“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“Judith was the best pet sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond to make Zelie feel at home. She made communication easy and sent frequent photos, videos, and updates. She welcomed us warmly at drop off and made pick up on our schedule easy. I highly recommend Judith!”
“Larry was wonderful. He has a terrific back yard and our dog seems to have done well. Larry sent photos of our dog having fun in the yard. I will return to Larry in the future.”
“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”
“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”
“I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone. Giovanni was awesome with Cooper. Cooper got lots of exercise and playtime. Giovanni sent pictures and my mind was at ease. I 100% recommend this caretaker for your pet. I will be using him again.”
“Nothing but good things to say about this visit for our Dog. Josie sent updates every day and we could tell our dog had so much fun at their home! She even delivered our dog back to us at end of stay! Amazing experience and we’ll do again!”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I currently share my home with two wonderful cats and a pet snake, so I completely understand the unique daily routines, body language, and specialized care that different species require. I am deeply responsible and detail-oriented. I know how important it is to strictly follow feeding schedules, maintain clean environments, and provide the exact type of attention your pet prefers—whether that is high-energy play, patient socialization, or just peaceful company. I treat every animal with the same high level of safety and love that I give my own creatures at home. As a small business owner, I work from home and manage my own schedule. This gives me incredible daytime flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, administer timely medications, and give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day. As a business owner, safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat your home with total respect, closely follow your security routines, and strictly adhere to all specific pet feeding and safety instructions. I provide a calm, highly organized, and safe environment. My own experience with sensitive cats and a reptile means I am hyper-aware of keeping spaces clean, temperature-controlled, and completely hazard-free for animals. Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority. As a responsible business owner, I am detail-oriented, highly dependable, and respectful of your home. I maintain a calm, clean, and hazard-free environment, ensuring your traditional or exotic pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while you are away.
“Charles was awesome and kept me up to date with my dog while I was gone. Communication was excellent and he was so understanding of my travel needs. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Charles!”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care. She kept me updated and treated Chloe like she was her own. It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

“We booked with Paige at the last minute and it was the best decision we made. Her and her family where very welcoming with getting to know Storm. When we picked her up, we could tell that she was treated like their own. I got pictures of the snuggles which warmed my daughter's heart knowing that her baby was in great hands. We will be booking again when we need care for Storm 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 Jekyll Island 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 Jekyll Island.
<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 Jekyll Island 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.
