“Gina helped us with a last minute booking, she had great communication and took fantastic care of our dog. She sent great update photos and we will be definitely using her in the future!”
“Ankita was fantastic. She sent to many pictures and videos, they played ball, and took walks! Thank you so much for watching our sweet boy and taking care of him for a short weekend stay!”
“OMG! I have had some good boarders for my dog, but Euphemia is my absolute favorite. She communicated with me so much throughout the day. She sent videos and photos of all of my dog's daily activities. I was so impressed how well my dog got alone with her dog. Spirit(my dog) seems a little sad because she had to come back home. I will definitely let her board my dog in the future. She is the best!”
“Wow is the perfect word to describe Megan and her boyfriend! They are absolutely amazing, and our 8-year-old Goldendoodle, Teddy, couldn’t have been in better hands. They treated her like their own pup, and their sweet dog, Hazel, helped Teddy feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and highly recommend them!”
About: I genuinely love animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care as if they were my own. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and stress-free while you're away. I currently work from home which allows me to provide consistent, attentive, and personalized care. I have plenty of time to give pets love, play, and regular updates. I have a spacious, secure three-story townhome and access to backyard space as well as a private neighborhood dog park, providing a safe and enriching environment for pets.

“Ashley was fantastic with our cat, Buster! She was extremely communicative, went above and beyond during the pickup process, and made us feel comfortable while we were traveling internationally. Will book again!”
“There’s no place like Charles’s to Spencer. Spencer is an anxious lil guy and Charles always finds a way to bring out the best in Spencer. There are not many places Spencer will settle at and forget I’m gone. He thoroughly enjoys being one of the bunch at Charles’s. Charles takes very good , attentive, loving care of Spencer’s needs. I’m so grateful we stumbled into this lil doggie camp which can handle the old timer Pup’s like Spencer”
“Key was amazing! Her dog, Kofi, was sweet, calm, and the perfect companion to keep my pup company. Key sent daily photos and updates, was professional throughout the stay, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. 10/10, I would definitely book with her again! 🐾😊🐕🦺”
“Jazzmine was wonderful with my dog, Finley! She was so accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Finley left so happy after playing all day long with Cosmo! Would absolutely book again.”
About: I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I know firsthand that are family. I'm an experienced dog and cat parent with a special place in my heart for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've cared for senior dogs through age-related health challenges, including mobility limitations, chronic conditions, and daily medication routines. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort. My experience also includes raising and caring for a young cat, navigating everything from playful kitten energy to more complex medical needs. I'm comfortable with different temperaments, administering medications as instructed, maintaining feeding routines, and providing gentle, attentive care. What sets me apart is how seriously I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's beloved companion. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in another person's hands, and I want you to feel confident that they're receiving the same love, attention, and respect I'd give my own. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, a patient companion, or a little extra TLC, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend most of my time working from home alongside my 10-year-old Chihuahua, Babette! On the three days I visit the office, I'm typically only away for a few hours before returning home. Our daily routine includes morning, afternoon, and evening walks, plenty of companionship, and access to an outdoor potty area for those unexpected emergencies. I'm happy to accommodate potty breaks every 4–6 hours, including overnight when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day while keeping your pet's routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home or leave your beloved companion in their care. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable environment with plenty of companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks. I share my home with Babette, my sweet 10-year-old Chihuahua, and always prioritize safe, gradual introductions and respect for each animal's personal space. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite activities. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and will communicate any concerns promptly. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents connected. You can expect regular photo updates, thoughtful communication, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is receiving genuine love and individualized attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“My husband and I can’t express enough how much we loved Doug and how he took care of our pups! He sent consistent pictures and updates the whole time we were away! Great communicator and answered ll of our questions and punctual. Defiantly would recommend Doug to pup-sit!! Will absolutely request his services again for our next time!”
“Samma and Richard were once again great with Paisley! They send the best updates and are quickly communicative about any concerns, which is greatly appreciated!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Decatur
We had such a wonderful experience with Casey and Joshua! ❤️ Leaving Nala can be stressful because she’s diabetic and requires several medications throughout the day, but they were incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating with her needs. Casey was more than willing to learn her routine, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood how to care for Nala properly. That meant so much to us. They did an amazing job keeping us updated throughout the weekend, and we could tell that Nala was in loving, caring hands. She seemed to be very well taken care of, and for the first time, I truly felt at ease and at peace leaving her with someone else. You can genuinely tell that Casey and Joshua love dogs and treat them with so much care and attention. We are so happy we found them! It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with a pup who has extra medical needs, and we feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful couple. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable, and attentive pet sitters! 🐾❤️
Jax was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! They’ve never been cared for by anyone other than my parents, so I was pretty nervous leaving them for 10 days. One of my dogs can be a little feisty and challenging, so finding someone I felt comfortable leaving them with was especially important to me. Jax did such a great job making both dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also sent lots of updates and photos, and I really appreciated being able to see how they were doing. It meant so much to know they were in good hands and being cared for so well. I’m incredibly grateful to Jax and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is patient, caring, and genuinely wonderful with their pets! ❤️
Kamron was absolutely wonderful with our elderly cat, B, while we were out of the country getting married. He sent us photos every day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind—especially since this was our first time ever leaving her with a sitter. B takes a lot of medications, and Kamron was incredibly attentive and responsible about administering them. He asked thoughtful questions ahead of time to ensure everything was completely clear, and we felt totally comfortable trusting him with her care. We can’t thank Kamron enough for taking such wonderful care of B. We will absolutely continue booking with him for as long as we can and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Ericka is quite wonderful - she watched our frenchie Cosmo while my wife and were out of town for a long weekend. Her place is perfect for dogs and she has an awesome fenced-in back yard. She sent great updates every day with hilarious pictures and videos. She took excellent care of our little gremlin and was very mindful of his outdoor time in the heat, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Ericka to watch anyone’s pet, and we hope she can watch Cosmo again in the future if she’ll have him (even though he’s worthless when it comes to helping out with the yard work, ha!).
Samantha and her pup were so inviting that my Laney felt right at home as soon as she arrived. It was the first time I have left her with a sitter that she wasn’t stressed out upon arrival. She had a great time with Samantha and was well cared for. She will definitely be going back. Thank you!!
Sarah was great! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands. She was easy to communicate with, dependable, and made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to happy pups! We really appreciate her and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!
My cat has never been boarded before, so I was a little anxious about using Rover for the first time. I booked with Erica to board my cat for about 5 days. I could not have chosen a better person! Erica is so sweet, communicative, and wonderful with cats! She was super patient and understanding with my cat as he adjusted to boarding. I got regular updates with cute videos and pictures of my cat playing and relaxing! She was also very helpful during the drop-off and pick up process! I was able to breathe while being out of town knowing that Erica was taking the best care of my cat! She really got to know my cat: how he likes to eat, play, and be pet. I think he really enjoyed his stay with her! The next time I'm out of town, Erica will be my go to!
This was our first experience boarding our mini Bernadoodle, Alfi. From the initial meet and greet we felt Alfi would be in good hands and have an environment like home - no crate, large yard to run in, and plenty of pets. We received updates a few times a day and saw him playing, chilling, and just overall loving his new friends. Alfi will definitely board with Josh in the future.

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
