“I just love love love Ms. Jackie. She keeps me informed on how my baby is doing through the day, she’s always patient with coco since she’s a puppy and we are still working on potty training. Coco always has a good time with Ms. Jackie and her fur friends.”
“Lizdalia and her family were amazing. She came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. My dogs were so happy and adjusted well to her home. She will definitely be my go to person for my furry sons. 🤗”
“Jennie kept my 2 pups for a week. Both pups were happy at her home and obviously were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay! I will definitely use her next time I go out of town!”
“Auburn was absolutely fantastic in caring for our dog, Malo. She went above and beyond not only did she do an excellent job with all the tasks, but she also sent wonderful photos throughout, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We could tell Malo was relaxed and happy in her care. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Highly recommend Auburn to anyone looking for dependable, caring, and attentive dog care.”
“Karen and her Husband David were absolutely amazing with Koko! They treated her like family from the moment I dropped her off and kept me updated with sweet messages and photos the entire time. I could tell Koko was happy, comfortable, and well cared for . I had total peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly loving and responsible sitter♥️”
“Kimberly is truly outstanding! She cared for both our dogs—elderly Sid and energetic young Tucker—with such skill and heart that we couldn’t be more grateful. Sid, our senior pup, needs a gentle touch and a predictable routine, and Kimberly handled him with incredible patience and compassion. She made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and never rushed, which gave us total peace of mind. Tucker, on the other hand, is full of energy and curiosity, and Kimberly matched his enthusiasm with fun walks, playtime, and lots of affection. It’s rare to find someone who can adapt so seamlessly to two very different dogs, but Kimberly did it with ease. Her updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear from the photos that both Sid and Tucker felt safe and loved. We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a sitter who’s not only reliable and professional, but also deeply caring. She’s a true dog whisperer!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience as Jillian, and her family made my pups feel like part of the family right away. Thank you again for taking such great care of them, and allowing me to travel without worry!”
“Tatiana was great with our dog Milo. We were out of town for a week and got daily updates. I could tell Milo was having a great time with them and was kept busy the whole week. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Russell was excellent with our fur baby. My dog has high energy. She is a very sharp girl but likes to jump and pull. After a few days with Russell she was listening much better. He even gave me a few tips. He also provided me with information of when she ate and pooped when I picked up. I will definitely rebook with him.”
“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!”
“Tycilea did great with my puppy. I was very nervous leaving him for the first time but she made me feel very comfortable and confident that he would be fine. She sent pics, videos, and updates. Would definitely recommend her in the future and will be booking again.”
About: I grew up on a farm until I was 10. We had family pets and when I was 9 when got my first personal pet, my bunny. His name was Homer. At 10 I got my first personal dog, his name was Woodchuck. He was a shepherd. Our family pets were Yorkies. Later in life I had 3 other rabbits and then many dogs of my own through my adulthood. I had big and small dogs. There was a fun kitty in there too. I remember each and every one of them.I miss them all. I went through several kinds of training when I had an American Staffy left in my yard. We both learned a lot. Jasper was his name and he was my heart for 15 years. Frankly, he still is. I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs. I was a cosmetologist for 34 years. However, I’m unable to do this anymore. I’ve been our house manager,A.K.A domestic goddess, now. I’m home most of the time. My husband and I have 3 senior dogs of our own. I’m at their beck and call. I figured I could do the same for others. I take the pups on daily walks for exercise and to check the doggie social media. We have a nice fenced in yard. Which is escape proof, as far as I know. Large privacy fence and reinforced at the bottom. We also have a doggie door. No worries, I’ll go with your pups outside to supervise. Our dogs sleep where ever they like. They also lounge where ever they like. With that said there is structure. If I’m talking care of your babies, I’ll follow your rules. Teach me your training so I can keep things consistent. If you need any tricks and tips, I’m glad to help. If I’m at your home, I’ll do my best to leave it better than before I arrive. I will be the primary caregiver. However, my husband is home in the evening and on weekends, so there will be extra attention then. At your home, it will just be me, but I’ve have a lot of love to give.
“Talk about a worry free weekend! Lina was absolutely amazing with my two babies! I got constant updates, constant pictures, and a daily report on how they were doing. Not only am I going to use her again, I already have two bookings with her. My dogs were well cared for, loved on. And”
“She was amazing ! As a first time customer I was nervous to leave my baby with a stranger, but with Sierra she gave me frequent updates and texts about him. Everything was easy and simple. I definitely am booking with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cartersville
I I highly recommend this sitter to watch your dog. She did a great job on keeping me informed. Keeping my dog entertained most importantly my dog was safe. When my dog came home yesterday, my dog was completely out of energy. Which is a good thing because that means my dog have fun. Thank you so much for watching my dog and I will be back.

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.
96% 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
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.
