“I am very pleased with the love and care Monica gave Tucker. I was very nervous about leaving him anywhere because I never had, but he was happy and taken care of. She sent me pictures of him and I really did appreciate getting them!”
“Kim has taken care of our cockapoo Polly several times. Kim is a caring and experienced dog professional. We know when we leave Polly with her that she will be well cared for.”
“Carmen was great with Susie. She made her feel at home. Susie has been introduced to a cat and did very well! Susie will definitely be staying with Carmen again in the future! Thanks for loving our pets while away!!”
About: I'm a life long dog owner with 30+ years of experience. I'm excited to provide a safe loving home for your furry companion. I am also experienced in training and special medical needs. I'm a registered nurse and I now work from home part time. I leave very rarely so can spend my days and nights focused on your pup! I am able to provide a very flexible schedule to fit your needs. I have a large unfenced yard with extra long leashes so we can run and play outside safely. Your dog will never be left alone outside alone but I can take them out as often as they like. I like to stay very active but safety is my priority so no matter what we do, your dog's well being is first and foremost 😊 I also absolutely love taking photos so you may end up with some devastatingly adorable pictures as memories of their stay with me! 💕💕

I have two cats that love new friends and are very friendly. We have a big ack yard but no fence soo I could walk them on a leash and I live in a nice neighborhood where many people walk there dogs.

“Evan was great with our "kids"! We were staying at FDR for a family wedding and extremely bad weather was predicted. Concerned about leaving our "kids" in the camper while we attended the wedding festivities, we got on Rover for the first time and Evan came to our rescue! We felt our kids were safe and in good hands. Thank you, Evan!”
About: have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple dog daycare environments, where I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, walks, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure dogs remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also provided regular pet-sitting and one-on-one care, so I understand that every dog has different routines, energy levels, and needs. Working in dog daycares has taught me how important patience, consistency, communication, and paying attention to a dog’s body language are. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and take their care seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, entertained, and comfortable while they’re in my care. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog, so I’m very used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. Because I already have pets at home, I understand how important consistency and routine are. I make sure I have enough time in my day to give the pets in my care the attention they need rather than treating pet sitting like something I’m squeezing in. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for other people’s pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. 🐶🐱🤍 Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication or basic care, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in home, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have experience caring for my own pets—Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog—so I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well while they’re away. 🐶🐱🤍

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.
98% of sitters in Atwater 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 Atwater 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 Atwater.
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 Atwater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Atwater 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.
