“Marissa is awesome! Super friendly, great with communication, and our dog loves her + Zoey! One of our favorite babysitters and I'm always relaxed when we're out of town, knowing our pup is in great hands.”
“Erin was great with Macy. She sent pictures and videos to show us while we were out of town so we knew what was going on with our girl. We would definitely use Erin in the future.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Krystale! She took such amazing care of Chi-Chi and truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. Being that Chi-Chi is a senior dog, I’m very particular about who I trust with her, and Krystale exceeded my expectations. She was patient, attentive, loving, and treated Chi-Chi like she was her own. I could tell Chi-Chi felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, which meant everything to me. ❤️ Krystale is truly a gem, and I’m so grateful to have found her! I would absolutely trust her with Chi-Chi again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and amazing with their fur baby. **10/10 — highly recommend!** 🐾❤️”
“Owen was great with our two pups! He made our first experience using Rover a great one! He’s very easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our pups stay. He did great with them and they both loved him. His energy is very calming, gentle and kind. You can tell he cares deeply for animals. His yard is truly like a private park for your dog to enjoy and the area where the dogs stay inside is comfortable, spacious, safe and clean. It put our minds at ease having our dogs stay with Owen. No more over stimulating group play boarding for us, we will be back to Owen. Highly recommend!”
“Katie took excellent care of Hazel! She sent me daily updates and pictures. Before Hazel’s stay, we had the chance to meet, and Katie ensured that she was fully informed about Hazel’s needs and personality.”
“Kelsey is amazing! She treated River like her own and kept me updated during their time together. I’ll definitely be rebooking the next time I need a sitter. Thank you again Kelsey!”
“My dog had a great time at Sitong’s place for daycare! He is a sitter I can trust, I know he’ll always do a good job! Appreciated the photos and updates we got throughout the day!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful and our 2 pups loved her! We felt so reassured knowing that they were in her care. Thank you Lauren! We hope to book you again in the future!”
“Zion was great with my senior dog and kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. I would recommend her and will be using her again!! Thank you so much Zion.”
“Sarah was great! This was our first rover experience and our dog’s first time staying with anyone except us or our parents. She gave regular updates and our pup seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Their space is really great for dogs and it was great that they only took small dogs so we knew ours would have some good playmates. We would definitely board with them again.”
“Chrissy is just wonderful! She’s attentive and patient and sends lots of pictures! Our Zuko is pretty anxious and anti social but she made him feel right at home. She was super flexible with us when our flight was cancelled and we had to extend a day. We highly recommend Chrissy!!”
“Luis provided exceptional care for my dog while keeping up unsalted during her stay. Not only did he make sure she had all essentials her treated her as if she was apart of his family. He made entrusting he and his wife with my bundle of joy extremely easy. I would certainly recommend.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my Boston Terrier with Barron. She wasn't feeling well for a few days and Barron was very attentive with her care and kept me updated on how she was doing. I enjoyed the photos and comments that let me know she was having a good time. Zuc has stayed with Barron before and looks forward to staying with him again.”
“Jada makes sure to keep me updated throughout the days she has Blu! Blu loves to cuddle with her and is very comfortable in the environment he is put in. She is a wonderful sitter and takes care of Blu very well!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkston
Fantastic first experience with Erin! She’s clearly a dog person and took excellent care of our boy. Usually after being away from us, he’s exhausted from the anxiousness of it all. This time around, he came home happy and rested. We’ll be reaching out to Erin for all our dog sitting needs go forward!
Melo absolutely loves staying with Kala! She takes such great care of him and always makes sure he feels comfortable and at home. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos. It gives me peace of mind knowing he's happy and well cared for while I'm away. Highly recommend!
Our dog Lyra had another amazing stay with Elisabeth! Our dog stayed for about 1.5 weeks and had a wonderful time cuddling, playing, and going for walks. Elisabeth is very capable and attentive to detail - I trust her entirely with the care of our girl, who can be a bit anxious. Elisabeth administered meds, ran out to the store when they ran out of food, and sent us lots of updates and photos. Elisabeth and her husband are basically our dog's other parents now. :D We will be working with her again next time we need a sitter!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston.
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 Clarkston. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Clarkston 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.
