“Berkeley was immediately excited when he arrived to stay with Annette, despite being such an anxious dog. There were a few other dogs for him to play with and a great fenced in yard to run around in. They even took a trip to the dog park. I’m thankful I found Annette to provide such a safe and loving place for him to stay while we were away!”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Tom and Nikki. Our girls are very high anxiety pups but they seemed so comfortable during their stay. All of the cute videos and pictures we got every day made it much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. They pampered our girls and we are so very grateful. I would definitely recommend and book them again!”

“Before we boarded our puppy, we did a meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. Cassandra did a great job introducing her dogs to ours. They played in the big fenced yard and our puppy was comfortable being in their home. She was quick to respond and the drop off/pick up process was easy. Thanks for taking care of Scout!”

About: I have loved and cared for all sorts of animals (dogs, cats, fish, birds,...) since I was a child. Friends and family know they can count on me to deliver great care for these important members of the family. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages, even anxious pets, and can administer medication. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I am available anytime to care for your pet. I will feed, walk, and snuggle as much as needed, and am happy to send photo updates. I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly 8 year old chiweenie who can easily be separated if your pet isn't ok with other dogs. I am happy to keep your housebroken pet in my home or will travel to yours.

About: Hi! My name is Stefanie and I've been pet sitting since 2016 where I decided to start my side business 'Wag a Little'. I am a very flexible sitter. I can come to you, or I can board them with me. I have two cats and one dog of my own who are great with other animals. My yard is fenced in for the pets to go out and do their business and run around and play! I live in a quiet subdivision and hardly ever have trouble with neighbors and their pets. My pets are up to date on all of their shots, and all I ask is that your pets are as well. (if you have any questions or concerns about certain vaccines, please feel free to ask!) I have worked in the pet industry for a little over 6 years, starting as a sales clerk at a pet store. From there, I've worked in dog training, grooming salons and even dabbled a little in the vet industry. I do offer grooming as well for an additional charge. I will bathe, dry and brush out your pets. I can also clip their nails for you so you don't have to worry about getting scratched! I hope you can consider me to take great care of your fur babies! I will accommodate to all your needs! And give all the snuggles your pets need while you are away. I am home full time other than doing some Instacart on the side, but I am never away from the home for more than 4 hours at a time. And I am more than happy to stay home with your pets if they have separation anxiety. I have a securely fenced in yard for the fur babies to do their business. For exercise, we can play fetch or go for walks! If I am sitting at the owners home, just let me know what your routine is and I'll happily accommodate it.

About: Hi! I’m Madison—former shelter/rescue worker turned specialty animal hospital administrator turned full-time WFH corporate girlie and dog mom. With years of hands-on experience handling everything from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate vibe to every dog I meet. I’ve worked with all temperaments, sizes, and medical needs. Need meds given? No problem. Need someone who won’t freak out over a surprise poop situation? Also no problem. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and excited to hang with their new bestie. 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet care! While I do prefer your pet to stay with me so I can give them the best care throughout the day, I can also accommodate daily visits or home stays depending on my work environment and availability. If you’re looking for daily visits or a home stay, I just ask that your pet’s space is comfortable and that I can provide the attention they need while balancing work. I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, entertained, and safe while I’m working! If you have any special requests or need to discuss a specific schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll make sure we find the best fit for you and your pet. 🐾 When your pet stays with me, they’ll have their own large indoor private space giving them a quiet, comfortable area to call their own. Whether they want to curl up for a nap or enjoy some playtime, they'll have the freedom to relax in their own area. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company, give them potty breaks, and provide plenty of attention. If your pet enjoys snuggling, I’m more than happy to share the couch for some extra cozy moments. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while they’re in their home-away-from-home! Additional information and requirements for boarding: *PLEASE READ* Boarding Requirements: All pets must be up to date on: -Vaccinations -Monthly flea/tick prevention -Monthly heartworm prevention (My personal pets are held to the same standards for everyone's safety) -Crate training is preferred, but flexible based on the dog’s size and needs. -Owners must confirm whether I have permission to take their pet to the vet in case of an emergency. -I remain available via phone or messenger for updates and communication throughout the stay. I am more than happy to take as many photos and videos as you need :) Pet Interaction Policy: While my own dogs will be present in the home, your pet will stay in a separate area and will not interact with them. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of both your pet and mine. Doggy playdates can be arranged based on your pet’s size and temperament.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old! Growing up I have owned 3 dogs and 6 cats for most of my life. I also was a trainer for the guide dog foundation while I was in college so I have extensive training in dog training. I just love getting to spend my time with sweet pets and hope to get to spend time with your furry friend too! I am a teacher and am looking for some extra money on the side! I love pets and want to spend some extra time with them! I am free to care for your pet day and night! I have a fenced in yard at my house that the pets are free to run and play in but if not I love taking dogs on walks to help get that energy out! I also have 2 loving dogs at home that love to play and meet new friends.

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 Carlton home-away-from-home, 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 Carlton.

<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 Carlton 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 , 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 .

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.
