“Kari was an awesome selection to board our dog Mickey. She and her family happy and fun people and Mickey loved that. When we picked up Mickey he was a very happy boy. Tired from all of the play with Kari's family and dog. He is all tuckered out which is awesome for him. We will definitely have her to board our little boy in the future.”

“First let me just start off by saying Mary and her family are too cute! They welcomed my little Topaz as if he were their own! You can feel the energy of her home warm and inviting, her dog is very sweet as well. She updated me with pics quite often and she even game him a bath before I picked him back up! I would highly recommend her and would definitely re use her if ever I needed care services in the future! Thank you guys for being so awesome!”

“Joleen was amazing with my two girls! She was great with communication and sending pictures with updates while I was out of town. They were very well taken care of and got very spoiled by her. When I picked them up they looked so happy and didn’t want to leave since they loved running around her backyard. Joleen was even very kind to wash my dogs bed out of generosity and sent them home with a new toy. Highly recommend using Joleen for when you need your babies watched. 12 out of 10 will be using Joleen for next time I need my dogs watched.”

“Excellent service, care, and communication! I am extremely particular about who watches our fur baby - one, because I adore him, care deeply about his safety, and do not like leaving him; and two, because we have had more than one bad experience in the past. Marketa and Jay were patient and understanding, answered questions, addressed my concerns, and helped allay my fears and worries. And the ongoing communication was greatly appreciated. I felt they were honest and trustworthy, which was a great relief to me as well, as I felt our fur baby was safe in their care.”

“I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.”

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

About: Hi, I’m Laurel! I grew up with animals my whole life and have always had a genuine passion for pets of all sizes and species. I’m fun, organized, responsible, and excited for the opportunity to help care for your pets while you’re away! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as an individual. I understand that young, senior, and special-needs pets may require different levels of patience, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means extra playtime and structure for a young pet or a slower pace and additional attention for a senior pet. Most importantly, your babies will be cared for, loved, and treated just as if they were my own. I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I currently work a full-time job, but pet care fits well into my daily routine. I’m available in the early mornings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, and some quality time before I head to work. In the evenings, I’m available for walks, playtime, dinner, and of course, plenty of snuggles and attention before bedtime. I also have much more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate additional time to your pets, whether they need longer walks, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to keep them company. I’m organized and responsible, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. While I do have a full-time job, I’m committed to making pet care a priority and providing dependable, loving care whenever your pets need me. I’ve grown a genuine love for animals and feel that I can bond with almost any pet. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet may need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m so looking forward to getting to know your pets, giving them plenty of love and attention, and helping you have peace of mind while you’re working, traveling, or simply away from home. Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my priority! 🐾❤️

“Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.”

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 Agricola 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 Agricola.

<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 Agricola 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 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.
