“Linda is absolutely AMAZING. I had never left my sweet pups at another home while I had traveled. I always boarded them at a daycare/boarding facility. When I did a search on Rover for boarding in my area, I came upon Linda. We had a meet and greet for our pups and it was the most incredible experience I have ever had with meet and greet. I dropped my Sophie & Charlie off the day before I headed to the Bahamas and left them in the WONDERFUL hands of Linda for 6 days! Linda always kept me up to date on them with pictures, sweet words in dog talk from my "fur kids", things they experienced that day, etc. Linda is the kindest soul I have truly every met. Her farm is BEAUTIFUL, her home comfortable and clean and her family lovely! My dogs were depressed for 2 days when I brought them home! I can honestly say I will never, ever leave my dogs anywhere else when I travel! Thank you Mama Linda! Sophie and Charlie adore you and miss you and so do I!!”
“I left our dog, Paddy, in Miriam's care for the first time this past week, and am absolutely delighted by the loving care he got. When I first met Miriam, and her husband, at the Meet and Greet ahead of time, I could see their huge hearts for dogs (and cats) in their care. Their home is a welcoming and safe environment and Paddy took to it right away. Miriam understood his specific needs and gave him the attention he loves. He actually played with their little dog in their wonderful fenced in yard ; an opportunity he doesn't have at home (no other pets & no fenced in yard). I loved the pictures and messages she sent about how he was doing. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely leave Paddy in her care again - without reservations and without worrying about him! A great experience!”
“Daphne has done an amazing job sitting for me while I was out of the country and with day care. My baby had a wonderful time, was so happy and clearly well cared for. The daily check-ins were especially reassuring while I was traveling, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Highly recommended!”
“Rebekah saved our trip! Our usual dog sitter had to cancel our reservation and we were left searching for a dog sitter the day before our trip! Rebekah was so quick to respond and we will definitely be using her again! Thank you for loving on Gilbert and taking such great care of him. He truly seemed to be happy and comfortable during his stay!”
“I had found out last minute I couldn’t take my puppy on vacation with us and Catecha stepped in and saved the day. She took very good care of Roxi while we away! I will be using her in the future. Thanks again for everything!”
“I was very nervous leaving Bucky for the first time and was concerned that he would not handle it well. But Mika kept me updated with lots of pictures and it seems like Bucky enjoyed his time at her house. I will be using her again in the future!”
“She is the absolute best!!!!! Made me very comfortable with the care she gave and kept me updated with everything!! I only want to book with her!! Trust is key and she can provide that!! 💞”
“Yari did a great job taking care of my 3 dogs. I had an emergency come up and I wasn’t able to pick them up at the agreed time and she was very accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to date for their dogs while they’re away.”
“Karen was awesome and took excellent care of our two dogs, Victoria and Saffy. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She sent daily updates and plenty of pictures. They had lots of outside playtime with the other dogs and plenty of love from Karen and her daughters. You could see in the pictures how much fun they were having. This was our first time boarding them with someone so we were a little nervous but Karen definitely exceeded our expectations. When we need to board them again we will absolutely use Karen! Debbie K.”
“Emily was AMAZING!!! She responded almost immediately and was open to communicating as much or as little as we liked. She also sent pictures and videos. We will definitely use her again and I highly recommend.”
“I was a bit nervous at first since it was my first time using rover, but the meet and greet really calmed my nerves. Taylor is pretty awesome and down to earth and did an amazing job with Gauge. Definitely going to be the first person I use next time!”
“Kirsy is very nice and communicative. Her house is warm and welcoming. Leaving your fur baby with a stranger is extremely stressful. Kirsy eased our stress with multiple pictures/video updates daily. She is an amazing sitter and I highly recommend her services.”
“Crystal was patient and gentle with our elderly Australian-Shepherd-Black-Lab mix. We got pictures all throughout our vacation and knew we didn't have anything to worry about while Jake was in Crystal's capable hands. Thanks! ♥️♥️♥️”
“Our Shih Tzus were very well taken take of. Nakeisha took great care of them and sent us photos of them having a great weekend so we had no worries leaving them. Will gladly recommend this buisness to anyone!”
