“Lots of great communication with Mackenzie! She sent lots of pictures every day! Very sweet lady. She let out dogs sleep in bed with her every night which is a big treat for them. Will definitely use her again if the occasion presents itself!”
“Cynthia and her husband were amazing. Kept us up to date, and we’re available to us even at the last minute. They took great care of our dogs and have a very amazing pup themselves. My pups came back happy energetic. Great communication and fast replies.”
“Leann was amazing with our dog, Kaia! This was Kaia’s first time boarding and Leann was caring, attentive, and made sure Kaia felt loved and comfortable the whole time. She gave us constant updates so we had no worries about our fur baby. We could tell Kaia was happy and well taken care of — we’re so grateful for her help and recommend her to anyone looking to board their baby! And we will definitely book her for any future trips!”
“Boarding your dog with Lisa is unlike most sitters you'll find on Rover. While I have no doubt everyone on here loves dogs, Lisa has the advantage of huge piece of land and other dogs to play with. For me this was perfect since Ox is full of energy and grew up in a pack. Highly recommended if this sounds appealing to you and your doggies.”
About: I provide dependable, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and I'm committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages during every visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits whenever possible. I understand the importance of consistency and will work to maintain your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and comfortable. Your pet's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household guidelines provided by each pet owner. I take time to build trust with every pet, ensuring they feel calm and secure while you're away. I maintain a clean, fenced, safe environment, monitor for any signs of illness or distress, and communicate promptly if I have any concerns. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Marlie was absolutely magnificent! She communicated with me well, sent me pictures and kept in touch as she promised. I am a professional dog trainer, so I am probably more particular about who I leave my dogs with. I was hesitant about leaving my girl with such a young person (not meaning that she doesn’t know dogs), but she exhibited great care and maturity in the care and communications expected. Great job, Marlie! We’ll be back! Love, Hoka🐾”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waycross on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 14 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waycross. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waycross 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 Waycross.
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.
You and your Waycross 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.
