“We had an excellent experience with Kenneth & Maria! They kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, happy, and loved. We truly appreciated the communication and professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! 🐾”
“I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Megan! She took care of my super shy cat for 3+ days and he felt right at home with her! Where he would typically hide under beds, he was letting her give him belly rubs and eating/sleeping well. I usually feel anxious and guilty all the time on our short vacations, worrying about him feeling stressed. This time was different ; the videos she sent told me he was doing great! Megan listened to what I said and worked her magic! I highly recommend this lovely lady to care for your fur babies 💝”
“Karen took excellent care of Molly. I got regular updates and pictures. Molly looked super happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and have her sit Molly again.”
“Jennie and her family treated Dunkin like one of their own. I can tell they really love dogs and that they enjoyed his stay as much as Dunkin did. I love that they have a large fenced back yard with lots of places for him to run around and explore. I would definitely recommend Jennie for both daycare and boarding.”
“Angie does great with my crazy pup Chai. Chai is well cared for and I can tell she is happy to be there when I drop her off and pick her up. Angie is great at communicating and caring towards animals. I have used her multiple times and will continue to when I need to board my pup. Feels good to be able to relax and know you dog will be in great hands when you use Angie.”
“She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was so sweet, communicative, and responsive throughout their stay, and I really appreciated all the pictures and video updates she sent. She made my dogs feel comfortable and cared for, and they seemed so happy and relaxed with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“This is my second time coming to Angie and Esteban and I have no complaints. She updated me everyday on how my dog was doing with cute pictures and after picking him up, I can tell he was taken very good care of. I will be coming back again!”
“Karina was very accommodating, communicates fast, and gives you clear expectations. My doggie spent a few days with her and her furry babies, and I got pictures and updates all throughout! I will definitely trust her again with my dog♥”
“In an absolute emergency, Lullia was able to recover my son’s father’s cat, his dad tragically died with a sudden heart attack and nobody could take the cat, we are in a different state and within 2 hours Lullia was able to locate and take care of of the cat for a while week until we could get there to bring her to our home. The cat was loved and cared for, we couldn’t ask for anything more, Lullia is such an angel for helping in our tone of grief and need! ❤️”
“Coco left a very happy dog! I plan to utilize this family regularly. So happy my dog had kids and another dog to play with— not to mention a yard to play in. Thank you so much for the excellent service!”
“Probably the best sitter my dog has had, she was definitely the most informative. She sent close to a dozen photos over her stay. I really appreciate her helping me out while I was out of town, I can guarantee I will use her again.”
“Our girl, Sparkles, truly enjoyed her stay with Lesley. She was treated like one of the family, had a great time playing with Lesley’s dogs, and I was sent lots of photos of Sparkles enjoying herself. :) I also loved the idea that Lesley was home most of the day so my girl didn’t have to feel nervous about staying home alone in a house she was unfamiliar with. Thanks, Lesley!”
“Kelsey did a wonderful job. We got pictures every day of our pups going in walks, hanging out on the couch, and enjoying their stay. They got a bath before they came home. Would definitely use Kelsey again!”
“I would highly recommend Staurt & Carlie. They took great care of our Husky when we where out of town .They treated him like there own & sent daily updates (including pictures). Thanks Staurt & Carlie”
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter for our Scarlet! She and her kids gave our girl lots of love, took her for hikes, and sent many sweet pictures. We truly enjoyed our time visiting family knowing Scarlet was in such loving hands with Lauren! We highly recommend her!”
“Couldn’t be happier with the care Yuliana gave Milo. She has a wonderful, spacious yard that Milo absolutely loved…. he's obsessed with grass, so he loved it. Yuliana is super attentive. She was on top of everything and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. She was willing and able to be flexible based on some specific wishes we had. Highly recommend her!”

Ty did an excellent job caring for my pup. I would absolutely recommend her! Excellent communication, very professional and made our dog feel at home right from the start. She took great care to specific requests and sent updates & pictures. I knew our dog was in great hands from the start which made our trip much more enjoyable knowing he was being well taken care of. Will be booking again!
Lorraine & Flavia took such great care of my boy Boss. You can tell they really love animals and sent me a ton of videos and updates. Felt amazing to have peace of mind knowing Boss was in great hands. I will DEFINITELY be using them again the next time I need to go out of town. Highly recommend!
My boy had a wonderful time at Kim’s home. I felt so happy that he was being treated and cared during our vacation. My boy had an unexpected medical issue a couple of days before boarding and needed some medical attention and Kim took great care of it! Thanks Kim!
Karina sent me pictures daily of my baby, Dany. She seemed happy and well taken care of. Dany looked well groomed and clean when I picked her up, the same as she did when I dropped her off. Dany seemed to have made friends during her visit which is always a plus as she is an only child. I would definitely use Karina again to watch Dany.
An absolutely wonderful experience. Excellent communication and sent videos and pics. More importantly my dog Max felt immediately comfortable and at home. He honestly didn’t care a bit when I left. The yard was perfect and safe for him to roam around. She asked all the right questions to make sure understood Max and how best to care for him. I will definitely book again.
I seriously can’t recommend Savannah enough! She and her family took amazing care of Rumi and Betty while I was away. My girls are both pretty shy and can take a while to warm up to new people, but it was obvious they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Savannah sent me updates and pictures every single day, which meant so much and let me actually relax knowing they were in great hands. She was also incredibly kind and compassionate from the moment I dropped them off, and that meant more to me than I can put into words. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been given lots of love and attention. I would trust Savannah with them again in a heartbeat, and I’m so grateful I found her. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pets like they’re her own, she’s the one!

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 Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest.
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 Lake Forest 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.
