“I can’t recommend them enough! This was my first time leaving my 10-month-old puppy, Ollie, for several days, and I was honestly so nervous. They immediately put my mind at ease with regular updates, photos, and great communication throughout my trip. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy! 🤍🐾”
“Dana and Brandon were great. Clean and welcoming environment. Kinda felt like dropping our fur-kid off at a friends house for the weekend. They stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pics. We will definitely be calling on them in the future and recommending them to our friends.”
“Kyrie was great. I had to go away on a trip for 12 days and entrusted my pup with Ky. He sent daily photo's and video's and kept me aware of how things were going while I was away. Dropping off and picking up was a breeze. He asked a lot of questions prior so he knew exactly how I take care of my pup and could keep his habits the same. I will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Valerie did an excellent job of caring for my old girl while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my Princess was being cared for and given the attention she needed. I will book Valerie again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to board their dog.”
“So glad that I found Bryan, he was wonderful with my fur baby Max. We were visiting Macon for a few days and needed a sitter and a place for Max to have fun and we found that and so much more! I highly recommend Bryan, we will definitely try to book with him again next time we are in the area, I'd give him 10 stars if I could!”
“For the years we have had our Yorkie-Poo, we have never had her boarded. With beach reservations not including our family’s pets this year, we had to find a place for her to stay. Procrastination got the best of me because I did not want Tilly in a kennel. She’s an anxious pup especially when she is left alone during the day. So, I never found the “right” place to board her in fear she would cry the entire time we were gone. Down to the wire, I did a search online and found Rover.com and Kathy. What a blessing she was! The moment she opened the door to her home, I knew Tilly would be well cared for. There were different dogs there. All sizes. She seemed to have it all under control. She kept me posted during our week away. She sent me a few pictures which showed Tilly was just fine and in her element. Upon arriving to pick Tilly up, Kathy and Tilly greeted me at the door and our little bundle of happiness was just as happy as could be and did a lap around the den to show her excitement to the other dogs. Nothing negative to say about our experience. We will easily call on Kathy again when the time arises.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities since childhood. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic medications, and reinforcing training. I’m especially patient with anxious, senior, and rescue dogs and always prioritize safety, comfort, and positive interactions. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time and structure my days around animal care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits during the week, with extra flexibility on weekends. I enjoy giving pets consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I’m attentive to behavioral cues, leash safety, and home rules. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize secure spaces, supervision, and clear communication with pet parents so pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I have a large fenced backyard.
“Kayla did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She accepted the booking on short notice and also extended it when I had to stay out of town an extra day. Sent timely updates with photos and made it an enjoyable experience for Kimber. Would absolutely recommend booking with her. 10/10 would book again”
“Brodie seemed to enjoy his time with Dylan, his dogs, and his young son ! Frequent updates and pictures were sent. They have a big backyard perfect for for playing fetch and running around !”
About: Hello, My name is Alesia. I am very nice, friendly and outgoing person, and I love meeting new dogs and their parents. I have a precious little White Maltipoo Dog named Casper, and a little female Yorkshire Terrier named Chloe. Sometimes my Grand Dog, Cash, comes over to visit and play. He is a Labradoodle. I (and my husband -Ray) have raised a number of dogs throughout the years from, Toy Poodles, Miniature Pinchers, to Chows. We are partial to the smaller, lap dogs who love to be petted and cuddled so they will feel safe while their owners are away. My little fur guest can choose to go outside a few times a day or just stay inside if they like. I am flexible to the needs of my little fur guests. I will feed the pets according to their accustomed schedule and take them outside when needed. I have a very nice, secured fenced back yard for running and playing ball. And, by all means bring their favorite crate, bed, blanket or toys so they will feel right at home. Bring their favorite food and any treats that they are accustomed to eating. And of course, fresh water is always available. Please bring their collar and leash for their walk time. Some people even bring Mom or Dads piece of clothing (like at shirt) to sleep with so they will feel close to them, while they are away. I appreciate your business and I am here to serve your pet so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I am retired and stay at Home unless I need to run a short errand etc. My home is quiet and peaceful. I have a glass front door if your furbaby wants to lay or sit and look out the door. I have two small senior Furbabies. They cuddle on the sofa with us. Your Furbaby is welcome to cuddle with us if they want to. We always have bowls of fresh water available at all times. We have a nice clean fenced backyard for your Furbabies to walk around in or take care of their business.

I can guarantee that your pet will be provided plenty of affection, attention, and exercise while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a clean, safe environment. Trust between the pet owner and sitter is everything, and I intend to gain the owners approval through exceptional pet care.
“Kayla was amazing! She watched my dog for a few days and kept me updated every single day, which gave me real peace of mind. This was my first time using a sitter, and she made the whole process feel easy and completely stress-free. I could tell my dog was well taken care of and in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. We have had our fur baby since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 4 years old. His name is Chunk. He loves children, animals his best friend is Baxter he is 12 years old and he is a Schnauzer. I have had a cleaning business for a little over 10 years and even tho is was not apart of my job I started falling in love with my customers babies. I will love on them, take them out to potty, give them fresh water and treats and clean up any messes they have made and then I decided to start offering to take care of them for the customers if they needed a sitter. So I take care of both cats and dogs. I never knew that I could love these babies as much as I love my family, I consider all the fur babies my family. My Chunk Chunk is my very best friend. I am his person. I potty trained him, I taught him to sit, shake, lay, and when I use the word calm if he gets super excited then he will automatically sit and behave. He is very playful with other animals. He has never been aggressive or biten anyone bc all he has ever known is love. If you choose me to take care of your babies know that I will take care of them and love them as if they were my own children. We are animal lovers and would love to meet and have more fur babies in out lives. I clean houses part time. So I am very flexible when it comes to your babies routine. When I speak with the customer I always like for the customer to write a list of the babies daily routine and then I have a filing system set up with all your babies information so we make sure everything is done when it supposed to be and then I set a reminder and a timer for breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and if medication is needed as well. I am super ocd so I have a folder for every baby to keep records of everything. If your baby is at my home we live in a 3 bedroom apartment they are free to run around anywhere and they are allowed on the couch and the bed. Alot of times we sit on the couch or floor with them and watch TV and get the puppy toys out and let them play. We take the puppies out multiple times a day to go potty or to go walk and let them play outside. If I watch them at your home I do like a list of instructions and what they're normal routine is so I can keep them comfortable and happy and I want them to feel safe with me. I like to learn they're personalities so I can learn who they are, what they like and what they don't like. I am one who loves to hold them alot and pet them.
“Arnelia was great with my dogs! She sent many photos and videos, and she ensured they were comfortable playing with the other dogs in the home before allowing them to run around together. We also had a meet-and-greet prior to their stay, which was helpful to ensure it would be a good fit. She has a wonderful fenced yard for the dogs to run in that she keeps well maintained. Arnelia provides training and grooming during their stay and was able to quickly pick up on their training needs. The dogs seemed very happy while they were there. I look forward to working with Arnelia again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rutland
Lindsey took good care of Nicky, and he came home happy and in one piece. 😊 She arrived a little late for pickup, but otherwise everything went well. Her dog seemed friendly and got along well with other pets. I would have appreciated a few more updates during the stay, but she always responded when I reached out. To be fair, it was a holiday weekend, so I understand she may have been busier than usual. Overall, I had a positive experience, and I'm grateful she took care of Nicky. Would definitely rebook with her.

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.
97% of sitters in Rutland 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 Rutland 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 Rutland.
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 Rutland. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Rutland 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.
