“Lauren took great care of our 2 golden doodles while we visited the Gatlinburg area! We were so happy and thankful she was able to keep them. She sent us several pictures of them having tons of fun at her farm! Thank you Lauren! 10/10 would recommend! ⭐️❤️”
“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).”
“Lola seemed to really enjoy her stay with Tish. She had lots of sweet furry friends to hang out with while we were away. She came back to us calm and relaxed like she'd been at a spa. I highly recommend Tish as a sitter. She is clearly experienced with many different dog breeds and has a perfect demeanor for putting your pup at ease. You can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands.”
“Kept me informed about my little Boston daily. With pictures and videos, I didn't feel as isolated from him as I had anticipated I would be.I saw he was enjoying his walks and cuddling and visiting the outdoors. Boston was on medications and Terri kept me informed of his progress. Thanks!”
“I cannot recommend Destiny highly enough. From the moment I first met her, I could immediately tell she had a warm, gentle, and genuinely kind spirit—the exact calm, reassuring energy I knew my anxious dog needed. Leaving a nervous pet in someone else’s care is never easy, but Destiny put all my worries to rest right away. She has an intuitive, patient approach to animals, understanding how to meet them at their own pace without pushing boundaries. Under her watchful and affectionate care, my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and settled. Destiny is dependable, communicative, and truly attentive to every little routine and detail. It is rare to find someone who combines true professionalism with such heartfelt compassion. Anyone would be extraordinarily lucky to have Destiny care for their four-legged family member, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Megan was so great with my dog Oreo. She sent pictures and reassured me that things were going great. I think my dog has a new best friend with her dog. They had a wonderful play date/sleep over. I highly recommend Megan, and I know I will be working with her again.”
“I am so grateful and satisfied with Giulia services. She was flexible and her entire family were very loving to Scarlette. She and her family took care of Scarlette like it was her own dog. She sent me pictures with updates and Scarlette returned home very happy. Great person, great family. I highly recommend her. Thank you Giulia.”
“Karie was wonderful! Communicative via messages and sending photos, took my dog on multiple walks a day, and in general cared for him as one of her own. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Hershey loved staying with Crista during our visit to Chattanooga! Gave my girlfriend and I peace of mind while we were out exploring and sent regular updates and even did an impromptu photoshoot with him which was adorable. Would book again!”
“Tiffany was so sweet and helpful with my little dog Louis. She sent lots of pictures and even gave him a bath when he got dirty. I can tell he was having a great time with her and her little dog. I would definitely let Louis stay with her any time I'm out of town.”
“Avery took care of Mortimer. A dog that is stand offish… he took to Avery immediately!! I couldn’t be any happier and thrilled that we and Mo have a Rover friend we trust so much!!!”
About: I’m experienced caring for all kinds of dogs, from high-energy breeds like GSPs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to laid-back pups who are happiest lounging by your side. I’m also comfortable caring for medically complex dogs, including dogs with seizures, injuries, and daily medication needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute pet care needs. I have a fenced-in yard and easy access to trails right behind my house, so pups can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether they’re up for a long adventure in the woods or just a quick romp around the yard. I’m happy to work with each dog’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and individual quirks or needs. Whether caring for a pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and love having them around. We have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever of our own who is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. At least one of us is always around to keep your dog company and provide supervision. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and downtime. We understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and we’ll make sure yours feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. My husband works remotely, and I work part-time. Between the two of us, at least one is always home to provide supervision, company, and attention. We can fit walks, playtime, meals, and rest into our daily routine while following your pet’s usual schedule. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play, as well as a crate available if needed or preferred. We also have a friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever. We’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they have a comfortable environment. We’re happy to discuss any specific needs or preferences before their stay.
“Dominique and her family welcomed our two dogs with open and loving arms. The dogs clearly had a great time. Great communication. Lots of photos and lots of walks. We really appreciate it!”
“My dog was so happy spending several days and nights with Kailin. She made him feel right at home and sent regular updates and pictures for me. He is super rested and comfortable after his stay and got lots of love and attention while he was there. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Absolutely the best caretakers. Her daughter helped and had such a special bonding. My kitties were loved, cared for, and part of the family. Lots of updates and videos that I really appreciated. Thank you so much!! ❤️”
“Staysha was really friendly and extremely kind to my golden doodle Lucy. She sent me pictures and videos of Lucy’s stay at her house, including play time and walkings. Lucy had a wonderful time staying at her house! Highly recommended!”
About: Animals are my life. I’ve had pets since I was a baby and they mean everything to me. I love all and will care for them in any way they need and especially love seeing all the different personalities. I currently have two cats, and dog and a rabbit of my own. My dog does have special needs, which comes along with some anxiety, but he’s really good with other animals. I typically work from home throughout the week but do leave for meetings and showings (real estate agent). That being said, It is a pretty flexible job, so I can work with you to make sure something works out. Every morning my pets are the first task. Taking the dog out, giving my dog his medicine, feeding and making sure all pets have food water. I like to make sure that my pets, and others, are fed and let out on the schedule. If the schedule is a little different than normal, I like to make sure their needs are taken care of at an appropriate time. I don’t want them being hungry, need water or ever have to hold going to the bathroom too long.

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.
94% of sitters in Cartersville 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 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.
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 Cartersville. On Rover:

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 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.
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.
