“Lauryn is a sweet, caring individual. I couldn't have asked for someone better!! She loved my girls and treated them like her own!! I got pictures and videos every day, which set my heart at ease. I will definitely use her again!! 🥰”
“As usual, Xena had a Wonderful time! She was happy when we picked her up…and was pooped when she got home. Thank you for being a safe place for us to leave Xena & for the pics everytime!”
“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first experience with Rover, and I couldn’t be happier to have found Cristen and Michael. My pup was truly loved and cared for by them. There was no kennel—he had the run of the house, a fenced-in yard, walks and playtime, and I received wonderful pictures throughout his stay. It was clear that he was treated like one of the family. My pup is actually a senior citizen, and if he gets a vote on his caregiver, he’d pick Cristen and Michael. I would too. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!”
“Constance is great! Our schnauzer was in amazing hands, and he seemed to really love his time there. We will definitely schedule with Constance in the future and refer her to anyon els who may need dog sitter support.”
“Shanae was absolutely amazing , and Nova fully enjoyed her time with Shanae and Ash. I would definitely book with her again with no hesitation. She’s attentive, keeps you informed, and makes sure to send lots of pictures. She truly has an amazing spirit”
“Milena was great! She treated my boy like one of her own. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures as I was initially anxious about leaving him. Thank you so much for treating him well! We will be booking with her again!”
“Best experience I’ve had on rover!!! My dog moose came back so happy and he was clean and soft too! Vianca sent lots of pictures of him, I would def recommend booking with her!”
“Chai loved his weekend with Kacie! Her communication was stellar throughout; she shared regular updates, including pictures, on a daily basis, and made sure he was packed and ready to go for pick-up. Chai came home happy and tired, signs of a weekend well-spent :) We will absolutely use Kacie’s services again - and Chai can’t wait to see his pup friend Laurel again!”
“Robin and Kyle (and their toddler) loved on Pixie and made her feel relaxed and comforted. I got a few pictures of Pixie sitting on a lap and even one of her sleeping beside their own dog. So the environment must have been calm and positive for all those things to happen. Strongly recommend.”
“Shelley was amazing!!!! I was updated on a regular with what my dog was doing and how he was acting. She's extremely kind and gentle and we will be using her and her services again and again!!!!”
“Deidre did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was in the middle of moving. Her experience with pets and cats specifically gave me peace of mind. She took great care of our cats and provided regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Deidre and would happily use her again!”
“Charley is immediately comfortable being at Christene and her family and dog Moon’s house. He has stayed there a few times so it’s nice knowing he feels at home. Charley is a picky eater, Christene cooked himbreakfast 🍳 thank you:o)”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were very impressed with Caitlin and Andrew. We have never left our dog with any one other than family, so this was a huge step for us. We were able to do a meet and greet before our vacation and our Irish doodle loved Caitlin and her 3 kids right from the start. They gave him lots of tummy rubs and kept him entertained the whole week. Caitlin and the whole family made us feel so comfortable. They posted pictures of him playing and her kids loving on him every day! She was even quick to notice his ears were waxy, sent me a picture of them, and cleaned them and put in ear drops with the instructions we provided. We will definitely use Caitlin again and it was extra nice to be their only client for the week so he got extra love and attention!”
“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”
“Amazing and accommodating when had to extend at last minute. Really sweet and nice people. Notified me when stool was soft and kept monitoring. Will book again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 452 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alliance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Alliance 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 Alliance 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 Alliance.
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 Alliance. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Alliance 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.
