“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Min and Matthew are so awesome! Daily photos and updates of my dog’s time with them gave me such peace while I was away. Their love for him and care for him was top notch in every way.”
“Wonderful experience! Our dog was very well cared for, and we were regularly updated throughout our time away. Tetiana made an extra effort to meet up with us before the drop off date to make sure all were comfortable. We will absolutely use Tetiana in the future!”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Tricia was absolutely amazing with our dog, Cece! She gave her so much love and care throughout her entire week-long stay. She also sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and truly treated Cece like she was her own pup. When we experienced multiple flight delays and cancellations while trying to get home, Tricia was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy sitter for their fur baby!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“Helen was fantastic with Hunter and Raven! She watched them for a few hours during my sister's wedding, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when I returned. Helen was professional, attentive, and clearly has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again!”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Susana was a lifesaver for us on short notice with our French Bulldog when we had to leave town. She was very responsive and caring for our dog. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Sudha watching Coco for 10 days! Sudha sent us multiple photos and videos twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout his stay. Coco came home looking clean and well cared for, and he got along really well with her pup, Thor! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We’d happily book with her again! ❤️”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I cannot imagine it being a better experience. Katie and Adam were simply amazing. After our meet and greet I knew Murphy (our 9 year old mini labradoodle) would be in good hands but wow, he was on vacation at a 5 star resort. They took such great care of him - took him on many walks, loved him and just all the way around treated him like part of their family. I actually think he might be a little depressed about being back home!”
“Karen has watched Ruby & Albert a couple of times & she is fabulous. She takes them for lots of walks and snuggles them. Plus she is great communicating with us and telling us how they are doing. Karen is wonderful.”
“Renee was amazing ! She has my 9 year old english bulldog for a week and was very communicative with pics etc to keep me updated ! My dog was very happy while there. We will definitely use renee again!”
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”
“Yang took great care of my furbaby. She sent lots of photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated! My puppy came home smelling and looking her best! I will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”

Rebecca is the best!! She even had a last minute family emergency and still figured out a way to watch our pup. She is extremely responsive and communicative. This was my first time leaving our puppy over multiple days, and Rebecca made me feel so comfortable. She sent me updates and photos throughout her whole stay, and was very flexible with my schedule. I will be using her for all my future dog sitting needs. Thank you Rebecca!!

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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap 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 Clarks Gap.
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 Clarks Gap. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Clarks Gap 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.
