“This was our first time ever using Rover or even someone outside of our family to watch our sweet pups. Jaclyn was amazing!! She kept us up to date on how the pups were doing and sent us pictures. She was so communicative and attentive to our dog’s needs. We love Jaclyn, the pups loved Jaclyn, and we will continue to use her if the need arises!”
“This was the first time we used Rover and the first time our GSD has ever stayed at anyone else’s home (he’s 4.5 years old!). We were apprehensive, but reading the reviews on Rebecca and meeting her and her family (dogs and humans) we felt very comfortable leaving him. Then while we were away she sent numerous photos and videos all showing what an amazing time he was having playing with the other dogs. I almost wondered if he’d want to come back. He was clearly well taken care of and that made our trip so much more relaxing.”
“Shelby & Spencer are so kind! Charlee had the best time! I couldn't be happier with the care she received. She came home totally exhausted and so happy — which tells me she got plenty of playtime, love, and attention. I’ll definitely use them again💙!”
“Jessie is the best when it comes to looking after my dogs. She is very responsive and active when it comes to updates on furry friends. Overall 10/10 pet sitter and would highly recommend!”
“Mary was absolutely amazing to work with. She was completely flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Her love of animals is completely transparent. She kept me completely updated on how much fun my girl was having by the multiple pictures I received daily. I won't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Brooke was awesome. My cat is very nervous but she felt right at home with Brooke from day one! Book her! You will not have to worry about your furry loved one at all.”
“Cam was so patient and so sweet to Bubbles while I was away. She sent pictures and videos daily so I could see how she was doing. And if Bubbles was being difficult, Cam was so open to suggestions to make sure Bubbles had the best possible time. Bubbles came home exhausted from having so much fun and slept the entire ride home. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Tory was amazing with Enzo!! Always kept me frequently updated me on how he was. In all the pictures you could tell he was very happy and smiley. Will definitely book her again!!!!”
“I had such a great experience with Anita! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my pet. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was happy and well taken care of. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were treated with lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Wow!!!! Is all that I can say. My husband and I were hesitant at first about leaving our precious Jewel Sasha with just anyone. BUT we came across Todd & Gail T. All I can say is Professionalism at its best. The communication was great, the happiness on Sasha was evident of an Awesome experience. They are phenomenal. We are now at ease, knowing that we have found the perfect match. Words alone really can’t describe how we feel. Todd & Gail are truly God sent ❤️🌸❤️”
“I left my bulldog with Megan over the Thanksgiving holiday and he was pretty tuckered out when I picked him up. A tired bulldog is a happy bulldog! Megan sent pictures of him enjoying cuddles and I will definitely be bringing Brutus back again.”
“Cashmere loves Tara and so do I. I love the fact she has other dogs that Cashmere can socialize with. It allows her to become better acquainted and become more tolerable. She also helpful for first time pet owners like me who allow their puppy to do things that they shouldn’t but she help coach the parents.”
“Jennifer was great! She kept me updated about Lily the whole time and even made suggestions to help her eat more. She really cared for her and had great doggies for mine to play with. Would definitely recommend and use again! Fantastic ☺️”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Macon 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 Macon 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 Macon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Macon. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Macon 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 TN 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.
