Rover.com – Dog Boarding & Sitting

This is an amazing service if you live in the Atlanta area. It really is like an über for pet owners as other reviewers have mentioned. I had never heard of it until I had to fly out of town for a family emergency and began frantically searching for options for my dog the night before. I stumbled across Rover as it was the only program that wouldn’t require me to drop him off during set business hours or do any time consuming activities such as temperament tests. I found someone near my parents’ house, which was convenient because I was picking them up before going to the airport, and I was able to drop him off at 4a since the flight left at 7a, something that would not have been possible at a traditional boarding facility. Especially considering the fact that it was all last minute and I’d only booked my flight the night before. It was great to not to have to worry about accommodations for my dog during a time when I was trying to navigate a family crisis. I would definitely recommend Rover to my friends and have already recommended it to a few people.

As I described Rover to a friend — it’s like AirBnB for dogs! I love this option for Dog Walking & Dog Boarding. My dog is so much happier to be in a home setting while we’re away, rather than kenneled up with no one around. He’s a companion dog and needs someone to be a companion to. Thanks to Rover, we’ve found the perfect situations for him. I highly recommend!

Dog Walker & Dog Boarding has been a huge help as a resource to integrate our new puppy into life. Finding someone to visit him during the day was quick and easy. Our provider has been super-​flexible and chill. She loves dogs and we appreciate how trustworthy and reliable she is. I really have the feeling that with
, should she not be available, I could easily find a replacement who’s just the same.

My husband decided on a last-​minute mini-​vacation, leaving me scrambling to find lodging for our two senior dogs, a pointer mix and a blind Tibetan spaniel mix. I found a wonderful woman, Destiny, a former vet tech, who keeps dogs in her home on the outskirts of McDonough. It was so reassuring to get texts and photos from her about our boys. A week later, we had to go out of town to a funeral. I contacted Destiny, and she said, «Your boys are always welcome.» The litmus test was to see how they acted when they returned. They just trotted into her house like it was cool to be back. Made me feel so much better. The transaction part was easy, too. I highly recommend Destiny from

I love
! It was easy to use & to find a suitable dog walker and boarding for my large mixed spoiled dog. I was able to find someone in my price range & with what I was looking for in a dog boarder’s home. I wanted my dog to be some where that had someone available to him 24 hrs a day. Unlike other boarding places, my dog was able to not be in a crate or kennel throughout his time there, he was able to sleep on the furniture & have open access to the outdoors throughout the day. I will use
for my dog’s boarding & walking needs over and over again.

Awesome experience, super easy to use and website is very user friendly. Dogs enjoyed their time and we made a new permanent puppy sitter

I have used Rover a couple of times now for dog boarding and it is such a relief to know that my dog will not be locked up in a kennel the whole time I’m away. She has severe separation anxiety and to know that she will be with people who will love her and take care of her takes a load off of my mind. I’m so happy that a service like
exists!

When we were looking for someone to look after our pets during our vacation,
was a great option. We selected a dog walker and dog boarding option that actually came to our house so that our two, unwieldy dogs could stay at home and we could avoid the hassle of dragging them to unfamiliar surroundings. Our sitter, Yamani, even took care of an emergency situation at the house (totally unrelated to the dogs) when there was flooding in the neighborhood while we were away. Talk about peace of mind! She went above and beyond. It was totally worth the cost compared to a kennel stay.

Great way to find a pup sitter, especially if you are new to town. You get to chose the criteria for your sitter, which is especially important if your pup has emotional issues or any special requirements. I suggest contacting a few sitters on the site b/​c even if their profile says available, the sitters sometimes say they are booked.

