âAshton was great. She took the time to visit me and my pet before the scheduled booking, taking great notes and ensuring my pet would be familiar with her. Will be using her again.â
âAlmost donât want to review because I hope I always have Barbara available to come back! She is absolutely the best and the only person I would trust to leave my pup with! My dog loves her and is always so excited to see her! Lucked out on finding Barbara in the best way! Will work with her anytime I can, and as long as she is willing!â
âLeah is absolutely amazing!! She is so kind and very thoughtful. She took such great care of our pets and our house while we were gone. 100% plan on rebooking with her for our next trip!!â
âJohn is very professional and patient. Our sensitive boy is challenging to handle and John adapted to our dog's preference and giving him enough time, also tried several ways to build trust. Although our boy didn't accept him right away I believe it is only a matter of time our boy will open his mind. The time spent and the understanding shared towards our special boy are much appreciated.â
âDawn did an amazing job with our dogs while we were away. We have one dog that has separation anxiety and she was able to make her feel comfortable enough that she even ate while with Dawn. I received updates and pictures while we were away and that was appreciated. I will be asking Dawn to help us again.â

âJoey did fantastic house sitting with our sweet girl. He was very attentive, always provided updates, and did a great job at just caring for our home as well. Would highly recommend Joey!â
About: Hi, Iâm Jaime! I am an artist currently based in Marietta, GA. In my free time I love to hang out and play with my own pets, play games, and create artwork! I have had pets of all kinds but have had many cats over the years. I am a definite cat lover, but have also had experience with dogs as well! I have experience with both traditional litter boxes and Litter Robot. I am familiar with giving liquid medication to cooperative cats, and pill pockets and "ham wrapped" pills to dogs. I am happy to play with, hang with, and be a friend to your beloved furry friend, getting to know them, sending pictures, and keeping them company! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility to work with your schedule. I am happy to accommodate where needed. I am happy to follow the rules of the household, and give your beloved furry friend all of the care they need following their regular lifestyle! I will not be able to "roughhouse" with your pets, but I am happy to provide stimulating play in other ways, like with toys, walks, or other outdoor play.
âOlivia is so kind and responsive! The doggos absolutely loved her and we did as well! She went above and beyond taking care of the animals! We will absolutely go with her again in the future! Thanks Olivia đâ

âSummer is incredible!!! She goes above and beyond for our pups and even cleans the house before she leaves. Our pups love her so much and so do we! We couldnât be happier we found her.â
âJasmine was incredible! Kept me well informed about what was going on with Baxter. Spent lots of time outside with him. I could tell he had a great time with Jasmine! Will definitely use Jasmine again in the future to house & dog sit.â
âDestini was great and really helped me to have peace of mind knowing that someone was with my fur babies during my vacation. She was very thorough and detail-oriented and helped me with not only my animals but with watering plants as well! Highly recommend her!â
About: Iâm a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. Iâm a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. Iâd love to help you care for your fur baby as well. Iâm pretty flexible. Iâm home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesnât mean I donât have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
About: About me: Iâve always had lots of pets throughout my life and came from a very animal focused family, including dogs cats fish and turtles. I am an active person and walking my dog was always a big part of my routine. Now during my post grad life I missed connecting with as many dogs so I signed up for Rover! I have experience with cats with medical issues. Iâm doing freelance artist work so I have time during the week to petsit! My schedule is flexible due unusual hours so I can work with your plans. (I am not currently caring for pets in my own home due to the size of my apartment, which is already filled up by two cats who have very big personalities)
âCaylen did a great job taking care of Kanye while we were away. She was responsive, kept us updated, followed his feeding and medication routine, and most importantly, we came home to a happy and well cared for dog. We really appreciated having someone dependable looking after him while we were traveling. Thank you again!!â
âHope was amazing with our dogs (+cat)! They absolutely adored her, and she treated them exactly as if they were her very own fur-babies. When I came home, it was like my dogs didnât even know I was goneâŚand my home was in better shape than I had left it! She went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and I absolutely recommend Hope if you want the BEST care for your animals and complete peace of mind.â
âSabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sandy Plains is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $77 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 petâs 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Sandy Plains walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sandy Plains 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Sandy Plains 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
