“I have so many nice things to say about Kelly and her husband. I think my Cornelia had the time of her life at their home. She was loved on and cared for in Ritz Carlton fashion. I’m so glad I booked with these folks and will absolutely book again with them.”
“OMG first and foremost Tammy & John is AMAZING I would recommend them 110 percent they kept me informed every day sent me pictures I could tell my dog loved and enjoyed her stay just from the pictures…..as long as they are available I will ALWAYS use Tammy and John to care for my furry baby….”
“This is my third time using Tracy to sit for Tucker. She is absolutely amazing. She takes such good care of him and it reassures me knowing he is in such good hands.”
“Emily is and has always been the best sitter for my fur baby. King loves and know when we turn on her street as he gets super excited. I can always leave him and have no worries at all. He’s worn out when I pick him up and I love it. Thank you Emily for all you do and I would recommend you without hesitation.”
“Linda took great care of Turbo while we were out of town. She sent pics, gave constant updates, and best of all, when we got him back home, he seemed completely normal — something that doesn't always happen when we put him in boarding facilities. We highly recommend Linda; she's great!”
“Denise was amazing and took great care of our dog. He’s never been boarded before or away from family so we were nervous he’d be stressed out. Denise sent pictures everyday of him having so much fun. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“Emily was communicative and accommodating! I left both of my pups with her for the first time and she kept a a close eye on them and gave them plenty of exercise. I will definitely be requesting Emily again!”
“Amazing! I recommend him enough. Extremely accommodating and excellent communication. My dog has a very anxious temperament and they handled him with ease. Will book again.”
“Cassie has taken care of our sweet girl multiple times and I know Bailey loves it there! She always has so much fun with her other dogs and kids and i know she is in good hands!”
“Mrs. Janet is just lovely! She took great care of my baby girl Rossie! I appreciate how she loved on her, and kept me up to date the entire time! I would recommend Mrs. Janet to anyone, and will just Def be booking with her again! Thank you again Mrs. Janet!”
“Chyanne was amazing with Piper! She sent the sweetest updates and photos, and Piper looked like she was having the best time. She absolutely loved playing with Chyanne’s dogs and settled in right away. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely book with Chyanne again — highly recommend! ❤️❤️”
“Arlene was truly one of the most attentive sitters Beau has ever had. She kept us updated with daily photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Beau was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Tenisha and Eric were the answer to my prayer. My little fur baby, Snowball, is somewhat spoiled and I'm very particular about his caregiver. My wife and I generally take several extended vacations each year and, In the past, we have had to cancel or end our vacation plans early because Snowball would not eat, sleep, or interact with other pets at the boarding facility. We'll, we did not have that issue with Tenisha or Eric. From our initial meet and greet to our recent 8 days cruise vacation. Snowball, has been happy and full of life. The pictures and videos they sent daily of Snowball running and playing with Tenisha, Eric, and their adorable pet poodle Sybil were very reassuring. I even jokenly told my wife that I think he may prefer them over us. Needless to say, I highly recommend Tenisha and Eric as your preferred csretaker if you love your fur baby and want the peace of mind of knowing your pet is being professionally cared for in every way during your absence.”
“Candace was absolutely impeccable! She went above and beyond and my puppy was treated like family right away. I received updates/ pictures throughout the day and reassurance that my puppy slept through the night. I will be using her continuously and recommending her to everyone I know. Absolute 10/10 service 💓”
“Audrey & Isiah are simply the best. Competent, patient, and reassuring during the entire process. We were quite anxious leaving our fur baby alone in an unfamiliar new environment but Audrey went above and beyond to make sure Lyla (and us) were as comfortable as possible, providing us pics and updates during her visit. You can tell she is a genuine animal lover with a huge heart. We’ve already booked future dates with them!”
“This was my first time looking for a sitter and I found out through Facebook. I’m so glad I did. Victoria answered my request in a timely manner and I’m so happy I found her. She kept me updated on Dior and her communication is great. Will most definitely book with her again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopeful
Vic was amazing! Super responsive and kind. We got sent plenty of pictures and videos and we were consulted with every decision regarding our baby that wasn't previously discussed. Our baby was happy, comfortable and well taken care of. It's already challenging to be away from your baby, but knowing they're well taken care of gives you a peace of mind ❤️ I will definitely be coming back to Vic when we go out of town again, we felt like family.
I recommend Stacy; she was an excellent sitter for my dog, Denver. Stacey was very attentive and cared about Denver's well-being. She communicated with me every day about what they were doing. Morning and evening walks, playtime outside. Fletch was Denver's favorite. I just love the communication. ❤️
I couldn’t be happier with Brianna and the care she provides for my girl, Rylee! Rylee is definitely a princess and is very loved and spoiled, so I have high expectations when it comes to who I trust to care for her. Brianna has absolutely met those expectations. She does an amazing job keeping me updated while Rylee is with her, regularly sending pictures and letting me know how she’s doing. I really appreciate that communication because it gives me peace of mind knowing Rylee is happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. Brianna goes beyond simply watching her. She spends time playing with Rylee, gives her plenty of attention and affection, brushes her, and makes sure she feels right at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. One of the biggest signs for me is how Rylee acts about going to see her. She gets super excited, and she comes home happy and well cared for. That tells me everything I need to know. Finding someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with Rylee is extremely important to me, and Brianna has been wonderful. She is attentive, dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Rylee has definitely found herself a great sitter!
Rebecca was a great sitter for my dog Barney and will definitely use her again. I had a last minute weekend request and Rebecca responded extremely quickly, answering questions I had and even providing a photo of her fenced yard before booking. While Barney was staying with her I got lots of updates and photos/videos of his time there. He settled in quickly with her beautiful dog Moose and it seemed like they had lots of fun!
Jan was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend. I really appreciated how she sent pictures and communicated so well—it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My pet was clearly in great hands, and I could tell she truly cares about the animals she watches. I highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Hopeful home-away-from-home, 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 Hopeful.
<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 Hopeful 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 , 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 .
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.
