customer, but the animal as well. I have a great love and respect for all our little family members!
“Shelby was the absolute best while watching our two, incredibly-spoiled pups for a getaway weekend with family. She provided regular updates as well as photos/videos, and we'd be lucky to have her stay over at our house with the pups again. 10/10 would entrust her with our home and fur-family.”
About: I have had animals my whole life from dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. My experience with caring and taking care of those different types of animals has allowed me to understand how to treat and care for them in the best way. I also have been know to spoil spoil every animal and get them whatever treats rhey want. Pet care fits into my daily routine because im always at home and i have my own car. I’m able to pick up and go whenever i need to. I have a fenced in yard and i often take my cats outside to room around the yard. When your pets come over they will have a huge backyard to run around in.
“I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!”
“Linque took wonderful care of my boys and my home! She kept me updated enough to keep my crazy pet mom instincts at bay and to allow me to enjoy my trip. I knew they were safe, well cared for, and cuddled like crazy! I could tell they were missing her after I got home, which is a great compliment. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Linque to care for them again!”
“Jessica is very kind and friendly. She is responsible and updated us everyday with pictures of Belle and comments on how she was doing. Jessica took very good care of our home as well and we highly recommend her!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”
“Payt was amazing! She took great care of our dog Gunner and kept us updated with pictures! She was very courteous of our home and I felt very safe. She communicated very well during the planning process and we can't wait to book with her again! I would definitely recommend her for your next trip!”

I spend time playing with them every day and take them for walks or provide toys to keep them active. plenty of affection help them feel secure and cared for.
About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for the last couple of years. The most animals I’ve worked with at one time is 4. I’m great with a schedule if your pet needs it. I love all pets and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I’m available most of the time I’m not working right now so the only time I won’t be free are for personal matters. I am looking for new work so this may change. I have worked with both larger and smaller dogs. If they are still working in training I can continue to work with them on what they know. I have helped train in the past but I haven’t done any primary training myself.

Emma! There are not enough words to describe how she cares for both of our dogs. Our dogs are literally family and she communicates very often and sends pictures, videos. She was great, we were away during spring break and I’m always nervous leaving the dogs. Emma had truly put my worries to rest! Will book her every time if she is available! The house was spotless also when we got home! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

FAQs for House Sitting - Powder Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Powder Springs on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Powder Springs. 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 Powder Springs 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 Powder Springs 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 Powder Springs 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.
