“Ray is very knowledgeable & takes great care of the dogs in his care. I joked with my family that our dog looked the happiest we’ve ever seen her in the pictures he sent. We will 100% book with Ray again in the future”
“Deborah and Leanne (and Lotus!) took wonderful care of our Vader this past weekend! They were super accommodating and communicative. They sent updates and photos of Vader enjoying his stay. For the holiday, they even dressed him in a festive bandana and treated him to pup cups and puppy ice cream! We will definitely book with their family again.”
“This was our first time using a sitter from Rover, and Valerie absolutely set the bar sky-high. Forget the cold, impersonal vibe of a boarding facility—this felt more like sending our pup on his own little vacation. I could tell he was cared for, loved, and getting VIP-level attention the entire time. Valerie’s home is basically a doggy paradise—plenty of room, plenty of playmates, and plenty of love. She kept us stocked with adorable photos of our pup playing with his new four-legged friends, which was the perfect vacation update for us. It was so calming to know our doggo was in such great hands while we were away. Valerie clearly loves what she does, and the dogs love her right back. We’re so glad we found her—and so is our pup!”
“Our dog Penny really enjoyed her stay at Liane’s! Liane sent photos of Penny to me while we were out of town and I knew Penny was in great hands. We will use Liane again. Super easy drop off and pick up.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Baxter received from Elisa and James! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with them, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But they immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Elisa and James kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. They were attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. Thank you, Elisa and James, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We're so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“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! ❤️”
“Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.”

“Alyse is wonderful with Nalu, and I can tell she takes great care of her. She seems like a happy pup after coming home! I always receive updates and photos from Alyse throughout the visits which is always appreciated 😊 thank you!”
“Victoria was so great with my new puppy. Bad timing led me to to have to leave my puppy for a few days just after adopting him. Victoria has an amazing daycare setup and immediately put me at ease. She gave me some great advice about raising a puppy too as it’s been many years since I’ve had a puppy! Thanks Victoria!”

“We were sooo lucky to find Kristen as she is so super friendly and easygoing. We had to plan a last-minute trip (stressful!) but Kristen's flexibility and kindness immediately made everything so much easier for us. She helped arrange a meet n greet despite our time constraints, and when we met her we knew she would be perfect. Kristen was super sweet and sensitive to our pup’s specific needs. When they got caught in a total downpour, she actually took the time to blow dry his fur so he wouldn’t be cold or miserable. That kind of care brought us relief as we knew he was well cared for and happy! Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and sent us photos daily. In one pic he looked blissed out napping on her legs. Love! It was clear that her main priority was making sure our dog was happy. That meant so much to us, and we will definitely be back!”
“Maria is wonderful with our pup Piper. She sends me frequent updates and treats Piper like her own. She is very communicative and friendly! I am so grateful to have found Maria on Rover!”
“Meghan fit our 3 dogs in super short notice. The dogs did great with her and her family! Her dog is super chill and our old man (who can have issues when dogs pay him too much attention) seemed totally fine with him 😁 overall it was a great experience, thanks so much Meghan!!”
“Karen has watched Ruby & Albert a couple of times & she is fabulous. She takes them for lots of walks and snuggles them. Plus she is great communicating with us and telling us how they are doing. Karen is wonderful.”
“Christina has taken care of our dog Maggie for almost 2 years. She is good about playing with her and keeping her cool in the hot months. I appreciate Christina's flexibility”
“We left our Ginny with Shaheen for about 12 days. We had done a lot of research and did one trial day (partly to see how things went and partly we hoped to help Ginny know we will be back) with Shaheen before our trip. We chose Shaheen because he seemed positive, alert and joyful, and because he had experience with reactive dogs and could protect Ginny well and keep her in a low stress environment (boarding in kennels was not an option). Of course we were nervous, but I can tell by Ginny's personality, mood and behaviors since our return a few days ago that she did pretty well with Shaheen. I believe that he did provide good care for Ginny. She gained 3 pounds, though, so we are working that off her. Ha ha, I feel good knowing Shaheen managed Ginny's extreme energy and pestering little sister behavior with extra treats instead of locking her in a crate. She is really quite a handful and Shaheen handled her well.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Eun and he absolutely loves it there. He had a great time playing with her dogs. She sends lots of photos and videos, which really puts us at ease, and she’s super responsive to any questions. Thank you Eun!”

I am so grateful that Kristen agreed to sit my pup last minute. From the moment I dropped Blaize off, I knew he would be in good hands. Kristen was kind and proactively asked questions about how to take care of him. She sent regular updates and I could tell he was getting lots of love & attention. He seemed calm & relaxed when I picked him up, which is always a good sign. Would definitely book Kristen again!
Alexa was amazing!! Communication was so easy from start to finish, and she took such great care of my puppy! She kept me updated throughout the entire process, which really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated how attentive and caring she was. Thank you so much, Alexa!! Highly recommend! ❤️
My pups had an amazing time with Deborah and she is our regular sitter. I know Oreo and Charlie are well cared for and they have the best time playing at Deborah’s. We are so blessed to have met her and she is the best sitter by far I’ve ever trusted to watch my dogs. We love her!
Daphne & Maria were absolutely amazing to our girls! This was a first time booking for us and they were so wonderful & made us feel so comfortable. They gave us regular updates, sent lots of photos, & since it was our wedding weekend, this helped me feel at ease so much that they were in such wonderful hands!!! She was truly wonderful & I couldn’t recommend booking her enough.
Rachel was outstanding! I always get so nervous finding a new sitter for our two pups but the minute I stepped into Rachel’s home I was set at ease. Her neighborhood is extremely dog friendly. She gave plenty of updates and pictures and my dogs had a blast. Hand off was also a breeze both at drop off and pick up. I couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely book again.
The only one happier during and after a stay with Bugra is our dog, Chewie. I’ve lost all of my pet parent paranoia because he receives such high quality care with photos, updates, questions about changes in routine. It has really changed how we feel about traveling, or even having weekend events, knowing we have someone we totally trust with him. Could not recommend higher! And from the photos we got this weekend - neither could he.
Ella took amazing care of Arya! She kept us updated throughout the stay with frequent updates and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. She made sure Arya got plenty of playtime and attention, and truly went above and beyond to treat her like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Ella again.
Katie and Adam provided our Shaka with an outstanding experience and loving home while we were on travel. This is our second time using Katie and Adam. He remembered Katie from last time and felt at ease with the family. She kept us current on his separation from us with pictures throughout the day which we always appreciated. She prepared his meals with care and made sure he was on time with his nature breaks. Shaka was comfortable with Ollie, their dog and appreciated the family’s embrace of our Shaka. We definitely will recommend Katie and Adam and will use them again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Ashburn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Ashburn 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 Ashburn.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashburn. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ashburn 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
