“Michael is a very friendly guy and a great sitter. Michael waited in front of his building to welcome Theo when I dropped him off and Michael took him to get a pup cup immediately which is Theo favorite thing to do. Overall, Theo really enjoyed his stay with Michael.”
“Anthony took absolutely wonderful care of my Labrador, Channel, during a long 40-day stay at his home. The entire experience was amazing! Channel felt so loved, welcomed, and right at home from the start. Leaving a pet for such an extended period can be stressful, but Anthony completely put our minds at ease. He was incredibly attentive, kept in touch regularly, and sent plenty of photos so we could see how happy she was. He truly treated her like his own. I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Candace is nothing short of an Angel! My dog Ace has been with been with her several times and I thoroughly trust her with him. This last sitting was super last minute and Candace definitely saved the day (week). Don’t walk…run over to book with Candace. She treats Ace just like he was her own pup, I love getting the photo updates, and she’s just an overall amazingly sweet person!!!”
“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”
“Anna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️”
“David and his family are amazing! He is very diligent in sending pictures and updates. Otis loves going over there. They give him lots of love, cuddles, treats, walks, and exercise. Otis is excited every time we pull up to the house and I know he is well taken care of when he is there.”
“Marcella recently took care of our Beagle mix, Cleo, for six nights. She was in-tune with Cleo's routine from the start and she gave our little couch potato lots of love. Marcella sent us daily updates with photos, which was wonderful. When we picked Cleo up, she was happy to see us, but it was clear that she'd been well taken care of.at Marcella's. We'd recommend Marcella to sit for anyone's pet.”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“Rhys had a wonderful time with Garrett and Ana! He came back so tired but was back his normal self by this morning which is unusual. It usually takes him 2-3 days to get back to normal”
“Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.”

I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!
We had a great experience with Michael and Alaina and would absolutely book with them again! They have a beautiful, spacious home with a large fenced yard that gave our dogs plenty of room to run around and play. One of the highlights was that our dogs became great friends with their dog, Deji. They had so much fun playing together, and it was clear from the updates that everyone was getting along wonderfully. We also really appreciated the daily photos and videos they sent. Seeing our dogs happy, relaxed, and having a great time gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know they were safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Bryant and the family were outstanding. They took such great care of my fur baby Chance. They gave constant updates and videos of their interactions and having fun with the doggie! They were by far my he best caregivers we have ever had using Rover. I definitely recommend them and hopefully they will be available for the next time. Thanks again for taking such good care of Chance!!!

What a relief that I found Nancy! I knew from the moment we met that she genuinely loves and cares about dogs!! She took great care of our little guy, sent multiple pictures daily during his stay, and made everything so easy. We found a winner and will absolutely seek her out again!
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
