“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“I booked my Frenchie to stay with Amber, and my furry little lovebug was so cared for and loved! He has found his home away from home. Amber sent pics and texts daily. This was my pup's 1st time away from home, and it was just what my mommy-pup heart needed. Additionally, my plans changed from R&R to medical care, with constant schedule changes in between. Amber was extremely flexible, and she even reached out to see if additional time was needed. Amber also limits the number of dogs, the sizes, and the breeds she cares for, which is a definite plus for me. Don't hesitate to book with her; you will have such peace of mind for your pup.”
“Kathryn and her family watched our Shiloh while we were away on a work trip. Shiloh is new to our family and a puppy so I was nervous about leaving her, but Kathryn and her family took such great care of Shiloh and updated throughout our trip. Literally all worries I had were relieved within minutes of leaving her there! I could not recommend Kathryn more!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Eldeen rescued us - we needed a sitter for our girl Edith on short notice and our usual sitter was unavailable. They took great care of her, and she was happy and obviously well loved while she was there. 5 stars in every aspect!”
“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“For Rascal, being at Lorena's is like being at home except better: he's allowed to sleep on the furniture at Lorena's. Not at all spoiled! Lorena's entire family (including her own dogs) treats Rascal like one of the family. This is, by far, the best boarding experience (home away from home) he has ever had.”
“Denise was wonderful. Very sweet and caring personality. Her home was clean and beautiful. She sent pictures daily and took great care of our baby. I would definitely recommend. 10 outta 10.”
“My dogs are always happy to spend some time with Rebecca and her family. They are well taken care of and I trust my pups in their care. I will continue to book with Rebecca. Thank you again !”
“She is wonderful, you can see in her eyes she loves every dog she takes care of. She treats them as family. It’s very heartwarming to meet someone like her to care for my doggy. We’ll be back! :)”
“Absolutely an amazing sitter. My picky dog ate every meal with Linda. She went on multiple walks sent multiple photos and videos. My dog had an absolute vacation with Linda. I will never take my dog to anyone else. Linda is my new and only dog sitter.”
“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”
“Waylon had a great weekend with Schuyler and her family , pups included . I can tell he had a great time making new friends. I appreciate all the updates and pictures and peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.”
“These people love dogs. My Bugsy loves going to the house and playing with the other dogs. They have such a great home set up for taking care of animals. I will use them every time I leave the area.”
“Brooke is the absolute best! I am very particular about who I leave my dog (Theo) with, particularly because of his small size and his separation anxiety. Brooke was phenomenal the entire week that we were on vacation and Theo was so happy. She took him on walks, played with him, let him take naps and snuggle with her, and she even worked on training to help with his anxiety. She even dropped him off for us after we'd been on the road all day. She sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and he looked so happy every time and it was such a relief to not have to worry about him while we were away. Brooke absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients and I would highly recommend her to anyone! ♥️”
“Amanda and Brian’s family made our Ripley feel like a part of their family while we were away for the holidays. So welcoming! The daily updates and photos were an amazing touch! Made traveling over the holidays much less stressful knowing Ripley was well taken care of!”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Heather and family are very welcoming. My baby boy was immediately comfortable with them, and the communication is phenomenal!! So happy I found them and looking forward to continue using their services.”

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 Dickinsons Corner 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.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dickinsons Corner.
<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 Dickinsons Corner 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 , 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 .
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.
