“Here’s a brief review you can use for Rover: ⸻ My dog absolutely loves Emmanuel! With my busy travel schedule, she’s stayed with him several times this month, and each time she’s so excited to go back. Her tail starts wagging the moment we arrive, and I can tell she feels right at home.”
“Katie and her family are so excellent!!! We can tell our dog was so cared for and there was great communication start to finish. We received lots of pics and videos of our dog having an absolute blast while she was there. Their fenced in backyard is also perfect for pets. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Katherine and her family took great care of our dog Trigger. We enjoyed the pictures and her boys took good care of him. I could tell he enjoyed his time there and I’m sure we’ll book again!”
“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Lena was the best with our 15 year old chihuahua Sophie. She kept us updated throughout the 2 weeks we boarded with her. Sophie loved it there and would have stayed longer I'm sure. I will definitely use Lena again in the future.”
“Another great stay here. I know that my dog is taken well cared for while she is there. This is most important to me as my little girl is so old now. Great communication and very good sitter. Thank you!”
“Oh my goodness…. If I could give Auburn a million stars I would. She’s VERY sweet and treated my baby like hers. Cookie was very comfortable and felt right at home. When I picked her up she was very clean and smelled wonderful. I can’t say thank you enough or give Auburn enough stars. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lauren was perfect! She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took our dog for walks even though she had a fenced in yard. Her son & daughter were gentle and great with our dog as well. I truly appreciate the attention to detail she showed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“Excellent boarding for our giant dogs! Just what we needed. No stress, no worry, great communication. We will definitely be using time and again. Thanks for an effortless service!”
“Stosh is extremely responsive, engaging and clearly loves dogs. When my flight was 4 hours delayed due to weather and I show up frazzled and apologetic, he was completely understanding and accommodating to the change. He sent us pictures and our dog came home tired from a great walk and not stressed-out needing time to decompress like she does from the usual kennel/dog boarder company. I couldn’t be more grateful. Please don’t use him because his schedule is already full and I had to rebook several weeks away. He’s that good… so please, stay away — so we can use him! 😊”
“Review for Angie, Our Pet Sitter We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our beloved golden, Islay, to Angie for 8 days, and it was truly one of the best experiences for our fur baby. Angie, along with Estovan, provided exceptional care at their home, creating a warm and loving environment that made Islay feel right at home. Their attentiveness, kindness, and genuine affection for Islay were evident from the start. Angie and Estovan are truly angels for our fur baby, going above and beyond to ensure Islay's comfort and happiness. We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their pets. Islay was very comfortable and was actually missing them so much. We continued to receive regular updates and pictures. We ar eso glad to have found such wonderful People thru Rover. I am Always going to sit my islay at Angie’s. Thanks a zillion Angie. You guys are the best.”
“Nicole was amazing with our Cherry girl! She sent daily updates and was the perfect home for her on our weekend away. We have friends with dogs and we have already recommended Nicole for a pet sitter to them!”
“We had a great experience with Mya! She watched our dog Ruby at her house. We got tons of pictures and communication. I felt comfortable knowing my demanding dog was getting all the snuggles she needs. Mya is clearly a dog person who will treat your pet like her own. We will definitely book again!”
“Our girl, Sparkles, truly enjoyed her stay with Lesley. She was treated like one of the family, had a great time playing with Lesley’s dogs, and I was sent lots of photos of Sparkles enjoying herself. :) I also loved the idea that Lesley was home most of the day so my girl didn’t have to feel nervous about staying home alone in a house she was unfamiliar with. Thanks, Lesley!”
“Karen and her husband are so kind and caring. Great communication and lots of pics and videos. Karen cared for both of my girls, one of whom was sick, and she stayed in touch with me the whole time we were away. Don’t hesitate to book with her. I would book again in a heartbeat. My babies were in excellent hands!”
“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”

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 Buffington 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 Buffington.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Buffington 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.
