“My husband was worried about leaving our baby with anyone for the first time. However Judith reassured us that our baby snowman would be fine. He was definitely fine and well taken care of. Thank you so much Judith and we will see you again very soon.”
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!
“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!”
“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!!”
“I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone. Giovanni was awesome with Cooper. Cooper got lots of exercise and playtime. Giovanni sent pictures and my mind was at ease. I 100% recommend this caretaker for your pet. I will be using him again.”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Mrs. Lisa was a phenomenal dog sitter. she took both my dogs in when i was in a tricky situation and cared for both my fur babies like her own. Always sent updates and pictures/videos to make me feel like i was there with my babies. she really loved them like they were her own for the short period of time she was with them. 1000/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was 8 years old and have experience with both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve provided overnight stays as well as daily drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings, and I make communication with pet parents a priority so they always feel confident their pet is well cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in both my home and my clients’ homes. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, medications if needed, and house rules. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, ensure doors and gates are secure, and remove any potential hazards from their environment. I respect my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized, and I provide regular updates with photos so pet parents feel comfortable and informed. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Taylor was the best - she sent a bunch of pictures and videos throughout our dog’s stay, and he very clearly had a great time. Communication was quick and clear, and the whole process was smooth as can be. We’ll be re-booking with Taylor going forward!”

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.
94% of sitters in Saint Simons Island 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 Saint Simons Island home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
