“We are so happy to have found Emily- I am no longer concerned about leaving our dog when we go out of town, because Emily sends regular updates and pictures, and we know she's in great hands! Drop off and pick up are a breeze, and our dog wags her tail every time we pull up to the house.”
“Fantastic! John was great with communication before and throughout Manny’s stay. Made sure I was comfortable leaving my baby boy and sent me photos every day. Manny seemed right at home with him, and I was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my boy!”
“Alliyah watched my two whippet boys for an overnight trip and everything went very smoothly. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. My dogs were clearly comfortable and happy with her. Alliyah is friendly, professional, and follows instructions carefully. Your dogs are in great hands with her!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Ollie to stay with anyone and Allison made it a lot easier for us! She sent us pictures of him playing and let us know how he was doing the whole time. We picked him up after being gone a week and he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!”
“We lost track of how many time we’ve gone with Samantha. I think it’s around 9 or 10 now. She’s always the best, is great at communicating with us, and sends us tons of pictures! She’s the absolute best! Look no further for the best in Roanoke for your fur babies.”
“I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.”
“Emily is very professional. Our dogs were very happy with her. Really appreciate the frequent walks and pictures. Our pups stayed on routine as much as possible being away from home. Thanks!”

“Lawdy is an excellent sitter, very sweet and professional! She took care of my two boys like they was here very own, and they absolutely took to her, she gave more that a few daily updates, and that was very very comforting, and when Lawdy returned them to us, you could absolutely tell Brutus and Zeus was happy. They would run to us then back to her, I can’t say enough thank you’s to her… we highly recommend her and I will be using her services in the future”
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“Falen took great care of my older girl when she was not feeling her best. She came home seeming content and balanced, without signs of overstimulation or boredom. I loved knowing that she was in a family environment for the week, instead of a sterile boarding facility feeling abandoned. The daily communication was comforting and they managed her medical needs well. I would book here again for overnights or a daytime stay. Thanks guys!”
“Erin and Matthew were amazing! Their communication is great and it looks like our pup had such a good time with them! I highly recommend them and will definitely use their services again!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals and homes. I know pets are family, and I take my role as their temporary favorite human pretty seriously! I have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable giving medications, managing special feeding routines, and respecting very strong opinions about where to nap. If your pet needs care that’s new to me, I’m happy to learn and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to help you relax while you’re away, knowing your pets are getting thoughtful care, plenty of affection, and regular reminders that they’re the cutest creatures on the planet. I am currently wide open and looking to help out whenever it is needed. Until further notice I can be available any day, any time. I have three cats, and my senior kitties each have their own needs. One of my girls has asthma, so giving her an inhaler is part of our routine. I’ve also owned dogs and other animals, so my love definitely goes beyond cats! My cats have very different personalities, and they’re a daily reminder that every pet needs their own kind of care and attention. Some want snuggles, some want playtime, and some would appreciate it if you respected their very important personal space. I love meeting new pets and taking the time to earn their trust. When caring for your pets, I’ll follow their usual routines and your instructions for meals, medications, and daily care. I’ll pay attention to what makes them comfortable and let them warm up at their own pace. Whether they want a cuddle buddy or just some quiet company, I’m happy to be their person while you’re away.

“Elise was absolutely amazing! Our pup didn’t want to leave! Elisa had great communication and even cooked eggs for him when he wouldn’t eat. Our pup got along great with Lennie too, I got so many pics of them playing! I highly recommend Elise and we will definitely be using her services 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.
96% of sitters in Bedford 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 Bedford 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 Bedford.
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 Bedford. On Rover:
- 93% 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 Bedford 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.
