“We are so pleased with the care that our Australian Shepherd received. We had daily pictures and updates. Our dog was with Jim for 16 days and our dog looked healthy and happy. We would recommend Jim to anyone that wants a caring caregiver for their beloved furry friend. Thank you, Jim!”
“Guojin was great! I was nervous about leaving Zuko with someone new and she made me feel so comfortable. She was so communicative and sent me pictures throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!”
“I have used Heather twice after relocating to the area. My dog son is extremely codependent and she manages to show him the love he needs during my absence. She provides tons of pictures and communicate updates as well as being responsive to any inquiries.”
“Bailey stay with Rebeca and Roman was great! They took great care of Bailey and I plan to use them again!! Thanks for taking such great care of my little man!!”
“I had ZERO concern leaving our dog with Victoria. With constant updates, pictures and communication, Victoria was able to put our minds at ease while on vacation. Her home was extremely clean and pet friendly. Thank you so much Victoria!”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“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!! ☺️”
“Veronica is AMAZING!! Was very worried leaving my 6 month old Basenji, Braxton, as it was our first time leaving him and he’s a very energetic puppy. He LOVED it!! He made lots of new friends and enjoyed every second of it. Will definitely continue to use Veronica in the future.”
“Nancy was fantastic with our dog, Sadie! I really enjoyed seeing the multiple photos she would send each day and never felt like I had to worry about her during her stay. Nancy was accommodating to all of Sadie’s quirks too. I appreciated her flexibility with pick up and drop off times as well. I will definitely reach out to Nancy again the next time Sadie needs a sitter!”
“Chloe had a great time with Joanna and John and came home happy and well taken care of. I enjoyed the videos they sent as well. I will definitely use them again!”
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
“This was the first time our dog, Shira, stayed with Catherine, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Catherine asked a number of questions about Shira so that she could make her feel comfortable and relaxed as Shira can be anxious in new environments. Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!”
“Can’t recommend Suzi enough, she was so great with our pup Penelope! Penelope has an injured leg and Suzi made sure she didn’t run at all, and I can tell Penelope felt very comfortable and safe at Suzi’s house. I love that Penelope was spoiled and allowed to sleep in the bed with Suzi! I loved the pictures and updates and you can truly tell that Suzi has a warm heart and animals love her! Thank you so much Suzi!!”
“Zahra was great, sent a nice video of the dogs enjoying the backyard and was very prompt with pickup and dropoff and communication. Really felt like dogs were well cared fo while we were out of town. Highly recommend.”
“I love using Candice to take care of Ahsoka. She is reliable and flexible and consistently sends me pics, and she was this time as usual. I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton
Melissa was a professional, punctual, and dedicated dog sitter. Our 2½-year-old English Golden Retriever stayed at her spacious home for two weeks. She has a modest backyard, and the neighborhood is perfect for nice, long walks. Throughout his stay, Melissa kept us updated with everything we needed to know and sent us photos, allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dog. We highly recommend her services! 🐶❤️
Linda took great care of our dog, Goldie. It was really nice to have her at a home that only boards one dog at a time as I think multiple dogs can become overwhelming. Linda’s dog, Lucky, is very sweet and I know Goldie enjoyed having Lucky as a playmate. Linda kept in touch with us and sent photos of Goldie during her stay. It was nice to have peace of mind about our dog being taken care of in a loving home while we were away.

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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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 Clifton.
<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 Clifton 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.
