“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! 😊”
“Rene was fantastic with our 2 pups! Got daily updates and the pups looked like they had a great time and felt like family 😊 highly recommended and will book with Rene 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.”
“Sky had a wonderful time with Christal and her dog, Bruno! Christal kept me updated with pictures and messages, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Chan did a great job caring for our 4 month old puppy. The puppy absolutely loved Chan’s dog and they had a lot of fun playing in his fenced-in back yard. Made us feel good that he was having such a good time while we were away. We really appreciated that Chan was willing to take on caring for such a young puppy. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs looked happy and relaxed in every picture, and it was clear they were well cared for and having a great time. I truly appreciate her professionalism and the genuine care she showed for my pets. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“My pup had an excellent day with Don and her family! She especially loved the fenced in backyard and the soccer ball 😊 they took great care of her and kept me up-to-date on her stay. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Katie and her family were absolutely wonderful with Jasper. From the very beginning, we could tell that Jasper fit right in and felt completely comfortable with them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Katie was incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful about keeping us updated regularly with photos and messages. It was very clear that Jasper was getting lots of attention, affection, and care, and that he genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and her family. We really appreciated how warm and welcoming they were with him. We would be more than happy to have Katie and her family watch Jasper again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy Rover sitter!”
“We are so delighted and thankful to have found Pat. She's exactly what our sweet Bella needs (and us too). Her love for dogs is obvious and that is so comforting. She kept me posted and sent pictures during Bella's stay which was reassuring. We've booked her again and plan to use her in the future ❤️”
“Archana took care of peanut very well. Peanut is usually very anxious with new people, but I was pleasantly to see that peanut felt like home with Archana. Thanks a lot Archana for taking care of Peanut”
“Deja was very professional, accommodating, and took great care of our dogs. She texted us photos so we could see that our dogs were having a good time while we were gone. We would definitely leave them with her again!”
“I could not have asked for more! What a great dog loving family! Stacy took complete care of Rex. I am so grateful she was available on relatively short notice. Five stars!”
“My 2 goldendoodles came home energized and happy. Bryce took great care of them. They had plenty of walks and dog park time. They got to play with other dogs and I was very relaxed knowing they were in good hands. I've even hired him as our daily walker since I go into an office everyday and he has been doing a great job with that too. I recommend using his services.”
“Ashli is sooo fantastic!! Bella had a great time and just fit right in. It made going away much easier for me. It's rare that Bella is comfortable with new people and places, but she loved staying with Ashli and her family. Thanks guys!! <3”
“Karen was outstanding! Our 8 year old black lab mix had never been away from home. Karen, her husband and their dog Maggie made Emmy feel right at home from day one. Our shy dog responded so well to their love and care. And, Karen sent photos and videos with reports about Emmy every day! I now call Karen my personal “dog whisperer”! We no longer worry about missing out on travel opportunities because we have to stay home with our dog.”
“Jennifer was great! She took excellent care of my pup, communicated extremely well, sent several pictures during his stay, and was very accommodating when I had some unexpected changes in my return travel plans. She’s got plenty of 5 star reviews for a reason! Can’t thank her enough and will definitely look to her next time I need dog boarding.”

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, 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.
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.
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 , 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 .
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.
