“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with Melissa and the love her family gave my sweet little Louie. We booked an overnight boarding for 3 nights and her service and communication were next to none. I greatly appreciate her daily photo updates, as it secured not only myself but the fact my kids were just as pleased to know that their fur brother was in great hands . I’d definitely be willing to book her again and recommend her services to anyone looking for a compassionate caregiver!”
“Denny was an awesome sitter for my little mami. I had to book him last minute because of some arrangements with my business trip and he was willing and friendly enough to take my puppy.The communications were clear and consistent. Throughout my trip I reached out to Denny to just check up on my baby and he was communicating very well as well as sending pictures. I will definitely book with him again and is looking for him to do dog sitting during the day while I’m at work 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.”
“Nala and I love Jay. She has been there the second time, and Nala and I definitely found our person. Nala has a routine with Jay, and I love it. I defined the need to change some of my bad habits in my household. I will rebook for my upcoming vacation.”
“Sara and Jakob were great with Kingsley. They seem to really know animals and how to handle them as well. We needed someone who will provide just the right amount of play and rest for Kingsley as he is a Big Energetic puppy. Sara provided pictures and videos daily and let me know Kingsley's schedule everyday at "winter camp" with her own doggies lol. Two days before the end of our boarding period, I asked if they would give Kingsley a bath at extra cost and they happily said yes even though it was kind of last minute and Kingsley is a big dog! Kingsley came back very clean and happy. We felt good during our time away and was able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kingsley was being taken care of. We are definitely going to take Kingsley to Sara again the next time we are away! Thanks guys!”
“Kourtney was awesome with our baby girl Daisy Mae! We were pretty nervous because Daisy is just under 2 years old and had never been boarded or babysat. Kourtney was great, providing updates every day and we can tell Daisy was well taken care of. Thanks Kourtney!”
“Michelle is loving, kind and very accommodating. Her house is spotless and your pet always comes first. She updates you just enough so you can enjoy your travels and not worry about anything. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave. She got so much attention and love. Michelle is wonderful!”
“Damacia was a God sent especially at the last minute and having availability on a holiday weekend! I could tell right away that she loves what she does. She kept me informed on my Bentley’s playtime, eating and how he settled in with the other dogs! She even sent pictures of his interactions throughout the day! I will definitely be using Damacia in the future!”
“Ayme is great!! Our two dogs just came back from their first stay with her. She allowed us to meet her prior to their stay and was genuinely interested in getting to know them, asking all necessary and important questions. You can tell she truly loves animals and sent us pictures regularly while gone. I would highly recommend her and book with her again.”
“Star appeared to have a great time with Laura and family and be well taken care of. She had a nice large yard to run in and both caregivers were clear dog lovers and she immediately took to them. I would definitely use them again!”
“Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colonial Heights
Allejah really is a five star sitter! Communication and knowledge of doggie behaviors, attention to detail, flexibility, and LOVE are all top tier. This was my first boarding experience and I have a senior dog so I was on pins and needles going in- my anxiety was eliminated after meeting Allejah and receiving my first round of doggie mail. My old pup was just as comfortable and cantankerous with her as he is with us:-). I appreciated that she made my Velcro dog feel comfortable enough to relax, rest, and cuddle. As an anxious pet parent- I was comfortable enough to enjoy my travels. I would 100% recommend her and I’d love to have her puppy sit again when the need arises.
Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!
Alejandra took phenomenal care of our puppy. She was so patient, gentle and spot on with her schedule and everything. I highly recommend her and will definitely consider her for our any future trips! Our pup came back very happy. And she also kept us posted with everything so we had a full peace of mind when we were away! Highly recommend her!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Colonial Heights 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.

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.
