“Our senior dog, Maggie, loved her stay with Laura and her family. Laura sent us pictures and kept us informed on how Maggie was doing with her. I would definitely use Laura again! Maggie felt like she was on a vacation!”

“Licia and Pete are a sweet couple that you can feel comfortable leaving your dog with. They have a nice, small fenced area for my Mogey to roam, as many walks with Pete as he wants, and pettings galore from Licia but his favorite thing was to hang on their back deck. We have been looking for someone as a permanent sitter solution and will be using them again.”

“We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Toni! She watched my mother-in-law’s sweet dog, Marigold, for about a month while my mother-in-law traveled to stay with us and help welcome our second baby. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Marigold while she was away! Toni is such a genuinely kind and caring person, and it’s so clear how much she truly loves animals. She took Marigold on multiple walks every day, kept us updated with daily messages and photos, and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. It gave our whole family so much peace of mind knowing Marigold was in such loving hands during such a special and busy time. Toni truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found her! We would absolutely love to use her again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️”

“Tracy was amazing with our doggy son! We have always left him with the same sitter for the last 5 years but she was not available for the week we had to go on vacation. We were so relieved he was taken care of with the BEST treatment and love there was to give as she sent pictures and videos the whole trip!”

“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter. I left my dog Roxie with her for her first Rover experience and Taylor totally put my mind at ease. She sent plenty of photos and welcomed Roxie into her home with lots of love and care. She had so much fun playing with her dog, going on walks and taking naps. I will definitely reach out Taylor in the future when Roxie needs a sitter. I highly recommend her. Thanks Taylor for making Roxie’s stay so safe and happy.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other pets. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, responsibility, and kindness are when caring for someone’s pet. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing with, and spending quality time with animals, as well as keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I want to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a university student working toward my bachelor’s degrees and I also work as a caregiver for older adults. My schedule can be busy, but I’m good at planning ahead and making time for pet care. I’m generally available around my school and work schedule, especially for walks, drop-ins, and spending time with pets. I’m also active and enjoy hiking and being outdoors, so I’d be happy to give dogs some extra exercise and playtime! I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and playtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and will keep owners updated so they know how their pets are doing. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: Howdy! My love for animals is ever growing! I have a few fur babies of my own, but I’m so excited to get to hang with the pets within my community! I’ve cared for a large range of animals- from brand new babes to old farts- cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, chickens, ducks, horses, goats, pigs, fish, etc! I currently have open availability! I’m in a transition period for my seasonal jobs, which means more time for adventures and cuddles with your pets! Regarding pups- I have one sweetie ole girl at home. If caring for the pets in my space, I like to do a pre-sit meeting to make sure they get along beforehand. (If that doesn’t work I can always keep them separated during the stay). We have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for the zoomies! & a few acres around us to roam if they have good recall. Regarding most other animals- would be happy to come to your place and follow your routine!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sky Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 62 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sky Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

98% of sitters in Sky Valley 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 Sky Valley 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 Sky Valley.

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 Sky Valley. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 Sky Valley 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.
