“Ewelina did a great job boarding Deogie! She was flexible, working around my schedule for the pick up and drop off and gave me updates during the visit.”
“Nicole was so kind and accommodating to our anxious pup! Her partner and dog of her own allowed me to feel relaxed and at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of while I went away for a weekend.”
“Sabrina was so great with JohnnyB. This was his second stay with her and he came home well cared for and tired. Sabrina sent regular updates and pictures. It’s so great knowing JB is in good loving hands while I travel.”
“Michael was absolutely fantastic with our pup! Very communicative, took great care of her, and she left her visit happy, healthy and ready to come back again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Danyelle was great! She was communicative & flexible with drop off & pick up and she sent plenty of pictures of my little guy while away. Would definitely recommend her service. Thank you for the peace of mind.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“I felt good leaving my pup with Chai and his family. I appreciated the photos he sent and felt assured that Piper was well cared for and happy. I’d definitely leave her with Chai again. Highly recommend!”
“Trinity was amazing! Cash and her did well at the meet n greet. She informed me of the walk schedule, sent plenty of pictures and even noticed he needed a little extra TLC and jumped right on it. She was patient with his anxiety and even took him to the dog park daily. I look forward to working with Trinity again. Cash loves her!!”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Soj had such a great time with Christian! It was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but Christian took such great care of Soj and made the whole experience so easy. I really appreciated how well she treated Soj and would definitely recommend him! 🐶❤️”
“As always, Rut and her husband took excellent care of Memphis. They are kind, reliable, and truly attentive, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care. We had complete peace of mind knowing Memphis was in such loving and capable hands. We are so thankful for them and highly recommend their care to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust.”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Ruth was an excellent sitter for Smoke. She was very personable, flexible and extremely attentive and focused on making Smoke comfortable. This was the first time Smoke has stayed away from home but Ruth held his paw and heart throughout the experience. Ruth will always be our first choice for Smoke’s sitter, highly recommended.”
“Would highly recommend Shane! This is the first Rover stay where my dog immediately felt comfortable. I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. Shane was quick to respond throughout the booking process and sent daily updates and pictures during her stay. We’ve definitely found our #1!”
“Trevor and Kari were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly accommodating when we needed a sitter on short notice after another arrangement fell through. From the moment we met them, we felt comfortable leaving Kobe in their care while we traveled to Japan for two weeks. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kobe comes with specific feeding instructions and daily medications, and Trevor and Kari did an excellent job making sure all of his needs were met. Most importantly, he was well cared for and received all of the snuggles and attention he demands! We could tell he felt right at home. We are so grateful for their flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We would not hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitters!”

Anna was amazing at taking care of my cat Coco. She was super easy to coordinate with and sent many pictures. My cat loved her and had an amazing time playing and sneaking cuddles! I felt safe being able to go away knowing she was in good hands with Anna. I would 100% rebook for next time .
I think it went well. Koko is a bit needy for attention but seemed to get along fine. Ollie is good with anyone, anywhere. She sent photos while we were gone which made my husband very happy. She was flexible with the drop off and pick up times (my booking gave an approximate time and then we got more specific as the time got closer). I would use her services again.
Amy was fantastic with my cat, Ginger! I was nervous about leaving her for the first time while I was out of town, but Ginger immediately took to Amy and clearly felt comfortable and happy with her. Amy cared for Ginger in her home and kept me updated throughout my trip with regular pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Amy was professional, caring, attentive, and treated Ginger like she was her own. I could tell Ginger was genuinely happy and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely book with her again in the future!
Denise and her family took wonderful care of our dog Judy! We had never booked with them before, but had to book a week-long boarding for our dog with not a lot of notice. I am so relieved we found Denise and her family! Judy was well taken care of and treated as a part of their family. They sent lots of photos and videos and kept us updated on how she was doing. Judy loved playing in their fenced yard! They were very easy to coordinate with and incredibly kind. Will definitely book with them again :)
We have become regulars with Charlie the last few months and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He takes great care of Stewie who clearly loves hanging out with him. I personally appreciate how great Charlie is with his updates and photos so I know how things are going!
This was Major's second time boarding with Morgan and Ethan and he had a blast both times hanging out with them and playing with Porter and Guinness. During his most recent stay, I was delayed in dropping off and picking up Major and, due to being in a rush, forgot to bring his overnight bag. They were incredibly understanding and accommodating, however, even allowing him to use their own dog food and bowls. During both stays, Morgan and Ethan have been extremely responsive and great about providing updates, pictures and, and videos about how Major is doing. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for the peace of mind that their dog is being taken care of by people who truly care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
