“So lucky I found Rebekah, Koda loves coming and seeing her! I love knowing that when he goes to stay there that he is in GREAT hands! This is my second time using Rebekah and I have loved her!! Highly recommend!”
“Katie was great ! I would use her again. The set up in the yard for my dog was beautiful. She also was great at sending pictures and updates on my dog. Thank you Katie for making me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby with you.”
“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”
“Valeria had our two timid babies for 5 days. This was the first time leaving them, but they did great. They enjoyed the fenced yard and that freedom as well as her kids. She kept in touch and sent pictures, and never made me feel like I was bothering her. :) We are already planning to utilize her again for a trip later in the year.”

Thank you Lania for taking care of our boy!!! We highly recommend her and definitely plan to use her again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m an active person and love being outside, so frequent walks are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a chore! I’m happy to give your dog plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also comfortable caring for elderly pets and administering medications when needed. I have a small Maltipoo of my own who is a very loved member of our family. I personally trained him, so I have hands-on experience with positive training, dog behavior, and helping dogs feel comfortable and understood. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and treat them like one of my own. My goal is for them to have a happy, safe, and fun time while you’re away! I work from home and am self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m able to provide frequent drop-ins and walks throughout the day when I’m not staying with a pet, rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I genuinely love being active and taking dogs on walks, so getting outside for walks is something I look forward to! I’m happy to provide multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention depending on each dog’s needs and routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also accommodate pets who do best with more frequent visits and need a little more attention and love. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care their pets may need. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship…not just a quick visit. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks and am happy to provide frequent walks or drop-ins when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. If a pet stays in my home, they’ll be welcomed as part of the family and will receive plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and affection. We have a fully fenced in yard, so your pups will have a safe and supervised environment for extra outside time and sniffs. I also have a well-trained Maltipoo of my own who loves making new friends!
“Anita was so amazing with my two fur babies. She kept us updated with pictures the entire time and they were very well taken care of. The environment was perfect for them and they felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Anita and would use her again to keep our babies.”
“Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Madison is such a Godsend. She sent me tons of pictures and kept me in the loop of how my baby was doing. She made her so comfortable to where she felt right at home. My dog warmed up to her pretty quickly. I had some issues with my pick up date and she was very accommodating! Her home is very welcoming and her backyard space is perfect for large dogs, I couldn’t be more grateful for her, I’m DEFINITELY going to book with her again and everyone else should as well.”
“Michelle and Philip are a fun couple. Full of love and compassion that flows throughout their home between their children and pets. Accommodating our request with a one week notice was a blessing. My fur girls are new to boarding based on Michelle's updates and photos they were able to adjust and remained comfortable during their extended weekend. My fur babies returned home healthy and happy 😊.”
“Yari was very sweet and sent me pictures of my puppy while I was away for a few days. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. My dog came back with everything she came with and no fleas or anything bad like my last dog sitter Thank you so much ! Book Yari you can tell she loves animals.”
About: I've always had dogs growing up and would dog sit for neighbors when needed. I've cared for all ages. I can give medicine as needed and go on walks at their pace and however long they like to walk or play Pet sitting is my full time job to devote it all to what i love doing. Animals are my life and deserve all the time they need without being rushed I have flexibility to come tend to your fur babies any day or night as needed. I will spoil them and give treats as if they were my own babies.
“Maria is so awesome! She kept us updated and took photos of her eating her food (letting us know Paris wasn’t stressed), photos of them on walks and Paris being happy at with her. As a frenchie owner we were worried from our last experience but Maria changed that worry and we’d definitely recommend Maria! Thank you Maria ☺️”
“Jennifer was such a good person to me and my Blu she took excellent care of her as she was her own and always keep me updated of everything my blu did she send me pictures everyday of her. If I need another care for blu or any other pet I have I will definitely pick Jennifer again always thank you so much for everything you did ❤️ if there would be more stars to give you I'll definitely give them all to you Jennifer 🙏”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a vibrant, pet filled home with 3 dogs and 16 cats. Having so many furry family members from a young age taught me exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. Today, my world still revolves around pets, including my own sweet dog, Tequila, who is my full-time sidekick! Because I am with my dog Tequila all day long, your pet will benefit from constant supervision, structure, and companionship. I have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends handling everything from quick dog walks to extended overnight home boarding. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and attention that I give to my own. I work from home and my job is flexible. My home has a large yard, large enough for lots of running and playing. I also, have a car in case of emergencies or for longer walks at the park. Taking your dog out on different walks or as many walks as they want to go on throughout the day should not be a breeze. There will be lots of safe exploring and running around outdoors depending on your dog’s energy level. I have a few indoors and outdoor toys for playing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rutledge is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $38 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 551 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rutledge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Rutledge 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 Rutledge 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 Rutledge.
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.
You and your Rutledge 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.
