“Love Kari! So glad I came across her profile! My dog was so comfortable with her from the moment we walked in, that I knew she would be in good hands while in her care. Will absolutely be using Kari again for future care. Thank you!”
“Brenda's home was clean, and she was very conscientious about our initial meetup and making sure that my pup was cared for in a way that I was comfortable with. She also sent lots of pictures during the weekend that we were away.”
“We were so happy with our dog in Jessica's care! He had a few medical needs requiring some extra attention and meds to be given and she was great with him. She even texted us some updates to just check in while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Mary is amazing! She is EXTREMELY flexible and a very loving and nurturing attitude. My pup had a great time with her and I felt completely comfortable with him there. I got pictures and updates my entire trip :)”
“Aaliyah was amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and so sweet. She was very attentive and immediately picked up on Reconquista’s behavior, which really impressed me. You can tell she truly understands dogs and genuinely cares about them. I felt very comfortable leaving Reconquista with her and will do so in the future! Highly recommend Aaliyah!!!!!”
“Joleen was wonderful to work with and took great care of our dog! He obviously felt right at home with her which is what matters most to me. I would gladly book again with her in the future!”
“Wendy is so great for Chloe because she loves dogs and she watches over Chloe with tender care 🐾 Thank you so much for the cute pictures of Chloe you send me when she’s with you!! Terri 🤩💕”
“We are so happy to have found Emily- I am no longer concerned about leaving our dog when we go out of town, because Emily sends regular updates and pictures, and we know she's in great hands! Drop off and pick up are a breeze, and our dog wags her tail every time we pull up to the house.”
“Our pup stayed with Marketa for a few nights while we were out of town. She was very communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures which we loved. Our pup seemed to be very comfortable at her house and came home happy!”
“Casey does a fantastic job! She watches Milo every year when we go on vacation. Milo loves going there and has so much fun and attention I think he doesn’t care how long he stays. Casey is attentive and I never have to worry about my dog’s care. She sends updates, pictures and will reach out if there is a question. We will never use anyone else!”
“Kasalyn was great! She took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“My husband and I have 100% confidence in Chantal. She always provides great updates, is very flexible around drop off and pick up times— which is especially important when a train or a flight is delayed — and our dogs are treated as if they are her own, with lots of snuggling and play time. We have no anxieties about them while we’re gone. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, so I was definitely nervous about leaving our dog for 11 days. The moment we dropped Cash off and started talking with Emily, all of my nerves disappeared! Her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for dogs immediately put us at ease! Cash had the best time! He came home happy, relaxed, and it was obvious he had been well cared for and loved. Emily kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, I can’t recommend Emily enough! Emily is Cash’s forever sitter, and we’ll be booking with her every time!! ❤️”
About: I was raised on a farm so I have been taking care of animals my whole life! I had a Dalmatian, golden retriever, and German Shepard growing up as a kid. I have fostered numerous dogs the last three years. My sweet Gemma girl who was a lab mix sadly passed away three years ago and we’re not quite ready for another dog yet so until then I would love to spoil and help take care of your four legged baby I was recently unexpectedly laid off from my full time job so I have lots of availability especially during the day to help care for your four legged babies I have a large yard for the dogs to play in and would love to take your dogs on walks and care for them at their home too. I do have two young children but no other pets in my home currently
“Caroline and Spencer were amazing with our Newfie baby!! Quake absolutely loved the lake and the pictures of him having so much fun gave us great peace of mind! I know he was happy to see us but I could tell he didn't want to leave! Thank you again for taking such great care of our big baby boy!!”
“Layna D and her family did a wonderful job in caring for my dogs well being and kept me updated everyday with texts and pictures. Completely trustworthy and responsible and I highly recommend her for sitting services. If she’s available the next time I go out of town I will definitely rebook.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Ollie to stay with anyone and Allison made it a lot easier for us! She sent us pictures of him playing and let us know how he was doing the whole time. We picked him up after being gone a week and he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Abert
Carla was amazing! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Margery is a nervous dog but from the pictures that Carla sent to us updating her status, we could tell Margery had found a second home. All of our instructions were followed and I believe Margery felt safe and secure! If Cala is available next time, we would love for her to watch Margery 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 Abert 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 Abert.
<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 Abert 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 VA 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.
