“Having had a great experience with Matt walking my senior pup, I had him care for her for several days while I was out of town. He was patient with her as she adjusted to a new environment and made sure her needs were met. He’s got a great set up for dogs as well, and they can be comfortable anywhere in the house. Highly recommend - I will book him again! Thanks Matt!”

She even accommodated me when my flight was delayed and the drop off time changed last minute. She really went above and beyond and I couldn’t be more grateful. She sent me photos and kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend if you want 5 star care for your pup Gwen is the way to go! I would definitely let her watch Chloe again. Not having to stress while I was away from my puppy was amazing bc I knew she was in great hands.”

He eve stayed with her for a full two weeks during our wedding and we could not be more grateful. He always comes home so happy and obviously well cared for. In the past when we left him other places he would be anxious and need to re acclimate for a day or two… but with Su he is just his same, happy self, like nothing changed. Thank you for everything Su!!! 💛”

About: I have three dogs of my own, ranging from 5 years old to my sweet senior, so I’m very used to different personalities, energy levels, and needs. They’re currently at my home out of state while I’m temporarily staying in the area, and I miss having them around more than I expected! I figured one of the best ways to spend some of my extra time here is helping other people care for their pets and getting some much-needed dog time in the process. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pets. Let me know what your pet needs and I’ll take care of them. I’m also very comfortable with senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little more patience or prefer to do things at their own pace. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with lots of love, attention, and respect for the fact that they’re part of your family. I do work during the week, so I want to be upfront about what you and your pet can expect from me. On weekdays, I’ll make sure your dog gets a walk in the morning before I start my day, followed by two walks in the evening and plenty of attention and playtime once I’m home. I’m happy to maintain their normal feeding and bedtime routines as well. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, even while I’m at work. Weekends are all for loving on your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. Dogs in my care will always be leashed anytime we are outside or on a walk, no exceptions. Let me know if there are any special needs or quirks I should know about. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will always respect your pet’s personality and boundaries. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention.

Derek and his wife were excellent hosts for our dog, Kiri. They managed her anxiety medication well and provided helpful daily updates. We also had Derek visit our cat and feed her wet food, but he went above and beyond by playing with the cat every day. That level of care was greatly appreciated.

is was our first time leaving Mae with someone outside our circle of friends and neighbors, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Shanna and her family were incredibly welcoming, and Mae absolutely loved their large backyard. Mae can be a little skittish in new environments, but within five minutes of arriving, she was already playing with Shanna's dog! Throughout our trip, Shanna sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Mae was happy and having a great time. By the time we brought her home, she was completely worn out from all the fun! We're so glad we found Shanna and her family. She'll absolutely be one of our go-to sitters in the future. Highly recommend!

Karen was able to watch my dog on short notice for an emergency, and she relieved all my worries! She was attentive to my dog, followed all of his care instructions, and took him outside plenty of times. She was able to calm my dog’s separation anxiety while I was away.

Eva was such a great sitter for Naomi! I loved how comfortable Naomi seemed in her home, which made me feel so much better while we were away. Eva sent daily updates throughout Naomi’s stay, and I really appreciated being able to see how she was doing. I also loved that we were able to meet Eva for about 30 minutes a few days before Naomi’s scheduled stay. It gave all of us a chance to get comfortable with each other before leaving Naomi with her for the weekend, and that honestly sealed the deal for me! I’m so glad I found Eva on Rover and will definitely be using her again from here on out. 💕🐾

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 Belle Haven 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 Belle Haven.

<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 Belle Haven 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.
