“This was my puppy’s first time away from me and she was very shy and probably nervous. Judith was so sweet and understanding with her. She was constantly communicating with me and sending pictures and videos. This was also my first experience with Rover and it was a great one.”
“Absolutely amazing! She was super sweet and sent pictures of my Golden Doodles while with her. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off. I absolutely recommend, when we need a dog sitter again we will be using her.”
“Debra was amazing! She was very communicative the whole time and our dog loved staying with her. She even taught him a new trick! 10/10 will be calling her when we need a sitter in the future 🥰”
“Incredible sitter!! Her kitty got so well along with mine, they had a great time. Sent photos and was very understanding and so kind. Took care of my kitty very well. She really enjoyed her time there!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Madeline is very kind. She responded quickly from the start and always kept in touch. She sent me photos and updates daily. My dog felt very comfortable in her warmth. Thank you so much 🤍”
“Once again, we had an amazing experience with Christian and family. Leo was taken great care of and the updates on his well-being were unexpected and very thoughtful. Thank you guys for always being great with our doggie ♥️”

“This was our second time booking with Vanya, the first was daycare and this time was boarding and my pup definitely seemed to enjoy his stay! We got pictures and updates everyday and we will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve raised two dogs as puppies and have extensive experience in training them. My current dog, Penny, is a rescue and loves to run around and play outside. I make sure to provide attentive supervision so the dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home full-time so I have plenty of opportunities to let the dogs out throughout the day for potty breaks or play time. Weather permitting, we take long walks each morning after breakfast, and at night after dinner. I have a fenced in yard so my dog spends a lot of time outside running around or just hanging out. I also have a large screened in porch when she needs a break from the sun. Penny sleeps in my office (her room) next to the bedroom which is where other dogs would sleep as well. I don’t allow dogs on furniture or sleep in the bed.

I currently work a full time 8-5 M-F but I am available after 5pm and open availability on Saturday & Sunday to devote you your furry family member. I have a huge fenced in back yard , 4 furry friends your pets can play with. I also will provide food , water and plenty of play time for your furry friends . If special accommodations are needed I have no issues going the extra mile ! They deserve it !
“Carlie was so great with our dog Beau. She made sure to send us a ton of updates and was so on it with everything Beau needed. We plan to continue using Carlie as this was such a great experience. Highly highly recommend!”
“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! ❤️”
“Best experience I’ve had on Rover!! Crystal and her family watched our dog Timber for a week and I couldn’t have been happier with the level of care they provided! She sent updates daily with plenty of photos. Timber looked just as comfortable as he did in our own home. She made sure he was well exercised and assured us he would spend little to no time alone. I will definitely reach out to Crystal again the next time I need someone to watch Timber.”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job of taking care of our puppy and accommodating us last minute. She responded quickly and was very informative! I'm so happy we have found her. We will, without a doubt, continue to utilize her services. An added bonus, she has 2 dogs so it was nice that Duke was able to socialize and learn from the others! Lol”
“Melanie took great care of snoop. He got plenty of walks and cuddles. She kept me informed every day while we were gone with pictures. He even enjoyed spending time with her dog tito.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 179 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shellman Bluff. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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. 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.
