“Scott and Amanda are fantastic with Lily. I always feel comfortable entrusting them with my girl. She plays super hard so she sleeps for a day when she gets home. Happy girl = happy Mom. Thanks for taking care of my baby.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Ciara was great- she sent pictures the whole time we were gone and Liv didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up! And to make it even better Liv was exhausted and slept all day so we could unpack and settle in when we got home!”
“Lauryn helped to take care of my 2 dogs from September 5 to September 13 while we were out of town. Lauryn was very sweet to them. I can tell my dogs was very relaxed and comfortable to stay with her. When I went to pick them up, they were reluctant to leave. It felt like they had one week vacation too. In the future I’ll definitely choose Lauryn again.”
“Jennifer is hands down the best dog sitter! She made our Sadie girl feel like she was at home. She spent her time exercising Sadie throughout the day and snuggled with her at night. Sadie doesn’t eat very much when we go out of town, she ate each night she was there! That’s how I know she was comfortable. We will be booking Jennifer for now on! I can’t say enough nice things about her!”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“1000+ stars for Jay! She’s absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving my 1 year old pup since adopting her in January, and I couldn’t have chosen someone better than Jay. I was worried about how she might behave due to her separation anxiety, but Jay was so welcoming and sweet that Coco felt as though she had been home all time. Jay kept me updated with pictures, videos and texts of Coco. Truly amazed with the level of care Coco received in her week long stay with Jay. Coco was even sad to leave! I will definitely continue to use Jay’s boarding services. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Absolutely recommend! My senior girl can get really anxious when I leave, especially with someone new, and she settled in with George and his family right away. She stayed almost a week for her first stay and it went amazing. Tons of walks, pets, treats, and cuddles, plus George kept me updated the whole time with plenty of pictures. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip, and I'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Hilary and her family took great care of my dog Peanut! I appreciated her updates and flexibility through the stay. Our pup had anxiety and she took great care to make her comfortable. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“All I have to say is that I will never take my furbabies to another sitter. Monica is fantastic! They went for walks and played lots! She is VERY understanding of the bullie breed. One of my dogs even had a small blister on his paw. She cleaned it, put on neosporin and wrapped it. I was so happy that she didnt just let it go even though we were picking up in a few short hours.”
“We are so thankful that they were able to accommodate Gary on such short notice. They provided frequent updates throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gary was well cared for and treated like one of their own pets. We truly appreciate their flexibility, communication, and care. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Anna was very flexible with our schedule. Made our dog feel comfortable. Her 2 dogs and cat were super friendly and calm. Didnt have problem welcoming a new dog in their house.”
“Caitlin and her family went above and beyond ensuring that my sweet girl was happy and given plenty of attention! She gave me many updates, including pictures, and was super quick to respond to my messages even with me having an hour time difference on vacation and no cellular service. This was my first time leaving my girl for an extended period of time and it was by far an excellent experience. I will certainly be rebooking for future vacations.”
About: My experience working in animal welfare taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each animal's unique needs. I know that finding someone you trust with your pets isn't easy, so I became a sitter to provide the kind of care and reassurance I would want for my own animals. I regularly care for my children's pets, and they love coming to Grandma's house! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to familiar routines, I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. ❤️ I work from home two days each week to provide attention, companionship, and care. I'm also home most weekends, which allows me to maintain your pet's routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and supervision while you're away. This flexible schedule helps us provide consistent care and ensures your pets won't be left alone for long periods. 🐾💙 Our dogs are an important part of the family, and they're treated that way every day. They enjoy daily walks, either on the trail that winds through our 5-acre property or around our quiet neighborhood. We also have a fenced acre where dogs can safely explore, play, and burn off energy. Pets are fed twice daily and receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it's snuggling on the couch, playing with toys, or enjoying outdoor time, we make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Of course, good behavior is rewarded with treats! Two of our dogs especially love a good game of fetch, so you'll often find us outside throwing a ball and enjoying some extra playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're away. 🐾❤️
“Your pup loved her time with at Kathrine’s home! We will definitely check her availability sometime the next time we go out of town. She was professional, attentive, and accommodating at every turn.”
“Laurie was a fantastic sitter for Loki. Right away he took to her like (insert favorite positive colloquialism here) and was very happy when we came back for the actual booking. Many pictures during his stay reinforced the knowledge he was having a great time. Definitely worth it and I’ll try to rebook during my next vacation need.”
About: Hello! My name is Ashley. I have had dogs and cats ever since I can remember, small dogs and bigger dogs. I am an animal lover who loves being outdoors, loves being active, and loves the company of pets. I have two cats who love/ are used to being around dogs! If you need a simple dog walk, I am your girl! If your dog like runs or playing fetch, you can count on me to keep them active. Or if your pet just needs some lovin’ while you’re away I can do that too. I couldn’t think of a better side job than to spend that time with animals. I am very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. I know that pets are a very important part of our lives and will take great care of your fur child.

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 Cologne 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 Cologne.
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.
You and your Cologne 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.
