“Heather and family were very accommodating. They worked with us on varying time frames, and Shadow seemed to settle in very well. He also enjoyed the company of another dog in the house. We will definitely use this family again if they are available.”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Sandra and Brett are amazing! They came to my rescue and watch Sam at the very last minute and I never saw Sam so relaxed and having fun. Thank you for helping us and if you’re lucky enough to get Sandra and Brett to watch your pet dog you will be a very lucky family”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”
“Gabrielle did great with my dogs Bentley and Roxy. It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but she sent me pictures of my pups everyday which helped me feel better being away from them. If I need someone to take care of my dogs again, I will definitely reach out to Gabrielle.”
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and potty breaks. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide close supervision, keep doors and gates secure, and carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions. I can also separate pets during meals or rest time when needed.
“We left our big Hovawart Ben in good hands for 10 days! I am sure he had a good time in his temporary home, looked happy when we picked him up. He would definitely come back again! Communication was perfect with Mary Katheirne, thank you!!”
“Lena loved staying with Holly and came back happy and exhausted. Holly was very responsive to all messages both before and during the stay. She responded to our initial request almost instantly. She was also incredibly accommodating to our schedule and was understanding when we were delayed at the airport (from which Holly is conveniently located). We would definitely book again.”
“Ashley did a great job watching our Australian shepherd Loki and our cat Ronaldo Moon. We received pictures and updates throughout the weekend to offset how much we missed them. Drop off and pick up at her house was also seamless and her two greyhounds Digby and Tony were so sweet to both of our animals! They were sad to go and will definitely be back!”

About: Hi! I’m Natalie, and I would HAPPILY turn into John Wick for both my pet and yours!! ••• I have a 7yo Chihuahua son, Peanut, who I am an extreme helicopter parent over. I’m constantly checking up on him, researching what he can/can’t eat, asking his sitter for a million pics and updates, etc. Because of that, I COMPLETELY understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. ••• I’ve cared for farm animals, cats, and dogs ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I’ve also been pet sitting on and off for over 5 years for friends and family and have experience with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. ••• I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility VERY seriously. My love of animals, watchful eye, and reliability are what I believe make me a great sitter. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a strict routine, or just someone to chill with, I’ve got it all covered and will update you as often as you’d like! ••• I look forward to meeting you and hope to bring you peace of mind while providing secret service level care for your fur babies! I have full availability for pet sitting, at any time, for most of the summer. I am starting a full time job in September, so that gives me a lot of free time to care for pets during the week and on weekends! I’d care for pets as if they were my own! Always keeping a watchful eye on them making sure they’re safe and giving them all the attention/pets to keep them happy (or all the space they need for the introverts, lol!).
“Melanie was great and so helpful to take my pup for boarding - it was a last minute request and my travel schedule changed frequently. Melanie was flexible with her schedule to handle the changes to my travel schedule. Melanie had an extra dog bed, toys and her dog for my pup to play with. Instant love!”
“Staci was so great with our pup. She kept us up to date all week with great reports. I would highly recommend her. We’ll for sure she if she’s available if we come back in town.”
“Lisa is so sweet and kind. My dog absolutely loved staying with her-usually, she runs to the door when I pick her up, but this time, she ran straight to Lisa. When my plans changed last minute, Lisa was very understanding and gracious. If I lived in the area I would definitely book Lisa again!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 63 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waynesville. 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 Waynesville 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 Waynesville.
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 Waynesville 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.
