“Great care giver to our dog!!! She asked questions to get familiar with how our dog lives her daily life. In turn she replicated what she could to make our dog comfortable. Daily activity was reported with pictures. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. When our dog was picked up she nudged her nose on Katherine in thanks.”



“We were so happy to find Yuwadee! She was kind enough to take time out of her busy day for a meet and greet ahead of time. She has a wonderfully spacious fenced-in yard to allow for plenty of exercise and opportunities for smelling enrichment. We have two dogs who need a lot of attention in different ways. Tosh is a 17.5-year-old Doberman mix who is on many medications and has some incontinence and mobility issues. Trying to get him to take all his pills is a major, time-consuming challenge. Our other dog, Tatsu (Japanese for little dragon) is a 5-year-old English Setter with enough energy to run 18 miles a day given the chance. She is also an escape artist and gets into everything. Given their opposing tendencies, I find boarding them at even the best facilities doesn’t give them the individual attention they need. Yu did such a great job of getting Tosh’s medication in him that he was walking the best I’ve seen him in years when I picked him up! Yu was very communicative before and during our trip to keep us updated and fine-tune their typical routines to understand our dogs better. We look forward to using her services in the future when we travel. I can’t recommend Yu enough! I would give her ten stars if I could!”


“Our sweet fur baby recently stayed with Jeffrey and his lovely wife for the first time. She got lots of attention and play time. They have a beautiful home that is well suited for pets. We received lots of pictures, which helped alleviate any worries we had about a stay with a new sitter. We are very happy to have found someone we can trust when we need a sitter in the future.”


“Heather and her kids (Anneliese and Andrew) are absolutely amazing!!! I can't express enough how grateful I am that we found her. During our vacation in Hayesville, the place we stayed at didn't allow dogs, so I turned to Rover to find someone to watch my 8-month-old golden retriever for the five days we were in town. Heather responded quickly and was incredibly flexible, making the whole process so easy. She was only 10 minutes away, and on our hiking days, we would pick him up to take him with us for a few hours before dropping him back off. He would excitedly sprint out of the car, eager to play with the other pups she had! He truly enjoyed staying with her, and she treated him as if he were her own. We received countless pictures of him having a blast, which gave us such peace of mind. Knowing that our pup was having an amazing vacation just like we were made all the difference. Heather's care and kindness were a true blessing, and we couldn't be more thankful!”


“Darby was an excellent host for our German shepherd for the day while we went whitewater rafting in north Georgia. She kept us updated and was very accommodating. I highly recommend Darby for for pet sitting needs. When we’re back in north Georgia we will be working with Darby again.”


“We went on a family vacation and Allison watched our fur baby, Browning. She kept me updated everyday. Told me about everything. Her fur baby, Jaxx, was so sad that Browning was going home! He was crying and trying to get Browning out of my car. Browning and Jaxx had a great time! I will definitely rebook if I ever go back to Ellijay! It was fantastic!”


“Len exceeded my expectations! My dog seemed to love staying with her and her family. I was super worried about leaving him as he gets separation anxiety but he felt right at home! He even slept in the bed with her. She was very responsive and sent texts and pics every day. Highly recommend Len and I will definitely be using her again!”



“My dog Lily stayed with Amanda last week. Amanda is very friendly and LOVES dogs. My dog Lily was treated as one of the family. I loved getting the pictures and updates daily. Lily was very comfortable staying with Amanda. I will definitely book with Amanda again as well as refer her to friends.”


“Ashley was great and so sweet to our Lollie. She has a gorgeous backyard and deck. Lollie had a great weekend with Ashley and her two dogs. We will be booking again. Thank you, Ashley!”



“Robin is an excellent Dog Sitter. We will definitely give her a Five Star rating. She has the perfect set up in her house for comfort and play time for the dogs. She responds immediately when asked questions about our dog and she included pictures. When we went to pick our dog up, she had all her stuff ready and gave us a very nice review of our dog's stay with her. My dog was very happy and so excited with Robins care. We will do Dog Boarding again with Robin for sure. Thank you Robin for taking care of our dog!!”


“Nicholas went above and beyond the call of duty. As soon as we arrived we felt safe and felt our pet was in good hands. He communicated with us and was very flexible. He sent picture to show that he was doing well. He walked him and fed him. I will certainly use his services again. Also this was my first time using Rover and the service did not disappoint.”


“Charlie had a great time! Leaving him at home with a sitter caused him anxiety--he didn't want to be left alone and would stop eating. Instead, he stayed in a pet-friendly environment with 2 other dogs, and a couple cats. Stefanie was very responsive to my concerns about Charlie.”

“Angela took great care of our sweet boy. She was warm and welcoming. Bubba was allowed to have the roam of the house, just like when he is home. She has a large fenced backyard that he could play in. She read all the information I had posted in Rover prior to our arrival, so she knew what to expect. We were attending a wedding in the area, and do not live nearby, or she would be our “go to” sitter.”
