“Catecha is an excellent dog sitter who truly cares about her dogs. Mocha is always excited when I bring him and feels safe with her. I never have to worry about if he’s safe, Mocha gets to play with other dogs and has improved overall since I adopted him.”
“Mika is the best! She was so attentive and communicative throughout the entire process. Her knowledge and expertise really stood out, she offered helpful tips and guidance that made a huge difference. As a first-time dog mom, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but Mika’s support gave me so much relief and confidence. I truly appreciated her patience and the care she showed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Jordyn took such great care of Koda, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay, sending regular updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very prompt in responding to messages, making the entire process easy and stress-free. It was clear that Koda was well cared for and loved while he was with her. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with Koda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Super Sitter, they took care of the dogs like they were their own. Huge yard for them to run in, great people, communication was on point and easy to work with. Anyone looking for a Sitter look no further. I would become a regular but alas I am moving out of State. You Should use Sydney and Stay with her for all your pet sitting. She really is the Greatest.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Briana was fantastic! Briana did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Khufu. She was attentive and caring, and she sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout to keep me updated — it was so reassuring while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Staying with James is Winston's home away from home. He gets great care, lots of social interaction with other dogs and we get lots of pictures of Winston's adventures. James and Dee are great. Absolutely top notch!”
“Patty is truly the best dog caregiver you could ask for. My dogs had such a great time staying with her; it felt like their own little vacation! Her property is perfect for dogs, and I loved how attentive she was. She kept me updated constantly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will absolutely be boarding my dogs with her again in the future.”
“The whole Family was wonderful with Biscuit. Not only did they watch Biscuit with only 2 days notice but they also sent pictures and were very responsive every time I texted!!! Biscuit enjoyed his visit and I would highly recommend them for dog sitting in the future! I also will ask them to watch Biscuit again in the future!!”
“Extremely happy with Christopher's care of my dog. Pictures and feedback were sent regularly. My lab is very high energy and their large backyard allowed him to get plenty of exercise.”
“Aimee was wonderful with my dog Peanut! She communicates well and took care of him like he was her own fur baby. He made new friends and it was almost like a mini vacation for himself in her home with round the clock care! 5 stars!”
“Excellent boarding experience for my 2 rat terriers for a week in FEB! Jahzavya sent me updated pictures of my guys (with funny or cute captions *BONUS*). He did multiple neighborhood walks plus had a backyard and designated space inside for their stay, I dropped off their crate as well for the stay. Would book again and recommended!”
“Josi was an absolute professional, very personable and kind. She made me feel super comfortable while she took care of Diesel. Even had last minute changes and she was able to accommodate. Her and her family treated him with such gentleness and made him feel like apart of the family. Daily walks, pictures and videos just to keep me off edge. I would definitely use this family again. Great space for the pups and great family bonding. Thank you again Josi for allowing Diesel to be apart of your family while I’m away.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Lulu. Our dog, Charlie, absolutely loved her and she took such great care of him while we were gone. She sent us pictures of him having fun and was so great and easy to work with. Charlie looks forward to staying with her again. She is the best!”
“The perfect host. My husband said Saint enjoyed himself and Nicole said he was a good boy. I appreciate her more than she knows. Saint is a big dog. Most people are afraid of him due to his size but he’s a good dog and a people person. Thanks”
“Amazing fur baby sitter- took such good care of my boy and provided pictures daily- she was very attentive to him and provided him with ample activity. She will definitely be my choice of sitter going forward for my pups.”
“Andrea was totally AMAZING!!!! This was my fur baby Raven's first time staying overnight 🐕 Andrea sent pics daily of my baby 🐕 I found my permanent sitter 💙 Raven loves her!!! Thank you”
“Alex and Ash did amazing with my Australian Shepherd. They are very knowledgeable about dogs, they even knew a lot of stuff about my dogs particular breed. Zuko has social anxiety so I’m always worried if he misbehaves when he’s away and they did an amazing job comforting him. Ash is also a sick groomer and my dog has never looked cleaner.”
“Yunju and her partner were the best dog sitters I could’ve hoped for. She sent me photos, videos, and updates multiple times throughout the day of their walks, meals and hang time and made sure our dog was loved on and cared for! She is very kind, super communicative, and fast to respond. She lives in a safe gated community with a dog park nearby. I would 100% recommend Yunju to anyone looking for fun and reliable pet care. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

This is the 2nd time that Denise boards our dog Archie and she is so amazing! She took a great care of Archie and was very communicative with us while we were out. She was willing to keep Archie for an extra night and was a great relief to us. We highly recommend Denise and we are glad to have her in our life now.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Abide Awhile home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Abide Awhile.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Abide Awhile sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
