“Kerri was great! She sent pictures. She made Nuggets comfortable. She kept me updated with my baby throughout the day, to reassure me that he is in good hands. She responded quickly to all texts. She also was flexible and very accommodating to letting him stay another night when my flight was delayed. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thanks Kerry.”

“Jennifer and her Family are wonderful. Jennifer agreed to watch Canela in a short notice and she and her family gave her lots of attention. Jennifer kept me updated everyday and send me lots of pictures. I loved knowing how good of a time Canela was having and I felt happy she was in good hands. I am pretty sure that both, Canela and I would be happy if Jennifer and her family can watch her again in the future.”

“Johnnica was a recommendation from another sitter and I’m so glad we booked with her! She was super friendly and great with Barley. Her property is lovely and set up really well for dog sitting. I got plenty of updates and everything ran really smoothly. I also appreciated how flexible Johnnica was about drop off and pick up times! We will absolutely book again!”

“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”

Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.”

About: I have dedicated my whole life to the study of animal behavior and caring for them to the best of my ability. I have worked various jobs and owned various types of pets of my own, and strongly pride myself in my ability to go beyond the bare minimum for the animals in my care. My experience and Capabilities.. - I am certified in animal first Aid & CPR - Along with my first Aid training, I received extensive training in the handling of behaviorally complicated dogs & cats, and handling dogs and cats with medical challenges such as seniors, epilepsy, diabetes, etc. I am comfortable with offering medication to even more difficult pets. - experience rescuing and caring for dogs and cats of all ages. - versatile knowledge in different breeds, handling show dogs, grooming dogs, etc. - ample experience at professional boarding facilities, monitoring and caring for up to 180 dogs and many cats during the holiday season at the facility. - advanced knowledge in dog body language, training, and general care. - I have rescued animals, rehabilitated them, and helped with their adoptions. - I have handled AKC sport and show dogs, and worked alongside ethical dog breeders. - All-in-all, my goal is to be the kind of person you can trust to go above and beyond for your pets. I refuse to settle for the bare minimum, and I know it's hard to trust just anyone to care for your pets the way you do. I strive to be that reliable for each and every one of my clients. I have ample free time, and find myself at my best spending all of it keeping myself busy with the animals in my care. Otherwise, I do not stay busy. I have never enjoyed anything more. I have a fenced in yard, and never leave dogs unsupervised outside even for a moment. My house is large and spacious, meaning any other animals in my care can be separated and cared for adequately individually as needed. Pets are cared for adequately based on their individual needs. I do not settle for the bare minimum, your pet will be happy, comfortable and thriving in my care. I provide daily updates and pictures!

“Jessica was great with our baby. We have never left her with anyone and we did not know what to expect but she sent us pictures and let us know what was going on. She answered the messages and kept us informed. She even gave our baby her special homemade food because she was not eating at first. I would definitely recommend her.”

Caring for them comes naturally to me. We have a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime and I’m happy to take your pup on daily walks to keep them happy and healthy.

Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home all day to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

“Alex is wonderful!! We booked Alex to sit our dog for 9 days, and she sent us multiple pictures everyday with updates so we didn’t miss a beat. Alex even met up with me before she was scheduled to sit, so that our dog could get comfortable with her, and you could tell through the pictures she sent, that he was very comfortable during his stay. Alex was also accommodating and flexible with our pick up time, as our flight landed pretty late. I would recommend Alex to my friends and will definitely book her when we go out of town again!!”

“We were a little reluctant to leave Sophie and Lilah for a week while we were out of town. Thank goodness we found Robin, she took great care of our girls. She sent us pictures and videos everyday. In the pur daily pictures, our girls looked happy and even looked like they were smiling. It put our minds at ease and we could really relax knowing our pups were being well cared for. When we brought them home, they were exhausted from playing. We immediately booked another date with Robin. I highly recommend Robin if you need to board your pups. Great experience.”

Christy was able to take my booking last minute and I'm so appreciative. She and her family were great with my 10 year old Glizzy. She sent me pictures several times a day and Glizzy appeared to be very content at their house. Glizzy got lots of love from Christy and her family. Will definitely use again and I recommend Christy to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ellerslie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ellerslie is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ellerslie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

98% of sitters in Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie.

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 Ellerslie. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 Ellerslie 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.
