“Alana was very accommodating and was able to take our last minute booking when our original sitter fell through. We appreciate that she tried her best to make Milo feel comfortable even though he is a scaredy cat.”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“My dogs are happy to stay at Karen's. She is great at playing with them, walking them, and snuggling them. She is easy to communicate with, and she sends lots of pictures so you know everyone is doing great all the time.”
“I can't say enough great things about Lauren and her family! She's very caring and communicative, keeping us updated when our pup was suffering a bit of an upset stomach and taking care of him like he was her own.”
“Shiva and her family took great care of our dog and you can feel "the passion in the air". We received pictures and Shiva was flexible and kind and I am looking forward to another visit!”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”
“Tatiana has been excellent the two time that I sought her services. The last time was under very short notice, so it was immensely appreciated. She keeps you well l informed every day with photos and videos and is endearing to the pets. I highly recommend Tatiana and trust her with my pet.”
“Nalleli and her family showed our dog mych live and attention while we were away! She took him on many adventures, gave him special healthy treats, and lots of cuddles!”
“Millie had so much fun at Ray’s house with Penny! Penny is such a sweet/gentle dog but matched Millie’s play style so well. There was a decent amount of updates/pictures and from that I knew Ray treated Millie like his own. He is super thorough and makes sure to really know the dog and their routine before even boarding. I will definitely be using Ray again in the future!”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“This was our first time using this sitter, and we had a great experience! They were very nice and took great care of my dog. He seemed happy and comfortable, and we would definitely consider booking with them again”
“Ninfa is a wonderful dog sitter. She took great care of Jax while I was out of town. She sent pics and updates on how he was doing and tried to keep him on the same schedule. I’ll definitely have Ninfa watch Jax again!”
“I can’t say enough about Joanna and John. I was very apprehensive about leaving my maltipoo with someone who had never watch my dog before. Add to that other small dogs my Sandy would be around and not sure how she would adjust. But it turned out so great. They also sent us away with a gift bag with a dog treat storage bag inside, a cute blanket and lovely card. Thanks so much for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“Jennifer is the best! I have a (highly emotional) Great Dane who gets stressed when I leave but I can tell in every photo she sends how happy and spoiled he is! I feel so comfortable leaving him with Jennifer which is a great feeling to have.”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dranesville
Lauren is a great sitter. My dog felt at home at her place. Her dog lulu is such a gentle dog. I got updates on daily basis. They followed all his schedules. He stayed with them for 7 days. And my dog has not picked any bad habits. I am grateful she was available during this time.
This was my first time using Rover! Michelle made this experience very easy and made us feel comfortable to leave our dog for the first time. She was very communicative and max seems to really love her! Definitely will use her again in the future! Great experience! Awesome job!
Jill & Sean were great. This was my first experience with boarding my 2 year old. He has some separation issues. After my plane arrived, they let me fetch Roscoe at 8:30 p.m. He was a happy boy which told the whole story. They went above and beyond! Roscoe and I are grateful.
Nalleli and her family welcomed my baby girl Sinder like one of the family! It gave me the peace of mind during my travels and I would definitely recommend trusting her with your fur babies! I got many photos and updates and she was super happy and loved! Thank you Nalleli!

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 Dranesville 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 Dranesville.
<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 Dranesville 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.
