“Tamara was wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️”
“Kristi and Drew take such good care of our dog! They treat her like she’s one of the family, and I never have to worry about anything while we’re on vacation. I highly recommend them!”
“Suzi always takes the best care of our baby… and she loves her as much as we do. Normally Penelope RUNS when we try to drop her off at a boarder or sitters but with Suzi she waltzes in like no big deal. Thank you Suzi! Our favorite sitter ever.”
“Quincy had a great week with Michelle and her family, including Cinnamon. Quincy was taking medications and recovering from leg surgery. Michelle cared for him the way I would have. This was our first stay with Michelle and we will definitely stay with her again.”
“Lauren and her bf were amazing with our dogs! They were so kind and accommodating. Lauren is very responsive and sent me an update, not too long after we dropped them off, that our pups were doing well. I could definitely tell the dogs had a good time and felt comfortable. They were so tired when we picked them up. Lauren was also very patient and understanding with our puppy. We will definitely continue booking with them for future trips! :)”
“Carrie and Matt are spectacular! Our little pup is high energy and they had so many good experiences for her and maintained clear and regular communication. Highly Recommended.”
About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving extra attention to shy or anxious pets. I am home all day! Your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m happy to handle morning and midday walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, and last-minute requests. Because I’m home all day, I can watch your pet closely and give plenty of attention. I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.
“Jona took incredible care of our sweet Cooper while we were on vacation earlier this month. We greatly appreciated the thoroughness of her communication before and during Cooper's stay with her, and her thoughtful, calm approach. Cooper is a senior dog who requires multiple medications, and she handled this with ease. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“JR was an excellent sitter! We had a wonderful experience from the meet and greet all the way to pick up from boarding. He helped ease our anxiety by sending lots of updates, photos, and videos. Our active Siberian Husky got lots of activity both with him and his dog Oso. Our pup was very tired and happy after pick up. Thank you JR for taking such great care of our Siggy! We are so grateful!”
“I contacted Gail when I needed a sitter for Nala as I was very happy with the last time Nala stayed with her and Creagh. She is so nice and took very good care of Nala. She sent us pictures of her everyday with a text and that was so great. It makes you feel so good and at ease when you know your dog is being cared for with such love and kindness as Gail does. We will definitely contact Gail again when we need a sitter for Nala.”
“Oh my goodness - Kattia is the best sitter we’ve ever had! Between Kattia, her daughter, and friend our pup Oreo had way more attention and care than I even expected. They were so loving and energetic. Even when we dropped her off Oreo was already smiling and she never does that! They took her on lots of walks and car rides, fed her well, cuddled her up and became best friends. She sent lots of updates and pics to show how happy she was as they spoiled her. I will definitely be booking them again! Amazing service!”
“Brianna was super kind and patient w/ pup. He takes a long time to adjust to new environments and can be anxious, and there were some challenges but Brianna was always reassuring that it was ok and she handled it well. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and gave daily updates. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“My dog had a great time. Came home and went right to sleep. Sabine sent a ton of photos and contacted me if she had any questions about the care of Duke. Super friendly and great.”
“Christine took good care of our dog for week. We were nervous because this was his first time staying with other dogs longer than a day. He came home happy and exhausted after a week of play. We received photos and videos throughout the week and he was packed up, ready to go at pickup- we appreciated that after a long day of travel.”
“Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!”
About: I have 25+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know firsthand that dogs are part of our family. While your dogs are with us, we welcome them as part of our family and treat them with the same love and care as our own. I maintain a calm, clean and safe environment. Whether relaxing indoors, or playing in our safe, fenced backyard, your dogs will always be carefully supervised. I also send regular photo updates throughout the day so you can see how your dog is doing and have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible to allow for regular potty breaks, playtime and meal schedules. I provide calm, clean, and cozy environment, with a fully fenced yard where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also send regular photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Diana was fantastic with our dog Gabby! She has a beautiful backyard and truly treated our dog like family. We have been looking for years for someone who would treat our golden like family and she certainly did! She texted often with pictures and asked questions to clarify our instructions. Great communication and Gabby looked so happy! If I could give Diana 100 stars I would! Thank you and you have earned a customer for life!”
“Leslie was an amazing support to our family when we needed to travel for an extended period of time. Roxy had a BLAST! Leslie and her family took her to multiple dog parks, helped with medication management, and went above and beyond for our girl. We are so thankful!”

Erin was wonderful. I was a little nervous leaving my pups with a new sitter but I couldn’t be happier. We met before our trip and Erin’s calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. She sent me updates and pictures of my happy dogs throughout their stay. I will definitely book again!
Taylor and her family were wonderful with Yaara! He was welcomed into a warm, loving home and got plenty of cuddles, attention, and outdoor exercise. I received lots of updates and photos throughout my 3-day trip and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I would happily use Taylor again and highly recommend her!
I had a great experience with Jinghan! She took wonderful care of Momo and was very responsive throughout the stay. She kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m very happy with her care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Mariel was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Maple while we were away and treated her like part of the family. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated! She also took Maple on fun outings and spoiled her with special treats like pup cups. It was so clear from all the updates that Maple was having the best time and felt completely comfortable with Mariel and her family. We also really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maple was in such loving hands. We would absolutely book with Mariel again and highly recommend her!
My dog Bella is always happy to go see Brendan, and I am always happy knowing she is getting attention and being well taken care of. I love the great communication, many photo reports and ease of scheduling with Brendan. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
Connor was an amazing sitter for Wilson! He provided constant updates and 20+ photos per day, leaving me confident Wilson was in great care. He also communicated extensively before we met, to ensure he would be fully prepared to take care of Wilson and that they would be a good fit for each other. I would not hesitate at all to work with Connor again.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
94% of sitters in Burke 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 Burke 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 Burke.
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 Burke. 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 Burke 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.
