“Catchea took excellent care of Diesel! She was very professional, kept communication and sent pictures. He was happy and in good spirits when we return. I highly recommend❤️”
About: I’m a retired wildlife biologist with lots of time and interest in taking care of animals. I’ve had dogs and indoor (mostly) cats most of my life and thus I’m fully used to scooping poo, sweeping up kitty litter, etc. You will not return to a minefield in the yard or a messy litter box I’m retired and thus available often. You can count on me to spend quality time with your pets, not just feed and go. I look forward to meeting them I like animals more than most people, haha, and will care for them with great focus. Your pets will be my buddies and we’ll have a safe and fun time together. I do not have a fence but my house is in the middle of a 113 acre mostly wooded property I own.
“Our 2 goofy, big golden doodles always enjoy their time with Josh & Kerith. Getting photos of them playing is a nice little bonus, too! I know they are so excited to go there, but I’m happy when we pick them up - mainly because I always miss them. But, I never worry about them when they are with Josh & Kerith, because I know they are very well cared for!”
“Top tier service. I’ve never really been separated from have my dog he’s always with me. Rebekah made me feel so comfortable with leaving Loki behind in her care. I receive constant updates and pictures. Seriously I don’t think my dog missed me at all -she updated me with saying that her kids loved playing with him.he a Doberman so his energy levels can be high at times. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Michelle was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and her family. Her dogs are well behaved and put off a good calm energy that mine picked up on immediately. We received daily updates with pics/videos which was a very nice touch and set our minds at ease. We will definitely be using her again and super excited to find someone on Rover that was so close to our house.”
“James and his wife took incredible care of Lacy & Gizmo during their stay. Lacy has severe storm anxiety and James and his wife made sure she stayed comfortable. They went above and beyond taking care of my pups. He was great in sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them.”
About: With over 20 years of experience, your furry friends will have the best care and affection they could ever want. In addition, I provide daily reports and feedback to keep you informed while you are away. Currently a stay-at-home mom, so I can be quite flexible and work to your schedule. Our family is ready to help your pets feel secure while you travel. We have 3 acres of fenced-in land for your dog to roam free. In addition, we have a house and climate controlled barn should your babe need more space to themselves. Our ambassador hound Hermes should be able to keep them company as well.
“Katie was great ! I would use her again. The set up in the yard for my dog was beautiful. She also was great at sending pictures and updates on my dog. Thank you Katie for making me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby with you.”
“Mika treated my baby Willow as if she was her own. Mika has fur babies of her own and Willow having playmates. Mika kept me updated on a daily basis, on Willows care. We will definitely return!”
“They were great with our boy Hudson. They gave them one on one attention, took him hiking and included him in their daily activities. She updated us with photos without asking. Will definitely use them again”
“Deborah is very warm and friendly. It felt like we were dropping our pup off to friend or family. Her communication was great and we will definitely be returning.”
“Briana and her family are the best. I always feel safe leaving out sweet boy at their beautiful home. She understands pups and their quirks and always keeps us updated with his care. Briana is always our first choice of care. Thank you Briana and family. Chaucer loves you guys and so do we!”
“I would definitely recommend this sitter and absolutely use her again. She had a unexpected emergency during the time that she had my pet but she kept in complete communication with me each step of the way.”
“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”
“Joshua was a COMPLETE pleasure ! This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone (last minute at that) and he made sure Bruno was comfortable. I received updates throughout the day and he responded to messages quickly. I will definitely be using Joshua’s services again. Thank you !”
“Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Madison is such a Godsend. She sent me tons of pictures and kept me in the loop of how my baby was doing. She made her so comfortable to where she felt right at home. My dog warmed up to her pretty quickly. I had some issues with my pick up date and she was very accommodating! Her home is very welcoming and her backyard space is perfect for large dogs, I couldn’t be more grateful for her, I’m DEFINITELY going to book with her again and everyone else should as well.”

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 Shady Dale 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 Shady Dale.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Shady Dale 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.
