“Ali did an amazing job watching our pup for five days! Cooper is an eight month old morkie who is going through a skittish phase with new people. Ali and her family put him right at ease and updated me with photos throughout the week. I could tell he was relaxed and felt right at home! Staying with a family was a much better option for Cooper than a kennel. I would highly recommend Ali and will be using her services again!”
“This was the first time my dog stayed with a dog sitter and it was a great experience for both me and my dog! I could see the attention and care she gave to my dog with the updates throughout the day. I have complete trust in Eun Ha and would highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rocky overnight! He clearly enjoyed his stay, loved spending time with you all, and felt so comfortable that it seemed like a second home to him. We truly appreciate your love and care for him!”
“I was completely impressed with Lydia from the very first meet ‘n greet with our Harper. She is very attentive, shares lots of photos and is great with communication. Would leave Harper with her any time.”
“Millie had so much fun at Ray’s house with Penny! Penny is such a sweet/gentle dog but matched Millie’s play style so well. There was a decent amount of updates/pictures and from that I knew Ray treated Millie like his own. He is super thorough and makes sure to really know the dog and their routine before even boarding. I will definitely be using Ray again in the future!”
“Tatiana took care of my dog very well. She stayed for 6 days and I received her photo every day with other boarding dogs, I was very well informed. She took care of her daily routines and I would highly recomend her.”
“Sampada was amazing, and Cocoa had a wonderful stay with her! She kept us updated by sending multiple photos and videos throughout Cocoa's stay, which gave us great peace of mind and made us so happy to see how comfortable and well cared for she was. Before the stay, Sampada took the time to understand Cocoa's needs and preferences, and she made sure every one of them was met. She also took Cocoa on long walks, which Cocoa absolutely loved. It was clear that Sampada genuinely cared for her and treated her like her own. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Sampada to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive.”
“Our dog Ginger had a great time on her vacation. We would recommend Jennifer to anyone who is looking for a safe place for their fur babies. Jennifer was a good communicator, and she immediately put our minds at ease.”
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“Kaylyn and Naman are fantastic pet sitters. They treated our Huskey like family and she loved her stay. I would definitely rebook! Thanks-for taking such good care of our Lily.”
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”
“Katrina was just wonderful with my pups. They loved her. I would encourage anyone to not hesitate! She treats your dogs like they are her own. Lots of pictures too!”
“Our Riley had a fantastic time with Jessica and her family! Jessica kept us updated on how she was doing and sent us lots of pictures! We felt comfortable leaving our furry family member while we were away. We would definitely love to have Jessica dog sit again!”
“Aysin took really good care of my dog Fidel! He was very calm when I picked him up which means he was treated very well. I am very happy to have found a place near my house where I would feel comfortable leaving my dog for boarding again.”
“Monami is the best! She is very sweet and maintained communication throughout the duration of his stay. My dog was treated very well, and I never had to worry about his safety. I used to take my dog to a kennel, but I will never do that again. I have found the best person that I trust to take care of my precious dog.”
“Smitha is a very sweet and wonderful dog sitter. Asher enjoyed his time there with her family. We didn’t have to worry about him while we were away. He got along with her dog. And her kids loved Asher too.”

We had a wonderful experience with Sudha watching Coco for 10 days! Sudha sent us multiple photos and videos twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout his stay. Coco came home looking clean and well cared for, and he got along really well with her pup, Thor! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We’d happily book with her again! ❤️
Vidhi did an excellent job taking care of Tater! She sent daily updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. We came home to one happy and completely tuckered-out pup! It’s safe to say Tater had an amazing weekend with Vidhi and Leo! Will definitely contact her again in the future!
I just can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Katrina. It was just like leaving my two sibling Schnauzers with trusted family. It is obvious that she loves dogs and my pups were instantly comfortable around her. Katrina asked many questions about the pups prior to their stay, so I was very comfortable that she was very invested in their well being. She also has many friends and family that came to love on the pups, and I know they were well comforted, taken care off and entertained. She sent me many pictures and updates to assure me that the pups were comfortable in their surroundings. She lives in such a beautiful area with many nice walking trails which they loved. I will definitely be using Katrina in the future as my pet sitter!!
This was my first time leaving my little girl and I was a bit anxious about it. From the time I had my meet and greet with Jennifer to the time I picked her up Jennifer has been super flexible and very responsive. She sent me the greatest pics and allowed me to enjoy the vacation without a worry. I have a feeling she was sad to go home 😊.
Kim was incredible with our Mini Goldendoodle (Biscuit) this past weekend! She was super responsive and easy to coordinate with from the start and being here in Brambleton made drop-off and pick-up seamless. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, and you could tell immediately how much affection and attention she gave Biscuit. She even took Biscuit along for a fun afternoon at a local winery! On top of that, Biscuit made a new friend with her dog, Buddy. Biscuit came home thoroughly spoiled, super happy, and honestly a little sad to leave. It’s such a relief finding a local sitter you can completely trust to treat your dog like family. Highly recommend!!!
Jenny was amazing. To begin with, she and her family are just super nice. Jenny sent us pictures of our dogs every day taking walks and enjoying the home environment. The main thing that gets Jenny 5 stars is that our dogs are super attached to us and their daily routines, but when we picked them up, they were happy, content and not anxious at all. While we talked a bit, the dogs took turns going between us and Jenny and her husband to get attention. We could not have asked for them to be in better spirits after a full week away. Thank you, Jenny.
We could not be happier with the care our Goldendoodle received! Our pup is a bundle of endless energy, and Nitin handled that high-spirited enthusiasm with incredible patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Nitin's communication throughout the stay was prompt and reliable, keeping us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog sitter and will definitely be booking again!
Phil and his wife were amazing! We highly recommend. They provided a wonderful environment for our dog, Remy. They were very responsive and communicative, making sure everything was smooth and easy for us and our dog. Phil was also very flexible with the timing, as we had a very early morning flight--which we appreciated! They sent us great pics while we were away and made sure Remy was well taken care of. Remy was in fantastic hands. We will 100% use Phil and his wife again when we go out of town!
Such nice people! They did a great job watching my rescue pitty and were very communicative. They took care of my Lunas tail after she got happy tail right before leaving. Their doggy Lola is also very sweet and helped my dog get comfortable as well. I would totally book with them again!

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 Arcola 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 Arcola.
<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 Arcola 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.
