“Jennifer and her family were so sweet to my dog and treated him like a part of their family! He loved his stay with them and will definitely be back in the future.”
“Heather and her family did an amazing job watching all 3 of our pups for a whole week. The daily updates and pics gave us such peace of mind. We have used a boarding facility on the past for one of our dogs and she came home shaking for a week. We vowed never again to go the typical boarding route. So glad we found Heather!”
“Kara was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad we found Kara. Our dog had such a fun time with her dogs and family. She sent us photos of Saint during his stay. She was so responsive from the beginning all the way through. You can tell she loved on our Saint like she loves on her own family.”
“Mary Grace was a godsend to our family. Our beloved and notoriously mischievous 11 year old /70lb shepherd mix is prone to stress and can’t be comfortably boarded in a facility. He is also getting older, so he struggles with separation anxiety and requires frequent walks and intellectual stimulation. Mary Grace was a perfect fit. She is extremely competent and conscientious. She met both Ranger’s needs as a full time companion (walks, feeding, engaging) and my needs as a concerned parent (pictures, updates, etc). It’s the first time we’ve traveled in years that I was not constantly worried about Ranger. I would not hesitate to book with her again or to recommend her to others. She is amazing and I’m so grateful for how well she cared for our boy.”
“Megan and her family take such good care of Mia. She is excited when dropped off and ready for fun. I have a very worn out and happy pup who I know enjoyed her stay. Thank you for taking care of Mia!”
“Great visit. Pups were happy and in great spirits when we picked them up. Tyila was quick with communication and easy to work with. Her home is perfectly dog friendly and we loved seeing picture updates!”
“Lauren is the best. Jewel has never stayed with anyone but when she gets around Lauren, it’s like her second home. She gets excited when we turn into her neighborhood and I don’t have to worry about anything when I drop her off! Book HER! She will treat your pet like her own.”
“Lexie did such a great job with my fur baby Salem. I was gone for a week. I so worried to leave my pup for so long. Lexie and her husband were so sweet, and welcoming. We were able to me her fur babies they were so kind and got along perfectly with my girl. Lexie sent updates almost daily. Overall I am so happy with Lexie and how she took care of our baby. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
About: Both my husband and I have grown up with dogs our entire lives. In my case, I was raised in a home with 6 dogs at once, so caring for multiple pets is second nature. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. Our responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, daily walks, and of course, lots of playtime and affection. We’re comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pups, and everything in between. We currently have two dogs of our own and treat every dog we care for as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’ll be home with the pups the majority of the time. This allows for plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and play throughout the day. My daily routine is flexible, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s needs and schedule. My husband also helps out in the evenings after work, so your pup will get even more love and care during that time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, we have a designated dog room with air conditioning to keep pups cool and comfortable. If needed, we also have an extra room to separate dogs for rest, feeding, or personal space. We’re crate-friendly and can crate your dog upon request or according to their routine. Our home is both dog and toddler safe, with no access to hazardous items or unsafe areas. We treat every dog like part of the family, using gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. We require a meet and greet before bookings to make sure all pups get along and feel comfortable. We want the experience to be a great fit for everyone. We’re also committed to keeping you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Is there a way to give 10 stars? This was my first ROVER experience and it was simply amazing. Marianne's home was welcoming and warm for my precious golden doodle, Remi. There were lots of pictures of the fun my pup was having without me. She was very happy and loved. Marianne and Her pup, Ginger provided lots of cuddles and comfort to Remi. I can't say enough about how happy and satisfied I was with Remi's stay. Most excellent. 10 out of 10!!!!”
“I have a lot of words for my experience with Alex, but one sums it up: "amazing! ". Alex has a way with pets and she won my anxiety-prone, older little dog over very quickly with her sweet and kind nature. I had no concerns while I was away traveling on a slightly extended trip with limited internet access. She reassured me with lots of pictures and feedback. (The pictures were so good, my husband and I will have to frame a few of them :). I would highly recommend Alex for your pet sitting needs and I would jump at the opportunity to book with her again. Thanks, Alex!”
“Shuga was very excited at the meet and greet. Glad we did that first to make us both more comfortable before the Vacay. Nancy's home is very pet friendly and u can tell she likes her guests. Good to see the pictures while I was gone. Shuga must have really enjoyed her pawsome new friends because she has rested a lot since she got home. I would recommend Nancy and I will use her again.”
“Brittany did an amazing job with my little one. I received photos and updates everyday. You can tell from the photos and upon getting her back that she adjusted well and had a good time. I would highly recommend Brittany for your sitting needs. The best part of it all she is very responsive, worked well with me since I did reach out last minute, and is a sweetheart. It’s always a blessing to find someone that cares for your baby just as much as you do.”
“I absolutely recommend Tugba! It was so comforting knowing that Koda was well taken care of while we were away. He had such a wonderful time with both Tugba and Kora. I couldn’t be happier!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fortson
Nikki & Ben were amazing to work with. They were my first experience boarding my baby through Rover, as I’ve always lucked out having friends available. They recognized the anxiety this can create and were committed to make sure I knew she was comfortable. I got photo updates daily and continually told how well she fit in and perfect she was. They were more than accommodating for pick up, including when I had to leave something over there and go back later to get it. They read her information booklet I sent with her and even did some of her training/tricks to keep her brain working. They were also honest of any negative things so that way I was aware in the future. They are going to be my new go-to on Rover without a doubt!

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 Fortson 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 Fortson 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 Fortson.
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 Fortson. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Fortson 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.
