“Lori was excellent with CoCo! I dropped her off on Thursday and picked her up on Sunday. Coco had an awesome stay with Lori and her family. The entire process was no stress. I would definitely choose Lori as her Rover sitter in the near future.”
“This was my very first time using Rover. Upon meeting Melissa she was very kind. I explained to her about the needs of my Colby. She was very attentive and a great listener. She assured me that he would be fine in her care. During my 4 days away she sent photos which warmed my heart. Melissa followed instructions to perfection and when he returned to me it was as if I never left. He had no issues, exactly what I needed as a pickie dog owner. Melissa is very accommodating. I look forward to working with her again real soon and I believe Colby does too. Thanks Melissa for your professionalism and care for my Colby.”
“Tanisha made the whole booking process easy. Our first time using her services. She picked up and dropped off Popi. Our dog seemed happy when he came from boarding. Thanks for saving the day,”
“Tobie is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of your baby. She watched our fig Roscoe for the first time for 5 days and the amount of pictures and videos she sent my kids loved it. My dog became her watch dog wherever she went he went. She will always have us as a client. THANK U AGAIN”
“Veronica took great care of my Yorkie-Poo. She kept her for 3 days. She sent me pictures of her stay to show me her activities and how she adjusted during the visit. I would recommend Veronica as an excellent dog sitter on Rover. I look forward to using her again in the near future.”
“Excellent, from booking to drop off to pick up, it was as easy as pie. No separation for my dog. Me? I was pathetic and they were so patient with me. Thanks guys for such a pleasant experience”
“Our first Rover experience and it was great! Christina updated us with videos and texts throughout the visit. Our Gabby made new fur buddy friends. Christina’s pups are super sweet. I felt so much better leaving her with this awesome family than the typical kennel... and Christina was very accommodating as this was a last minute booking for the July 4th holiday. Thanks!!”
“First time ever using Rover or having someone watch my pup! Morgan was amazing, great communication, sent some pictures, made me feel really comfortable and Porkie had the best time! Will be booking with her in future ☺️”
“Ken, thank you so much for taking care of our baby Wyatt. Your updates were fantastic and so were the photos and videos. I would RECOMMEND Ken to anyone looking to have there dog taken care of. And I will be using Ken everytime we go on family trips. Once again thanks KEN!”
“Petra was really wonderful with our puppy Penny! This was Penny’s first time away from us so I know she was not very easy to deal with but Petra was so patient with her and took fantastic care of her! I will absolutely use Petra again in the future.”
“Terry was the ultimate sitter! She took excellent care of our dog Orion and sent pictures everyday that I was away. The next time I need a sitter I will be sure to reach out to Terry!”
“Omggg 10/10. Very convenient and helpful. Ariana was able to take my Flossy on a late night when I had an unexpected trip. Ariana was able to accommodate and modify the booking with my weird schedule. She listened to her food needs & informed me everything going on with her & updates either pictures. Definitely see us booking again in the near future if need be.”
“Taurus was awesome with my pups! He was responsive to my msgs, and he sent me plenty of pics and vids. They seemed very comfortable with him, and had so much fun. When I picked them up, Taurus looked so sad like he genuinely will miss them. Lol. He even sent them home with gifts! (A brand new bed big enough for both of them, and to-go goody bags filled with treats!) I love the fact that he mentioned more than once how much he loves dogs, and how he feels like caring for dogs is his passion/calling. Will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Nakita was absolutely great!! We were worried about leaving our small dog for such a long time because of his separation anxiety and quirky ways, but Natika was comforting, understanding and the perfect match for Bentley! She sent pictures/videos to ease our minds and captured Bentley bonding with other dogs and of him eating. We will definitely use her professional and caring services again! Thank you!”
“Komen has stayed with Daniela twice so far, and she has been very communicative, she has given him his medicine, and she has pictures and videos of him. Thank you for being a great Pet Sitter which we can trust leaving Komen with. We also had to extend our stay both times and she accommodated us.”
“Michele was an excellent sitter for my 2 Shih Tzu’s. She communicated very well and gave me timely updates. She also made sure to follow all the care instructions I provided. I would recommend Michele and will be rebooking with her.”
“Susan is the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Our dog received the best care we could ever ask for. I highly recommend Susan she is dedicated, caring and loves taking care of pets. Anyone needed a pet sitter can be assure they will be love. Thank you Susan it was a stress free weekend, it was so important to us that our dog would be loved.”
“Highly recommend Sebastian! He watched my Doberman, Vic, for 3 nights and provided an excellent stay. Sebastian was incredibly communicative and reassuring, making me feel completely at ease. I loved receiving the frequent photo and video updates. We will definitely book with him again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bright Star
Langston is the epitome of “leaving your fur baby with family.” I know Denz is taken care of in a like manner of how he is cared for at home. I always complete a walk through of where my pup is kept and I love that he houses the pups in their own mini room. I’ve visited other sitters where they use crates stacked on top of each other which Denz does not like. The backyard is a huge sniff spot and Mosco is a well mannered gentle host-pup. Langston is great so I’m leaving this post but I’m also crossing my fingers that new clients don’t take over his availability. 🤞 My pup needs to play, when I decide to play. Thanks Langston and Mosco!!
Nadine is always great! My Kobe always looks happy in the pictures and when I come to get him, he acts as though he has been well taken care of. This is always a plus for me because in dealing with other sitters in the past, he has acted like something was wrong and just wanted to get out of there. I will continue to book with Nadine! She is my absolute favorite!
Our pup had another great stay with Gwendolyn and Dutch! I’m always amazed at how social her fur baby, Dutch, is to the dog guests. He extends as much hospitality as Gwendolyn. There’s not enough stars to give these two hosts. It’s always a great visit with Gwendolyn and Dutch!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,721 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bright Star. 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.
96% of sitters in Bright Star 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 Bright Star 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 Bright Star.
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 Bright Star. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Bright Star 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.
