“Responded very fast to a last minute stay and was able to accommodate. It was only our second time away from our Laila but this time we went out of the country. Needless to say our nerves went out the window quickly because during drop off Laila felt right at home. We will 1000% book again.”
“We love Cindy and teddy does too!! This is our second time using Cindy and couldn’t be happier. We’re so happy to find such a great family to love on our teddy. Teddy even came home smelling so good from his bath 💙💙”
“While I was on a trip, she looked after my baby. I was terrified to leave him with someone. I felt bad that he believed I had abandoned him. When I was able to speak with her, she kept me informed, which is helpful because it gives me a basic notion of whether he's affected, leaving him with someone else so we can plan how to handle it going forward. Also it helped me cope leaving him. He was happy when I picked him up.”
About: As a dog mom to two pups, ages 9 and 3, caring for dogs is something that is already part of my everyday routine! I watch my parents' dog daily and occasionally I care for my sister's dog overnight, so I'm very comfortable having extra furry family members around. As a stay-at-home mom who homeschools, I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention, and plenty of love. Our home sits on nearly an acre with a fenced in backyard in our neighborhood, giving pups plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else. I'll make sure to follow their usual routines, send photo updates, and do my best to make sure this is their home away from home while you're away! Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to incorporate pet care naturally into my day. I also homeschool my oldest and my youngest attends half day pre-k. This gives me plenty of opportunities for potty breaks/walking, playtime, attention, and relaxation. I enjoy keeping a comfortable, predictable routine while also adjusting to each dog's individual needs. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they are used to. I want every dog who stay with us to feel like part of the family, and to feel at home. I know every pup has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I will do my best to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll make sure to follow each owner's instructions for feeding, sleeping, and daily care. Our home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood where we can enjoy leisurely walks in addition to time playing and exploring in our fenced backyard. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand if that gives you extra peace of mind, but I also understand that last-minute plan happens! I enjoy sharing photos and updates throughout your pup's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including raising them from babies. All sizes of dogs from little Yorkies to large Great Pyrenees. My house is full of children who love animals! I’ve always had pets in my life and caring for them fits easily into my daily routine. As a full-time working mom, I’m up early every day and naturally build pet care into my schedule with morning walks, feeding times, and plenty of affection and play. I truly enjoy keeping animals on a consistent, loving routine and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, just like family. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home is clean and pet-friendly, with a fenced yard for play and fresh air. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and follow owner instructions carefully. I can crate dogs if needed, maintain feeding and walk routines, and make sure they always feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“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! ?”
About: I’ve adored animals my entire life. I have a lot of hands on experience with everything from cats and dogs to birds and exotics. I work from home full time, so I typically have full availability. I have 3 kitties and a small dachshund. My cats are friendly and will retreat to their own space when they want to be alone. My dachshund is friendly and likes cats and other small dogs. He is shy/fearful around large dogs, which is why I’m only taking small dogs. All my animals are up to date on vaccines and healthy. I’m excited to take on caring for other small dogs. I work from home so I'm pretty much always home and ready to take on a cuddly baby or two! Would love to meet yours. :) I have a fenced yard and a pet friendly environment. Indoor and outdoor fun available to adapt to each dog’s specific energy needs. I can administer oral meds if needed. I have experience with all kinds of animals and can adapt to the situation as needed.
“If I could leave more stars I would!! Ariana was amazing and took great care of my dog. When I was traveling internationally she was very understanding of the communication barriers and when I was injured extending my stay she didn't hesitate to extend her help with my dog. It was such a relief not to have to worry about the care of my pup, knowing she was in good hands, while I was stressing out and not providing a lot of details. Ariana was patient, understanding, and kind and of course my doggo looked like she had had the best time making friends. Count on Ariana and her fiance in a time of crisis!! They will put you at ease.”
“Kayleigh and her family took excellent care of my girl, Ellie. She communicated frequently, sent photos, and showed my Ellie so much love. Her sweet daughters were so loving and playful with Ellie. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner looking for the right person to trust to take care of my fur baby. From an owners point of view I know exactly how to provide excellent care while you’re away. Book me today! I’m available part time, available mostly at night. So I’m best for late night/ early morning check ins and boarding. I’m off all weekend so if you are taking a weekend away I’m your girl! I have a fenced yard and dog-proof home with one dog in my home. She’s very friendly and energetic, but she loves cuddle time and a good nap.

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.
97% of sitters in Hawkinsville 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 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.
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.
