“Sonja and Phil were absolutely incredible with Marley! They provided top-tier care and kept me updated with the best pictures the entire time, which gave me total peace of mind while I was traveling. They are an awesome, genuinely caring team, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters for their dog!”
“I'm a bit late with this review of Amber's exceptional care of my fur baby Satue. I knew Satue was in greats hands when I dropped her off. Satue couldn't wait to jump into Amber's hands...LOL. She loves ❤️ Amber one of Amber's dogs who is now Satue's best fur friend ❤️ So adorably cute! Thankbyou Amber for always taking great care of my Satue ❤❤”
“Amazing!! My pup had a great time. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and be dogs. Wonderful communication so you don’t have to stress while you are away. I won’t be bringing my dog anywhere else.”
“I’m so thankful for Connie, she took care of my pup and showed so much patience with him. She sent so many pictures and videos of him playing inside and outside, and even showing him working on an agility course! I will 100% be using her services again in the future and would recommend her to a friend with confidence.”
“Heather did an awesome job watching our chocolate lab for a weekend. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would do it again in a heartbeat. She sent us numerous pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. This was our first experience with Rover and I would definitely recommend Heather if you need someone to watch your dog”
“Another GREAT experience with Stephen. He is super communicative, attentive and on top of all the dogs' needs. He watched our two girls for a week - they had a great time and I know they were so well taken care of. Stephen has become our go to, first choice sitter for our fur-babies.”
“I really appreciate Crystal agreeing to watch Atlas for me at the last minute! She was great at communicating and made drop off and pick up very easy. I would definitely feel comfortable asking her to watch Atlas again in the future!”
“Marah was great! My two pups stayed with Marah and her family for two nights and I know they were well taken care of. I got daily updates and photos. My dogs had lots of fun snuggling with her two sweet children and playing fetch in the backyard.”
“Amazing experience with Audree. She kept us updated on how our pup was doing and sent tons of pictures while we were away. Absolutely recommend her for anyone that needs to leave their pup for a bit. They're in good hands.”
“My husband and I could not be more pleased with all the love and attention to detail that they provided for our dog Spot for 5 days while we went on an out of town trip. Spot is somewhat shy and anxious, but this wonderful family provided for all his needs as evident in all the pictures and comments that we received several times through out the days of our trip. Any one looking for that special family to sit your pet, you have found them!”
“Tiffany and David were willing to watch our dog with only a week's notice for 2 nights. They took excellent care of our Maybelline and provided a photo showing Maybelline enjoying being pet. We ran slightly behind picking up Maybelline, and Tiffany and David accommodated. We greatly appreciate their flexibility and service and will absolutely use their services again in the future.”
“Love.love.love Kimmie, and so does Zeus. She kept him for 5days while I was out of town. She spoiled him and sent me pictures and updates. He played so well with the other dogs. Now that he is back home, he looks a bit sad. I think he prefers living w her than Us!! I highly recommend her for ur dog sitting needs!!”
About: Hi there! Backed by a professional background in grooming and large-scale facility work, I offer your pup the kind of specialized care they deserve. My small-scale, personal approach ensures every dog gets dedicated attention in a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home setting. Guests enjoy a fully climate-controlled indoor space featuring their own designated area and personal cot to relax and sleep soundly. Plus, a built-in doggy door gives them 24/7 access to a secure, 3,000-square-foot outdoor run within my fully fenced yard (cameras coming soon!). Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your fur baby stays comfy, cozy, and completely pampered. With years of experience in large-scale facilities caring for over 150 dogs at once, we bring big-facility safety standards to a warm, personal setting where your pup is always our top priority. We provide around-the-clock care in a secure, home-based setting tailored specifically for canine comfort. Unlike high-volume commercial facilities, our setup limits capacity to ensure every dog gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a cozy resting spot.
“We really appreciate your assistance during our family emergency. It is great to know your dog is safe and well cared for. Megan comes highly recommended. Thanks again. Jerome & Family”
“Kelsi was great! She was able to take care of my dog on short notice when my original plans fell through. I received plenty of photos while Noda was boarded and she seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Kelsi!”
“Thank you so much, Riza, for taking care of Princess\ the photos you sent gave me peace of mind\. I truly felt that Princess was in good hands\. I really appreciate your kindness and the love you showed her\. I would definitely trust you to care for her again\. Thank you\!”
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!

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.
96% of sitters in Carters Store 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 Carters Store 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 Carters Store.
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 Carters Store. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Carters Store 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.
