“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
“Damacia is an amazing sitter for my dog, Jazzy! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure Jazzy was well cared for the entire time. From the moment I met her at drop-off, she was so welcoming and kind. I also had a medical emergency at the airport and had to change my flight at the last minute. Danika was incredibly accommodating and allowed Jazzy to stay an extra night without hesitation. She responded quickly with genuine care and concern, which meant so much to me during a stressful situation. I truly appreciate her flexibility, professionalism, and kindness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“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.”
“Jennifer is awesome. We have a German short-haired pointer, and he is very high energy and is a handful. But Jennifer does so well with him and Kennon has grown close with her (and perhaps claimed her house as his). Going to keep using Jennifer. Whenever taking trips I have no worries that our pup is in good hands.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Terry was the best!! She understood that I was nervous about leaving my French bulldog puppy - it was the first time we'd ever been separated- and she took extra good care and gave him lots of love and kisses. She also kept in touch with me and provided me pictures of my little guy - even though I was only gone one (1) day?! She is knowledgeable, kind and has a great heart. She will treat your fur baby as if it is her own. Can't say enough good things about Terry!! Except, perhaps that she is my new go-to person when I need someone to take care of Richelieu while I'm outta town. ”
“Radka and her family were very loving and caring towards our puppy. Our puppy was so happy in their care. I'm very appreciative that Radka shared pics every few hours. We're so happy we found her. I'm leaving my puppy with her every time I have to go out of town.”
“Zach and Kelsey were fantastic with my dog! She came home happy after a great stay, and I loved getting photo updates twice during the day. Their care and thoughtfulness made the whole experience easy and worry-free.”
“My dogs loved staying with Vanessa. They’re a bit high strung but she accommodated them, let them settle at their own pace, and kept me updated. She took them to the park to get energy out, cuddled with them on a rainy day, and even gave Jack the toy he loved so much while with her. They came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
“Cindy took great care of our Bella while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures and gave us updates every day. Before we left on our trip, we set up a meet and greet so Bella could meet everyone in the house and the other dogs. We knew she was going to be in great care while we were gone. We will definitely use Cindy again to watch our Bella girl.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and enjoy playing and socializing with them. I have walked other peoples dogs and taken care of friends and neighbors cats. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule. And I can work around your needs. I have a fenced in yard and I have a cat that is used to being around a dog. I love to go on walks and to be outside so I can go on lots of short walks or long walks, whatever is needed. We can run in the backyard off leash if that is preferred.
“We have tried several Rovers - no need to keep looking, our pup will always stay with Robin and yours should too. We had to drop him off with an infected paw, Robin sent lots of pictures, kept it clean, and made sure he got his medication. He came home tired from all the play time but not stressed like he has been when left with other people. Can’t recommend Robin enough!”
“Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“I felt very good about leaving my dog with Amanda. I was gone almost a whole week but because of all the pictures and texts it didn’t seem that long. Amanda will definitely be my go to sitter the next time I need one.”
“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 ❤️”
“Aaron & Jordan are amazing! I’ve boarded my dog, Franklin, with them twice & it has been a great experience both times. They are very communicative, sending lots of pictures & updates which always eases my mind when I’m away from Franklin. Will definitely be rebooking & I couldn’t recommend them more!”

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 Amber Lake 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 Amber Lake.
<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 Amber Lake 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.
