“Shayla is the best of the best! It took me quite a few tries to find a sitter that I loved and now that I found Shayla I will never use anyone else. She is always super accommodating and flexible. She takes great care of my two dogs that have totally different personalities. Every time I say “let’s go see Shayla!” they run straight to the car. I’ve utilized her services for day care, short trips, and even longer trips of more than a week. I’ve had to go out of town on two different instances when one of my dogs was recovering from two different surgeries and Shayla took excellent care of her. She always goes the extra mile, from putting coconut oil on my dogs itchy skin to sending me the cutest updates and pictures through out the day. You can’t go wrong booking Shayla!”
“Brydget was excellent and she took excellent care of Charlie. I highly recommend her and will use her now going forward. She has a lot of space for your dogs to roam and keep busy. She offered pick up and delivery services which is just outstanding. Again, 5 stars all the way.”
“Tressa was fantastic with Tallulah! We were a bit nervous because this was our first time leaving her with anyone. Tressa stayed in constant contact by sending pictures and videos. She didn't just send pictures of our girl sitting alone, but showed her in action with her new pal. We will definitely make Tressa our first choice when we need boarding. You cannot go wrong with Tressa.”
“This is our second boarding with Kamal and it was a pleasure. Kamal ensures our marshmallow is walked, snuggled and sends lots of updates. I think Bear has made Kamal a part of his pack ♥️”
“Ash had a wonderful time staying with Ysidra! She sent great photo updates throughout eachday, and he came home happy, tired and with a new toy. We would definitely book with her again."”
“The short notice was definitely appreciated! Quickly adjusted to the mishap with the time drop off! Sent several pics of Ash to ensure is he was being well taken care of and comfortable! Will definitely be using Misty again and will recommend to anyone in need of boarding services!”
“Left my giant Bernese mountain dog with Kyle for 17 days. Being in the military can be tough with a dog, but I couldn’t be happier with how it went. I could tell Chewie had a great time and the pictures and updates were just the right amount. Highly highly recommend Kyle, I’ll definitely use him again!”
“We can’t thank Helia enough for the wonderful care she provide to our dog, Gideon. She is absolutely amazing and treated him as he was her own dog. Helia is sweet, responsible, compassionate, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. We felt completely at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in such great hands. She also send regular updates with pictures and videos, which are truly appreciated. Helia is a truly dog lover. We highly recommend Helia and will definitely book with her again. Thank you Helia !!”
“Shannon had our high energy 13 month pup, Yrsa, for 5 days. She was awesome with communication and Yrsa seemed to be very happy as well. Our flight was late coming in and Shannon worked with us no problem! We will definitely be calling on Shannon next time we need a sitter. Thank you Shannon!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while making sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a large, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Since I work from home, they're rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, and lots of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training routines. I also make sure your home is respected and secure while keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Sharissa is lovely! She took lots of photos and videos of our cat, who wasn’t sure she wanted to come home since she clearly had a great time. Sharissa’s apartment is safe and comfortable for animals. Sharissa was super accommodating and easygoing. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our cat again.”
“Our puppy Norm had a great time with Kendall and her family! We received several photos during his stay and could tell he was being looked after with care and having loads of fun. We highly recommend booking with Kendall!”
“Layla was phenomenal with Suki! She kept me completely at ease the entire time with regular updates, photos, and videos. It was obvious Suki was receiving so much attention and love—honestly, when I went to pick her up, I wasn't entirely sure she wanted to come home! We will definitely be booking with Layla again. Highly 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 Arcola 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 Arcola.
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 Arcola 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.
