“Another GREAT experience with Stephen. He is super communicative, attentive and on top of all the dogs' needs. He watched our two girls for a week - they had a great time and I know they were so well taken care of. Stephen has become our go to, first choice sitter for our fur-babies.”
“Lovely house and neighborhood. Great yard. Very kind and gentle with my dog. Followed care instructions. Great communication and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommend”
“I'm a bit late with this review of Amber's exceptional care of my fur baby Satue. I knew Satue was in greats hands when I dropped her off. Satue couldn't wait to jump into Amber's hands...LOL. She loves ❤️ Amber one of Amber's dogs who is now Satue's best fur friend ❤️ So adorably cute! Thankbyou Amber for always taking great care of my Satue ❤❤”
“Jen was great with our super skiddish dog who doesn’t have much experience with other animals or people but Jen ensured she would do great! I got pics everyday and she’s so quick to respond! Definitely rebooking with her in the future!”
“I picked up my pup about an hour ago, and he is already passed out from his fun weekend with Amy! Amy is great, she sent me pictures of my dog throughout the weekend and took great care of him! I will definitely be booking with her again :) I love that she hosts other dogs at the same time, because my dog gets so much play time”
“Heather did an awesome job watching our chocolate lab for a weekend. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would do it again in a heartbeat. She sent us numerous pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. This was our first experience with Rover and I would definitely recommend Heather if you need someone to watch your dog”
“This was Roxy's first stay with Christopher and she came back worn out which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to see that he has a safe method for the dogs to run and roan without disappearing. Appreciate Christopher taking such good care of Roxy and will definitely book with him again.”
“Zach and Kelsey were fantastic with my dog! She came home happy after a great stay, and I loved getting photo updates twice during the day. Their care and thoughtfulness made the whole experience easy and worry-free.”
“I really appreciate Crystal agreeing to watch Atlas for me at the last minute! She was great at communicating and made drop off and pick up very easy. I would definitely feel comfortable asking her to watch Atlas again in the future!”
“Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.”
About: I have 2+ years of doggy daycare experience and am a certified dog groomer. I am pet CPR & First Aid certified. I am dedicated to making your pets feel safe and comfortable and giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy your trips! I work full time as a dog groomer, however my job is a 2 minute drive up the road so I come home mid-day to let all my dogs out. Before I leave and once I get home from work I give all dogs plenty of playtime! I have a fenced in yard and 3 small dogs to keep your pup company. There are no kids in the house, and the house is completely pet proof!
“When I pull up to their house, My dog makes joyful sounds, jumping with joy & excitement because she loves to hang out with Pam, Paul & Marlowe. She’s very happy there.”
About: Hi there! Backed by a professional background in grooming and large-scale facility work, I offer your pup the kind of specialized care they deserve. My small-scale, personal approach ensures every dog gets dedicated attention in a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home setting. Guests enjoy a fully climate-controlled indoor space featuring their own designated area and personal cot to relax and sleep soundly. Plus, a built-in doggy door gives them 24/7 access to a secure, 3,000-square-foot outdoor run within my fully fenced yard (cameras coming soon!). Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your fur baby stays comfy, cozy, and completely pampered. With years of experience in large-scale facilities caring for over 150 dogs at once, we bring big-facility safety standards to a warm, personal setting where your pup is always our top priority. We provide around-the-clock care in a secure, home-based setting tailored specifically for canine comfort. Unlike high-volume commercial facilities, our setup limits capacity to ensure every dog gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a cozy resting spot.
“Jayanna went above, and beyond to accommodate me from my 1st last minute request at 5.a.m., to keeping my Kenny an extra few hrs because I had an accident that even called for an ambulance, and was still available to have him ready at 12:30 a.m. so we could get on the Hwy heading towards Texas. She was the Greatest. $40 tip along with the extra hours into a paid full day day was a drop in the bucket for someone a kind, sweet, and caring with animals, and clients as she's proben to be! 🥰”
“Geneva and her husband took great care of Peka while I was on vacation. I will definitely use them again when I go out of town. I got loads of pictures and updates about Peka and she went for lots of walks and runs.”

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.
96% of sitters in Balty 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 Balty 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 Balty.
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 Balty. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Balty 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.
