“Samantha shared updates and photos while we were away. She updated us on any concerns she had. It made us feel very comfortable that our Jazzy dog was in good hands. Would definitely book with again!”
“CINDY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! From day 1, Cindy communicated so well via the Rover app about my dog’s upcoming stay and could have not been more clear about what to expect. I had never used the Rover app before so I was a bit hesitant, but Cindy exceeded my expectations. My sweet Wren was taken care of so well and loved by Cindy and even got to make some new furry friends throughout the week. I received daily photos from Cindy which was so thoughtful and she even let Wren sleep in her bed. HIGHLY recommend Cindy!!”
“Austin was by far the best Rover experience I’ve had. My dog was slap tired after all the fun outings around Savannah. You can tell he gives the dogs he cares for lots of love and attention.”
“just an amazing person with such a beautiful heart. she took her time to listen and her replies were always full of understanding. she communicates super well. My son has an ESA cat and Kiara was patient with him and reassuring. All while taking awesome care of the cat!”
“Michelle was very friendly and provided daily updates with pictures of my 7yr old lab, Ozzie. She took great care of him like he was her own. Would definitely board with Michelle again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Sidney! A lifelong animal lover with more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. My own little family includes 1 dog and 3 cats, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and special-needs cats, and I’m experienced in providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s comfort level and routine. Whether your pet needs a slower-paced walk, extra encouragement, medication support, or mobility accommodations, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else’s pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pay close attention to leash safety, body language, routines, and individual needs. I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. Walks are one of my favorite parts of pet care! Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed neighborhood stroll, a sniff-filled adventure, or a more active outing, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve at a pace that’s right for them. I’d love to get to know you and your pets and create a care routine that keeps them happy, healthy, and comfortable! I currently work part-time, and I'm usually home around 3-4 pm for all of your dogs' evening needs. I work downtown, which allows me to walk to your home as soon as I'm off work. I love going on hot girl walks with my own pup and would enjoy meeting and becoming BFFs with your dogs so we can go on all the hot girl walks together! I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or lots of cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Michelle was above and beyond with our 3 babies! So nice to know they are well taken care of and safe while I’m away. Will definitely work with again! Thank you thank you!!”
“Frankie and Charlie had such a wonderful time with Kristin and her family! She was always sending photos and updates on how my boys were doing. Made me feel confident that they were safe and well taken care of. Could not recommend enough. Will be booking with her anytime I need a sitter!!”

I love animals and look forward to bonding with new pets I am able to watch from friday - sunday along with all major holidays. If there is a long strip in the christmas/thanksgiving holidays. i will also make arrangements to be able to be work from home if needed. The pets will be constantly taken care of, they will not be left alone, will follow all instructions as well as playtime will be always included with bonding times. The dogs happiness is the most important.
“This was our first time using Rover and very much lucked out with Sarah. Her and her doggy crew gave our high energy GSP the greatest time! It’s great that Sarah is very responsive and sends lots of pics. Will definitely be using again for future trips. Thank you again, Sarah!”
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!
“Teddy had the BEST time with Ashley and her family. They took daily walks to the park, played outside, and even stopped by for a pup cup! I received beautiful pictures, videos and reports daily from Ashley, always keeping me informed of how my little guy was doing. She gave lots of snuggles and cuddles to my little guy and treated him as if he were her own. When I picked up Teddy, she gave him the cutest goodie bag filled with a doggie toy and a beautiful laminated portrait of Teddy for me to hang on my refrigerator. She is so personable and kind and am excited to have found her for my next journey away! Thanks Ashley! You truly are the best! You made my time taking my sweet daughter to college much less stressful. I appreciate you ?”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently have one dog here in savannah named Pax, and have raised and cared for my two childhood dogs, Buddy and Brownie, along with occasional sitting for my aunts three legged disabled dog named Wags, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines, behavior, and long-term care. I also have taken care of a cat full time for a year so I have experience with cats as well. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure every animal feels safe and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their individual needs, whether they’re energetic or more relaxed. I’m currently a student at SCAD, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available on weekends and weekdays before or after my classes, with lots of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for cats as well. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine, and I always follow owner instructions carefully. I can crate if needed, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and happy.
“Emely was great and took good care of our Clementine. I appreciate her patience and care since Clementine is older and was a bit nervous. Thank you Emely for helping us have a nice evening knowing Clemi was safe.”
“My apologies for taking this long to make a review, but here we go! I can’t thank Miss Tressa enough for taking such good care of my baby Taz! He stayed with her for two days and was so happy and well loved. He had fun playing with her dog, and I appreciated the videos and open communication the whole time. I’m gaining more and more trust in her because Taz was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking again—thank you, Miss Tressa!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was thirteen and am a very dedicated Pre-Vet major. This background gives me an excellent understanding of animal behavior, health, and specialized care. I love applying my passion to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family! When I am not in class, I am always at my campus apartment. Aside from class time, I have plenty of availability to focus on your pet. For added peace of mind, there is another wonderful pet sitter living in my home who can assist in case of any emergency! Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priorities. While I do have a class schedule, my top focus outside of those hours is aligning perfectly with your pet's normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable, relaxed, and fully supervised within my home. I am more than happy to adapt to whatever feeding, walking, and care schedule makes your animal feel safest and happiest.

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.
