“I just have to say James and his wife De are AMAZING! We just moved in to town and we’re looking for a dog sitter due to a long trip that we had planned prior to our move. I am always hesitant leaving my pups with new sitters, but during the meet and greet at James’ house, I was instantly set at ease. He reassured the pups would be well taken care of while we were gone and I have to say he went above and beyond. He sent multiple pictures throughout each day and sent message updates to let me know how they were doing. He even spoiled them with extra treats (asked me first of course) and I know they loved it! If you’re feeling any bit of hesitation leaving your pups with someone new I can’t recommend James enough! Even living about 50 minutes from where they are, I will definitely leave my pups with them again and know they are well taken care of. Thank you so much again James and De!”
“There simply is no other place I would want to have my pets stay. These two are the best, they send the best updates and take good care of my pups. This last time when I dropped them off... they ran into Tom7Nikki's place before I could even say good bye.. this tells me they are comfortable with them and happy to stay. :)”
“Michelle and her family treated my Po and Basil as if they were their own! It was so great knowing my two were safe and sound, especially with her expertise in the vet med field. Will absolutely book again!”
“Becky was great with my dog Chevie! I really appreciated the pictures and updates while she was there. Chevie was very relaxed and content when we got home, will definitely use Becky’s services again!”
“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Turner, over the weekend and made sure he was happy and well cared for. She kept me updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout the weekend, which gave me peace of mind. She is also incredibly friendly, personable, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Stacy took care of Bear as if he was her own pet and provided us updates throughout his stay. Bear seemed like he was having a ball and was comfortable with her family in their home. We highly recommend Stacy and will definitely book with her again!.”
“Amanda was very welcoming to both Ronan and me and sent pictures while we were away that my son in particular really appreciated and also had all of Ronan's bedding, bowls, food, etc. ready to go when we arrived. He enjoyed romping in her large fenced-in backyard as well.”
“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”
“Beverly was AMAZING!! I have a puppy, and had to board him for a week and was very anxious to do so. She was so reassuring, spent so much time with him, and her kids and him got along amazing!! I will always rebook with her, as she took incredible care of my baby while I was away, and eased my nerves :) 100/10!”
“Luciana was incredible!! She went way above and beyond to take care of my cat Camille for an extended stay while I was overseas. Communication was excellent, and Camille was clearly very well taken care of.”
“Brittany and her family is so sweet. Buttons really enjoyed himself and loves them. She sent pictures and videos. I didn’t worry about my Buttons with her,which was such a relief which made it so easy for me to enjoy my trip. I had to extend my furbaby’s stay and she worked with me on that as well. If you want someone to love and care for your furbaby, she is the one to call. We so definitely will be using her again?”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m an active person and love being outside, so frequent walks are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a chore! I’m happy to give your dog plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also comfortable caring for elderly pets and administering medications when needed. I have a small Maltipoo of my own who is a very loved member of our family. I personally trained him, so I have hands-on experience with positive training, dog behavior, and helping dogs feel comfortable and understood. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and treat them like one of my own. My goal is for them to have a happy, safe, and fun time while you’re away! I work from home and am self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m able to provide frequent drop-ins and walks throughout the day when I’m not staying with a pet, rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I genuinely love being active and taking dogs on walks, so getting outside for walks is something I look forward to! I’m happy to provide multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention depending on each dog’s needs and routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also accommodate pets who do best with more frequent visits and need a little more attention and love. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care their pets may need. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship…not just a quick visit. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks and am happy to provide frequent walks or drop-ins when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. If a pet stays in my home, they’ll be welcomed as part of the family and will receive plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and affection. We have a fully fenced in yard, so your pups will have a safe and supervised environment for extra outside time and sniffs. I also have a well-trained Maltipoo of my own who loves making new friends!
About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and truly enjoy caring for them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and will treat your pup as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and will happily follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and sleeping routines. Whether your pup loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or just relaxing, they’ll receive plenty of love and individual attention while in my care. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to work around your pup’s normal routine and give them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When I’m not home, my husband is available to help, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care. I want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pup’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, as well as a friendly dog who loves having company. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
“Stacia was a great babysitter for Harley. He was well taken care of. I received 2 pictures of my baby while away. She took him out for walks and play time. I will definitely book again.”

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 Apalachee home-away-from-home, 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 Apalachee.
<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 Apalachee 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 , 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 .
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.
