“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Our puppy, Dolly, had a perfect experience staying with Ben. She made a new best friend with Ben's dog, went to the beach and on outings every day, and we got lots of fun photos during our trip. We will definitely use Ben again.”
“Heather is a kind, dog-loving sitter. She was responsive to all texts before and during the stay. I also received daily photos and brief status updates on Essie. I felt Essie was in good hands during our week away, and this helped me enjoy my vacation. Definitely would use Heather again.”
About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our kids! 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 alwaysat home. 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!
“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.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of horses for the last 5 years and they are pretty much like big dogs lol.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Sapelo 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 Sapelo 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 Sapelo 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.
