DeAnne was amazing! I was leaving my Tibetan Terrior with a stranger for the first time, who suffers from some mild separation anxiety and had been crate abused - so he's a little special. But after meeting DeAnne and cooper, she was not a stranger. She was dog person who got it! Reggie had a wonderful time staying with her. She sent me multiple daily updates and pictures that made me feel so happy and comforted knowing my dog was being well cared for. We will ALWAYS hire her to watch our dogs, she was amazing and my pup had the best time!!!! Thank you again!!! ?

JR and his family are absolutely the best for my dog sitting needs. This is the second time my dog Findley has stayed with JR and both times I arrive back home to a calm happy dog. My dog is quite spoiled and JR is happy following my dogs feeding and treat routine. JR takes him for walks and plays ball with him in the nice fenced in yard. Receiving pictures while I’m on vacation is a wonderful plus that eases my mind while I am missing my dog. JR treats dogs like family and is very responsive when messaging. I highly recommend JR and so thankful to have him take good care of Findley!

I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!

I couldn't be happier with René! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that our dog wasn't just being boarded; he was truly welcomed into her family. She treated him like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be using her again!

Chayna has kept my pup several times now. I am very happy with her and have no worries when Freyja is in her care! Chayna’s love for animals is obvious upon speaking with her. She has been very responsive and sends pictures as well. Chayna also has a nice fenced in area for Freyja to play. If I need to leave my dog in someone else’s care, Chayna is my first choice!

Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!

Adriana was a great choice for my dog Jake. First time ever using rovers overnight boarding service, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had my dog stay with her for 7 full days and each day she reached out letting me know how my dog was. Even with the separation anxiety and the constant need for care my dog sometimes needs, it was no match for Adriana. Her professionalism, attention to detail, curtesy as a sitter makes her stand out above the rest. Young professionals like herself are a dime a dozen these days. I recommend anyone to give her a try!

Shilpi was a fantastic sitter! My dog tends to have anxiety so we always worry about leaving him in a new place, but Shilpi treated Oliver like one of her own. She ensured that he was eating and sleeping properly, and overall exceeded all of his needs. Shilpi also kept us updated throughout the entire sitting, sending us so many cute pictures as well as updating us about his behavior. He came back home seeming very calm and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again, thank you for the exceptional service!

About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.

About: I am a full time professional in the law enforcement field that offers house sitting and pet sitting to the citizens of Hall County. Trust that your sweet babies (pets) are in caring and trustworthy hands while you are out and about enjoying your vacation, work trip, etc. I have been pet sitting on an “as needed” basis for approximately 3 years now. References available upon request. Any special requests? Feel free to ask and I will tell you if that is something I can/am willing to do. Rapid response time, generally within a few hours but occasionally within 24 hours depending on my work schedule. If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a message and ask. Thank you for reading this far, have a good day ☺️ I am currently working full-time with Tuesdays as 12 hour work days (8A-8p). Outside of that I do 3-5 workouts a week. I ensure that when I am scheduled to love your animals any other time is spent with them. I have pet sit in 2-3 regular’s homes for the past 8 years and aside from that have done drop-in visits daily for others at their home. Specialty diets, hiding the medications in pill pockets, taking walks, etc - I have done it.

FAQs for Boarding - Gainesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Gainesville on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 883 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.
