“10/10 I never felt more confident leaving my pet somewhere before. They kept me up to date with how she was doing. They sent pictures and asked questions about how I did certain things. It was a great experience not only for me but for my sweet dog. She came home happy and unfazed that I left her there for a few nights.”
“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“We were so happy to find Yuwadee! She was kind enough to take time out of her busy day for a meet and greet ahead of time. She has a wonderfully spacious fenced-in yard to allow for plenty of exercise and opportunities for smelling enrichment. We have two dogs who need a lot of attention in different ways. Tosh is a 17.5-year-old Doberman mix who is on many medications and has some incontinence and mobility issues. Trying to get him to take all his pills is a major, time-consuming challenge. Our other dog, Tatsu (Japanese for little dragon) is a 5-year-old English Setter with enough energy to run 18 miles a day given the chance. She is also an escape artist and gets into everything. Given their opposing tendencies, I find boarding them at even the best facilities doesn’t give them the individual attention they need. Yu did such a great job of getting Tosh’s medication in him that he was walking the best I’ve seen him in years when I picked him up! Yu was very communicative before and during our trip to keep us updated and fine-tune their typical routines to understand our dogs better. We look forward to using her services in the future when we travel. I can’t recommend Yu enough! I would give her ten stars if I could!”
“Brian and Yui and their extended dog family and friends were excellent hosts. Our dog Misty is an only-dog and hasn't been exposed to other dogs for long periods of time. Because of that, along with her being in a new place and being (seemingly) deserted by us, we were pretty nervous about leaving her with anyone. Brian and Yui put our fears to rest during a Meet & Greet, and we left town feeling very comfortable with our decision. We knew that not only would she be safe, healthy and supervised, but she would also be loved and cared for--certainly not lonely! Still, every so often on our trip, we'd start feeling a little guilty. Then we'd get a video of Misty running around in the dog park or stretched out on the sofa with the littler dogs cuddled around her. It is very apparent that Brian and Yui are committed to their roles as canine caretakers. We couldn't be happier with their care of our dog. So glad they're affiliated with DogVacay or we would never have found them! The Roys”
“Amy was INCREDIBLE!!!! We have never done something like Rover before and let me tell you, if Amy isn’t available we will be moving our vacation around her schedule, she was so good!!!!! She sent updates throughout the day, everyday! Lots of videos and pictures as well! Our Willow got soooo much interaction with her dogs and other dogs, it was perfect for her!! We are so thankful we have found someone we can trust with our Willow! Thank you so much again Amy!!! Willow already misses Koda haha!”
“Our dachshunds spent a week at a resort! They were pampered and loved, spoiled rotten and loved the heated blanket. I can’t say enough great things about these amazing people and their children who took such great care of our Doxies - I’m not sure they wanted to leave!!!”
“Mark and Gretchen took great care of Palmer while we were gone. We had never left him with anyone before and were a little nervous about how he would do. I'm amazed that they made it through the first night with him and didn't call us asking to come pick him up! :) We were so thankful to know he was being taken good care of. Gretchen sent a few pictures twice a day, which was really helpful to know he was having a good time. Their communication was and has been great. We will definitely use them again!”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
“I would absolutely give Melinda & McKenna 10 out of 5 if I could! Melinda was so responsive setting up a meet and greet with the introduction to her home. I immediately felt such great connection! Gracie Mae was welcomed for a long weekend stay. Sweet Eli was so welcoming and such a great companion. From the pictures you would have thought they were kindred spirits. The communication, updates, pictures throughout the weekend certainly put my curiosity to ease immediately just after the first day ! The love of their home to your furry baby is above and beyond! I’m looking forward to the next getaway and I know Gracie will be looking forward to her next stay! This is truly a spa retreat filled with so much love! Melinda & McKenna you are the best and thank you for the abundance of love!”
“Ryan was great! My dog had a great time playing with his dog. Ryan was very communicative and made sure my dog was well taken care of. I would highly recommend and plan to use again in the future!”
“Anna was superb with our two dogs! They have a lot of energy and she was able to keep them happy, entertained, and still remembering their training. She sends timely videos and pictures so you can see your pets are happy. We'd highly recommend Anna for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“Tammy does a great job with a new "visitor" he was not nervous because she made our little guy feel very comfortable. We have used Tammy's services several times and will keep doing so.”
“Rene was fabulous with my little morkie Stella! She sent me multiple updates a day as well as pictures. I will be using Rene again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whelchel
This was the first time leaving my dog with anyone. Natalie sent daily updates with pictures. Her fenced in backyard was wonderful to allow my 50 lb mixed breed to run. Jax seemed so happy there and believe he would have gladly stayed and been part of their family! I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Whelchel 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 Whelchel.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Whelchel 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.
