“Tracy and her husband were absolutely amazing. This was our first time using river and I could be happier. My initial message was responded to within minutes, she sent photo and video updates throughout the day, and was great at initiating the initial interaction between our pups and hers. One of my dogs is pretty timid around new people and by the end of the day, she was so comfortable with Tracy! We are so thankful they were available for this last minute booking and will be returning if we are ever in need of a sitter in the area again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we found Jennifer. She took great care of FreeLoader and Mooch. From the pictures and updates Jennifer provided, I could see how happy, comfortable and ‘at home’ my pups felt!”
“Larry is just great. He's a really nice guy and a gentleman, which is nice to come across these days. We talked to him for 2 minutes and it was clear to us how much he loves the dogs he cares for. We were totally confident leaving our little Sushi with him. Larry sent some terrific photos and touched base throughout the day. We visit the area pretty often and Larry's now our go to sitter in NE Florida. Nice to know that Sushi has a loving family to visit when we're here. Thanks so much, Larry. See you soon.”

“Thomas & Cara are friendly and received Marly with open arms, She did well with their dog and she was pleasant according to Cara. Photos included for a short visit today. I will not have hesitate rebooking with this couple in the future.”
“Renee was an amazing sitter for our pup! She was kind, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. A great bonus was that her dog was nice playmate, which kept our pup happy and entertained. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We also ended up needing a little extra time for pickup, and Renee was incredibly accommodating and flexible. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“Moose had so much fun on his play date! I got lots of updates throughout the day which was super helpful in easing my anxiety. Pary is really nice and her puppy Bonnie is very cute and loves playing with moose! They got along great together and I can’t wait for more play dates, highly recommend!”
“Linda was OUTSTANDING...providing last-minute care for my dachshund mix while I was visiting the island for family vacation. She responded promptly, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was very accommodating to our travel schedule. She is located a short distance from many hotels and resorts on Amelia island so it was no problem to drop and pick up my pup. I would definitely book her again and give her my highest recommendation. Rocky loved her too!”
About: I have owned and watched a variety of animals. I have watched dogs in the past for my neighbors and family. I will let them run around outside and throw the ball with them. I also let them roam around the house most of the day. I will also take my pets on a walk as long as the weather is decent! I do not want them to overheat or get really wet because of rain. I do work full time but I have flexibility with my schedule and am able to be home a lot. My work days is normally around 6 hours. I use to work as a vet tech so I am well versed with how to handle animals and ensure they are properly taken care of. I have a fenced yard and I let them run around for a few minutes if I don’t go outside with them. I don’t usually leave my pets outside longer than 10 or 15 mins without being outside. The yard is big enough for them to run around and tire themselves. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood that I will take them to if no one is in the park. It is very spacious and allows for them to get a lot of energy out!
“Let me just say first and foremost that my experience with Cara has been absolutely more better than I could have asked for. My puppy was coming and I needed someone to immediately watch him during the work week and she took him in and and loved him just as I would. We continue to have her watch Magnus and he loves playing with her, the kids and her two puppies. She is extremely attentive to his needs and always sends pictures of him throughout the day. It’s very helpful to know my baby is in the hands of someone who really cares for the dogs as if they were her own. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind than with her. I’m so happy to have her as my dog sitter.”
About: We have a two cats and three kids who love all animals. We get all our doggy love now from pet sitting and our cats always love new friends. My husband and I both work full-time, but our schedules vary slightly, so pets are typically home alone for no more than about 7 hours during the day. I also have 1–2 weekdays off each week and am home on weekends, allowing for plenty of quality time, play, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and full of love. We teach our children to interact with animals gently and respectfully, and all interactions are supervised. I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of our own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.

Eboni is fantastic. It's always hard to leave your pup with someone new, but she made us feel very comfortable. Ramsey is a very snuggly dog that loves attention and he was very well cared for. Eboni sent us pictures and an update very early in his stay to let us know how he was settling in, which instantly calmed our nerves. She was super responsive and kind when answering all of our questions. We are so happy we found her and Ramsey will absolutely be back!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint Marys commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 507 sitters in Saint Marys, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
