“I was really nervous because this was the first time I had someone else watch Cooper, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They let me walk around the house, answered all my questions beforehand, and even little things like having rugs on the hardwood made me feel better about him being there. She was very communicative the whole time and sent a bunch of pictures and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she and her husband truly care and make the pets they watch feel like part of their family. Cooper seemed to settle in well and came home happy. I’d absolutely book with them again.”
“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”

“I'm so pleased with how well Veronica cared for Baxter. He made new friends and I think he's a little bummed to be home! When I arrived to pick him up she was taking him and her dog for a nice walk, we passed them on the way to her house. He looked happy. I have no complaints and would use her again.”
“Amazing sitter who kept in constant contact. Truffles was so happy when I got him, and I could tell that he had an excellent time! I've been with rover for many years and this person is definitely in the top sitter category for me!”
“Carlos was amazing! I was nervous to leave Coco with a sitter but Carlos was kind, patient and an obvious dog lover. He kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and stories of what she was doing. I absolutely plan on using him for future trips!”
“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”
“Mary went above and and beyond for my Vishaad. She sent updates of their activities and pictures as well. I felt very comfortable with her looking over my pup and would love to have her sit Vishaad again. Mary ensure Vishaad had ample attention and activities throughout the day. Thank you”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jona. She is kind, patient, and took the time to truly understand our dogs' needs and routine. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Jona is incredibly attentive, not just to our dog, but to all the dogs in her care, and creates a warm, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. We would happily book with Jona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Susan was great with our dog Duke - easy to coordinate a meet and greet, super nice and accommodating to different dog styles. She only takes one new dog at a time to make sure there's not too much chaos. Her husband is also very nice! Duke made his way into their bed by the end of the stay, they really treat your dog like their own and you get plenty of picture updates :)
Thank you Asia for taking good care of Dollar! It was his first visit there, but I’m sure it won’t be his last. From the moment when did the meet & greet, he seemed very comfortable and acted as if was right at home. He is normally a little timid initially, but not with Asia. Thank you again.
Charlie had a wonderful stay with Prisila. She and her family were very attentive to Charlie's needs, especially since he is a senior dog and had some issues where she needed to make sure he didn't injure his back. Charlie was happy during the entire stay and came home very content. I look forward to continuing to leave Charlie with Prisila and would recommend her to other dog owners of senior dogs!
Ashley was a great sitter, very attentive and followed instructions well! Our dog’s allergies were giving him problems while he stayed with her and she promptly sent us photos and asked if he should be given his extra medication, which she administered with no problems. We felt reassured knowing our dog was in capable hands!
We are so very pleased to have found Helena and Nathan to take care of our little Sheltie, “Crystal”, when we go away. They are caring, experienced, and provide great daily updates and pictures/videos. Also, their home and property is ideal for dog boarding and doggie exercise. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again to pet-sit our four-legged baby.
Wonderful stay and a very kind family. I would request leaving my dog with them again with no hesitation. Proactively asked questions if there was even the slightest unknown as to how to best care for her. Frequent photos and detailed status updates that made a point of addressing my dogs quirks, reassuring me that all was well. She came home happy and adjusted easily.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Annandale sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Annandale landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Annandale 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 Annandale.
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.
You and your Annandale 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.
