“My dogs absolutely love their time with Aunt Leslie. They settle in quickly as if it hasn't been a couple months since the last stay. I enjoyed my time away without any concerns about the pups best they were under Leslie's care and supervision.”
“Erica was fantastic! 🌟 This was our first time ever boarding our 3 1/2 year-old sheltie, so we weren’t sure how well he would do. We checked out two local kennels, and they were not a good fit for him as he was very scared. So we looked into dog sitters in a home environment. I met with Erica before the booking and she put my mind at ease. When we got him back he slept most of the rest of the day since he had so much fun playing with all the dogs! He was well cared for and we will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much ❤️ 🩵”
“Tamara to the rescue again! We absolutely love that she offers pick up and drop off. It makes such a difference for our family since we’re always busy with young kids and booking things last minute. She is incredibly accommodating, reliable, and easy to work with. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Penelope is in good hands. Thank you!”
“This was Blue’s second stay, and once again, we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Thank you for taking such great care of him and treating him like part of the family. The updates and communication gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear that Blue was comfortable, happy, and well loved. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely book with you again.”
“Our little lady loved staying with Joanna! They took the best care of our dog. Grateful there was a place to take our smaller elderly dog that was so specialized for her needs. They even celebrated her birthday! I am not sure our dog wanted to leave ;)”
“Teddy just came home from spending 3 nights with Ali and her family. When I picked him up he was all brushed out and handsome and he came home with a surprise toy that Ali gave him. These little extras separate her from other pet sitters. When he got home he was a bit out of sorts, but I think he just misses playing with her daughter and all the extra attention he got. I highly recommend Ali's pet sitting services.”
“Darnell and his fam watched our two doodles for 8 nights and they took such good care of our girls! Daily updates and it was obvious our girls were pampered while there. They became very comfortable at their home and may think they are part of Mr. Darnell’s family.”
“This is our first time using Caroline through Rover and will definitely use her again! She took good care of our older dog Carmela and was very sweet and patient with her. She kept us updated about Carmela through messages and pictures which we appreciated. Caroline also had no issues with our request on how to feed Carmela since she is a picky eater and even gave her her medication. We highly recommend Caroline!!”
“Ashley (and her husband) is an amazing pet sitter! We chose Ashley because she and her husband have done a great deal with feral cats and in rescuing them so we knew immediately that they are compassionate and caring people. They took great care of our cat and he was also able to spend time with Ashley's dog Nike. We have already booked our next sitting dates!”
“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!”
“We are so happy to have found Iryna and James to take care of our girl Piper. Iryna was so caring and thoughtful in watching what Piper liked and needed. We got so many pictures and videos and they made us feel so comfortable about how Piper was doing and getting along with her new friends. Their property is lovely and there's a great neighborhood for walks. We will definitely use them again whenever we travel.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”
“Mei was the best! She took good care of our sweet Maltipoo and sent us lots of updates with pics and videos. We dropped off our puppy early in the am and due to our flight being delayed we also picked up a bit later than anticipated but Mei was wonderful and gracious.”
“Oh my gosh where do I start!! I cannot say enough good things about Jackelin! She was absolutely amazing! She consistently sent me pictures and videos throughout the 3 days that I boarded my dog with her, She let me do a meet and great, she updated me throughout the day, and was fast to communicate with! If you’re looking for someone who truly will care for your dog as their own and will update you with pictures and videos throughout the day. Jackelin is the one for you!! Cooper will definitely be returning! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much Jackelin!”
About: I provide one-on-one care. Your pet will get 100% of my attention! I proudly raised two kittens who lived beautiful lives. I currently have a cockatiel age 15 and a goldfish. I have cared for friends pets when they were out of town and family dogs. I listen clearly to your requests and suggestions and aim to be the person I would want to leave my pet with. I absolutely love ALL animals! I’m currently home from college and available through the summer. My schedule is flexible and I am ready when needed. My summer course work is completed so all my time and energy will be with your pet. I have a small fenced yard ( see photo ) and My neighborhood has sidewalks to take walks or runs and I welcome you to bring your pet’s toys, stuffed animals, beds etc., anything to make them feel more at home. I will follow your routine and watch animals one at a time.
About: We don’t have grandkids (yet), or a dog, or even a grand dog, so we thought, why not borrow yours? We’d love the opportunity to love and spoil your dog while you’re away! We had our own beloved dog, Chase, for 15 years, and he was truly part of our family. We still miss him, and we’ve discovered that one of the things we miss most is having a dog around the house. We’re not quite ready to make the commitment to having another dog of our own, but we realized we could get our dog fix by loving and spoiling yours! We both work full time, so our weekdays have dependable routings. We”re a caring, responsible couple who will treat your dog like family. We enjoy having a furry companion around, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. We’re happy to follow your routines, including feeding schedules, treats, medications, and all those little things that make your dog feel at home.We have a great neighbor for either long or short walks. We do have a couple of requirements because we want everyone to be safe and comfortable. We’re looking for dogs who walk nicely on a leash without pulling too much and who don’t jump on people. We’re happy to give your pup plenty of love, we just prefer that our walks don’t turn into an Olympic event! Our goal is simple: you get to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being loved, and we get to enjoy having a temporary granddog. It sounds like a pretty good arrangement to us! ❤️ If your pup 🐶 is friendly, well mannered, and looking for a loving home away from home, we’d love to meet them. We both work full time but we’re home in the mornings and evenings, and we’re home all day on the weekends. Our adult so. Also lives with us and is sometimes home during the day, although his schedule varies from day to day and week to week. When he is home, he’s a responsible adult who enjoys dogs and is happy to give your pup a little extra company. Most importantly, your dog will have a consistent routine with us, along with plenty of love and attention, walks, and snuggles when we’re home. When your dog stays with us, they’re like part of the family, not just a guest! We want them to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home, so we’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including meals, treats, walks, and any special instructions you provide. There will be plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and of course a few extra belly rubs if they’re willing to accept them! We’ll give your pup the same patience and care we would want someone to have given our Chase when he was with us. Our goal is for your dog to have a wonderful stay!

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!!!!
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.
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.
