“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Extremely pleased with her service! Kept me updated with videos and pics throughout the visit. Definitely will utilize her services in the future - my baby was happy with his stay!!”
“This was Meeshie’s first time away from us and Laurie did an awesome job caring for her. She sent photos and texts letting us know how Meeshie was doing everyday. We are so glad we found a caring/ loving caregiver for our dog and will definitely book Laurie whenever we need someone to look after Meeshie.”
“Linda and her entire family cared for my Snoop as he was their own. This was my first time ever leaving him with anyone other than our own family (in 14 years), I am happy and appreciative that our experience was an awesome one. Photos, videos, and daily updates had been provided.”
“Jorge and his family were the perfect match for us and our dog Nova! They sent us pictures and videos and made sure she got enough snuggles and play time every day. We will recommend them to friends and will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town. :)”
“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”
“Heather is amazing! She watched over my dog for about a week. My dog has food allergies and is on a prescription diet. Heather followed directions and provided updates by communicating throughout her stay. I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Rosalina was amazing! She saved our life as we had an emergency which had us looking for a puppy sitter last minute and Rosalina responded within 10 minutes and quickly agreed to watch our puppy. Her family was so welcoming, she sent pictures every few hours with updates, and responded fast if u asked any questions. We will for sure reach out to Rosalina for any future needs!”
“Dayonna was absolutely fantastic! She kept me updated on Kahlua. Kahlua was very nervous and she immediately took her for a long walk to calm her down. I would definitely recommend Dayonna's services. She's thoughtful, responsible, and professional.”
About: I've had taken care of animals for over 20 plus years. Im also a certified vet assistant as well. Love all animals and would love to meet yours! Im currently unemployed so I would be able to do anytime of the day. I do have 2 chihuahuas of my own as well that I absolutely adore. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard at my home but I do take my dogs out regularly on leash. But they also have free roam of the entire house.
“I am so grateful to Rebecca. She was willing to accept a senior dog with medical needs pretty last minute. She was super kind and helpful when meeting, and she gives plenty of updates while you're away. I have nothing but praise for her, as my dog had a medical emergency while in her care and she was able to notice it early based on behavior alone. It ended up that I came back and had to put the dog down as it was her time to go, but thanks to her I had time to say goodbye. I would trust her with any pet, and I will always be grateful for how she cared for my old girl. - Kaitlyn (mom of Gerti)”
“Vickie did a great job taking care of my dog, Rocky! A friend was supposed to dog-sit for me but fell through the night before I was going out of town. This was my first time trying Rover, and I was lucky to find Vickie. She responded quickly to all of my messages, from my initial request all the way through Rocky’s stay. Rocky was comfortable there and was clearly happy when I picked him up. He especially enjoyed having a nice fenced-in yard to run around in. I will definitely contact Vickie again when I travel!”
“Shadow had thee best time staying with Seyla! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in great hands and being kept abreast of the walks and feedings definitely gave me peace of mind. Shadow got to socialize with other dogs and got plenty of daily exercise! Because he was walked in the woods and forest, he did bring home about 5 or 6 ticks but I will get him on a preventative in hopes that it will help for future visits with Seyla. As a fellow dog sitter/walker myself, I highly recommend Seyla and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!!!”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“Lana was amazing with my dogs! I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups at the last minute and she was nice enough to help me out. She is such a nice and genuine person that loves animals! My pups were very comfortable staying with her. Thank you Lana 🙏🏽”
“The experience with Sonja and Phil was absolutely amazing. They Communicate well and quickly! Enzo was loved on like their own. They even ordered and installed a broken buckle on his collar while we were gone! We will definitely be using them many times in the future 🙂”
“Rachel was an amazing dog sitter. I truly have an extremely energetic Doberman, and Rachel handled her like a champ. That can’t be said about just any dog caregiver. Thanks Rachel. Extremely professional, flexible and reliable. 5 stars from me!”
“Candace was fantastic! Frankie loved it over there. He got along really well with her dog, Tyson. He was worn out when we came back from all the running around they did in the backyard. Her family is very kind and her kids loved Frankie too. Can’t recommend enough. Will be looking to book w/ Candace again next time we need an overnight sitter for Frankie.”
“Erin was especially delightful and attentive to our pup. I knew we made the right choice from the moment my wife and I were greeted. Erin and her husband politely introduced themselves and then gave us a brief tour of her home, reassuring us that the environment was safe and pet friendly. Our dog is especially shy, but took to Erin almost instantly. During the days spent away, Erin took the initiative to send us plenty of photos and briefly updated us on how our dog was acclimating to her home. This was especially appreciated because our dog is high energy, sensitive, and on medication. When we went to pick up our pup, he was both excited to see us and exhausted from the time spent bonding with Erin’s family and her dogs. Erin, thank you for opening your home up to Beau. You are very trustworthy, and accountable and it really shows in the way you cared for our pup.”
“Carlos provides outstanding service, attention to detail and love for the pets he is boarding. We received multiple daily updates and fotos of our French Bulldog, I highly recommend his boarding service for your pet. He is best! Thanks, Carlos!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aquia Harbour
I needed a last minute sitter in Stafford and did not want to leave my puppy at a big dog boarding facility or the vet where pets are often left alone. Thankfully, Vickie got back to me right away, and I’m so glad she did! She has a beautiful fenced-in yard tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where Penny was able to run around freely and even got to socialize with another dog she was boarding. Vickie quickly responded to me whenever I reached out to check on Penny and took excellent care of her, even reaching out to me to confirm her feeding routine. It was wonderful being able to go about my busy weekend knowing my puppy would be cared for by such a responsible and experienced sitter. Penny absolutely loved staying with Vickie, and when I am in need of a sitter again, she will be the one I call!
Couldn’t be happier with Jorge and his family for taking awesome care of my pups. I received pictures videos and communication while away which put my mind at ease. The pups seemed to really love them and were happy puppies while I was gone. I would definitely book with Jorge again. Thank you.
Tiffany is truly the best pet sitter out there. From her expertise in customer service to me as the owner and to the way she clearly cares about my dog as her own, you can’t go wrong with working with her. From day one (~3.5 years ago), I’ve always had positive interactions with her. That’s why I’ve remained with her for so long. She goes out of her way to ensure we’re in as much (or as little) communication based upon what I’m requesting at that time. She sends pictures/videos upon request, text updates, and even supplies extra treats…. Needless to say, my pup is absolutely spoiled by her and her amazing family!
Brenda took exceptional care of our little Yorkie, Rosie, for 9 days while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending us photos and videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was the first time we’ve ever had a pet sitter provide that level of communication, and it truly made all the difference. It was clear Rosie was loved, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
Alice was Professional and so kind! She assured us that our dog would be ok and took great care of her during our stay away. We don't usually have our dog stay with someone she doesn't know so this was a bit of a new experience for us. I would definitely recommend Alice for the future.
Michelle was absolutely wonderful watching our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures, took our pup on walks, and truly treated her like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was being cared for so well. We were extremely happy with Michelle’s services and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

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 Aquia Harbour 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 Aquia Harbour.
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 Aquia Harbour 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.
