“My dog had such a great time staying here! He even made two furry friends during his stay, which made the experience even better. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, social, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and safe place for their pet! And let me in the loop of his stay there. Will book again!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Roger. It was one less thing to worry about on our trip. You are the best dog sitter! Highly recommended. JR taught our Roger a few new things, how to stay until called, how to stay calm on car rides. JR gave our Roger the special attention that she needed. Thank you JR 😀❤️❤️❤️❤️😀❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Jill was wonderful she took great care of our baby Toby. She was very accommodating and was quick to respond and also gave us updates on how he was doing. I wound definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Another wonderful stay for Bella with James and De!! She's always well taken care of and she loves staying there. She gets excited and runs to the door when I pack her bag and ask her if she wants to go see James. :)”
“As always, Caylei took excellent care of my disabled boy. This time, she has a bit of an emergency when he was unable to be expressed for urine. She took him with her to work where he had his bladder drained, saving him. Thank you, Caylei, for always being so competent and capable, especially with my special needs guy.”
“Linda took great care of my girl. She also sent pictures and videos to help ease my fears of leaving Bella for the first time with someone other than family. I could not have asked for a better person to watch Bella.”
“I had an amazing experience with Spark’s sitters Mrs. Pamella and Mr. Barry! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew they were in great hands. They were caring, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while I was away. You can really tell they treat every pet like family. I highly recommend Pamela and Barry to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. I’ll definitely be booking again!!😊”
“We had an amazing experience with Delmina and family. We got lots of updates with pictures, videos, and texts throughout the stay. Louis was closely watched and treated like their own. They followed all our instructions and took excellent care of him. Louis was definitely comfortable in her home and it showed with his calmness after leaving. We will 100% using Delmina again.”

About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
“I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.”
“Anita and her family were awesome taking care of my dog. They went for a hike/run every day and Eki loved it.He looked so happy when I took him back home; I would definitely book with Anita again♥️.”
“Adriana was great with both my dogs--one of whom can be very feisty. She kept me appraised of all their doings, and they seemed to be fine with their brand new sitter. I highly recommend her.”
“We were nervous leaving our shy girl with someone while we traveled. Dahlia was kind, patient, and excellent with communicating little updates (ex. she ate all her dinner, she’s been stealthily playing when she thinks no one is watching, etc) . She really set our mind at ease. I would ask her to cat sit again without any hesitation.”
“I left our dog, Paddy, in Miriam's care for the first time this past week, and am absolutely delighted by the loving care he got. When I first met Miriam, and her husband, at the Meet and Greet ahead of time, I could see their huge hearts for dogs (and cats) in their care. Their home is a welcoming and safe environment and Paddy took to it right away. Miriam understood his specific needs and gave him the attention he loves. He actually played with their little dog in their wonderful fenced in yard ; an opportunity he doesn't have at home (no other pets & no fenced in yard). I loved the pictures and messages she sent about how he was doing. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely leave Paddy in her care again - without reservations and without worrying about him! A great experience!”
“This was my first time using a babysitter outside of a doggy daycare business. I was nervous at first but Diana made me so comfortable with her love for animals and updates. For the first time my babies were not excited to see me when I returned! They looked as if I rained on their parade. Haha! I’m so happy, confident, comfortable and at peace with the care that was taken with my dogs. I’m grateful to have found Diana.”
“5 stars all the way! My Shiba Inu had the best time with Heather and her family last week—it was like a wilderness vacation for him! Their backyard is way bigger than ours, and he loves having all that space to run and explore. I got daily photo updates and great communication the whole time. He was clearly happy and well cared for, which made it easy for us to relax on our vacay. This is our second booking and we’ll definitely be back!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Russell
Nancy took wonderful care of our dog, Cash, while we enjoyed a little vacation! She was attentive to his needs and kept us updated daily, which gave us complete peace of mind. We never had to worry because we knew Cash was in great hands. We truly appreciate her care and would highly recommend her!
Nancy was fantastic. She has a wonderful personality and property for taking care of our pups. She was very attentive and sent cute photos while we were out of town dealing with a death in the family. Knowing they were with someone that cared was a load off our minds, but the photos were special smiles for us on such a hard weekend. Thank you Nancy.

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 Russell 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 Russell.
<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 Russell 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.
