“Sheila took really great care of our dog, Billy. She was friendly, communicative and gave him lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“Sherry and her husband Andreas took such good care of my baby. He was a little anxious the first night but they were so patient with him. I will definitely use them again. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Mollie was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever! He had such a great time and it was clear that she truly welcomed him into her family and made him feel right at home. We really appreciated the picture updates while we were away, and they gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, we could tell that he had very little anxiety being away from us, which says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for he was. We’re so grateful to Mollie and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Buster had a great time at Lacey’s. He immediately connected with her and her adorable Noosha (and even Hillary the cat!). Both Buster and I immediately felt a sense of safety and calm in her space. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
“Noreen and Seal have a very special bond. He never wants to leave her side when he spends time with her! I appreciate all the updates she sends me to let me know he’s safe and happy :)”
“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”
“Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Justin and Athena are probably the best sitters I’ve found on Rover. They constantly sent updates and pictures everyday. Cookie was super happy and safe. They even washed Cookie the day before returning. Highly recommend!”
“I had such a great experience! He took amazing care of Mia and treated her like she was his own. 🐾💕 He kept me updated with pictures and videos, which made me feel so comfortable knowing she was happy and in good hands. He was very caring, attentive, and responsible, and Mia looked like she was having the best time! I will definitely be continuing to book with him whenever I need someone to care for Mia. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sylwia was amazing with Pico and Ziggy! She sent tons of updates of them playing and going on walks. They loved her large back yard! I’m sure they’re already looking forward to staying with her again sometime. Thank you again!”
“Salud did such a great job with our elderly dog. Even though Maggie isn't very mobile, Salud still made sure to give her some outdoor time. Maggie seemed in better spirits when we picked her up than when we dropped her off.”
“Carmen was Amazing with our weimwarner Hazel. She sent us updates daily with pictures on their outings. She took Hazel out on numerous walks each day. Hazel seemed to enjoy herself very much. I will definitely use Carmen again. Thank you Carmen for taking such good care of Hazel. Kathy”
“Shiyibin took excellent care of our young kitty while we were in transition and moving. She was so careful with her needs and really understands cats so well. We were so incredibly grateful for her love and care of our girl during this difficult time for us.”
“Laura has been watching my dogs, Chewy and Tori, and I’m starting to think they like her more than they like me. She’s super chill, incredibly kind, and clearly loves animals—maybe a little too much (kidding, but not really). Every time I pick the dogs up, they look at me like, “Do we have to go home?” She keeps me updated, is super easy to work with, and makes the whole process stress-free. Honestly, if you want your pets to be spoiled, loved, and maybe come home with a new favorite human, Laura’s your person.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
Each time we leave our senior pup with John and Miyabi, they go above and beyond to ensure her comfort. Our dog requires different medications for medical conditions and currently has a torn ligament in her knee. She was in the best hands with John and Miyabi and came home happy and healthy.
Jasmine took care of our son’s Maltipoo, Calvin, for about 13 days while we were away, and she was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and showered with love and attention. Knowing Calvin was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. Jasmine did an amazing job, and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Jasmine, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Calvin! ❤️🐶
I had a wonderful experience with Valeria! She took great care of my pet and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Absolutely wonderful! I left my dog with Brittnie for 4 nights and could not be happier with the experience. It is always nerve-wracking to leave your pup with a new sitter, but I was kept at ease with regular updates and photos. Lucy came back calm, happy, and delightfully tired from all the fun. It is clear she was treated like family and received top-notch care. I am so grateful to have found a reliable, loving sitter and will be booking again. Highest recommendation!
Tian is a great dogsitter! Through Harper's stay, he shared videos and photos, gave me updates on her activity, and asked me about her eating pattern to make sure it was normal. Very attentive and communicative with me before and during her stay. Harper seems really comfortable with him as well. I'd happily rebook with Tian!
Sylwia was AWESOME! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of cuddles and attention. We know how comfortable and happy he is with her because every time we drop him off, he heads straight into her home without even looking back at us! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Rudy is in such loving hands. We highly recommend Sylwia!
Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Maritza was amazing! I needed a sitter on short notice and she was very quick to respond and accept my pup. She sent me many photos and videos from their adventures together while I was out of time. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so so so much Maritza, Jeter had a blast with you.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in West Athens 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 West Athens 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 West Athens.
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 West Athens. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 West Athens 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 CA 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.
