“Stosh is extremely responsive, engaging and clearly loves dogs. When my flight was 4 hours delayed due to weather and I show up frazzled and apologetic, he was completely understanding and accommodating to the change. He sent us pictures and our dog came home tired from a great walk and not stressed-out needing time to decompress like she does from the usual kennel/dog boarder company. I couldn’t be more grateful. Please don’t use him because his schedule is already full and I had to rebook several weeks away. He’s that good… so please, stay away — so we can use him! 😊”
“Julie and Michael were great. They have a great property for keeping your pet and letting them roam around freely and safely. They took very good personal care of our big boy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. We will be using them again in the future.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience as Jillian, and her family made my pups feel like part of the family right away. Thank you again for taking such great care of them, and allowing me to travel without worry!”
“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Yami is wonderful and our dog Bailey loves her. My puppy was sad when she came back cause she missed them soo much! I will definitely use them again and will also recommend to my friends.”
“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”
“My husband and I were out of town for a few days and our little Maltipoo was with Lena and she took great care of him! We were able to relax knowing that he was in good hands. Lena is easy to communicate with and sent us pics everyday. Would def book again!”
“Dahlia was so good with our 12 year old corgi/ACD. She loved him like her own and took him on so many great sniff walks. We got updated multiple times per day and never once worried about him. We will book with her again!”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Chan took very good care of Sawyer and Dutch. They played a lot with his white golden, and I received many photos and videos of my dogs. I would definitely trust Chan again to take care of my dogs.”
“Michael and his wife did an amazing job taking care of my dog Luna, especially his wife, she welcomed us at her house with her kind personality since our meet and greet, she is very patience and trusted a dog lover. I definitely recommend them.”
“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of my lil guy. The week before I was leaving for vacation my baby started acting unwell and the vet couldn’t find anything wrong with him. Ryan took special care and ensured he was eating and safe while I was away. I am so grateful for his kindness and special attention he gave to my dog. Thank you Ryan!!!”
“Always takes amazing care of our energetic baby! Follows all instructions with care and provides detailed updates with pictures. Luca loves his time with this family and he’s very picky!”
“Lin and her family provided excellent care for our Sammie. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. The regular photo and text updates were very reassuring. I highly recommend Lin to anyone seeking a trustworthy pet sitter—I'm so glad I found her on Rover!”
“Reyna and her family took amazing care of our pup! He loves to run and they had plenty of space for that. Our return flight got delayed and Reyna was very accommodating to take him another night for us. Our pup came home tired and happy:)”
“Karri and her family are some of the sweetest, most caring people I’ve ever met. The love they showered on my baby and the consistent communication of her well being while my husband and I were away solidified us a forever clients and friends.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Misty! She watched our two dogs at her home, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely wonderful. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Misty’s home and property are perfect for dogs. Our two were clearly well-loved and well-cared for during their stay. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and treats the dogs in her care like her own. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Misty again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter. Thank you, Misty, for taking such good care of our pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Free Home 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 Free Home.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Free Home 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.
