“Yvonne was gracious in offering to watch Max and Raven on short notice as I had an opportunity to visit family staying in her area. This was the dogs first time utilizing Rover and staying with a sitter. I am very grateful they were so well-cared for and comforted to be in her lovely home rather than confined to a small hotel room for 6 hours. I highly recommend Yvonne.”
“I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for daycare for their dog. She was very flexible working with our schedule as we were visiting St Simon Island. Communication was great and our lab Tilly was happy and well cared for.”
“Jessica took excellent care of our toy poodle Victor. Victor is normally shy and anxious when he’s away from home, but I could tell from the pictures that Jessica shared that he was having a great time and was being taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!”
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!
“Heather was amazing! From the moment we messaged her to dropping off our Penne girl. Highly recommend and if we are ever back in the area we would definitely not hesitate to use her again. Thank you and the kids for making Pennes day so fun!”
“Lisa and her husband were amazing!! Made us feel welcome, which was so reassuring for our baby girl!!! Made our first experience with Rover services outstanding ?? Our baby is a rescue and takes her a little time to warm up. I was so blessed within no time to be receiving pictures of her comfortable in their home!!”
“Taylor did great with our pup! She sent lots of photos and was great with communication. She always responded quickly and kept me up to date. I definitely recommend Taylor! Thanks!!”
“Eboni and her daughter gave my Belle lots of love. You can always tell when you pick them up if they have received good care. We are so thankful to have used them for our trip to St.Marys.”
“When Parys says she will treat your dog like her own, she truly means it. She is exceptional with our dog, Dexter, and always goes above and beyond to make each day special; whether it is a refreshing dip at the beach or a relaxing day soaking up the sun, he always has the best time! Parys quickly learned Dexter’s personality and knows how to make each day special for him. And her dog, Bonnie, is incredibly sweet and is the perfect companion for Dexter. Her communication is amazing, and we love getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We feel incredibly grateful to have found Parys. We know when we drop Dexter off, he will receive love, dedication, and trusting care.”
“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.”
“Zoi did an amazing job with our two goldens! We are so thankful that she was able to take our very last minute request for dog care. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs and made sure they got lots of playtime. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!”

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 Simons Island 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 45 sitters in Saint Simons Island, 85% 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.
