“Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared. She kept us updated while we were away and made the whole experience stress-free. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Kyrie was wonderful! He took our 2 large dogs (golden retriever and Irish setter) on short notice and they were so well cared for. Great communication and he took them on walks, played with them, and loved on them. He also sent pictures and videos. They came home tired and happy! Highly recommend!”

“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”

“Ms. Cindy was terrific!! Her communication before dropping her off, during our vacation and the picking up process was wonderful. This was our first time utilizing the Rover app, however Ms. Cindy put our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Her care of our beloved Chessie was top notch!! Very personable and helpful! We Highly recommend Ms. Cindy K.!”

“Our two pups loved spending time with Savanna and her family! It was so nice to be able to get away and not have to worry if they were ok, Savannah sent daily updates and pics which made our day!! Also we appreciated her quick response time! 1000/10 would recommend Savanna to anyone!!!”

“Valerie was absolutely amazing with Ruby! 🐾 I was very hesitant about having a dog sitter watch my dog at first, but she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free. She kept me updated the entire time with how Ruby was doing, which meant so much to me and really put my mind at ease. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. Ruby had a wonderful stay, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she received. We have loved having Ruby stay with Valerie and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter! 💕🐶”

“I always worry when I board Sebastien because you always hear horror stories. It's not a facility you can go in and inspect, so you rely on reviews and scrutinize profiles and hope for the best. I didn't worry about Sebastien at all after meeting Adria. She was personable and detail oriented and the exterior of her home was clean and well maintained. She sent pictures and updates and gave me notes on his food. She was also not overwhelmed by his high energy antics. He came home happy and clean! It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy, and I highly recommend!”

“I enjoyed getting a daily picture of my fur babies and to see them cuddled up made me feel like they were definitely comfortable and being treated good! I will definetly be using them again and recommend them to any fur parents!”

“Jala was amazing! She took such great care of Brooklyn and kept me updated the entire time with photos and consistent communication. I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Alexander was a lifesaver when I had to go out of town short notice. He was quick to respond, and didn’t hesitate to watch her. He greeted her with a treat and followed my rules that I have instilled at my house with Honey. I would most definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, again!”

About: Dogs are active and social animals that need more of a routine than just use the bathroom,lay down,& eat. They need a being of infinite energy to match their drive, but also a responsible leader that allows fun to be had safely. I’m that being. All the hype in the world to rival your crazy dogs energy, but relaxed enough to simmer down for the more down to earth dogs. Big or small, trained or untrained, chaotic or calm, I’m the man for any and every dog. I currently have all the time in the world for your animals! Last minute request or 1 week in advance, I’m there for your furry friends! I keep my eyes on the dogs 100% of the time, especially if they are untrained. Dogs can AND will get into things behind your back and what they can do under no supervision is dangerous for the dog and others. I believe in preventing things before it even happens. Crate training, food training, mental exercises,etc is what I do to have my dog see me as leader that follow my guide. I’m a clean and organized person as well, so tif they think about escaping my all seeing eyes, they have nothing to get into! Once disciplined, they can have some leeway, but still have my undivided attention!
About: I have had animals all of my life and love caring for and playing with them. I will always treat your animals like my own. I am a stay at home mom of three, so I have open availability. My two older kidd are gone for school during the week. So its just me and my three year old. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who like meeting new dog friends. They would be let out multiple times a day and fed depending in your feeding schedule and played with constantly.

About: I've worked in animal care for several years, starting at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I spent six years. I began as a kennel technician and worked my way up to general manager, gaining extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and medical needs. I'm currently pursuing a long-term goal of becoming a veterinary technician. In my free time, I foster animals for a local rescue that I'm passionate about. I take pride in using fear-free handling techniques, understanding animal body language, working through behavioral challenges, and providing compassionate care for medically compromised pets. While I'm relatively new to Rover, I've been caring for pets in my home for years. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital. I have at least two days off each week and work a half day on Wednesdays. While I am away during part of the day, I come home every day during my hour lunch break to let your baby out for a potty break, playtime, and some extra love and attention. In the evenings, I enjoy taking dogs for walks (weather permitting) and spending quality time with them. When I have pets in my care, I plan my schedule around their needs. I avoid making additional plans so I can provide plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, cuddles, and consistency with their normal routine. I do provide care in your home, with the same schedule/availability. Such as; going to your home on my break to care for the pet(s), only sitting for one family at a time, walks, etc. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and at home as possible while you're away. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a pool that is currently being fenced for added safety. My philosophy is simple: pets are never left unattended outside. If your pet is crate-trained or simply feels more comfortable in a crate, I have plenty of space to set one up for daytime or overnight use. I only care for one client's pet(s) at a time to provide the safest environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I have a designated "dog cabinet" stocked with essentials like pill pockets, peanut butter, and ability to keep any medications your pet may need during their stay. If your pet rides in my vehicle, I use a pet seat belt to help keep them secure during travel. I ask that owners provide a properly fitted harness or collar and leash. If you're unable to do so, I have extras available (with your permission) to safely transfer your pet to and from my home and for walks. I do my best to maintain your pet's normal feeding schedule, so I appreciate detailed instructions regarding meals, treats, and any special preferences. I also always ask about food sensitivities, allergies, or other dietary needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. These apply to in your home as well.
“Ariana and her partner were amazing and they took our last-minute request! They sent many picture updates of our pup and were extremely nice and accommodating. I trust them and I am happy to have found them to be our sitters!”

“Milena is the best!! She cared for my fur baby almost the entire week. I was overloaded with pictures and videos which put me at ease while I was away. She cared for Benji as if he were her own. Thank you again for caring and loving my Benji while I was away! ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hawkinsville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 64 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hawkinsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hawkinsville 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 Hawkinsville.
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.
You and your Hawkinsville 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.
