“Anais was amazing with my puppy, Sparkle. I could tell right away that Sparkle was well cared for and in good hands. She kept me at ease and treated her with so much love and attention. I would definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Chyanne was amazing with Piper! She sent the sweetest updates and photos, and Piper looked like she was having the best time. She absolutely loved playing with Chyanne’s dogs and settled in right away. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely book with Chyanne again — highly recommend! ❤️❤️”
“Akeeme is the best!! He takes such good care of our pup Frankie, and she gets so excited to see him! He is communicative, reliable and kind! We never worry about Frankie when she stays with Akeeme.”
“Antonio was amazing and communicative! Was very accommodating with pick up and drop off and took amazing care of my dog! Will absolutely be booking again!”
“Patti took great care of our little pup! She got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and came home happy. The communication with videos was the best!”
“Kathleen was amazing. She accepted our request on short notice and took great care of our dog, Yogi, for two days. From the start, she was calm, responsive, and clearly experienced. Yogi warmed up to her immediately, which gave us instant confidence. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was obvious Yogi was happy and comfortable the entire time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring—we would absolutely book with her again, even for longer trips.”
“AMAZING! The moment I read Shawn & Wandie’s Rover profile and reviews, I knew they were the right sitters for my pup, Nutmeg. Because I was a new client, I was grateful that they wanted to set up a meet & greet prior to his boarding dates, just to build comfort in advance. Nutmeg had such a blast with this family - it was like he was at Disney for dogs! They kept him active daily, loved on him, and sent me an abundance of adorable photos and videos - which of course put me at ease being away for a week’s time. My dog is generally a bit timid, and so seeing him smiling in each and every photo, having a blast was everything to me. Shawn and Wandie (and their kids!) were made for dog sitting, they truly have a love and patience for each and every pup. Best sitters on Rover for sure!!!”
“Rachel was so wonderful with my boys. She was kind enough to accept a last minute booking and was so flexible. They seemed to settle down and get comfortable very soon. They got a lot of outdoor time, and I got a bunch of photo updates. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone needing a stay for their pups.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my Boston Terrier with Barron. She wasn't feeling well for a few days and Barron was very attentive with her care and kept me updated on how she was doing. I enjoyed the photos and comments that let me know she was having a good time. Zuc has stayed with Barron before and looks forward to staying with him again.”
About: Hi there! I have 3 wonderful pups (all doodles!) and we love having dog friends come to stay! I've been dogsitting at my house for friends & family for years, so I figured I'd open it up to others. My dogs are super friendly and will get along with any dog. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway!): please only reach out if your baby is friendly with other dogs :) I work from home so I'll be around all day for your furbaby. I walk the dogs in the morning, and I leave for an hour for my own walk during my lunch break. I'll never leave the dogs home alone for more than 3 hours, but feel free to let me know if it needs to be even shorter. I have a fully fenced (huge) yard and I work from home. It's 24/7 snuggles here! My dogs are my whole world, and your babies will be cared for like my own.
“Alannah is always a pleasure and my dog loves her! She accommodated my last minute request as I was going out of town, and I’m extremely thankful! I will definitely continue to use her!!”
“Mark was great! I was so worried about leaving my rambunctious husky puppy while I was out of town. We usually board with her veterinarian but that wasn’t an option this time. The updates Mark sent made us feel so comfortable while away from her. Will definitely be repeat customers!”
“This is Erica and Andrew’s second time watching Addie and they always do an amazing job! Very communicative throughout the booking process and they also keep me very updated with multiple pictures and thorough updates everyday about how Addie is doing which I really appreciate. I’ve felt extremely comfortable and in the loop both times Addie has stayed with them so will definitely continue to request them whenever I’m traveling”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Luli! From the moment Luli was picked up, we felt completely at ease knowing Luli was in such capable and caring hands. Sarah kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the week, which really put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Luli came back home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. Sarah truly went above and beyond in every way, and we can't recommend her enough! If you're looking for someone to treat your pup like family, Sarah is the one to reach out to.”
“Kelsi watched my cat for over a week and I knew my cat was well taken care of. Kelsi is an animal lover and my cat was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely book with her again.”
“By far my best experience with Rover, thanks to Richard&Samma. Samma made sure both Ginger and I were comfortable, and I really appreciated the meet and greet before the actual overnight. I got tons of pictures, and my dog’s needs were fully taken into account and addressed!”
“My husband and I can’t express enough how much we loved Doug and how he took care of our pups! He sent consistent pictures and updates the whole time we were away! Great communicator and answered ll of our questions and punctual. Defiantly would recommend Doug to pup-sit!! Will absolutely request his services again for our next time!”
About: Dogs have had a special place in my heart ever since my own was rescued on Valentine’s Day after being found tied to a tree. Watching her adjust, gain confidence, and become part of our family made me appreciate how different every dog is. Since then, I’ve loved getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is staying with me, I’m coming to your home, taking them on a walk, or simply stopping by for a check-in, I’ll follow their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel at ease while you’re apart. I’m currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open. During the semester, I’m typically available for boarding after 5:00 PM on weekdays and as early as needed on weekends. If you have a specific time or date in mind, just reach out. I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that works for both of us. I provide attentive, consistent care tailored to each pet’s needs and the owner’s instructions. In my home, I maintain a calm and safe environment with regular walks, feeding schedules, and supervised activity. Since I live in an apartment, daily walks are a key part of the routine, and nearby Phoenix Park is where we usually go for exercise and stimulation. I make sure pets get the opportunity to stay active, explore, and release energy in a healthy way. If a dog is social, they may interact with other dogs, but if they are shy or the owner prefers one-on-one time, I always adjust accordingly. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medication, and routines exactly as directed. I respect the home, keep things clean and organized, and prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and normal routine so they feel secure while their owner is away.
“Jazzmine was wonderful with my dog, Finley! She was so accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Finley left so happy after playing all day long with Cosmo! Would absolutely book again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Atlanta is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Atlanta
Logan once again did a great job with our girl. She’s dealing with a medical issue that caused her to bleed from her mouth, and Logan was great about updating us. He was also great in calming us as we were worried about her messing up their house. He’s a top notch guy!
Barron was the ultimate host for our shy min pin Duncan and made his comfort a priority with regular walks and dressing him in his calming shirt. Barron's communication was always professional and super understanding during an unexpected delay in our pickup time. Thanks for the great photos Barron!
This was our first time using Rover. We needed a last minute sitter after our other fell through. Ashley was great to work with during the booking process and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She provided regular updates and he seemed to have a ton of fun with her! Would definitely recommend and we’ll be using her again in the future.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Atlanta is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,733 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Atlanta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Atlanta 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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta.
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 Atlanta. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Atlanta 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.