It’s important for me to find the right dog boarding and dog walker for my two chocolate labs. One is only a year and really energetic and the other is 8 years old with some health issues requiring medication. In order to go on a stress free vacation I like my pets to be in a house with a person ²⁴⁄₇ instead of in a kennel. I have used
3 times in the last 3 months with 3 different sitters and I have been so pleased.
They key to this service is that you are able to pick folks who meet your own criteria, whether they are home all day, have one or several dogs of their own, have a fenced yard or even let the dogs on the couch. I have chosen different key factors based on the trip — I was willing to drive 30 miles to a Rover sitter when I knew they would be keeping my dogs for 10 days. I wanted one closer for a one day sit and this sitter was home all day on the weekends only. Lastly, when the first two weren’t available for my next weekend away, I was easily able to find another one and do a meet and great.
I know I must sound like I am doing an advertisement but I am really not. My dogs are super important to me and my family and after years of struggling through places for my dogs, I finally feel like I actually have a network of sitters to rely on.

Before I found
— Dog Walker & Dog Boarding, I would usually board my mastiff at her daycare, but it was really expensive and I was worried she wasn’t getting enough one on one human contact. It’s great to have her play all day but I didn’t like the idea of her having to sleep in a kennel at night.
Through Rover, we found Stephen, who she instantly fell in love with. He’s awesome and I never worry at all when she stays with him, because he’s a vet tech and also is almost constantly boarding dogs at his house. And it’s so much more affordable!
itself is such an awesome service because of how automated it is. All money is exchanged through the website so you don’t have to worry about figuring out how to pay the sitter. You can book everything through the website and see the sitter’s calendar, and you can even send messages through the site so you don’t have to give out your number when meeting and interviewing new sitters. It’s seriously a genius service! I recommend it to all my friends with pets. :)

Rover Dog Boarding and Sitting is a great place for boarding your «family member». I have used them locally and even when staying in another states. The sitters are dog lovers and I have confidence in their care. They send photos every day showing them playing and having fun! My dog loves going there and I love it too. Easy to schedule and pay and even amend the stay. I only use and recommend Rover.

to anyone that needs the services offered through them

— Dog Walker & Dog Boarding is great. Used the service twice for extended stays (and last minute) and they were more than accommodating.

My husband and I and our two dogs recently moved to Atlanta from California. Our dogs have never been boarded or stayed with strangers, they were always taken care of by family or friends when we had to travel or leave them alone. They are truly my children and I was so nervous about finding someone I trusted to watch and care for them now that we have no family and friends near us. I have booked 2 different sitters through
and have been extremely satisfied. They are great people who truly care about and love dogs, and they always send pictures and offer reassurance that my pups are having a good time without me. I am so grateful for Rover.

Long live Rover for dog boarding! I always fret where to take my pooch when traveling. He doesn’t like kennels– and I don’t know any one I can depend on while I leave coming to my house to take my big dog out at his food and potty times. My sitter Shannon is the best! Right near EAV and easy to schedule. She even sends pics daily so I know my furry kid is happy! It’s like dropping the kids at the in laws :-).

I needed a dog boarding service after I realized that I would be out of town a week after we brought home our Corgi puppy from his breeder. I tried to reschedule the trip, but it was too much of a hassle. So some friends suggested I check out
to find a sitter in our area that would be willing to help out while I was gone and while the Hubs was at work. We were able to find a great sitter immediately – Kimberly D. She was so wonderful with our pup, and sent plenty of pictures of him so we knew he was in good hands. I’ve already used her services a few more times, and every experience has been perfect.
saved the day!

We recently used
for boarding our dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days this summer. We were so pleased with our decision to board our dogs in a home-​like setting as opposed to a kennel where they would get crated the majority of the day.
After checking the feedback on different sitters available in our area, we arranged a meet-​n-​greet with our sitter at their home and it was a good fit for all of us. We chose our sitter based on reviews other clients had given (many were repeat customers), as well as the amount of pictures on her profile and the details she gave about her background with dogs… plus, in her profile picture, she had a kind, honest face.
We booked our dog boarding stay through
which included pet insurance. You know up front what your sitter charges and if there are add-​on costs and some sitters offer a discount for multiple dogs… we paid via PayPal and it was easy peasy!
We received daily text updates with photos from our sitter along with peace of mind that our pets were being cared for by someone who is now our dogs home away from home.

I have found multiple dog sitters via rover and have been happy with each thus far. They’re usually cheaper than traditional boarding with more personalized care (boarders crate a majority of the time)
Love rover!
