“Over the last seven years, Sophia has provided Bailey with excellent overnight boarding care whenever we travel to places where dogs cannot follow. The dropoff and pickup experiences are easy and efficient. We always get at least a dozen pictures daily of Bailey happily interacting with the other dogs. Bailey is well cared for on her visits and has a spring in her step when we pick her up. I strongly recommend Sophia for her care with dogs!”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Wonderful experience. Tracey and her family were such caring and communicative sitters, tending to Ivy's "old lady" preferences and surrounding her with love.We are so appreciative and will definitely be in touch next time we travel.”
“Evvery is an exceptional dog caretaker. She is responsible and a fantastic communicator. Got great pictures and videos. I have already booked Evvery for 3 more stays, 2 of which are for 2 weeks periods. I think that should say it all.”
“Ms. Shannon was absolutely wonderful! This was Toby’s first time staying with her, and it was a 10+ day stay, so naturally, we wanted to make sure he was in good hands. Ms. Shannon was so accommodating and open to meeting beforehand so we could all get acquainted and comfortable before the extended stay. That meant a lot to us and gave us peace of mind. Throughout his stay, she took excellent care of Toby and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and willingness to make the experience a positive one, especially for his first time away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Ms. Shannon.”
“My Golden had a wonderful 2 week stay with Karen. She sent videos and pictures everyday. Her whole family is so sweet and she has a beautiful property! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.”
“Chash, we can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you gave our pup this week! Tons of walks, play time and cuddles.. we couldn’t ask for anything more! We would HIGHLY recommend Chash to anyone that wants their fur baby to be well loved. We so appreciated all the daily updates and photos. And even sending our pup home with some sweet new treats, so thoughtful! Our dog Birdie can’t wait to stay with Chash again 💕”
“Thank you so much for looking after him like family! He came back super happy. I genuinely appreciated the constant feedback. And Coco wasn’t sad when I picked him up! We will be back again! Can’t be more grateful!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first connected, Tatyana was kind, professional, and truly caring. They treated my pup like family—sending me regular updates, pictures, and even little notes about how the day was going. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved.”
“Andrea and Michael were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! Our lab is a bit introverted but they made her feel right at home and both dogs were very happy in the photos they sent and when we came for pickup. We had a last minute adjustment on our drop off time and they were wonderfully accommodating. I’m so grateful that they took such good care of our sweet girls!”
“Deborah, her daughter, and their dog Lotus are absolutely wonderful. I left my dog with them for a week and couldn’t have been happier! My girl was so well cared for and received tons of love and attention. The photos and videos they shared truly put me at ease and showed how much fun she was having. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating to both of us. I would highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie has watched my dog Tucker now multiple times and takes wonderful care of him! Tucker is always so happy when we pick him up and always looks forward to going to stay with her. Highly recommend!!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Yuhui to anyone. Chester had a wonderful time with her! She is super attentive and takes great care of my dog. This was my first time booking Yuhui, and we are already looking forward to having Chester stay with her again when we are out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Maggie and Marco did an excellent job with my Lola!!! They sent videos and pictures everyday and responded to all my questions! I will definitely ask for Lola to stay with them again the future - thanks again ??”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Phil and Amanda while we were out of the country for ten days. The pups had many walks, and Phil and Amanda sent pics daily. I could tell that our dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them watch over our dogs anytime. We even had a late arrival back into the country, and Phil dropped them off at our house to save us an extra trip that evening. I could tell they take pet boarding seriously and have a lot of fun doing it. I would rate them a top 5% rover sitter!”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dawsonville
*The BEST pet boarder I've ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️* I boarded my baby CZU with Sanjay and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sanjay was absolutely the best boarder I have ever had! My DC trip went so smoothly knowing my pup was in Sanjay's hands. He kept me updated and took such amazing care of CZU. CZU was happy to see me when I got back, but honestly it seemed like he wanted to stay back with Sanjay! That's how comfortable and loved he felt. Anytime I'm in the area, I know exactly who to go to for my baby. Thank you Sanjay!

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.
94% of sitters in Dawsonville 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 Dawsonville 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 Dawsonville.
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 Dawsonville. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Dawsonville 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 MD 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.
