“Our Chocolate Lab spent the day with Marston and his 2 pups while we explored Savanna. This is my first experience using Rover and it is intimidating to leave our sweet Charlie with someone we do not know. I read his reviews and was confident I was making the right decision. Once we met him and his dogs I knew Charlie was in good hands. Charlie ran right in to party. He sent pictures of their adventures. Charlie came home exhausted. I highly recommend Marston.”
“Megan took care of my two dogs for the day. She was great. She responds to messages right away. The dogs looked comfortable when I left them and were tired out from their walk when I picked them up that evening. I would definitely have Megan watch the dogs again if I lived in Savannah.”
“Caroline was great from beginning to end. So communicative with pictures all throughout the day. I really appreciated that peace of mind when having to leave my dog with a stranger. She doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore. Grateful for her and her love of animals! Great spot with a great yard. I will use again as needed!”
“A very friendly and professional sitter I would recommend to anyone. She takes great care of my dog and has been reliable for pick ups when I have to be at work early in the mornings.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your pup loves long walks or likesnto lounge with some company, I’m happy to tailor my visits to your pet’s needs and routine. What Sets Me Apart: Flexible availability all summer Strong attention to detail and communication Calm, patient, and experienced with pets Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs I’m a high school teacher and will be on summer break starting May 23. With my flexible summer schedule, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for pets while families travel or need extra help during the day. I’ll be available for drop-ins, walks, or boarding throughout the week, and I look forward to giving your pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and careful to lock up securely, clean up after myself and your pet, and provide updates with photos and notes. If your pet is staying with me (boarding), they’ll have a quiet, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, affection, and playtime. I always keep pets on-leash during walks, avoid crowded or unsafe areas, and watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort. Your pet’s well-being matters deeply to me, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. At my apartment we have one Service animal Monarch, a German Shoahrd / lab mix. Monarch loves showing other dogs how to play with toys. And a Yorkie Terroer/ Chihuahua named Birdie that suffers from anxiety.
“Austin did a wonderful job watching my baby boy while I was at work. It was a long day and he made sure that he walked him enough. I’m glad my baby boy came home happy. Definitely will have Austin watch him in the future! Thanks again for your hospitality and kindness!!”
“Molly treated my dog Mia like an absolute queen! My boyfriend and I last minute decided to take a trip to Savannah and needed a sitter for a day. Molly responded quick! She let Mia bathe in her pool and come in and out of the house as she pleased. Would recommend her services!”
“Abby was so great with Lenny! Very welcoming and caring with all the doggos. Abby gave us a good tour of her dog sitting setup when we first arrived and provided us with updates while we were away.”
About: Something that sets me apart from other dog sitters is that I am able to take care of multiple kids and animals at the same time. The first job I had I took care of a pitbull, took care of the house, and children all at once. My one main love is animals. I love taking care of them no matter what. I believe they deserve a loving and caring environment when their owners are out and about. I love taking them on walks, playing with them, picking up after them, brushing them, and more! Pet care fits into my daily schedule well. I absolutely would drop anything to take care of an animal. My only conflict is that on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be taking classes for my college. For me, I always make sure to get the pet some sort of exercise during the day or the period of me being at the house. Such as, playing around or walking. I make sure the pet uses the restroom at least once while I'm there and I always make sure to pick up after them. If they are scheduled to be fed, I will feed them the correct amount of food instructed. Whatever the client asks me to do, I will make sure to do it before I leave after my shift.
About: I’m a warm-hearted animal lover with a deep connection to pets of all kinds. I’m also a Reiki Master, offering gentle energy work to help anxious or stressed pets feel calm and at ease. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible almost every day. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible — just send a message and we’ll figure out what works. I keep a calm, low-stress environment with no other dogs in the home, which is ideal for pets who are nervous around other animals or just prefer one-on-one attention. My backyard is fully fenced, so there’s plenty of room for safe play and bathroom breaks without worry.
About: I have had all sorts of pets my whole life: Dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, hamsters, turtles, frogs... I know how to listen to each animal's needs! I have trained my dogs and cats, and I take the time to get to know each pet. I currently work part-time from home, so I can keep an eye on the animals wherever and whenever in the house! I can stay up late for the animals or get up early to make sure they are good and comfortable. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced-in yard, perfect for animals to run around in. We have a lot of space in the house and have plenty of cozy spaces for the animals. We keep water out and keep the food safe until needed!
“Amara has been an amazing sitter for my 8 month old golden retriever! We had repeat visits for 2.5 weeks and our pup had the best time with her! She was always communicative, responsible, and gave our boy so much love. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again. :)”
“She is not only a wonderful person but from the moment I saw her, I could tell she was going to be trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone and if I’m ever in the area again I now know who I am leaving my dog with. :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thunderbolt
My pup LOVED his time with Frankie and Levy! We are so grateful that she agreed to take care of Parker for two days on a short notice. She sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated. We are already looking forward to our next trip in Savannah!
Jennifer helped us out at the last minute with our dog Maggie. She was VERY responsive, and she provided updates when I asked for them. Maggie appeared to have a good time with the other pups in the house. If we're ever back in this area and need a dog sitter, we'd use Jennifer again without hesitation! Many thanks to her for taking good care of Maggie, and at the last minute. This was our first time using Rover; it was such a great experience that we plan to use it again.
Shelby took great care of our fur babies—one of whom is aging with shaky back legs. We appreciated how that didn’t bother her one bit and she handled our old girl with care. It was raining buckets that night but Shelby has a nice fenced back yard and was able to take the dogs outside for their breaks despite the weather.
This was a last-minute trip. We arrived at Tybee Island and, since we had never taken Lalo to the beach, we had no idea that dogs were not allowed. We found ourselves in a tricky situation and didn’t know what we were going to do. However, Alejandra saved our lives when she sent us a message offering to take care of Lalo. Her help was invaluable and allowed us to enjoy our visit without worries.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Thunderbolt commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 281 sitters in Thunderbolt, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
