“Wonderful dog sitter. Our 8 year old Labrador had a great time. Caroline kept us posted with photos and videos. Highly recommend. We will definitely use her again”
“Shirley & Lee took great care of our pups while we were away for the weekend. They have a great fenced in yard for the dogs to go out in and they were very communicative, sending pictures throughout the stay. We will definitely be booking them for future boarding!”
“Ramona was great with Cairo. Her and her daughter took great care of him and sent pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative and flexible. I highly recommend her services and I’ll book with her again.”
“I really enjoyed my experience with Corynne. She was absolutely AMAZING. Dropping my little guy off was like dropping off my child on the first day of daycare. I was never worried with Corynne as she kept me updated on everything. And Axel got along so well with little Woody. I definitely highly recommend Corynne and look forward to my next booking with her.”
“Allyson was FANTASTIC. She was so kind and gracious even when we had a later drop off than anticipated since we were driving from out of town. She kept us updated with photos and messages so we knew Cannoli was in the best hands. I would highly recommend Allyson to anyone looking to board their dog. There were a few other pups there and Cannoli came home tired and full of love!!! Thank you again, Allyson!!!”
“Loved RoseAnn!! My little Riley felt right at home immediately and was so calm when I picked him up! I don't think he was ready to come home yet, LOL! I know he was loved and well taken care of! Will defintely use her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my Frenchie, Hendrix! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’ll care for them just like they’re my own. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates throughout the day. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has two fenced-in grass dog parks, so whether your dog loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If you have a Frenchie or another wrinkle-faced pup, they’re in good hands! My apartment has pet stairs to all the furniture, and I always keep wrinkle wipes, wrinkle paste, nose balm, and other Frenchie essentials on hand to keep those ADORABLE squishy faces happy and healthy. FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING: All dogs must be up to date on their vaccines! My Frenchie, Hendrix, will be here too and I need to make sure he’s safe. Hendrix is incredibly friendly and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer to be the only dog, overnight boarding may not be the best fit—but I’m always happy to discuss other care options!🐾🩷 I work from home, and am only gone for a few hours in the afternoons on Tues-Thursday, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pup and give them the attention they need! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know how they’re doing, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for!
“I met Molly before Sebastian’s stay. She eased my initial reservations about leaving him w/ a stranger. I feel she really treated him as I would’ve. She sent many picture and video updates throughout ‘his vacation’. I highly recommend Molly and I’ll be contacting her next time I need a sitter.”
About: Give the best care for your dog- even if you are not around! I love all dogs. I value serving busy pet parents and I will treat your pet like my own. I live in the Savannah, GA and work remote from home! I have also cared for dogs most of my life. My experience: -Pet sat up to 3 dogs in a household and a cat -Multiple breeds; From mastiff to a toy poodle -Cared for my own chihuahua for 10 years - Overnight care -Registered Volunteer at Pawmetto Lifeline Shelter - Administred minor medications - References available I’m currently working remote so I have plenty of time to care for your pet as much as needed and give them quality time. In a clients home I focus on providing the dog with as much care and attention as I would my own dog, making sure the dog has all basic needs met and no chance of running out.
About: With 8 animals of my own and 4 years of experience as a kennel tech, I am confident I've seen it all! Reach out today! I am currently a student attending SCAD, so when I'm not in class pet care will be my top priority! As a film student, I am working on set most weekends, however during the week in between classes I am totally available. My schedule varies by the day, but I am absolutely confident we can talk and create a routine that you and your pet will feel good about! I really appreciate when clients tell me what kind of schedule their pets are used to. I like to do whatever is most comfortable and helpful to them and their owners. I like to be very by-the-book, I believe wholeheartedly the owner knows what’s best for their pet!
“Ashley was phenomenal! We dropped Wes off and he did not look back. After pickup he was absolutely exhausted (in a good way) but did not stop smiling for hours. We can tell he was very well loved while he was away from us. Ashley sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and we will definitely be keeping her on the top of our list for our upcoming trips!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals in my home 24/7. There has never been a time when I wasn’t surrounded by animals, playing with animals, or taking care of animals! I’ve been walking dogs for a couple years now, and dropping in to check on my neighbor’s and friend’s pets. Currently, I am college student who is looking for a flexible job that works well with my schooling schedule. I love to work with pets whenever I can in my free time. My schedule is incredibly flexible and great for one-time or weekly repeating clients! In my client’s home, I always make sure that the pets I am taking care of have enough food, water, attention and are safely inside before I leave. I always want to make sure that I am leaving the pet in a clean and safe environment as well, making sure that any messes are cleaned up, that the pets are picked up after, and that they have clean bowls if they manage to get dirty.
“Beth was terrific with my little girl! My dog is elderly, and she saw how concerned I was leaving her alone, so she was right on the ball and texted me how she was doing and even sent videos so I could see her. I definitely will ask her again to watch my dog when/if we ever take another little trip.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for 9 days while we were out of town unexpectedly. I received a quick acceptance of booking and received pictures of our Doodle bug throughout our time out of state. This is our 2nd time booking and would highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Thunderbolt is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thunderbolt
Marita was amazing from the start! She is an excellent communicator, accommodating, has a calming spirit and very welcoming! Our dogs are generally anxious, but she easily was able to calm them down and get them into her routine. Her backyard was absolutely perfect for the dogs and they were able to get plenty of exercise! When we picked Coco and Indi up, they were very excited, but have also continued to be more chill since bringing them home! We felt so comfortable and relaxed leaving our dogs with Marita for 12 days! Definitely would reach out to her in the future!
Cameron & Katie are the absolutely the best! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to watch over their pet. They have treat my new “foster fail -lol” puppy like his their one. They treat like family with love, attention and playfulness. Truly a lovely couple with warm hearts and compassionate caring!

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 Thunderbolt 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 Thunderbolt 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 Thunderbolt.
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 Thunderbolt. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Thunderbolt 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.
