“I am very pleased with the love and care Monica gave Tucker. I was very nervous about leaving him anywhere because I never had, but he was happy and taken care of. She sent me pictures of him and I really did appreciate getting them!”

“Amy is amazing! She cared for our senior boxer for several days while we went on vacation. No doubt he received the best care and attention. Lots of cuddles, spoiling and love. ❤️ It is obvious how much she cares for dogs with how well she has her home set up to welcome and care for them. She sent us a lot of photos and updates while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

About: As a proud dog mom to my own 1-year-old fur baby, I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. Our pets are truly part of the family, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to know they are with someone who will give them plenty of love, attention, and care. I absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities! One of my biggest strengths is patience. Having a young dog of my own has definitely taught me that every pup has their own personality, habits, energy level, and way of communicating. I’m comfortable with younger dogs who may need a little extra patience, frequent potty breaks, playtime, redirection, or consistency with their normal routine. I believe in creating a comfortable and positive environment where dogs can relax, have fun, and feel at home. I also work from home full-time and am a student, so I spend a lot of time at home throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and, of course, lots of cuddles and belly rubs! Your pup won’t simply be left alone for long periods while staying with me. I know every pet parent has their own preferences and every dog has their own routine, so I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, favorite toys, treats, or other routines that help your fur baby feel comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine! I work from home full-time and am also a student, so I spend the majority of my day at home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your fur baby with attention throughout the day rather than having them home alone for long periods of time. Since I have a 1-year-old pup of my own, my daily routine already includes regular potty breaks, feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Adding another furry friend into our routine is something I can easily accommodate and would genuinely enjoy! Because I’m home throughout the day, I can also be flexible with each pet’s individual schedule. Whether your pup needs more frequent potty breaks, scheduled meals, extra playtime, walks, or simply wants someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. My goal is to make their stay feel as close to home as possible while keeping their normal routine consistent and making sure they get plenty of cuddles along the way! 🐾❤️ Your fur baby’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their baby will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. In my home, I provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets can relax and feel like part of the family. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pets in my care, provide frequent potty breaks, and make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have a friendly 1-year-old fur baby of my own, so I understand the importance of proper introductions, supervision, and allowing each dog the time and space they need to become comfortable. I know that every dog is different, so I always want to learn about your pup’s personality, routine, boundaries, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before their stay. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping preferences, and house rules to help make the transition as easy and stress-free as possible. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will treat both your fur baby and your home with care and respect. I’ll follow all instructions closely and do my best to maintain the routine your pet already knows and loves. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates and plenty of cute pictures so you can see that your fur baby is safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time with me!

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just watch dogs — I care for them. I’m very attentive to their routines, their energy, and what makes them feel safe. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and gentle with senior dogs who need extra love and understanding. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and truly cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I plan my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they get consistent attention, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest. I’m home and present, so your pet isn’t left alone for long periods. Caring for dogs is something I intentionally make time for, not something I squeeze in. Safety, trust & environment How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer.

“Arnelia was great with my dogs! She sent many photos and videos, and she ensured they were comfortable playing with the other dogs in the home before allowing them to run around together. We also had a meet-and-greet prior to their stay, which was helpful to ensure it would be a good fit. She has a wonderful fenced yard for the dogs to run in that she keeps well maintained. Arnelia provides training and grooming during their stay and was able to quickly pick up on their training needs. The dogs seemed very happy while they were there. I look forward to working with Arnelia again!”

About: I love caring for all pets and making sure they feel loved and to alleviate any stress they feel when their owner is away. As I know that my own pets love having a caring person with them when we travel and they are not with us. I strive to provide the same level of care for each pet I care for, as well. I work for myself and set my own schedule at this time. So, unless I am traveling or already booked I can be flexible to adjust my schedule with sufficient notice. Currently, I offer in-home care directly, so your pet feels most at home, at ease, and comforted by being in familiar surroundings. You can trust that I will be there to provide your pet with the best care, giving them the attention and love they need so that they won't feel distressed while you're away. I can work with puppies to senior dogs and kittens to older cats as well. I'm happy to meet with you and your pets in advance of booking to ensure we're a good fit for each other.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - The Rock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across The Rock. 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.

97% of sitters in The Rock 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 The Rock 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 The Rock.

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 The Rock. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 The Rock 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.