“Kaycee was welcoming to our kitten and took great care of him. She send me lots of pictures as I was overseas. I appreciate her and I'm thankful my pet was taken care of. 💓”
“This was our first time using Rover and having anyone outside of family watching Honey, and Kathryn made us feel comfortable and gave us peace of mind from the beginning. She made sure that Honey was well taken care of but also enjoyed her time away with daily walks, fetch, snuggles, and affection. She was communicative the entire time and the daily pics helped with missing our girl. Will absolutely think of Kathryn for future needs!”
“Dawn and Steve are great! Very responsive and agreed to a meet and greet beforehand to provide me, a first timer, with comfortability that everything was a good fit. Good, clear, quick communication. Sent daily pictures which I liked. Definitely recommend them.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and i have taken care of others dogs for years. I have my own fur babies and I can’t imagine my life without them. I have such a deep love for all animals which is so important when owning and caring for pets. They are part of the family. Friends and family always know that they can rely on me to give their fur babies the best care and a cozy home away from home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily life because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I don’t have a traditional work schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of affection, and simply having them around while I go about my day. I’m able to be flexible with their individual routines and make sure they get regular bathroom breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I know every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I like taking the time to get to know each pet and make them feel safe and at home. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel like they’re getting a fun, comfortable visit with a friend rather than simply being away from their family. I have a comfortable, dog-friendly home where pets can relax and feel at ease. What’s mine is theirs. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, so I always take dogs outside on a leash and make sure they get regular walks and bathroom breaks. I’m happy to adjust walks and activity levels based on each dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. My home is also all on one level, which makes it a safe and comfortable environment for dogs of all ages and abilities. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may have mobility limitations or breeds that are more prone to back problems. I have dogs of my own(one being a mini dachshund), so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll give each pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while they’re in my care, and I’ll do my best to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here.

Jennifer was such a good person to me and my Blu she took excellent care of her as she was her own and always keep me updated of everything my blu did she send me pictures everyday of her. If I need another care for blu or any other pet I have I will definitely pick Jennifer again always thank you so much for everything you did ❤️ if there would be more stars to give you I'll definitely give them all to you Jennifer 🙏
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lania was absolutely amazing with Toby! I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was kind, dependable, responsive, and gave me constant updates throughout his entire stay. The pictures and especially the videos were amazing! I could actually see that Toby was comfortable, happy, and having a wonderful time. He wasn't simply being watched—he was genuinely enjoying himself, and that gave me so much peace of mind. ❤️🐾 What impressed me even more was the genuine care Lania showed for Toby as a senior dog. She paid attention to his individual needs and even gave me helpful advice regarding feeding and caring for an older pet. That meant a lot to me because it showed that she truly cared about his well-being beyond just the time he was staying with her. Toby is my 10-year-old beagle and a very important part of our family, so trusting someone else with him isn't something I take lightly. Lania made me feel completely comfortable. Even when he's had his late night panic attacks... (The Beagle no crate howl) lol Toby came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a wonderful time. 🥰 I would absolutely book with Lania again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Thank you, Lania, for treating our Toby like family and giving my little old man a wonderful vacation! ❤️🐶🐾
Amanda looked after Princess while I was away and did an amazing job. It was Princess’s first time apart from us and she was nervous, but Amanda was patient and gave her the time she needed. She sent regular photos and took excellent care of her, which really put my mind at ease. Highly recommend!
I was honestly a bit nervous about finding a new sitter since I had used the same person on Rover for a year, but this experience turned out to be absolutely great! I was out of town for four days, and Kelly took wonderful care of my dog, Truth. She sent such nice updates and pictures while I was away, which completely put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter and will definitely be booking with Kelly again.

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 Youth home-away-from-home, 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 Youth.
<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 Youth 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 , 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 .
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.
