“Her professionalism, kindness and with how big the smile on my pupper’s face is whenever he is over there. No words can describe the positive experience that we’ve had with Jessica 👍 can easilt recommend booking.”
“I can’t say it enough, Shayla is amazing! We left the country for the week and never once worried about our pup Stella. She always has a great time playing and is exhausted when she comes home. Shayla is great about keeping us updated and sending pictures which we really appreciate. She takes care of Stella like she’s one of her own.”
“Maria did an outstanding job with my fur baby. I was sent pictures in the morning and evening with an update. Maria is very kind with a positive energy ☺️. Thank you for everything!”
“Sheri was amazing! She treated my dogs as her own. She sent me daily updates/pictures of my babies. Communication was 10/10. Kora and Obi love her so much & we will definitely be using her again!!”
“Katelyn did such amazing job with my pup. I was nervous he would be too much but nope they accepted him, even with all this energy. Loved the pictures and videos she sent and honestly I didn’t have to worry at all because he was having more fun than we did in vacation. Thank you so much Katelyn!!”
“This was Ollie’s first time staying somewhere else overnight, so I was a little nervous. Leigh took Ollie in as her very own. She had us come over to meet her fur babies to make sure all of them got along before booking, which put my mind at ease knowing that they would get along. I got pictures and updates of Ollie everyday, and he looked to be having a blast! Leigh was willing to make sleeping adjustments for him to make sure he was as comfortable as possible. I will definitely keep Leigh in mind again when in need of a dog sitter or boarder!”
“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 🤍”
“Oliver looked like he had a blast, I know this from the daily photo and verbal updates during his stay. He was even a little sad to be leaving his new friends. Cristina was willing to be flexible with my schedule and I would definitely have Oliver stay with her again.”
“This is my second booking with Brydget and won't be my last. She was available last minute which was a great help for me. I know my dog is in good hands at her house. I would reccommend her to anyone needing this service.”
“Maria and her family loved my dog, Poppi, like their own! She was able to watch her last minute for me and was very responsive and friendly. She sent the cutest updates and Poppi was sad to leave! Will definitely be using Maria again soon ❤️🐶”
“I genuinely wouldn’t leave my dog Larry with anyone else. RoseAnn is amazing, so kind and understanding and is clearly so great with animals. Larry loves staying with her, she sent updates on how he was doing, and while I am always very uneasy leaving Larry when I go away on vacations, the second I got to her house to drop him, I was so at ease, because I remembered how well he was taken care of last time. Thank you so much RoseAnn, genuinely so grateful!”
“Qinrong and her family were great! I rarely asked for an update because I received pictures and updates all throughout the day every day. The environment was clean, and everyone was friendly. I was really comfortable with the care that Eli received. I definitely would rebook with Qinrong.”
“Thank you for watching Mia and being accommodating so quickly and taking care of her for the day!!! Tressa was nice and had a great place for my dog to stay with fenced in back yard!”
“Gen was wonderful from start to finish. She is great at communication, has the perfect home and yard, sent pics and updates while we were away, and wasn't bothered by our Birdy's extreme excitement when she first got there. I would definitely love to book her again the next time we go out of town.”
“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 🥰”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Southward 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 Southward.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Southward 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.
