âJust wanted to say thank you for being amazing and watching Akira. Thank you for the updates in video and pictures. Thank you for allowing Akira to stay with you this week and make it her home. We appreciate you.â
âRichard and his family were the perfect fit for our dog, Honey! Honey is a 15 year old, small dog who has recently gone deaf. She struggles with other dogs and I was having a hard time finding someone who would only take one dog at a time. Then I found Richard! Honey felt right at home with them. I loved the picture and video updates each night. She returned home happy, healthy and ready to play. Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet old girl!â

âFirst time using rover. I was looking for a in home dog sitter for my dog for 1 week. So i was recommended by a friend to download the Rover app for first time instead of boarding at a facility because of his age. I am So pleased with Sarahi, She did so amazing with my senior dog. He had so much love and attention & cuddles. I was also sent daily pictures of my dog Doing different activities. She did such an amazing job tending to our dog booger. We will definitely be using her services again â¤ď¸ thank you Sarahi for looking after Boogerâ
âI will 1000% be working with Kathleen again in the future. Sheâs incredibly nice and caring for all animals. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and my dog Pepper absolutely adores her. Even with my flight being delayed nearly 4 times, she remained patient with me and made the entire process very smooth. Thank you again Kathleen!!! đâ
âJames and Iryna were absolutely amazing with my dog, Rey, while I was away in Japan for two weeks. From the very start, their communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. They responded quickly to messages and kept me updated every single day with photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing Rey was happy and well cared for. Rey looked so comfortable and content in every update, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. It was obvious they treated her like part of their family. When I came back, Rey was her usual happy self, and it was clear sheâd been in great hands. I would absolutely trust James and Iryna to watch Rey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitters.â
âBarry and Cheryl are so wonderful! They take fantastic care of Zoe! Sheâs a quirky senior pup who likes people on her terms. Barry and Cheryl are patient with her and give her time and space to be herself. After spending time with Barry and Cheryl, Zoe comes home relaxed and content. This was Zoeâs second stay with them. For future trips, Barry and Cheryl will be my first choice as sitters for Zoe!â
âShe is AMAZING. She cared for Mario and loved him like he was hers while watching him for 17 days!! Thank you so much, Kasandra- words cannot express how thankful I am to you!!!â
âAlyse was great! She watched our 1 year old Yorkie for a weekend and was super quick to respond, very easy to coordinate with, and took great care of our dog who can certainly be a lot to handle with his puppy energy and sometimes excessive barking. Thank you again Alyse!â
âThank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!â
âThis was Snoopyâs first time away from me over night and he did just fine. I did not worry at all about him because Rachel quickly answered my text inquires and sent pictures. This made me feel so much better about leaving him. I will definitely book with Rachel again! Snoopy liked her too!!! ?â
âWe couldnât be happier with the care Leslie provided for our dog, Siku, over the 9 days we were away. From the very beginning, Leslie was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease leaving Siku in her care. Throughout our trip, Leslie kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Siku was not only well cared for, but also happy and comfortable. When we returned, Siku was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given lots of attention and love. Leslie truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitterâand we will definitely be booking with her again!â
âAastha and her family cared for my dog, Pepper, for four and a half days, and I was blown away by the love and attention they gave her. They played with her every day, took her on multiple walks, and sent me daily pictures of their outings. They even included her in their Halloween fun and dressed her up in a costume! I couldnât be happier with the care they provided. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving hands. Iâll definitely book with Aastha again for my next trip and highly recommend her and her family!â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bull Run
Our pups felt right at home with Tracie and Whitney and their family. Welcomed with patience, love, and attention, they had so much fun exploring the backyard during the day and cuddling up for some snuggles in the evening. We couldnât have asked for a better first-time boarding experience. Thank you!
Elizabeth and family was amazing and made us feel so safe leaving our dog in her care. She was as very attentive and kept us updated throughout our weekend away. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care and will definitely be keeping her as our permanent pet sitter :) thank you, Elizabeth! You are amazing.
We had such a wonderful experience with Janna! She took amazing care of our puppy, Beau, and truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated several times throughout the day with pictures and detailed reports, which we absolutely loved. It was so reassuring to see Beau happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. Janna was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Beau like he was her own. We couldnât have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. If youâre looking for someone you can completely trust with your fur baby, Janna is the one! Highly, highly recommend! âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸

Ivy was very attentive and caring for my fur baby. She sent me pics and videos nearly everyday and made sure I was always up to date on the status of Gizell. I especially appreciated that she requested a meet & greet prior to the drop off date to make all parties feel secured. It was my first time using Ivyâs services, we had a few minor hiccups but you can tell her genuine passion and love for animals immediately, I will definitely use again as Gizell came home as happy as when I left her so I know she had a great time. Thank you Ivy!!
The pups were well taken care of and I was kept well informed. She went above and beyond when she noticed one of my pups was having allergies causing them to gnaw at their paws. She soaked each paw in epsom salt and gave them a gentle scrubbing. I noticed the difference when I picked the pups up and some of his paw fur was growing back and the discoloration had faded significantly. Top marks all around.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Bull Run can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Bull Run 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 Bull Run.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Bull Run. On Rover:
- 85% 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 Bull Run sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
