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!”

“This was Radnor’s second stay with Lindsay & Chris and once again, the level of care he received was top notch! We never worried one second while we were gone even when we heard there was a winter storm expected with possible power outages because they let us know they had it covered if that happened. We are thankful we found them to care for Radnor!”

“Grace was one of our favorite Rover sitters for Leo. From the moment we met her, we knew that she would take incredible care of him. She is very warm, friendly, patient, and passionate about dogs. She made us feel very welcome when we first met her and ensured that Leo would be her priority. She continued to send us updates of how Leo was doing when we were out of town and that made us feel at ease. She treated Leo like her own and took him to the parks and various errands around town. We would love to continue to have Grace watch Leo the next time we are traveling. We would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had a dog off and on since the age of 2. I tend to have a connection with any animal, I love them all! Nothing makes me more happy than to spend time with fur babies!🤍 I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ll make sure your dog is not only well taken care of, but also happy when they’re with me. <333 I currently work full time and have karate practice twice a week. I am free all days of the week except Tuesdays and Fridays at 7:45 PM -9:00 PM. When walking your dog I will make sure they’re on a leash so that they’re not able to run off and get lost. If your furbaby is staying at my house they will be well fed and kept warm and comfy with the company of my baby brother and parents. If I go to a clients home I will follow any given instructions on how to take care of the dog.
“Megan was so wonderful! She gave regular updates and loved my pup like her own. She handled my high anxiety pup with ease and had no issues giving him his daily meds. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands! I’m excited to have found a new pet sitter for all our travel needs because we will definitely be back!”
“This was my first time looking for Pet sitting for my busy body Frenchie & I was nervous. Angela is AMAZING! Her communication, personality & overall care is top notch! Not to mention she eased any anxiety I had from our first chat. Also, it was wonderful to receive the hilarious photos daily of my Kenzo. I am already re-booking with her again. If you want your pet to feel right at home & be treated with love & care then Angela is for you! She really is a great person inside & out.”

This is not our pup’s first time with Lena but it was his longest stay as my husband and I took a holiday trip for a week and half before Christmas. Lena was wonderful as always and went above and beyond what was expected as our lil malitpoo can be a little much at times. We 100% recommend Lena!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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 Nelson.
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 Nelson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Nelson 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.
