“Kenzie is AWESOME!! She made time to come to our house to meet our big boy, prior to his 1st boarding experience with her. We felt 100% comfortable leaving Tank in her care. She is very accommodating, as we had to unexpectedly, extend his stay an extra day. I look forward to booking Kenzie in the future!”
“Candace was absolutely impeccable! She went above and beyond and my puppy was treated like family right away. I received updates/ pictures throughout the day and reassurance that my puppy slept through the night. I will be using her continuously and recommending her to everyone I know. Absolute 10/10 service 💓”
“My dog was well cared for and enjoyed every minute of his stay as well as his two furry friend playmates and the sitter! I was kept abreast with photos and videos from day one. The the home atmosphere was just what wanted for my pup. I have found his future sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover. My search was last minute! Tanisha responded quickly to my initial inquiry about availability. She answered my questions, took the time to meet me virtually, showed me where my fur baby would relax, play, rest, and eat which put me at ease. From the drop of to pick up, I knew my Basil was in great hands. I also loved the personal touch with pictures, short videos, and updates on Basil. Tanisha is the BEST!! She has certainly gained a client!!!!”
“Highly recommend Veronica! She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and information. She has a great establishment and is very professional. I will definitely be using her for all of my trips that I can not bring my dog on”
“Juliana was amazing! I was worried about boarding my baby for the first time plus my brother’s frenchie. They fell in love with her. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day. They seemed to have had a great time. Will definitely book her again if I ever need care for my Shih Tzu Taz.”
“Kayla was so loving and attentive, Hank had the best time! She was super quick with any/all response time and sent daily photos and videos and check-ins and updates. So thankful that we found her! Thanks for everything, Kayla!”
“Tobie is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of your baby. She watched our fig Roscoe for the first time for 5 days and the amount of pictures and videos she sent my kids loved it. My dog became her watch dog wherever she went he went. She will always have us as a client. THANK U AGAIN”
“Absolutely stellar experience with Rebekah and with Rover because of her. I definitely felt like i was leaving my boy with family and i didn't worry one bit about him being cared for on our family vacation. Rebekah and her family took great care of my Great Pyrenees and the updates i received while out of town helped me feel even better about leaving him behind. Rebekah was responsive, helpful and extremely accommodating especially considering our reservation was made 2 days before we left. She was awesome and understanding enough to let us get a meet and greet in before the final decision was made for her to keep him. I'd utilize Rebekah's services again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter that will pay attention to and take care of their four legged loved one. The peace of mind gained from this experience is far greater than the money it cost us and I can't be more satisfied.”
“Tammy & John did a great job watching Shelly over the holidays! They sent us an update with photos every single night. Our girl can be a bit overbearing at times and they handled her so well. I would absolutely recommend them to any dog owner and they will be my first choice when we need a sitter!”
“We love leaving our dogs with Kaio and Anik! They take such great care of Leo and Ellie and send a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely continue to use them more in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I did not really know what to expect. Glynis surpassed all of my hopes! She took such good care of Buster - sent me photos everyday, sent me updates on how he was doing, and she made sure that he enjoyed himself. I would give her 6 stars! She made sure to know and follow his routine. He is relatively new to my home, as he was a rescue and had only been with me a couple of months. From his behavior when we got home, I know he was made to feel secure and cared for while he stayed with Glynis and her family. While he was happy to see me when I returned, I doubt that he missed me, as he had such positive experiences, as did I. I highly recommend her!”
“Our poodle Kashi had a great play date with Soel and the crew for that day. Awesome space and area for the dogs to run around and get their energy out. Appreciated all the updates we received!”
“Susan was great with Sadie Belle! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated on her progress. She seems dedicated to her role as caregiver for the pets she keeps and she put my mind at rest right from the beginning! I will definitely be using her again if she is available.”
“I can't say enough good things about Surereal! She took such great care of my dog while I was away for a few days, and I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the entire time. From regular updates to making sure my dog’s routine stayed consistent, she went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Not only was my dog well taken care of, but Surereal; also showed genuine kindness and professionalism throughout the entire experience. It’s clear that she has a passion for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend was in great hands. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter, I highly recommend Surereal. I will absolutely be booking them again!”
“We LOVE Taylor (and so does our pup)!! Our dog fits right in with hers, she sends so many updates during his stay, and we know he’s in excellent hands every time we’re away. We plan to be repeat customers as long as she’ll have us!”
“The most caring person for my pet, she is super reliable, and goes beyond precautions, I had everyday updates from my girl and videos and pictures make my vacation away from my puppy way calmer and relaxed because I knew she was in the best place possible, treating her like I would. Definitely will take her there next time!! And my puppy gain a fun aunt!! Thank you Katie!!!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Shady Grove 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 Shady Grove 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 Grove.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shady Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Shady Grove 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
