“Henry was great watching our two dogs for 8 days. He was very responsive to any questions or information we were seeking. He was highly communicative sending pictures and updates. We could tell he genuinely cared about our dogs. Highly recommended.”
“Rebeca and Roman took very good care of my dogs Hope and Bella for two days. They texted me some pictures of my dogs to show they were doing good and that they got along with their two dogs. Rebeca kept me informed on how my dogs were doing through two days, I would recommend anyone to use them for dog sitters. They were very nice to us when we stopped by their house to drop off our dogs on the first day. We trust them and we will use them again in the future.”
“Michelle took great care of my dog. When my dog was feeling anxious about being away from home, Michelle got her to relax, which was reassuring that my dog was in good hands. I recommend her.”

Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child and done pet sitting for family and friends for years, including neighbors. We adopted our dog Wilbur in 2022 and he has been such a blessing for me and my family. I will make sure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own ❤️ I currently am working from home, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of and play with the puppies. I normally go on walks in the morning and late afternoon, but I can anccomodate my schedule to you dog’s needs. I also spend plenty of time in the back yard (during good weather), so play time is always available. I have a large fenced in back yard, so I have plenty of room for visiting pets to run around and explore. Inside, there is a dedicated upstairs and downstairs area for pets to lay down and rest. The feeding area for pets is in the same room as where my family dines, to try and make all pets feel like they are a part of the family. Your pets will be treated with loving care and attention to make them feel safe, calm and comfortable.
“Sheridan took excellent care of Dexter, she took the time to meet and greet us before hand. She was in consistent communication and sent pictures. I feel very comfortable with leaving my dog with her.”
“Ingrid is awesome! My elderly little dachshund has terrible separation anxiety and doesn’t usually do well when I leave town. He got so much love and attention at Ingrid’s! He came home calm and happy. Ingrid sent me regular pictures and updates. I was able to enjoy my trip instead of worrying about him. I’ve already booked with Ingrid again and highly recommend her!”
“My pup’s stay with Cindy was absolutely wonderful! Cindy was communicative, flexible, sent frequent updates and pictures, AND provided special care for my special needs girl. She and her husband are kind, friendly people who clearly love dogs. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend to anybody!”
“This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them again.”
“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”

Mariel was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Maple while we were away and treated her like part of the family. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated! She also took Maple on fun outings and spoiled her with special treats like pup cups. It was so clear from all the updates that Maple was having the best time and felt completely comfortable with Mariel and her family. We also really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maple was in such loving hands. We would absolutely book with Mariel again and highly recommend her!
My dog Bella is always happy to go see Brendan, and I am always happy knowing she is getting attention and being well taken care of. I love the great communication, many photo reports and ease of scheduling with Brendan. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
Connor was an amazing sitter for Wilson! He provided constant updates and 20+ photos per day, leaving me confident Wilson was in great care. He also communicated extensively before we met, to ensure he would be fully prepared to take care of Wilson and that they would be a good fit for each other. I would not hesitate at all to work with Connor again.
Our two dogs were very loved and cared for while we were out of town for four days. Erika checked in every day, and sent pictures. Lucy and Bernice got a lot of love and attention, which was great because both the dogs having anxiety. It was also the dogs’ first time staying with Erika and family, and they did really well. Thank you.
GREAT SITTER AND VERY ATTENTIVE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She took excellent care of Atlas! I mentioned that he sometimes accidentally pees on his leg and that, with previous sitters, he has come home with staining on his white fur. Not this time! Atlas came home just as clean and white as he was when I dropped him off! 🥰 It’s the little details like this that show how attentive and caring she is. I truly appreciate the extra care she took with my baby and would absolutely recommend her!
Bella had a great time with Dorrie, Rob and their sweet dog Dottie during our 5 day vacation. I knew after our meet and greet that she would be well taken care of, comfortable in their peaceful home and get all the attention and walks that she loves. Bella was so happy to return and Dorrie sent multiple updates and photos during her stay. Communication, drop off and pick up were also terrific. I highly recommend Dorrie!
Angelica has taken care of my pup multiple times and I’m always super happy with his care. She communicates well and sends pics so I feel good knowing my pups a happy healthy boy while I’m gone. She’s great to work with and I will definitely do so again in the future!
We had such a wonderful experience! John, Gretchen, and their wonderful family took such great care of our dogs and treated them like their own. We really appreciated the daily updates and adorable photos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would absolutely recommend them! ❤️🐾
It was my first time using Rover, and Jaelyn was an amazing sitter! She would send me frequent updates with photos of my dog and made the experience so easy. She also had a dog similar to my dog and a backyard, so playtime seemed really fun. My dog was having a hard time adjusting and wasn't eating a lot, but Jaelyn was sure to update me frequently when he ate and made multiple attempts to make sure he was fed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Donovans Corner can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Donovans Corner 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 Donovans Corner.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Donovans Corner. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Donovans 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
