“Carly was amazing with our dog Cece. She took our booking pretty last minute and was super accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Cece loved running around in her backyard!”
“At first you know, I was really skeptical and somebody watching my dogs. But this lady did a fantastic job. My dogs got to play all day. They got walks plus baths. My dog both really liked her and my female dog is usually skeptical on new people. She did an amazing job and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch my dogs for me. I found my main person.”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“Mikayla and Skyler were wonderful hosts to our little boy. We got frequent updates about Kiddo (his fuzzy eating habits and cute little nap time snores) with lots of pictures. I can say Kiddo was treated like their own. We got a happy and a tired pup back. They have a really vast open area where the furry ones can hang out. We would highly recommend Mikayla to any one we know.”
“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom had as many as six dogs at a time, and I was actively involved in their daily care from a very young age. We also had multiple litters of puppies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, rabbits, and hamsters, making me comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I've spent a lifetime around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most recently, my two beloved dogs passed away. While I'm not quite ready to bring new pets into my home yet, I miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to continue spending time with pets, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️ I work from home with a flexible job. I am able to take care of your pets on whatever schedule works best for them and you. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I also live in a cul-de-sac so it’s a safe neighborhood to walk pets in! I have no other pets living in my home so all my attention can be on your baby or babies!
“She did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. I really appreciate that she sent pictures to let us know how our pet was doing. I would highly recommend her sitter services.”
“Ashley took great care of our boy for five days. She kept us informed with daily photos and updates. She and her husband are very kind and welcoming; and they provided a safe home and environment. We are very glad we found them! We will definitely book again.”
“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”
“Amanda was awesome. We had to leave Pringles for an 8 night trip and I was very at ease knowing he was with someone that would take absolute care of him and treat him as her own. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“Erica was absolutely amazing with Ariel!!! She sent pictures and updates regularly and my pup was super happy the whole time!!! I will definitely use her again!!!”
“We LOVE Rita!! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!! I have used rover in lots of different states and Rita is hands down the best! I never had to ask to check on Briley. Rita sent pictures everyday and kept me updated. I will definitely be using Rita again!!”
“Absolutely the best pet sitter! She took amazing care of our fur baby and treated them like family. We received updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind while we were away. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“I had the chance to board my male pit bull mix. Cara was so wonderful with him taking him on numerous walks but also let him enjoy the downtime. A thoughtful and caring provider for your furry family member. Jump at the chance to book Cara!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats since I was a child. I’m 30 years old, & I work in Dentistry Monday-Thursday 8-6, so I will be the only person in my home that can look after your animals anytime Friday-Sunday! I work full time in a Dental office Monday thru Thursday 8am to 6pm, so I would be available after 6pm until the next morning. I’m available anytime Friday thru Sunday. I have leashes in our yard. It is a 2 year old home & I have not saved up for a fence yet. I have 2 friendly male dogs. I have cats in our home as well, so if your animal doesn’t do well with other animals I have a large crate in our garage it can sleep in, & I can keep our animals separate.
“Julie was AMAZING! She sent me multiple updates each day to ease my anxiety and took such great care of my pup! My pup is high energy and a lot to deal with and Julie handled her perfectly. I absolutely recommend trusting Julie to watch your pup!”

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 Duffield 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 Duffield.
<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 Duffield 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.
