“Roman and Justine provided exceptional care for our dog Bauer over the weekend, treating him like family and keeping us updated with photos throughout his stay. They clearly understood his needs and personality, and Bauer came home happy and tired from all the attention and activities. We felt completely at ease the entire time and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”

“We are now satisfied repeat customers of Donna & John. Our dogs, Burt & Dolly had no hesitation returning to their 'home away from home' for their 2nd stay. Donna continued her excellent & timely communication before, during (complete with pictures) and after this stay. There were no problems and we had no concerns at all. We have already made another reservation and plan to continue to have Donna take care of Burt & Dolly as needed in the future.”

About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Angela was fabulous, and someone I’m genuinely glad my family met! She took great care of S’mores & sent pictures and videos. When we picked up our dog, my daughter said that you could tell our S’mores was ready to see us but also sad to leave. Angela was kind to my children too. She went above and beyond. We would definitely ask her to keep S’mores again in the future.”

“I cannot say enough about Debbie (and her husband Chris)! As a pet mom, I really need to have confidence in my sitters so I can get work done, or just to be able to relax. I have not found anyone better than Debbie to watch over my Tommy. She sends photos and lets me know how he's doing while I'm gone. He even fell in love with Gabby, one of Debbie's own dogs! So you know that he loves to go away to camp now! Leaving Tommy with Debbie has been a true godsend because I know he will be safe and loved while his mom is gone. Many thanks to Rover for having someone like Debbie as part of their team!”

About: Your pet’s comfort is my priority, I have over 20 years experience owning and caring for pets. I bring a reliable, structured approach to pet care. I have hands‑on experience with training and reinforcing good habits through consistency and positive engagement. I am able to recognize signs of stress. So to the greatest extent possible, I will follow established feeding, walking, and bedtime routines to keep pets grounded while you’re away. I’m confident with younger pets who like to test boundaries giving them the opportunity to make good choices. I'm patient and attentive with senior pets, including those who need slower pacing or extra reassurance, and I’m able to administer medications safely per directions. I treat every animal like they're my family, giving them the same structure and affection they’re used to at home. I work full time from home which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. Although I work from home and my schedule is relatively flexible, I maintain standard office hours and have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunchtime drop-offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate your need. if you have questions or a unique situation, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us. Welcome to our home—where pets are family and comfort comes first. My spouse and I recently moved to the Anderson county area and are still in the process of getting settled. I have always had pets in my life. I love their companionship, affection, loyalty, good nature, and adventurous spirit. I provide a loving home where your pets are treated like family. I live in a single‑family home with a fenced yard. I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule for attentive and consistent care. Our household is slower‑paced, making it an ideal environment for senior dogs and small to medium companions who enjoy a calm, cozy routine. Consistent structure and routine are critical for our pets to relax and enjoy themselves. I understand this and am committed to maintaining routines that you have established for your companion. We love to field trip and go hike state parks and gentle trails on the weekends. Everyone's time is limited on this spinning space-rock so we think it's important to give them all the love we can while we're here and to allow them to make their own memories; to enjoy new experiences and new environments. I share my home with my wife (who arguably loves pets more than I do ;), a friendly and sociable 4-year-old female beagle/lab mix 30lbs and one senior female domestic short hair cat. So it’s important that your pet is comfortable with and gets along with other animals. However, if your animal requires some level of isolation due to medical reasons, I have the space to accommodate. For everyone's safety and comfort there are a few things that need to be in place. I only take one client at a time. With that, I insist we have an initial meet and greet. So that the first time your loved one meets me is not in a strange or stressful environment. This makes sure we all (pets included) have a chance to meet and make sure we mesh. Unfortunately, I cannot accept unneutered males or females in heat. all pets must be current on vaccines and be on flea prevention—experience has taught me that prevention is far easier than eradication. Although my schedule is flexible, I maintain standard office hours so have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunch time drop offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate changes. if you have questions, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us.

Angel went above and beyond for Sheba! Our dog was cared for and pampered from the moment we dropped her off. We loved receiving photos of her adventures and would definitely use Angel as a boarder again.

Angel is such a sweetheart. She took care of Titus as if he was her own. I received daily updates and pictures. She was on top of walks, treats, cuddle time, you name it! Titus enjoyed his stay. He will definitely be seeing her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hartwell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hartwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

94% 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
