“She took great care of my baby! She sent pictures and had quick communication. She gave Pluto the extra attention she needed and plenty of outside time. I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries.”
“My Twix loved Hanifah and her sweet puppy Egypt from the moment he met them. I was very comfortable leaving him while my husband and I went on vacation. She sent Picts, and constantly kept me updated. She truly loved my puppy as her own, i loved her so much, I just rebooked her!”
“Montel was a great host for Keela! He was welcoming and made his stay comfortable. The back yard was humongous! Plenty of space for Keela to explore. I loved hearing he was very relaxed the entire stay and was well behaved indoors and out. I think he liked being on vacation. Needless to say anytime we travel to Atlanta, we’ve found our sitter. We truly appreciated the level of care Keela received.”
“Janet is an excellent fur baby sitter!!! I have never left my dog with anyone but Janet made me feel very comfortable leaving Roxy with her for six days. She messaged me and sent pics every single day. She even messaged me before I arrived the day I picked Roxy up. She spoiled her rotten I could see she was well taken care of while under Janet’s care. If I need pet sitting in the future Janet will be the first person I book. I hope she continues to open her home for dog care because she really cares about your baby as much as you do. Thanks Janet for your kindness and attentiveness while caring for Roxy. Your the BEST!!!”

“Super great with updates and understanding I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. He looked like he was super happy and I really appreciated all the pictures”
“Ms. Wendy was very gentle with my furry daughter, Na’vi. She was very communicative with me and sent me pictures everyday and updates on how Na’vi was doing. She is very professional and straightforward with the way she provides her service but makes sure we felt comfortable before Na’vi’s stay.”
“Shanique was very professional and personable. Her accommodations were pleasantly clean and dog friendly. I loved the updates and pics of Bruk as he displayed happy behavior while in Shanique’s care. I am so happy to be blessed with a caring dog sitter whom I trust and admire.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter who understands that your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re family. My goal is to make your furry family members feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup wants to spend the day playing and going for walks or your senior pet prefers a quiet afternoon with extra cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐶 I’m especially comfortable caring for: • Puppies & young pets – potty-training reinforcement, basic commands, patience, playtime, and helping establish good routines. • Senior pets – gentle care, slower walks, extra attention, medication reminders, and accommodations for pets who need a little more TLC. • High-energy pets – walks, play, exercise, and mental stimulation to help keep those tails wagging! • Pets with specific routines – I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, bedtime, and other routines. • Shy or anxious pets – I use patience and a calm approach to allow them to build trust at their own pace. I believe the little things matter—from keeping your pet on their normal schedule to sending you updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I want you to enjoy your time away without worrying about whether your pet is happy and well cared for. My promise to you: I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. 🐾 I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! I currently work from home remotely and take periodic breaks to take the dogs in the yard out for pottie breaks and for play and enrichment time. I have a fenced yard and two playful dogs to keep your family member company. 🏡 A Safe, Loving Home Away From Home When your pet stays in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. Pets are supervised and given plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and opportunities to rest. I’m especially mindful of puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or a little more one-on-one care. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and being well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
About: I was raised around dogs and I grew up walking and playing with dogs of many different breeds. As an adult, I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm a nature lover so I enjoy spending time outside. I'm available for overnight care on weekends and Friday evenings. I work during the day but in the evenings I am generally free most days. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood and I have a few parks within walking distance of my house where dogs are welcome.
“Asante was very friendly and communicated well throughout the entire time my dog stayed with her. She took care of him and made sure to send lots of pics and updates the whole time! She was also very flexible if plans slightly changed which was appreciated! I would definitely have her watch my fur baby again.”
“Grateful that Lauren watched my senior pug while I was on a work trip! He requires special instructions and I’m so glad he is in good spirits. Appreciated the daily communication/ updates.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Zeus received during his stay. I was away for a couple of weeks spending much-needed time with family, and knowing Zeus was in such good hands allowed me to truly focus on being present and enjoy that time without constantly worrying about how he was doing. This was the longest we’ve been apart in a very long time, so naturally I was a little nervous about leaving him. The communication throughout his stay made such a huge difference. I received messages and/or videos two to three times a day with updates on how Zeus was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the time, attention, patience, and love that was given to Zeus. It means so much to be able to leave him with someone I can trust and know that his well-being is genuinely a priority. I came home knowing he had been taken care of and loved while I was away, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy, Zeus! I’m incredibly appreciative and would absolutely trust you with him again. ❤️🐾
Mary Claire has been an absolute godsend over the past 3 years. She never fails to keep us informed about how our Koko is doing while we’re away. Koko loves her some Mary Claire and I trust her with health and safety of our furbaby when we’re gone. Highly highly recommend.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ellenwood is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 per night.

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 Ellenwood 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 Ellenwood home-away-from-home, 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 Ellenwood.
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.
You and your Ellenwood 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 , 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 .
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.
