“We dropped our dogs off for boarding while my partner and I raced in IM Chattanooga and are so thankful that Jaxen was able to watch them! They got to play a bunch and tired themselves out — and got a bath before being picked up. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while we raced.”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Brandi took such wonderful care of my girl Roxy! I loved that she gave me detailed updates on how Roxy was doing and pics showing me how she spent her day. I highly recommend Brandi!”
“Julia responded immediately to our needs and did a great job of taking care of our baby. I highly recommend her and we will be confident taking our girl back for boarding or day care.”
“Loved the personal updates and photos throughout my dog’s stay. She looked so happy in the photos and was glad she had some new friends to play with. Will definitely be my go-to residence! ❤️”
“Kept me informed about my little Boston daily. With pictures and videos, I didn't feel as isolated from him as I had anticipated I would be.I saw he was enjoying his walks and cuddling and visiting the outdoors. Boston was on medications and Terri kept me informed of his progress. Thanks!”
“Another great stay with Megan! I was updated several times a day on how my girls were doing. I got photos along with an update. Definitely recommend Megan and Chris.”
“Jamie was amazing while taking care of Luna! From the very beginning, she was incredibly welcoming and made Luna feel completely at home. She sent me daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jamie was also super responsive, answering all of my questions and keeping me informed the entire time. Luna looked so happy and comfortable—almost like she was on her own little vacation! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a caring and attentive caregiver for their pet.”
“Justin is an incredibly attentive and interactive participant in our dogs lives. He took the time to understand Iggy’s quirks and took it upon himself to work with her independently to become more confident and socialized with his dog and other dogs. I am so grateful for his contribution to her life and would trust him with any animal moving forward. He is also a welcome guest in my home and as a friend. Consider him your fur babies bestie and let him handle the rest. He will be sure to take them on walks, give them all them love, and care for them as if they were his own. He truly connects with them and as parents, that’s all we really hope to have out of a sitter. A 10/10 recommendation for Justin!”
About: I’m experienced caring for all kinds of dogs, from high-energy breeds like GSPs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to laid-back pups who are happiest lounging by your side. I’m also comfortable caring for medically complex dogs, including dogs with seizures, injuries, and daily medication needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute pet care needs. I have a fenced-in yard and easy access to trails right behind my house, so pups can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether they’re up for a long adventure in the woods or just a quick romp around the yard. I’m happy to work with each dog’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and individual quirks or needs. Whether caring for a pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
About: I have been a dog sitter for senior pets, as well as puppies. I'm familiar with training practices for puppies, and an adequate diet based on dog size needed to sustain their well-being. I love being active and can sustain the energy to keep your furry baby moving. I am available in the mornings and early afternoons to check in and care for pets. I can also board for occasional overnight stays, while you are out of town or away on vacation. In the client's home, I maintain boundaries of where the owner wants the pet to roam. I will clean up any messes or dirt the animal gets into, and will assure to care for your pet as I would my own.
“Joslynne was wonderful! Great communication and she maintains a clean, happy environment for visiting pups. My girl had a great time staying with her. Will definitely book with her again. Can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Kailin did a great job watching my dog while I was away for the weekend! She offers a variety of services like boarding and house visits, and I would highly recommend her to other pet owners!”
About: Animals are my life. I’ve had pets since I was a baby and they mean everything to me. I love all and will care for them in any way they need and especially love seeing all the different personalities. I currently have two cats, and dog and a rabbit of my own. My dog does have special needs, which comes along with some anxiety, but he’s really good with other animals. I typically work from home throughout the week but do leave for meetings and showings (real estate agent). That being said, It is a pretty flexible job, so I can work with you to make sure something works out. Every morning my pets are the first task. Taking the dog out, giving my dog his medicine, feeding and making sure all pets have food water. I like to make sure that my pets, and others, are fed and let out on the schedule. If the schedule is a little different than normal, I like to make sure their needs are taken care of at an appropriate time. I don’t want them being hungry, need water or ever have to hold going to the bathroom too long.
“Caroline kept me updated about Buster's. Stay sent me pictures and seemed to really enjoy him visiting her house and family. Buster seemed to take to one of her daughters and was almost reluctant to go home with me.”
“This is our second time booking with Vanessa and we will never use anyone else. Our pups are so well taken care of and it’s so obvious how much they love her! Can never say enough good things about Vanessa!! The babies already can’t wait for their next visit!!”
“Sonia and her family were absolutely fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she totally came through for us! I felt so comfortable having my pup stay with her and we got so many photos and updates! I would highly recommend using her services for your own pup!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fort Oglethorpe is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Oglethorpe
Angela was wonderful with our babies. She kept us well looped in while we were out of the country. Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way). The initial meeting went well, loved the fact her yard is fenced in. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for their kids.
Our girls Kaly and Vega had a blast at Whitley’s! They looked soo happy in all of the pictures and videos he sent. They loved his pups as well as all the friends they made during their stay. Whitley communicated frequently throughout their stay which we really appreciated. We can tell he loves dogs and doing whatever he can to bring them joy.

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.
93% of sitters in Fort Oglethorpe 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 Fort Oglethorpe home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fort Oglethorpe.

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.

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.
