“Stephen was fantastic with our pup! He expertly handled her mild separation anxiety with some extra walks and all the love. She had a great time and was almost not ready to leave! He provided great message, photo, and video updates which were greatly appreciated. We would recommend him to any of our friends and family and will 100% use him ourselves in the future!”
“Robin is fantastic! Zuzu was at ease with her from the moment they met; she has routine and discipline expectations; she knows dogs on all levels; and the pics I received throughout his stay were great!! THANX A MILLION, Robin !!!”
“Ellie had another awesome stay last week. I am so glad to be able to leave my little houndy girl with Katina, who treats her like part of her own family. Thanks! Highly recommended without reservations of any kind. Brian”
“My husband and I booked with Denise two days prior for our last minute little weekend get away . Denise responded in 10 minutes and set up a meet and greet and we enjoyed the meet and greet so much we booked her . She gave us a run down of everything and she interacted well with our Laika girl. She even accommodated the fact that Laika isn’t good with being around other dogs. She gave my baby girl one on one time and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation.We was able to enjoy a vacation and Laika was able to enjoy a mini vacation as well. When we picked Laika up she told us just how lucky we were to have Laika and called her the “model boarding dog“ . We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Felt good to trust someone with my pup and treat her like their own, so much that Laika didn’t even seem like she wanted to leave.”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”
“Nathan is a professional. Will definitely be back. He has excellent communication, booking was easy and he was so flexible for us. I couldn’t be happier. He even gave our pup a bath and gave medicine. Such a positive experience! Thank you Nathan!”
“Natasha is awesome! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Charlie. He came home so relaxed and happy. She took Charlie for walking also. She has such a kind, gentle way with dogs, and her communication was fantastic—frequent photos, updates and super prompt responses the whole time. We will absolutely look to her for future pet care and will gladly recommend her to everyone we know!”
“Where do I start?! From the beginning, they stood out above the rest - super thorough and communicative. We had to reschedule once and it was no problem. During the stay we received regular updates and photos. Our pups looked happy and content. They were so well cared for and came home happy and tired from playing. Super awesome experience through and through! Well worth the drive from Charlottesville.”
“Heather was absolutely great! She would send me updates and photos of Maggie. She did a wonderful job at the meetup to confirm this would work, and while she watched Maggie I had zero concerns and knew she was being taken care of.”
“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“Apollo had a great time with Lorena! Her collie was most patient with his puppy antics, and I appreciate her kids even helping out with Apollo's training. Lorena sent plenty of pictures and updates too.”
“Rebecca was great with Dani. She sent me pictures of Dani daily. Rebecca has a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play and run around in. Dani loved being able to play with the other dogs. I will book Rebecca the next time I need doggie sitter.”
“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Michelle sent regular updates and photos of my three dogs. She was also flexible during pick up, accommodating an unexpected travel delay. My dogs were well cared for and happy when I picked them up. I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”
“Mr Warren and his wife Ashley did such a wonderful job keeping Mini Trix. They were my saviors over the Mother's day weekend, as I'd chosen someone to watch Mini Trix, but once they were paid they wouldn't respond. I quickly canceled and chose Mr Warren. Mr Warren and his wife are very experienced with dogs. They were patient with Mini Trix and helped him become comfortable with two other dogs they had. I felt confident they were going to do a great job. I was right!”
“Dorothy was amazing! She is super caring and responsive, and made it really easy for me to know what my puppy was up to throughout the day. Would definitely recommend her for anyone!”

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 Cuckoo 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 Cuckoo.
<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 Cuckoo 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.
