“Another great visit! Pictures, videos, updates, on one on attention - So great knowing my dog is taken care of and is having fun playing with other dogs! I am a repeat customer and will use Jackie again. I recommend everyone else does too!”
“Vivian was great with our dogs. We have a 5lb Yorkie that can be anxious, but she walked right up to Vivian in the meet and great. She demonstrated no anxiety during her stay with Vivian. Our Boots settled right in and made friends with Vivian’s dogs. Vivian sent pictures all throughout the visit. We will certainly use Vivian again and again.”
“Great pet sitter! Victoria is super friendly and she had my furry babies super spoiled the whole time. She sent photos and videos and I could see how Happy my doggies were. She has two dogs of her own and they are also super friendly and nice with other dogs.”
“My boys dont have a lot of experience staying with other people, but im so glad u booked with Lilleigh and Gwen! They made my boys right at home and gave them constant love! I was able to actually enjoy our trip and not worry if they were comfortable.”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“When I say if you need someone last minute and want someone who's gonna love your babies just like your own? This beautiful soul is the one you need to contact. She's been absolutely amazing! She went and picked up my such baby from a friend's house and got her back to health in a matter of days. I've always been very iffy about someone with my fur babies. But Jennifer is and will always be a true blessing. I wished I could give her more stars. She's sent videos, pictures. And kept me updated on everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.
“Parker took my dog in the same day I asked and took care of her for five days. My lab is very energetic and loving and I could tell she was well taken care of. I would book with him again, amazing job and great communication!”
“Danielle was an outstanding sitter! We needed a last-minute booking, and her flexibility made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She went above and beyond by providing amenities we weren't able to supply at the time. The biggest testament to her care was how relaxed our Frenchie was when returning home. Seeing him that calm means he felt safe, happy, and completely anxiety-free throughout his stay. We would not hesitate to book Danielle again and highly recommend her!”
“My boys LOVE being with Stephanie and her family. She recently kept them for 2 weeks…she sent pictures throughout their stay. She sent them home tired and clean! I definitely trust Stephanie with my boys any time.”
“Eden is a great caretaker. I could tell that my dog was very comfortable in her home. She was very accommodating and sent me videos and pictures to show me how my little guy was doing while I was away.”
About: I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to animals. From fish to farm animals. I have two cats and two dogs and chickens and goats and pigs and ducks. Along with house birds. I am currently not working. I am a stay-at-home mom. So my schedule is pretty open. Especially to boarding I have the space for it. TimeWise I do work around my toddler schedule for dog walking and Cat sitting. I have a fenced in backyard. A very large house. I also have four kids that love animals. So an animal that loves kids would be preferred. But not completely out of the question if there is a child issue I can just keep my kids away from the animal. Pretty easy to fix.
“Our dog, Auggie, had a great time with Ivy and her family! He got tons of exercise and love and Ivy provided multiple updates and photos throughout his stay. We were able to arrange a meet and greet beforehand and knew right away that Auggie would be in amazing hands. We would definitely book with Ivy again and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking! 😊”
About: I've taken care of many animals aince I was young and I've always had a bunch and all different kinds of animals and all size dogs I'm currently working full time as a caregiver but I'm available to work every Monday and Wednesday at any time but during the other days I'm not available after 3pm I have caged dogs that would be put up when I'm sitting and and I fenced yard but lots of room for them to play around with on the long leash
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love to spend time with them! I have been trusted to watch pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, etc. and would love to be trusted with yours! Pet care fits easily into my routine. I plan my day around feedings, walks, playtime, and making sure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks or playtime, litter or potty care, and plenty of attention. I keep their environment clean and comfortable and provide updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and safe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rome
Hayley was a God send sitter. My Millie girl is a pitbull and I always find such a hard time finding someone who will sit her. Hayley was wonderful to her, her updates, pictures and communication was exceptional. I could tell she loves animals and loves them like they’re her own. 10/10 stars ⭐️ I look forward to using Hayley again in the future.
We are so grateful for Hayley and her care of our Tilly. Even when we needed someone last minute, Hayley generously helped us out. It gives me great peace of mind that Tilly is with a family being given personalized care while we are away instead of a lonely kennel.

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.
99% of sitters in Rome 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 Rome 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 Rome.
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 Rome. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 Rome 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.
