“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”

“The experience with Sonja and Phil was absolutely amazing. They Communicate well and quickly! Enzo was loved on like their own. They even ordered and installed a broken buckle on his collar while we were gone! We will definitely be using them many times in the future 🙂”

“This was our girls longest stay with Audree and while I know she always has a good time, I always worry while we're away. Audrey sent photos or videos of her everyday like she always does to make sure we're informed and can see how she's doing while staying with her friends. She always has a blast. She's excited when she arrives and is loved on while she's there. So glad we've been able to find a reliable sitter who loves our girl like we do. <3”


“Our dog had an excellent stay! Erin is the best at giving daily updates! Would highly recommend her. Will definitely use her services again! Way to go Erin....We appreciate you!”

“We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.”

“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”

“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”

“Lisa was a wonderful host for our two dogs. I received tons of great photos that really assured me my pups were in good hands - it was the first time they stayed out of the house with someone! They did great and bonded well with her in home doggies. Our pups came home happy and woren out which was awesome! Highly recommend, will be rebooking with Lisa.”


“Our girls were loved and very well cared for. 🩷 As parents, we could not ask for more. Svetlana is compassionate for your fur babies and you the parents. 🥰 We received videos that helped us to enjoy our time away, because we didn't have to wonder how they were doing. We are grateful for Svetlana. 🐾”

“Rebecca was great with Dani. She sent me pictures of Dani daily. Rebecca has a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play and run around in. Dani loved being able to play with the other dogs. I will book Rebecca the next time I need doggie sitter.”

“Our dog had a great time, she stayed with Ashley for a month. We love that she keep us posted by sending pictures and telling us how Milu was doing. It was great to have that communication. Ashley’s overall energy and interaction made our dog feel comfortable and relaxed. When we pick Milu she was happy, healthy and in good shape. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Ben & Ariel were absolutely wonderful with Mishka! We’ve used several sitters this year, and this was the first time she came home so clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely well loved. That alone means everything to us. They kept her active with plenty of walks, gave us terrific updates, and sent lots of photos so we always knew how she was doing. It was obvious they weren’t just watching her—they really cared for her and made her feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will 1000% book with Ben & Ariel again and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️🐾”

“Our dog had a great time with Tahliyah and her dog Rocket! She took great care of our fur-baby, sent us pictures of them playing and was very responsive with everything. Would 100% recommend her and would use her again!”


“Sarah and Jacob are so great! Duncan loves going to their house. Sarah and Jacob are so reliable and communication with them is seamless. We will always have Sarah and Jacob watch our pup.”

“Ingrid was amazing! I took a chance in contacting her for a last minute sit for our fur baby and she was very accommodating! Received updates and pictures and our fur baby was so comfortable. So glad that Ingrid’s kids loved our baby and were especially helpful in her care too! Warm loving home for your fur babies? Definitely will reach out again.”

“Charlotte took great care of our dog and sent lots of pictures, which we loved! We know our dog was cared for, and we look forward to having Rosie stay with her again while we’re away on an upcoming vacation!”

“I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this dog sitter! They took excellent care of my dog for two days and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable while I was away. I truly appreciated the great communication, reliability, and genuine care they provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry family member!”

“Highly recommend!! Extremely thorough and went above and beyond prior to our pup’s stay to ensure he would be comfortable in the new environment while we were out of town. Great communication as well which is ALWAYS a plus for us while we are traveling to include daily updates, and pictures. Could tell our pup had a blast and we will definitely be back again.”

“Monica was a joy to work with! I felt completely comfortable from the initial meeting. The photos and video of Remy during his stay were welcome treats. I knew he had a great time when I was more excited to see him than he was to see me after a week! Monica was also gracious to allow me to extend his stay a few days beyond the reservation when my original plan for pickup changed. I highly recommend Monica and I will definitely book 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 Carruthers Corner 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 Carruthers Corner.
<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 Carruthers Corner 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.
