“LOVE HER!!! We left our mini australian shepherd with Kenzie for a week while we went on vacation. I was really nervous because he can be timid of new people and is also extremely active. I couldn't have been more pleased with Kenzie. Apollo took to her right away (which he has NEVER done with a new person). She sent lots of pictures and videos and was quick to respond any time I checked in. When I picked him up everything was well kept and I could tell he had the best time! I will definitely use her any time we need a sitter. She was great!”
“My dog Paris seemed very happy in Ms Lori P.’s care. She shared a picture and gave me updates. She also was quick to ask me questions about Paris’ behaviors. I really appreciate her doing that.”
“Mali had a wonderful time! She even worked with socializing her with other dogs - she doesn't bark at them anymore! Thank you for taking good care of my baby!! 🙏🏽❤️”
“Langston was awesome with our boy Buddha (170lb Boerboel). Unfortunately a few days before Buddha was scheduled to have his visit with Langston, our boy had an allergic reaction which caused us to change his food along with an ear infection. Langston was diligent in the cleaning of his ears and with updating us with regards to his stomach/ stool condition. His attentiveness and care for our boy is more than enough of a reason to use him again for any of our boarding needs. I definitely recommend him!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! My pup was welcomed like family, and the communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. I felt completely at ease and will definitely book again!”
“Here's a review you can use: Lizdalia was amazing with my doggies! She provided daily updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and they were so happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Kayla cared for Milo in the same way I would. She was attentive and caring and kept him busy all weekend long! I genuinely appreciated the pictures and videos, keeping me and my mind at peace, as this was my first time using the app. I look forward to Milo spending more time with her in the future and would 100% recommend Kayla🤍”
“Shakeria was absolutely AMAZING! I’ve struggled to find someone new for my dogs and she was everything plus more. I received daily updates and had no worries the entire time they were with her. They seemed like they were on vacation! My parents actually left their dogs with her too (who are very particular about who they’re with, might I add) and they loved her too!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will 100% be a new consistent client. If anyone is ever worried about her only having a few reviews, please believe it is only because she is just starting in the area. She is nothing short of amazing and I guarantee your fur babies will be in great hands. I look forward to utilizing your services again in the near future!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review Aja was absolutely amazing! My miniature poodle, Coda, was in great hands from the moment I dropped him off. Aja kept me updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her communication and attentiveness were outstanding! I will definitely be booking with Aja again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby. Five stars all the way! 🐩❤️”
“10/10 would recommend!! Very good sitter, communication was great. Very accommodating for early flights and reservations. My puppy loved her stay. Thank you”
“Soel was an excellent dog sitter. He took great care of my dog Alaska, and she came back happy and relaxed. He has a nice backyard where she could roam and play with other dogs, which made a big difference. I’d definitely trust him with her again.”
“Susan is the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Our dog received the best care we could ever ask for. I highly recommend Susan she is dedicated, caring and loves taking care of pets. Anyone needed a pet sitter can be assure they will be love. Thank you Susan it was a stress free weekend, it was so important to us that our dog would be loved.”
“Petra cared for my fur baby while I was in the hospital. I never worried about how he was doing. Petra sent plenty of pictures and updates. She gave him love and cuddles. I will definitely use Petra again.”
“She was absolutely fabulous with our pet and took such great care of him. He got lots of walks, plenty of attention, and was clearly happy and comfortable the entire time. She is very personable, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
