About: From training four puppies from birth to senior citizenship, I've always loved dogs and they seem drawn to me. I want you to enjoy your vacation while your fur baby is being loved and having fun in their home away from home. Experienced with specialty diets, medication dispensing and senior dog care. SAHM with three dog-loving children who are at school on weekdays. School routine starts around 6:30-7 a.m. and kids are gone by 8:30. I will take your fur baby outside for supervised morning, mid day, afternoon, late afternoon and evenings multiple times for exercise, walks, play time and potty breaks. I have a full privacy fence on a 3/4 acre lot, plenty of yard to run and play and take walks. If requested, I can come to your home multiple times a day for services needed such as potty breaks, walks, play-time, etc.

About: As a dog mom to two pups, ages 9 and 3, caring for dogs is something that is already part of my everyday routine! I watch my parents' dog daily and occasionally I care for my sister's dog overnight, so I'm very comfortable having extra furry family members around. As a stay-at-home mom who homeschools, I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention, and plenty of love. Our home sits on nearly an acre with a fenced in backyard in our neighborhood, giving pups plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. I'll make sure to follow their usual routines, send photo updates, and do my best to make sure this is their home away from home while you're away! Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I also homeschool my oldest and my youngest attends half day pre-k. This gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks/walking, playtime, attention, and relaxation. I enjoy keeping a comfortable, predictable routine while also adjusting to each dog's individual needs. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they are used to. I want every dog who stay with us to feel like part of the family, and to feel at home. I know every pup has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I will do my best to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure to follow each owner's instructions for feeding, sleeping, and daily care. Our home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood where we can enjoy leisurely walks in addition to time playing and exploring in our fenced backyard. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand if that gives you extra peace of mind, but I also understand that last-minute plan happens! I enjoy sharing photos and updates throughout your pup's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

I highly recommend Julia as your pet sitter. She's always quick to respond even on short notices. Thank you so much Julia for caring for my pet!”
About: I have raised dogs and puppies my entire life. I have personally owned seven dogs at once. Dogs are great friends and I fine joy in their happiness. I work part time about 6 hours every other day about 5pm to 11pm so I will have plenty of time to share with dogs. I have one dog of my own to care for. No kids or grandkids so more dogs will be welcome I have 6 eight foot kennels with sunscreen top 3 indoors and 3 out doors. Large yard for walking leashed dogs. Plenty room for indoors play time.
“If I could leave more stars I would!! Ariana was amazing and took great care of my dog. When I was traveling internationally she was very understanding of the communication barriers and when I was injured extending my stay she didn't hesitate to extend her help with my dog. It was such a relief not to have to worry about the care of my pup, knowing she was in good hands, while I was stressing out and not providing a lot of details. Ariana was patient, understanding, and kind and of course my doggo looked like she had had the best time making friends. Count on Ariana and her fiance in a time of crisis!! They will put you at ease.”
About: I have owned cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters & fish. I love spending time with animals. My days are pretty laid back so I will have plenty of time and energy to care for your loved ones. I am a weekend supervisor and I only work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6pm-8am. So I am available Monday-Thursday or before I work on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a spare room if needed. I am willing to accommodate your loved ones in any way necessary! I do have twin boys but they are really gentle with the pets as they have already grown up with them!

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.
96% of sitters in Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire.
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 Empire. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Empire 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.
