“Stephanie was great, AMC Tashi really enjoyed playing with Stephanie's dog. She was walked and taken care of, and i never worried about Tashi while she was there. I'll use Stephanie again!”
“Jennifer and her Family are wonderful. Jennifer agreed to watch Canela in a short notice and she and her family gave her lots of attention. Jennifer kept me updated everyday and send me lots of pictures. I loved knowing how good of a time Canela was having and I felt happy she was in good hands. I am pretty sure that both, Canela and I would be happy if Jennifer and her family can watch her again in the future.”
“After a confirmed sitter bailed on us, we reached out to William very last minute. He was super responsive and thankfully everything worked out really well! Our dogs seemed very happy and well taken care of. I’m always very anxious about leaving my fur babies somewhere new, and this was actually my first Rover experience. William and his son were both super responsive and sent us pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, which was such a huge relief. We’re very thankful they were able to accommodate us on such short notice!”
“Heather was fantastic! She and her family did an amazing job caring for our Maltipoo, Remi, over the weekend, sending regular updates and photos. He looked so happy and seemed to have a great time. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for while we had to travel. I can’t say enough great things about Heather, and definitely plan to use her for future care for Remi. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome job as usual Crystal! Scooter's "Second Home" it seems and instead of being down and out like happens at the other boarding places, his behavior is better and he has more energy. Crystal does an awesome job caring and loving my fur baby.”
“Kept me informed daily about how my dog was doing. Loved getting the pics she sent. Was flexible when my flight was cancelled and had no issues with taking care of my dog an additional day.”
“This is our second time to use Donald. Our Maggie loves Donald and loves staying with him. He sent lots of pictures and was quick to respond to any questions I had. 😀🐕”
“Lauren was wonderful! She accepted a last minute booking and was very flexible! Lauren was communicative and I felt comfortable leaving mybfur baby in her hands. My dog came home well fed and exhausted. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Evan was great with our "kids"! We were staying at FDR for a family wedding and extremely bad weather was predicted. Concerned about leaving our "kids" in the camper while we attended the wedding festivities, we got on Rover for the first time and Evan came to our rescue! We felt our kids were safe and in good hands. Thank you, Evan!”
“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!!!”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“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.”
About: I have helped with animals my whole life. We’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, parakeets. I enjoy playing and taking care of them. My friends have paid me to watch their homes and pets while they were out of town. I am a full time student but I’m currently online so I’m on the computer for maybe 2 hours at a time but I can take breaks and give pets the attention that they need. I have two cats that love new friends and are very friendly. We have a big ack yard but no fence soo I could walk them on a leash and I live in a nice neighborhood where many people walk there dogs.
“Brooke and Andrew provided a reassuring stay for my Boston Terrier. We visit Great Wolf Lodge a couple of times a year, so it’s nice to know my BT has a fun time while we’re away. Thanks again, Brooke and Andrew!”
About: I have dedicated my whole life to the study of animal behavior and caring for them to the best of my ability. I have worked various jobs and owned various types of pets of my own, and strongly pride myself in my ability to go beyond the bare minimum for the animals in my care. My experience and Capabilities.. - I am certified in animal first Aid & CPR - Along with my first Aid training, I received extensive training in the handling of behaviorally complicated dogs & cats, and handling dogs and cats with medical challenges such as seniors, epilepsy, diabetes, etc. I am comfortable with offering medication to even more difficult pets. - experience rescuing and caring for dogs and cats of all ages. - versatile knowledge in different breeds, handling show dogs, grooming dogs, etc. - ample experience at professional boarding facilities, monitoring and caring for up to 180 dogs and many cats during the holiday season at the facility. - advanced knowledge in dog body language, training, and general care. - I have rescued animals, rehabilitated them, and helped with their adoptions. - I have handled AKC sport and show dogs, and worked alongside ethical dog breeders. - All-in-all, my goal is to be the kind of person you can trust to go above and beyond for your pets. I refuse to settle for the bare minimum, and I know it's hard to trust just anyone to care for your pets the way you do. I strive to be that reliable for each and every one of my clients. I have ample free time, and find myself at my best spending all of it keeping myself busy with the animals in my care. Otherwise, I do not stay busy. I have never enjoyed anything more. I have a fenced in yard, and never leave dogs unsupervised outside even for a moment. My house is large and spacious, meaning any other animals in my care can be separated and cared for adequately individually as needed. Pets are cared for adequately based on their individual needs. I do not settle for the bare minimum, your pet will be happy, comfortable and thriving in my care. I provide daily updates and pictures!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
We had a wonderful experience with Shay! She took great care of Kona and made sure he felt right at home during his stay. Shay kept us updated on how he was doing, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Kona was in great hands and well cared for. We really appreciate everything Shay did for him and would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time leaving my puppy, Riot, with someone through Rover, and I was very anxious. She made the entire experience so much easier by keeping me updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout Riot’s stay. Communication was excellent, and it was clear Riot was well cared for and loved while I was away. When I picked her up, she looked adorable and had obviously been given extra care and attention, which I truly appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsive! 🐾❤️

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Hamilton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hamilton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Hamilton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
