Anita was wonderful! We only left him for the day. But our boy had a great time. He was loved on by Anita’s babies and got a nice walk in. He enjoyed his time with them.

We hit the jackpot with Riley. She is truly a gem. Riley is very personable and clearly loves all critters. We knew from the meet n' greet that our Daisy would be in good hands. Daisy is our only dog so I wasn't sure how she would be with Ryder but he is a marshmallow, a sweet gentle giant. Ryder is the perfect doggie good will ambassador. Riley's home is perfectly suited with a big fenced yard, lots of outdoor space, and great folk on the inside. :) She sent us pictures every day to ease our doggie withdrawal. I never had a moment's worry about Daisy, and Riley even had her spruced up with a bow and a daisy on her collar when we picked her up! Whenever we need Daisy looked after again, Riley will be our first, second, and third choice. :) Riley, don't go anywhere!

Gingi was the perfect person to watch my dogs for a week while I was out of town. Her calm attitude put my dogs (and my anxiety) right at ease. I was able to meet beforehand and let my dogs get to know her and her home. Her home is great, with a big fenced yard. My dogs loved her lounge chair on the back porch. She sent pictures, videos, and messages everyday to show how well they were doing. I definitely recommend her if you need any dogsitting or boarding, and I will definitely let my dogs stay with her if I need to go out of town soon! Thank you Gingi!!

This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous about having someone outside our family to watch my girls especially since it was to be a 5 night stay. I had several Meet and Greets with 4 different people ahead of time and ended up loving me some Brittany! She's such a sweetheart and I could tell immediately she and her hubby loved dogs. Their relaxed home and living environment gave the girls freedom to roam and perfect for them to chill (I was worried about them being nervous). Their nice sized fenced yard and even an extra room for their "quiet time" (I have an older doxy and she can be a bit temperamental at times) were great as well. All that with the updates and pics Brittany sent me I never worried a minute about them. ----- I will no doubt use them again! ----- Thanks Brittany!

We just returned from a week's vacation in Florida and Stacy cared for our two shih tzus for the week. I can't say enough good things about our experience with her! This was our first time using rover.com so we weren't sure quite what to expect, and we were naturally a bit anxious leaving our fur babies. Stacy put us at ease right away. We had a meet and greet so the dogs could warm up to their new environment and meet Stacy's pets as well. When we dropped them off, I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Stacy administered meds to one of our dogs daily, and provided us with pictures, videos, and email updates several times a day. She even gave them baths! More than anything, we felt like she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs the same way we would, and that is very hard to find. We will definitely use her services again in the future. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Valeria had our two timid babies for 5 days. This was the first time leaving them, but they did great. They enjoyed the fenced yard and that freedom as well as her kids. She kept in touch and sent pictures, and never made me feel like I was bothering her. :) We are already planning to utilize her again for a trip later in the year.

About: With eight years of experience, I specialize in personalized care for a wide range of animals, including reptiles and livestock. I am skilled in working with animals of all ages, administering medications, and providing extra care for those with special needs. I am currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule. Because of this, I am free throughout the week, only needing to leave your pet to attend classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I maintain their routines, provide attentive care, and create a calm environment to ensure they feel secure while their owner is away.

Russel is amazing! Bacon stayed with Russel for 4 days vs and one of those days we picked him up for a quick doggy play date. When we returned Bacon was ecstatic to see Russel again! Russel even had him dressed in the Jammie’s we brought for him on a cold morning. Russel went above & beyond & that was very clear. Russel is quick to respond & sends lots of pictures!

Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!

Carolina was absolutely wonderful! I needed a last-minute boarding reservation, and she responded quickly and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Throughout my dogs' stay, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like they were her own. When I picked them up, they were happy, well cared for, and had obviously received lots of attention. I highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsive dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

Avery is a real dog lover and took great care of our dog Milo. Milo is very particular with his caretakers, but warmed right up to Avery. We received daily status updates with photos and felt secure knowing he was being well taken care of. We'll definitely use Avery in the future to watch Milo.

FAQs for Boarding - Watkinsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Watkinsville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 434 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Watkinsville. About 93% of Watkinsville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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 pet, 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
