“This was my first Rover experience and how amazing it was! Selau was able to help me board my 8 week old kitten last minute. She was great with communicating to book and along the way. I loved getting updates and pictures of my little girl too! It’s great to have someone who is kind and caring for our fur babies to help when we may have to step away! 10/10 and will certainly be back when I might need the help again! Best experience for me and my little kitten!🩷🫶🏻”
“Johnnica was a recommendation from another sitter and I’m so glad we booked with her! She was super friendly and great with Barley. Her property is lovely and set up really well for dog sitting. I got plenty of updates and everything ran really smoothly. I also appreciated how flexible Johnnica was about drop off and pick up times! We will absolutely book again!”
“Kristina took excellent care of Skyy along with beautiful pictures sent daily of my fur baby which was a total plus! I will definitely be calling her again for pup care, thank you Kristina 🐶!”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
“I am so beyond grateful for Marianne! Our pup has made a special bond with her sweet dog, Gingercookie, and when we had to go out of town while our guy wasn’t feeling well I knew he was in good hands. Marianne made him special treats for his tummy and kept us updated the whole time. We all love Marianne!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“Loved loved loved Lexie ! She was sure to keep me updated on my baby throughout my whole vacation. There was never a time where I had to worry if he was safe and in good hands because Lexie is sooo pure ! And she is a GREAT photographer Lol , Everyday I woke up with beautiful picture's of Chapo 10/10 highly recommended 🩷🤗”
“I want to sincerely thank Samantha and her family for their exceptional care of Myles. She was attentive, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. I could tell he had a great time with her family, and I’m so grateful for her dedication and genuine care. Highly recommend!”
“OMG! I cannot express how thankful I am Awy & Stephanie. They were able to watch Jrako on a very short notice, made it no hassle at all. They gave Jrako everything he needed with no hesitation at all. Updated me throughout the day, and you can tell Jrako had a good time because he went back to get a hug before leaving. Will definitely be bringing jrako back!”
“My pup stayed with Tyila and her family while I went on vacation. The drop off and pick up was smooth. Communication was wonderful. Polly has stayed here a number of times and I know she is well cared for and loved when she visits. Highly recommend this sitter. We will visit again soon.”
“Chandra and her family did fantastic with Boomer! She was very attentive to his needs and was communicative throughout his stay. We could tell he had a wonderful time when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Chandra again for future stays! Thank you!!”

“Heather took such great care of our Molly girl! She updated us daily with pictures, was responsive and even went above and beyond giving our girl a bath! 10/10! We will definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter for Molly!”
About: I have been watching dogs for most of my life. i’ve watched many breeds for weeks at a time for friends and enjoyed every second. I grew up raising dachshunds as a young kid and i enjoy having a companion to care for and play with! I am stationed in Fort Benning, GA and i work Monday-Friday from 8AM-4PM. i am gone most of the day but i have a consistent work schedule. On occasion, i will travel out of town, but i will make sure my availability shows the days i am not at home. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run and play. There aren’t any dogs around me to pester or threaten any dog that’s near my house. i am able to crate anytime i need as well. i live in a very quiet neighborhood (on a dead end road) so i rarely see cars drive by. i walk and run on my road everyday by myself and am more than willing to walk dogs with me as well.
“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.”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“5 stars just isn’t enough! impeccable communication w text & pics. took care of my fur baby as if he was her own-would absolutely book w sitter again!!! already booked my baby’s next visit!”
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”

Pet 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!

There are 276 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fortson. About 96% of Fortson sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
