“Top tier service. I’ve never really been separated from have my dog he’s always with me. Rebekah made me feel so comfortable with leaving Loki behind in her care. I receive constant updates and pictures. Seriously I don’t think my dog missed me at all -she updated me with saying that her kids loved playing with him.he a Doberman so his energy levels can be high at times. I will definitely be using her services again.”

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!!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Krystale! She took such amazing care of Chi-Chi and truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. Being that Chi-Chi is a senior dog, I’m very particular about who I trust with her, and Krystale exceeded my expectations. She was patient, attentive, loving, and treated Chi-Chi like she was her own. I could tell Chi-Chi felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, which meant everything to me. ❤️ Krystale is truly a gem, and I’m so grateful to have found her! I would absolutely trust her with Chi-Chi again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and amazing with their fur baby. **10/10 — highly recommend!** 🐾❤️”
“I left our dog, Paddy, in Miriam's care for the first time this past week, and am absolutely delighted by the loving care he got. When I first met Miriam, and her husband, at the Meet and Greet ahead of time, I could see their huge hearts for dogs (and cats) in their care. Their home is a welcoming and safe environment and Paddy took to it right away. Miriam understood his specific needs and gave him the attention he loves. He actually played with their little dog in their wonderful fenced in yard ; an opportunity he doesn't have at home (no other pets & no fenced in yard). I loved the pictures and messages she sent about how he was doing. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely leave Paddy in her care again - without reservations and without worrying about him! A great experience!”
“John and his wife were amazing sitters for my dogs! At first my pup was nervous to be away from home and was very anxious to be in a new environment but they were able to comfort him and since his stay he’s been a lot more social and less growling at people so Thank you guys !! I highly recommend them!”
“Great experience! Ying did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay. Communication was consistent, and the regular photos were especially appreciated. I felt reassured knowing my dog was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
