“Kendra did amazing Niko!! She let us know how he did every single day with a detailed explanation which made me feel super comfortable. She kept my mind at ease. Will forever be going to Kendra ❤️”
“Sure! Here’s a thoughtful review you can use: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amanda and Adam did an amazing job pet-sitting my dog over the weekend! They made sure she felt right at home, sending me daily updates and adorable pictures that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they truly cared for her, and I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciate their reliability and kindness, and I will absolutely continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!”
“As this was my first time using Rover, I was super nervous about leaving my baby. But the moment I dropped him off, I instantly felt at ease. From the regular check-ins to all the adorable pictures, I truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Loui. I was able to relax and fully enjoy my trip knowing he was in such great hands. I would 100% recommend Deven & Tyreek to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my baby! 🐾💕”
“Laura and her family do an excellent job with Nacho. I am comfortable leaving him in their care as I know they will treat him no different than as a member of their family. I'm sure he misses us, but he also looks forward to boarding at their house so I am not worried at all that he will be homesick.”
“Damacia was a God sent especially at the last minute and having availability on a holiday weekend! I could tell right away that she loves what she does. She kept me informed on my Bentley’s playtime, eating and how he settled in with the other dogs! She even sent pictures of his interactions throughout the day! I will definitely be using Damacia in the future!”
“Dale and Cyrus had a great time with Laura, DJ, and family! Communication was very easy and we were provided photo and text updates during the stay. We could tell they were having a great time and were treated extremely well. We picked up two very happy and healthy dogs! We will definitely book again for future trips.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would for the exceptional care Sarah gave to my baby I would. Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“Hilary was incredible with our pup, Indo! This was our first time using the rover service and our first time leaving Indo with someone who wasn’t family. She sent me updates and pictures on how Indo was doing and it really put us at ease knowing we left him with a sitter that really treats your pups like family! 10/10 would recommend Hilary and we will definitely be returning if we ever need her again in the future!”
“Shay and Jake did an amazing job watching over Wendy. I could tell she was happy and comfortable with all the updates/pictures they provided. Would recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter in the area!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of our 18 month old dog,Blu. She sent in frequent updates about him. She was kind enough to accommodate our last minute requests.Definitely recommend her!”
“This is our second time booking with Angelica, and she is truly heaven-sent! She always provides Benzino with exceptional care, love, and hospitality. He enjoys his time with her so much that he didn't even want to leave! 🤣 She sent us multiple daily updates with the best pictures and videos. Angelica, thank you for taking such great care of our baby. We appreciate you more than you know and are so grateful to have found you. Benzino’s new BFF 🫶 She is highly recommended!”
“Andrada was wonderful! She sent us daily pictures, videos and updates. She responded quickly and worked with our schedule. I will 100% recommend her. We will most definitely be returning in the near future. Kizzez will miss Molly and Zara ?!”
“Michelle is loving, kind and very accommodating. Her house is spotless and your pet always comes first. She updates you just enough so you can enjoy your travels and not worry about anything. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave. She got so much attention and love. Michelle is wonderful!”
“Fantastic sitters in every way! They took amazing care of our dog and we could not ask for anything more. We received multiple photos and videos throughout our vacation, which showed how much our dog was being loved on and how well she was being taken care of. Will absolutely request this couple again.”
“Raye was amazing with our two dogs! One in particular is very timid and she did a great job of making her feel safe and welcome. We received tons of photos and appreciated all of the updates :)”
“Was such a great host of my cat pumpkin. Sent timely updates and made sure to get the cutest pictures of her back to me during her stay! Definitely hope to book her again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Afton
Royal, Rhonda and Logan really came through for me on short notice when I was in a pinch! It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s nice to know there’s someone willing to help. ❤️ I know Chachi is well cared for when he visits and I have amazing pictures to support this! I highly recommend them. Thank you so much! ❤️
Kourtney was wonderful! Her home is the perfect setup for hosting dogs, and mine absolutely loved her large, fenced backyard. She was communicative both before and throughout their stay, providing daily updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. She was also flexible and understanding with drop-off and pickup times, which I appreciated. I recommend Kourtney to anyone looking for a great place for their dogs to stay!
Kendra took such great care of our dog. She was very thoughtful in sending multiple updates throughout the day every day of our pets stay with her. She was also very responsive to all messages. We had no worries at all and would love to be able to have our pet stay with Kendra again in the future.
Best pet sitter around. My pup absolutely loves going to see Airlea and I don’t have to worry about bit if he is being taken care of. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day so I can see how much fun my dog is having. Half the time he isn’t ready to leave and wants to stay with her lol. If you are looking for a wonderful sitter for your 4 legged family, she is the one!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Afton 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 Afton.
<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 Afton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
