“Leslie was wonderful! We rarely leave our dog with anyone, so we were nervous about going on our trip. Leslie instantly put us at ease. She sent detailed updates every day, including videos, pictures, and a recap of Teddy’s day. Teddy had a fantastic time! You can easily see how dedicated Leslie is and how much she truly loves dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing Teddy was in such caring hands. We will certainly be booking with Leslie again!”
“Richard and family took excellent care of our Daisy. It was her first stay with him and he sent us regular updates, photos and video. Was a huge reassurance that she was not only doing okay but playing and having an awesome time with Richard and his family. We will definitely book with him in the future!”
“The only person we are 100% comfortable leaving our fur baby with when out of town. Our girl is shy and struggles with separation anxiety except when she is at Tara’s. She walks right in to her home just like she does at ours! Excellent communication and flexibility in scheduling when challenges arise.”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my two pups, Blu and Izzy, to Rachel's care for nine days while I was on holiday, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Rachel was polite, warm, and accommodating from the very start. She consistently sent me pictures throughout the week of Blu and Izzy enjoying their time, whether they were on walks, running around in her backyard, or lounging on her deck. Her responsiveness to messages provided me with peace of mind, knowing my pups were in good hands. This was my first time using Rover, and Rachel made it a fantastic experience.”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Amazing service! They took great care of my husky and sent plenty of photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. Super friendly, communicative, and clearly care about the dogs they watch. I’d absolutely recommend them and would book with them again.”
“Kristen was awesome with both my Irish Wolfhound puppy and his little sister a lab/pit bull mix. Plenty of time to run and play in the big areas. They both loved it.”
“Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Beth was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated. She was clearly prepared and already had everything she needed to provide great care, which made boarding prep so easy and stress-free for us. Her yard is spacious and perfect for dogs to play safely. She even sent him home with the sweetest little thank-you gift. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”
“Amazing doggie sitter, frequently sent pictures and videos of Bella. Bella was super happy to play with other doggies and run around in a fenced in yard! Highly recommended, I will definitely rebook on our next vacation!”
“So glad we found Chaimae! I accidentally booked too short of a stay for our pets but she was very accommodating and extended our booking until we got back home! It was great having peace of mind that our pets were safe, secure and living their best life while we were away! 😁”
“Ashley was very sweet and helped us out immensely with our two little girls. The dogs loved it at her house and were so grateful. We’ll definitely be back at some point soon!”
“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”
“Jeannette took good care of LuLu during the stay, and sent multiple pictures updates. I will definitely recommend and will book again if I need a sitter in the future! Thanks again Jeannette!”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Airlie
Leslie was incredible! Our previous dog watcher had left the state, so we had to find someone new. I was worried about how he would be with someone new. My dog can be picky about who he likes, but he LOVED Leslie! Leslie is an amazing, caring, dog lover. She gave him her full attention, and adoration. Her communication was excellent. I received a morning and evening report, as well as many photos and videos. I can't stress enough how you can trust Leslie with your precious fur baby. My dog also needs daily medicine, and she handled that perfectly. So happy we found someone to watch our dog!!!!

Abigail was perfect. She watched our Boston Terrier Buster for 5 days, each day she sent a text with pictures to let us know how he was. She took him for walks and loved him like we do. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely rebook in the future

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Airlie can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Airlie 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 Airlie.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Airlie. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Airlie 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
