“Ashley was a pleasure to communicate with. When we met for the meet and greet, she showed us around the house and yard where our marley would be spending her 5 days. We immediately felt comfortable and decided that this was a good fit. While we were away, Ashley sent daily pictures and short notes on how our sweet dog was doing. We missed our marley but knew she was running, and playing, and was in a safe place with other dogs. We will use Ashley our next time away. We highly recommend her!”
“Yuwadee is always so great about putting your mind and heart at ease when you leave the fur babies in her care. She takes good care of them and sends photos to let you know that the babies are doing well. I trust her with my dogs completely and feel so thankful for her kindness and top notch service. I've used her services several times now and will hopefully use her many times in the future.”
“Angie was great with Dove! We usually always take Dove with us when we travel but we could not this time. Angie came to our rescue and sent us pictures of her everyday and that helped us relax and know that she was having fun and being well taken care of.”
“Excellent boarding for our giant dogs! Just what we needed. No stress, no worry, great communication. We will definitely be using time and again. Thanks for an effortless service!”
“Monika was fantastic with my 3-year old large golden retriever. He came back home happy and tired - did not want to leave! Monika was great with sending pictures. He got to go to parks where he could play with other dogs and her German Shepard Stella was very cute and well behaved. My dog had a blast and will definitely return!”
“Ms. Pat’s puppy playhouse is the best kept secret in Jasper! Her location is close to Canton, and completely worth the beautiful drive. Our little doxie SuperMan had a blast. Pat kept us informed of his daily activities, sent cute pics and great videos of him. We were highly impressed and grateful for the love Ms. Pat and Ms. Arlene gave our little guy. He was so happy during his stay, and worn out from all the playing!! ♥️ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“I’m impressed with how well Lena was able to make Rosie feel right at home with her own pets. The pictures she sent each day showed that Rosie was having the time of her life. I highly recommend that you reach out to Lena if you need to have someone really care for your pet if you need to get away for a few days!!”
“Wynema was super easy to work with and very accommodating with our evolving schedule. She seems to have a had great time with Ariella and if we’re ever in the area again we will definitely work with her!”
“I highly recommend Ashley for any and all dog boarding. She sent me photos and updates multiple times per day or as requested. Very responsive and my pups seemed to have a great time. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Shawna has been keeping Bella for over a year now. She is great with Bella, and Bella loves going to visit Shawna. I get daily updates and I always pick up a happy, healthy dog. She even sets up her couch so that Bella can get up there and sit with them. On her last visit, Bella had a medical event. She began coughing and hacking up foamy spit up. Shawna immediately contacted me and we originally decided just to monitor her. But when it continued everytime Bella drank water, Shawna made the decision to take her to the emergency vet. She kept me informed of everything they were doing and how Bella was being treated. She did exactly what I would have done and I'm thankful for having a sitter that I can completely trust to look after Bella. I highly recommend Shawna!!”
“Reyna is a phenomenal dog boarder/doggy daycare provider!!! She took such great care of our Beau. We would recommend Reyna to anyone! She has a wonderful set up for the pups with lots of land to run and play! Thank you Reyna!!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies, but Lauren kept us updated and sent pictures everyday throughout the day. She made this first time experience great! I will most definitely use her services again!!”
“We are repeat customers of Lacole because ages simply the BEST around!! She treats our doggy like her own and gives many updates. Her dog Elsa loves to play and helps get my dogs energy out. Win/win. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. Thank you so much Lacole!”
“Maggie was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior Doberman. Our dog enjoyed her walks and personal care in a nice quiet environment. We have already booked our next vacation and our dog will be enjoying her own “vacation “ with Maggie, again!”
“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate. So far she gets along well with others) My current weekly routine is as follows: Monday: Feed Cats and Dog x2, feed and mist geckos Tuesday: Feed cats and dog x2 Wednesday: Feed cats and dogs x2, feed and mist geckos, feed skink, feed hognose Thursday: Feed cats and dog x2 Friday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed and most geckos Saturday: Feed cats and dog x2, feed skink Sunday: Feed cats and dog x2 Feed and mist geckos Saturday I go out about every hour and a half for potty breaks. I do not have a fence but I have a large pasture as well as lots of leads. I’m willing to walk for hours with your pet on a leash! I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!
“Erin was amazing!! She sent me updated photos of Bentley everyday! Great communication, Bentley instantly loved her the moment I dropped him off. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend Erin, she will take care and love on your dog like they are her own! Thank you, Erin!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellijay on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ellijay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Ellijay sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ellijay landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ellijay 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 Ellijay.
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 Ellijay 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.
