“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“Heather and family were very accommodating. They worked with us on varying time frames, and Shadow seemed to settle in very well. He also enjoyed the company of another dog in the house. We will definitely use this family again if they are available.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ashley was wonderful! We were staying nearby at a hotel in Jekyll Island and her house was the perfect little quick detour. Our dog, Max, seemed to love his stay. She sent us many photos and even remembered to give Max his meds when I, at the last minute, decided to pick him up sooner than originally planned. If we’re ever in the area again, we will 100% book her again!”
“Highly recommend!! Stacey gave exceptional care to my rescue dog (first time ever being boarded!) and my semi-feral cat at home. She’s patient, experienced, and so detail-oriented. I appreciated her communication so much. I’ll be using her again soon!”
“We will definitely use Jennifer again! She kept us updated during our puppy’s overnight stay and sent us several cute photos of our puppy playing with her and the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing our pup was in good hands!!”
“Melanie was super accommodating and helpful for our wedding day dog care! Worked out very well for her to pop over to our wedding venue for some brief dog pictures. Very quick to respond and reliable!”
“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”
“Excellent! Terrific communication, two very friendly dogs and a dog-savvy cat and a lovely dog-friendly home and yard. They welcomed our senior dog and made sure she was comfortable, enjoyed walks and was allowed to find her own cozy space. Just the nice people & place we hoped to find.”
“Gabrielle did great with my dogs Bentley and Roxy. It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but she sent me pictures of my pups everyday which helped me feel better being away from them. If I need someone to take care of my dogs again, I will definitely reach out to Gabrielle.”
“Yvonne was wonderful with Miley! I could tell when I walked in to pick her up that Miley had a good week and was at ease with Yvonne. I appreciated the pictures and updates! I would definitely ask Yvonne to keep Miley again if I had travel plans and she was willing - it was a good experience for Miley and mom!”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship.

As of August 2026, there are 58 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Simons Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Simons Island 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 Saint Simons Island.
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 Saint Simons Island 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.
