“Amy took really good care of a 4 month old pug puppy sort of last minute and we are so appreciative! She sent many pictures and videos throughout the day which helped put us at ease. Your dog will be cared for and loved on here.”
“We were a little concerned when we left our puppy with Cindy as it was his first time away from us for so long. However, Cindy took real good care of him and sent us lot of pics to keep us updated. Looks like Ace had lot of fun with her. We will definitely consider her again for our next vacation. Highly recommended!”
“Peyton did an awesome job sending pictures and keeping me informed. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have had pets personally and cared for friends & neighbors pets for several years. My partner and I’s sweet fur baby Tito passed away this past September and I am looking to be around pets without the commitment of pet-parenthood again quite yet! I am self-employed with a non-traditional job so I have plenty of weekday and evening flexibility! My family lives in Richmond area so I also do not typically travel around holidays. I will treat your fur baby like my own and hope to give them some comfort and love so you can do what’s important to you outside the home.
“Moses had a great time with Wylie. Wylie was great at sending photos and videos of Moses throughout his stay. He always looked happy and having a great time. Highly recommend.”
“Pamela and Paul (and their dog Marlowe) are fantastic! They took amazing care of our pup, Riley. We did a meet and greet before our booking, and it was so nice to meet them and see how our pups would get along. It’s clear that they take this job very seriously and truly care about the pups as if they were their own. They have a lovely home with a fenced in backyard that the pups can run around in, and they let Riley sleep in their bed. 😊 Highly recommend!”
“So thankful that Jonathan was able to keep my boys! He was very communicative and accommodating! He provided pictures and videos. I can tell that Roscoe and Nico enjoyed themselves on their “vacation”. I will absolutely use him again and recommend him to anyone!”
“They took great care of our large dog and followed extra care precautions he needed. We were never worried as we got a picture daily with an update. Thanks again and we will use you again soon!!”
“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”
“This is my second time with Shakita and she did an amazing job as always!! She pays close attention to my Yorkie and he loves going over there. Definitely book if you’re considering!!”
“Shulamit was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She was extremely flexible, sent me picture updates, and taught me something new to use for Mia. Your pet is in good hands with this sitter!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blue Star Estates
I was very happy with Matt from start to finish they were punctual, communicative, and clearly know how to care for dogs. They sent regular updates and photos so I could see NuNu, which put me at ease while I was away. I’d definitely book them again and recommend them to other pet owners.
Sue (and her sweet lab Milo) were amazing! My girls haven't stayed at someone's house in a while, but they were so well taken care of. Milo immediately welcomed them to the pack and Sue did a great job of keeping them happy. I highly recommend Sue and Milo and I know my girls look forward to staying with them again!

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 Blue Star Estates 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 Blue Star Estates.
<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 Blue Star Estates 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.
