“Another wonderful stay for Bella with James and De!! She's always well taken care of and she loves staying there. She gets excited and runs to the door when I pack her bag and ask her if she wants to go see James. :)”

“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”

“Joey was awesome! Easy going atmosphere with a large fenced in backyard....My dogs loved it there....Joey and Terry were easy to work with and had great customer service. Highly recommend!”


“Jill is such a gem. She was so sweet and easy to deal with, and she assured me (multiple times, even through some really difficult life circumstances) that my pup was happy and safe with her. He came home happy with the zoomies, so I think it's safe to say he had a great time! 10/10 do recommend Jill. :)”

“Taylor was incredible with Mason! He really treated him like one of his own. Taylor also came through when I needed a sitter last minute. He’s a great person and sitter, I would absolutely have him watch Mason again!”

“Kendall & Darbie were fantastic! Communication was excellent and they were super friendly and accommodating! We will book with them again the next time we're in Athens!”

“Always enthusiastic and does a great job being positive about his time with our dogs. They mean everything to us, and we are so grateful we have found a sitter who understands. Highly recommend.”

“Stacy was awesome. I am a first time dog owner and left my 5-month old puppy with her for 5 days and she answered all my questions and put all my fears to rest. She kept me updated daily with pictures and commentary about how my puppy was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Will definitely be calling her again.”

“Valeria had our two timid babies for 5 days. This was the first time leaving them, but they did great. They enjoyed the fenced yard and that freedom as well as her kids. She kept in touch and sent pictures, and never made me feel like I was bothering her. :) We are already planning to utilize her again for a trip later in the year.”


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.

About: I have loved and cared for all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, fish, birds,...) since I was a child. Friends and family know they can count on me to deliver great care for these important members of the family. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages, even anxious pets, and can administer medication. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I am available anytime to care for your pet. I will feed, walk, and snuggle as much as needed, and am happy to send photo updates. I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly 8 year old chiweenie who can easily be separated if your pet isn't ok with other dogs. I am happy to keep your housebroken pet in my home or will travel to yours.
“Shannon and Billy were fantastic with our 2 pups while we were out of town. Great updates and lots of activities during their stay. They were happily worn out when they came back home. Definitely recommend!!”

“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.”

About: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have carried this love into adulthood and I enjoy having them in my life. When your four-legged family member is with us they will be treated as one of the family. They will be doted upon and they will be constantly engaged, touched, and talked to. We go for walks in our 1-acre fenced backyard, which facilitates safe rewarding exploration and discovery. We allow the visitors to play and interact with our loving and friendly standard poodles who are great role models to each other and to visiting pooches. Even though your baby will be on their doggie Vaca, We will still use every opportunity to encourage learning, good manners, and good behavior by giving treats and positive reinforcement throughout the day. Stability, engagement, routine, and structure makes a happy dog and we aim to make sure that every four-legged friend who lodges with us, is happy and never wants to leave. Our resident babies eat twice per day and are allowed out for potty breaks three times per day. If it is a rainy day we do indoor activities in our 35x40 temperature controlled dog suite and we even watch a little "Dog TV" We have a great time, rain or shine! Sleeping arrangements will depend on what your baby is comfortable with but we do not allow our pets on the furniture or in our beds (at least when daddy is around). We have kennels but we allow the dogs to sleep anywhere they want to in the dog suite. I am a retired nurse and I am always home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs in my day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where all the dogs enjoy their time outdoors. We also have plenty of equipment in the yard for their enjoyment.
“Jennifer was such a good person to me and my Blu she took excellent care of her as she was her own and always keep me updated of everything my blu did she send me pictures everyday of her. If I need another care for blu or any other pet I have I will definitely pick Jennifer again always thank you so much for everything you did ❤️ if there would be more stars to give you I'll definitely give them all to you Jennifer 🙏”

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!
“Olivia was very accommodating and sweet! She allowed us to come for a meet and greet before the visit, so we could make sure things would go smoothly. She stayed in contact the whole time and sent pictures! Will be booking again!”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Apalachee can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 Apalachee.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apalachee. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
