“Our pup had such an amazing time with Julie and her family! From the moment we arrived, Chiko felt right at home and quickly became part of the family. He loved playing with their two doodles, Chase and Rusty, and even got to meet their goats, pigs, chickens, and play with their kiddos. Their fully fenced yard (many acres) was perfect for safe playtime and gave us extra peace of mind. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him, especially since Chiko is deaf and uses a special collar. She took the time to learn how to communicate with him, which gave us such reassurance. We loved the adorable photo updates throughout his stay, and when we picked him up, he was one happy (and tired!) pup who fell right asleep as soon as we got home. We are so grateful to Julie and her family for the wonderful care they gave our pup, and we can’t wait for him to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Our 2 pups loved Lena and her beautiful home! They have secretly been barking to us that they want to go back and play some more with Lena and her cute little dogs. She is honest and caring and efficient! She will love your dogs the whole time you’re away and is terrific about sending daily photos! Highly recommend! A+++++ ??”
“We were on vacation with our dogs and needed an overnight sitter. Erin was great. She made us feel like we were leaving them in a very safe place where they would get the attention that they needed and deserved. It was fun to get pictures from Erin to show that the girls were comfortable and safe.I would recommend Erin 1000%.”
“Ashley is awesome! My dog was so happy with her furry friends and her. She was very responsive. I had complete peace of mind while on the road. I would recommend her and use her services for my Booboo!”
“Angie was very welcoming (to us and our puppy) and reassured us since this was our first time using Rover and leaving our 11 month old rescue. She sent pictures of him playing with the other dogs. He was tired and happy when we picked him up. It was obvious that he’d made himself at home. We’ve alread booked a longer stay with her.”
“Pat took great care of my Gracie. She sent regular photos & was patient with Gracie’s wild moods. She has a lovely home & a nice fenced backyard. Her dog was playful & a good companion for mine. Thank you Pat!”
“This sitter was great. Perfect property for my dog as he is not used to being confined indoors all day aside from a few walks. He lives to run and chase squirrels! Dawn has a perfect friend for him there as well 'Dexter' which got along great with my boy. Great communicator, punctual, and even gave me doggie art with his paw print on canvass for me! Highly recommended! PJP”
“Monika took excellent care of our fur baby and was very communicative the entire time. She made us feel comfortable and jackson came home tired and happy. Will definitely be booking again!!”
“I ended up reaching out to Maggie for a day of boarding. We were traveling in her area, and I asked if she’d take care of my pup for a few hours while we went out for my birthday dinner. Sadly, we had a last minute emergency and didn’t end up using her services. That being said, she was very kind, communicative, and flexible. I appreciated the interaction immensely, and I would reach out again in a heartbeat if we lived in the area!”
“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”
“Lori took wonderful care of Foxy Lady, our 13 year old Corgi Terrier! Kept us up to date on how she was doing and even sent us pictures on most days! We will definitely be using Lori again. Foxy bonded with her young son. Appreciated that Lori took Foxy outside and took her on walks (which she loves!)”
“I felt Yuwadee was wonderful with my dog. She sent picture updates and is a kind, loving, dog owner herself. She met with me before watching my dog which made me feel confident in my choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her.”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“My dogs were all smiles while hanging out with Tiffany and her sweet family! They were clearly well taken care of and loved on throughout their stay - and were probably sad to leave their new friends! Everything was great from the meet and greet through the stay. Tiffany is a great communicator and very friendly. We hope to book again on our next trip! 👍👍”
“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.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellijay on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 168 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.
