“Friendly, cordial, and a great sitter for my older dog. Attentive to his needs and kept me up to date on how he was doing. Will absolutely go back next time we have to book.”
“Judith took such GOOD care of our fur baby!!! She went above and beyond. She sent frequent updates including pictures and videos, she gave our dog multiple baths because she was shedding, and she even got her some itch spray because she started itching while we were away. Judith was also very flexible with our needs before and during our dog’s stay. Can’t say enough great things and highly recommend!”

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!

“Jennifer was absolutely AMAZING! She communicated and sent so many pictures, and treated my baby as her own. My dog LOVED her and her family and had a blast. I will definitely be booking again soon! ❤️”
“My pups had so much fun playing out in the yard with Mary-Katherine's pups for a weekend! She established a very good system for meeting the other dogs that made me feel comfortable, especially because one of my dogs can be very nervous with new pups. I know they were well taken care of and they played so hard. They slept for most of the next two days after we picked them up!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I currently share my home with two wonderful cats and a pet snake, so I completely understand the unique daily routines, body language, and specialized care that different species require. I am deeply responsible and detail-oriented. I know how important it is to strictly follow feeding schedules, maintain clean environments, and provide the exact type of attention your pet prefers—whether that is high-energy play, patient socialization, or just peaceful company. I treat every animal with the same high level of safety and love that I give my own creatures at home. As a small business owner, I work from home and manage my own schedule. This gives me incredible daytime flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, administer timely medications, and give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day.

I treat your home with total respect, closely follow your security routines, and strictly adhere to all specific pet feeding and safety instructions. I provide a calm, highly organized, and safe environment. My own experience with sensitive cats and a reptile means I am hyper-aware of keeping spaces clean, temperature-controlled, and completely hazard-free for animals. Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority. As a responsible business owner, I am detail-oriented, highly dependable, and respectful of your home. I maintain a calm, clean, and hazard-free environment, ensuring your traditional or exotic pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while you are away.

97% of sitters in Shellman Bluff 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 Shellman Bluff 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 Shellman Bluff.
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 Shellman Bluff 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.

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.
