“Sujan watching our puppy for the second time recently over a weekend. She was excited to see him again and came back a happy pup! He also did a good job sharing updates with us while we were away”
“Our pup had a great few days with Kiran and his dogs. He enjoyed playing in his new fenced yard and going on walks. Came home happy and tired! Would book again without hesitation”
“Frankie had the best time at Karen’s while I was in town for a wedding! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the night. This was Frankie’s first Rover experience and I can’t lie - I was nervous about his separation anxiety. When I picked him up in the morning it was clear that he felt so comfortable around her and that made me so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“Yes she is excellent. She was available every time I had a question. My puppy has never stayed away from us but she handled him well and accommodated his quirks. He came home happy . I will definitely be using her services in the future and highly recommend Alana”
“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”
“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!”
“Tatiana is the BEST! She is so good to my Boston Terrier and her dog and cat are too. Stevie gets her own fun vacation when she goes to Tatiana’s house and I get fun pics that let me know she is doing well. I’m so lucky to have found her.”
“Highly Recommended! I couldn't be happier with the care Barfie received! Nalleli did an incredible job socializing him and kept me updated with daily photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear he was happy, well-exercised, and loved—I'll definitely be booking again!”
“Parker really enjoyed her stay with Andrew and his family! She came home very happy and relaxed. Andrew was a great communicator, sharing lots of updates and cute pictures. He made sure she was comfortable at all times and ensured she was okay sleeping on the first level when she showed apprehension at the stairs. As an experienced dog-owner, Andrew was confident regarding Parker's specific care instructions and ensured she had all her meds and food. I am looking forward to booking Andrew again, I know Parker will be excited to spend more time there!”
“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”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“Our big poodle had an amazing time with Amethyst. She listened to all our concerns about his anxiety and she was extremely accommodating about keeping him comfortable. We feel like he is so safe and cared for with her and look forward to letting him stay with her in the future.”
“Ninfa is amazing at taking care of Toffee. She always makes sure to keep us updated and sends us cute pictures throughout the boarding time. Toffee always has a great time at Ninfa's and is always excited to see her.”
“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!”
“My only hesitation with leaving a review is that John and his family will get so much attention that they’ll be booked next time we try to use them! Kidding, sort of. Seriously though, they were wonderful. Very communicative and thoughtful. One of our pups is super nervous being left, and John and his wife sent lots of pictures and reassured us that all was going well. We couldn’t have been happier with the visit and we have already booked them again!!”
“Fen received the best care while staying with Jennifer, her family, and their pupper Henry. Jennifer provided photos and updates throughout the weekend and always responded within minutes to my messages. Would love to have her care for our Fen again anytime!”
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, 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 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 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.
