“My Bo-Bo was well taken care of. I was assured he was in good hands. Sean is a great communicator and was flexible when my flight was delayed. He sent pictures and texts on how well Bo was doing. Definitely will use Sean again!”
“Nicole and team were exactly what we needed for our dog. The communication was great and the Daily photos were very much appreciated. We will be sure to contact her again the next time we are in need of pet sitting services.”
“Kimi is my first choice for someone to watch Kep. She has been fantastic for drop-in visits during a long work day, short overnights, as well as a longer stay while we went on vacation. Kep always comes home super happy. He is excited to go and "See Kimi". I know that she is an experienced dog/pet parent and I trust her judgment. She has systems in place to keep Kep safe and having fun. She also asks questions about what he is used to, and my preferences as a dog parent for his care. Always quick to communicate, and I love the updates on how he is doing. I would 100% recommend Kimi and will be asking her to watch Kep again!”
“Kyle and Dana were awesome! They took the time and went for a walk through the park with Milo and missy and I couldn’t be more happier seeing someone take the care that they did with our dogs that far!!! Kyle and Dana y’all are the best!!! 😎😎😎”
“This was the first time leaving my baby girl with anyone and I was extremely anxious! Katlyn was enthusiastic, extremely detailed and eased all of my fears. She provided me with numerous updates, photos and videos. If you are considering leaving your fur baby with anyone, Katlyn should be at the top of your list!”
“Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I get so anxious leaving my baby, but from the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease. She was such a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, every day, which made such a huge difference. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing Alphie was in such good hands. Stephanie has the sweetest personality and was an absolute joy to work with. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and Alphie had SO much fun with her. When I came to pick him up, he almost didn’t want to come home—which has NEVER happened before! 😂❤️ That alone tells me everything I need to know. I will absolutely be using Stephanie for all of my future dog-sitting needs. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. If I could give her a million stars, I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Awesome dog sitters! They would update me every day and send a lot of pictures. They asked a lot of questions to make sure my dogs got the best service and are just pleasant people in general.”
“I give Tracy more stars than 5. She goes above and beyond to be sure your pet is comfortable and spoiled. My girl ate for her every day which means a lot when they are away from you. Tracy sent photos and videos of my Suki. It brightened my day and made things easier for me. I highly recommend her to keep your pet. I will be using her from now on.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience boarding our three dogs with Michael! The accommodations were fantastic, and the care and attention he provided were absolutely exceptional. It's clear that Michael has a great deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to dog health and behavior, which gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. We felt completely comfortable leaving all three of our pups with him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding care. We will definitely be using Michael again!”
“Kristi did great with my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. He had some separation anxiety and she was very patient and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable.”
About: What sets me apart is my wide range of experience with different pets and care needs. Not only have I cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, but I also have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I offer tailored care, whether it’s energetic play for young dogs or gentle, attentive care for older pets. Beyond dogs, I also have personal experience with other animals. I have a cat named Winston, a pet gecko, and two pet rats, which has helped me develop a versatile and patient approach to all types of pets. Whether your furry friend needs specialized care or simply someone who truly understands and loves animals, I’m here to offer top-notch support. As a college student, I’ve learned to balance my studies with my passion for pet care. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to dedicate time throughout the day for pet-sitting duties, including walks, playtime, and feeding. I find that caring for animals is a great way to take a break from academic work, and it fits seamlessly into my daily routine. By planning ahead, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care even on busy days, and I ensure that each pet gets the attention and care they need. Whether it's early morning walks or afternoon check-ins, pet care is a natural part of my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure that each pet is comfortable in their own environment and stick closely to their routine to minimize any stress. I take time to understand their habits, needs, and any specific care instructions, whether that involves feeding schedules, administering medication, or exercise routines. To ensure safety, I make sure the home environment is pet-proofed—keeping harmful items out of reach, securing doors, and following any safety guidelines provided by the owner. I always provide updates to pet parents, so they know their pet is being well cared for, and I respect the home by maintaining cleanliness and leaving everything as I found it. Trust and communication are essential, and I’m always available to address any concerns or updates during the care period.
About: I've been caring for animals of all types my entire life and I know how much of an important part they play in your family. I've had lots of pet sitting jobs in the past and now I'm looking to turn my passion for animals into a side business. You can rest easy and be assured on your trip or vacation that "fido" will be safe and sound in a loving environment whether it be yours or mine. I have over 20+ years of experience with animals of all sorts ranging from newborn babies to geriatric animals. I know the importance of having your four legged family taken care of while you're away and so let me help you with all your pet care needs so you can enjoy your trip or vacation worry free!
About: My home is a dog-friendly, warm and inviting place where your special family member will be loved and cared for. I was a dog owner (lab rescues) for the last 12 years, but sadly my last guy recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a lot of love just waiting to be shared! I work from home so our time and availability is flexible! I love to take frequent walk and play breaks. And I am always up for some cuddle time! My yard is shady for dogs of all sizes. The neighborhood is pet friendly with lots of walking. I previously managed a pet sitting business within our Virginia neighborhood and can provide references.
About: Bringing happiness to all animals is something that is very important to me because of the love they constantly give us. With multiple years of experience, I am able to make sure your furry friends are well taken care of. Keeping your pets healthy and happy is the most important thing to me. I focus on providing all pets with someone who makes them feel safe and loved while their family is not with them. At the moment I am in between jobs after working for Clemson University for 4 years. I am currently searching for a part-time job I can pair with Rover to keep my schedule as open as possible. I’m very flexible with the care I provide. Every pet has their own routine and habits. I tend to follow any instructions given to take proper care of your pets. In my own home I have a roommate who love animals just as much as me so there will be plenty of pets! We have a dog park nearby I can utilize or a walking path if your pet is a little more introverted.

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.
96% of sitters in Hartwell 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 Hartwell 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 Hartwell.
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 Hartwell. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Hartwell 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.
