“Chayna did amazing with Thor. I was a little worried because he hadn't been around other dogs in a positive way in a long time but she helped alleviate my fears and he did great with the other dogs once he relaxed. Will be using again for future trips out of town 🙂”

“Erica was wonderful in caring for my Archie - as was her family of several children! There were several dogs in Erica’s care and that was a bonus for Archie! He came home happy and exhausted. Erica has a big heart and it is evident she enjoys the dogs in her care. Her home Is very dog friendly and her large fenced in backyard is a playground for dogs! When in the area I will certainly reach out to Erica again. Highly recommend!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Sushma take care of my two dogs, Bubba and Yogii, and I can't express how thrilled I am with her service! From the moment we met, I could tell that Sushma has a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, understanding their unique personalities and needs. Throughout the duration of her pet-sitting, Sushma was incredibly attentive and responsible. She followed my instructions to the letter, ensuring that Bubba and Yogii were fed on schedule, took their daily walks, and received plenty of playtime. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my pups were in excellent hands. Sushma’s warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for my dogs to bond with her. They seemed so happy and content when I returned home, and I could tell they had been well cared for. It’s clear that Sushma is passionate about her work and goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing environment for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Sushma as a pet sitter! Her professionalism, kindness, and love for animals have truly made her a standout caregiver for Bubba and Yogii. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs! Thank you, Sushma, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family members!”

Kerri stayed in touch throughout our trip and was extremely professional. I could tell that they really loved Loki and were sad to see her go. It's very comforting to know that Loki has made some new friends and she doesn't need to be stressed out anymore when we are out of town.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs around the house, so caring for them feels second nature, not a job. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a daytime hang, a walk around the block, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like part of the family while you’re away. I’m attentive to each animal’s routine and personality: feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite toys, or just knowing when a dog wants to play and when a cat wants to be left alone. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits - happy to work around whatever your pet needs. Mornings start with a check-in cuddle and a feeding if it’s their usual time, followed by a walk or some yard time to burn off morning energy. Throughout the day, your pet gets plenty of attention: playtime, belly rubs, and naps on the couch if that’s their style. My son is part of the routine too. He adores dogs and loves helping with walks and playtime, so your pet gets even more love and energy throughout the day. Evenings wind down with a calm walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, with updates and photos sent your way so you can see how their day went. Every pet’s routine looks a little different, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule keeps them happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s safety always comes first, whether in my home or theirs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, never leaving them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations, and I make sure my home is pet-proofed with no hazardous items within reach, and a calm, comfortable space for them to settle in. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and rules, keep the house secure, and make sure doors and gates stay closed so pets can’t slip out. For dogs especially, walks are on a secure leash, and I’m attentive to other animals, traffic, and anything that could startle them. My son knows the same safety rules and never handles a pet without me nearby, so there’s always responsible supervision. I also keep emergency contacts and vet information on hand in case anything unexpected comes up.

“Wonderful first boarding experience! Our pup made friends with the other dog guests staying with Nataly and family and could tell he was well cared for. We got daily updates and pictures, which our kids loved to see. She was super helpful when our return plans changed and utilized the drop off service. Now my extended family wants to send their dogs there too when boarding!”

This was our second time having Helenia watch Nova, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! She kept us updated with pictures and we even FaceTimed her, which gave us such peace of mind. Helenia and her husband made Nova feel completely welcomed and at home. Their home is beautiful, warm, and cozy, and it’s clear that Nova was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book with Helenia again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Gainesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Gainesville on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 895 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gainesville. About 93% of Gainesville 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. 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.

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.
