“Thank you so much for taking great care of Hans. We immediately felt like he was welcomed into your home! Your daily reports and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Hans was having a great vacation of his own. We can tell that you guys are dog people because of the great care that Hans received. In the future, we won't have to worry about leaving town because we know that Hans will be in awesome hands. Thanks so much!”
About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Katie did an excellent job providing doggy daycare services for Maximus. She is a great communicator, very responsive, and kept me comfortable throughout the process. It is clear that she is truly passionate about dogs and genuinely loves caring for them. Her dog Louie is also very sweet, which made the experience even better. Katie has a beautiful fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and dog-loving to watch their pup.”
“Jennifer was great and had a wonderful interview / acclamation process. Our two dogs got along well with her dog and it was an awesome day for everyone involved! Definitely recommended!”
“Jan and her family took such great care of Bentley and Celine! Jan sent so many pics and videos and my fur babies were only there for the day. Some sitters don’t send any pics the entire weekend. So I appreciate the attention to detail and the care provided! I also enjoyed the cute stories she provided as well! ☺️ I will definitely be booking again when I need a sitter! Thanks again!”
“Ranesha was very flexible with hours for in-home doggy daycare. Attentive and sent me pictures throughout the day! Kept Nala busy with multiple walks throughout the day. I will definitely be using her in the future, if need be!”
“Lizdalia is an amazing host for Joey. He had a great experience the two times we used her services and we a looking forward to another great overnight care for Joey this coming weekend. Thanks Lizdalia - 5 Star Reciew⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Guinness did very well & Karmen really put our minds at ease about leaving him with her during surgery. She has a good set up for pets, is responsive and loves animals! We plan to use her again the future.”
About: I recently lost my doggy friend of 11 years. I have experience with elderly and sickly pups. I will handle your pup with the same care that I took care of mine. I work from home full time, so I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and walks if required. We have a large back yard that is fenced in for play as well. I have a fenced back yard. We just have a 12 year old that visits for the summer once a year. I am able to travel and care for your pets in your home as well if that is more comfortable.
“Sitka enjoyed his stay, I could tell in the photos and videos that you sent. This was my first ever pet sitter experience, and I don’t mind saying that I was anxious to leave my newly rescued fur baby. I am now feeling as if I found not only a great experience for him to socialize with other dogs, even more importantly, he and I have gained a new friend. Thank you Amanda.. we will be seeing you again!”
“Adrienne was a wonderful fit for my Stella! They spent all day together and she sent me pictures of her through out the day. I will definitely be using Adrienne again to take care of Stella :)”
“I absolutely love Aubrey. I found her here thanks to Rover, read her profile and knew she’d be perfect for my pup with her experience with the boxer breed. I had a last minute emergency and needed boarding as soon as possible, luckily Aubrey was ready and willing. Though I needed her services longer than anticipated, she was there through it all. She had my pup for about a week and took such great care of him. I’ll be calling Aubrey as long as her services are available, my boxer Rolo adores her and her family of boxers.”

Jennifer was the best! She and her family loved on Pax like he was part of the family, too. Pax even went to football practice with them and had a great time letting the team mates love on him, too. I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely be letting Pax stay with her and her family again. 🐾🐾❤️❤️

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 Shady Grove 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 523 sitters in Shady Grove, 89% 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.
