“All 3 of our pups loved their stay with Lauren and her family. Our oldest dog seemed so at ease when we picked them up and we were most worried about her. Looking forward to their next stay if they will have us. Thank you thank you!”
“I am grateful that Desiree was willing to take our dog over the holidays when our boarding plans were canceled. Her home is in a rural location and excellent for dogs who are accustomed to an outdoor setting. Our pet was well taken care of and we received daily pictures.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! Our dog was SO well taken care of while she was with Stephanie and her family. We got lots of pictures, videos and updates and felt completely at ease the whole time we were on vacation. We would 100% recommend using Stephanie!”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“Kristen has been our go-to pet sitter for two years. When our pups stay with her, we know they’ll get plenty of love and interaction. It’s a fun vacation for them, and we rest easy knowing they are in good hands. She is always great about sending us pictures and updates. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a sitter. 🐶”
“Destiny was fantastic! Communication was great, and we got daily updates/pictures of our dog. We were confident our pup was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely be using her again 😊.”
“Jaxen was amazing! First time leaving my pup with someone other than my friends/ family and I was completely at ease. She sent daily updates and my pup was so happy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip!”
“Stephanie was amazing and I can tell my girly had a wonderful time with her! She came home happy and exhausted in the best way! I will definitely be booking with Stephanie again.”
“I hate leaving Barkley when he is out of town but he seems really happy when he stays with Megan. She sends picture updates and it’s nice to know he is well taken care of and loved while we are out of town.”
“Nancy and Stan continue to be our go to because they’re responsive, keep us updated, and they’re so accommodating with our one high needs dog. Highly recommend!”
“Julie and Buster were the absolute best doggy sitters for our recent trip. Our little man so well taken care of and Julie was great about sending updates and pictures. Thanks again Julie! Would highly recommend her care service to anyone.”
“Gosh we loved Gaby! She was so flexible with our schedule and took the best care of Maisy. She made sure to send pictures and kept us updated throughout Maisy’s stay. Will definitely use her again and again! This was our first experience with rover and it makes it so much easier when you know there are people out there that love dogs as much as our family does!”
“Christina is absolutely wonderful. I would definitely leave my Ember with her anytime. Christina has a nice house (and yard) which Ember loved because she played fetch with the tennis ball in the house (video sent to me while on vacation). I really like that Christina lets dogs in her house where they get one-on-one time with a person, instead of outside in a kennel away from frequent human interaction. Communication was excellent.”
“Tish takes fantastic care of Baxter. She is like a second mom to him. She sends us updates which are a real treat when we are away. Baxter loves going to see Tish.”
“Brandi and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and had great communication. I felt completely confident our dog was safe and taken care of. Our dog was a little dramatic with their sweet older dog and Brandi was so kind navigating that (was totally our dog’s fault).”
“Carrie’s as good as it gets! It was the first time we left our little guy without us—5 nights—and I was a worried mama. Carrie couldn’t have done more for him—or me! She took such good care of him. And she made sure I knew exactly how he was doing throughout every day we were gone. Plus, he wasn’t always an angel, and she took it all in stride. Very cool woman and dog sitter. 10/10”
“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”
“Bruno loved his stay with Jenny! He came home extremely happy, just as he was when I had dropped him off for his stay. Received daily communication with photos and videos and if any questions came up I was contacted immediately. Will definitely be booking Bruno again with Jenny. Thank you for taking great care of my baby while I was on vacation!!!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”

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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville.
<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 Cartersville 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 AL 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.
