“Edina is awesome! I've never used Rover before, and I was worried about using a person for boarding, but after I met Edina I knew my dog would be in good hands. She took such great care of our dog that we were worried he wouldn't want to come home. Edina and her daughter walked him multiple times a day, he spent time hanging out with them in their fenced in back yard and around the house. It was clear from the many pictures I received, that he was relaxed and well cared for. I will definitely be using Edina again in the future.”
“Marina was very flexible in terms of setting up a meet and greet and the actual dog sitting stay as well. Marina’s home seems like a very happy place for dogs. Marina is good about staying in touch and sending pictures. Our girl Nata seemed to have had a nice stay and we certainly would use Marina again if she was available and interested. We appreciate you Marina!”
“Stephanie was a lifesaver, accommodating us at short notice. She even drove for a meet and greet to learn about our dog. She kept our dog happy with daily dog park visits and us with pictures and messages. She is amazing!”
“She is amazing!! Not only is she a dog lover, her entire family loves dogs. She sends updates and pictures continuously throughout the day, even better yet also makes homemade treats for the pups. She also took my fur baby out to the store to get him treats. She is a true dog lover!!”
“Amber is both friendly and professional. I really appreciated the steady stream of photos and updates from her while I was out of town. Would definitely considered her in the future.”
“Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Julie was very friendly and took very good care of Volt. She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates frequently. Volt seems to have really liked her and her pets. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for boarding their pets.”
“Amazing experience! Kayln took care of our pup with love and care and our dog and her little dog are now best friends! 100% recommend- she took all the worry out of leaving our dog for vacation. She sent pics and updates. I cannot recommend her enough- very very good experience for our whole family.”
“Always so thankful for Jona’s care and help! CoCo was so well taken care of, and Jona even gave her a bath. I know CoCo will already be looking forward to her next visit. Thank you again!”
“Lilly and her family took our Yellow Lab in like one of her family members. The daily photos were reassuring that our puppy was being well taken care of. We'd give 6 stars if we could!”
About: I’ve personally had a dog for 8 years, and help my mother babysit dogs on rover! I love taking care and walking dogs as well. I’ve just recently graduated high school this month, so i now have some spare time on my hands during the day to walk dogs on the side! I have a fenced yard where ur doggies can play and roam around in! if you prefer cage i can accommodate that! just depends on your preferences
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
“My Fur Baby Braxton, Stayed with Karla for Christmas. Karla sent pictures and updates on Braxton This alone put my mind at ease for not having Braxton for 4 days. I'll have no problem using Karla again. ?”
About: I have always been a pet lover. I grew up with large dogs, and currently a fur mom to a little one (11lbs) and a medium one (30lbs). For the last decade, I have worked with various rescues to help strays learn how to settle and be in a home as well as help with finding their forever home. Now in Virginia, I’m looking to love on your furry family member like they are our own. I currently work from home and will be around to meet your animal’s physical and social needs. Dogs can receive multiple daily leashed walks- both around the property and quiet community. With a background of accepting animals of various temperaments, we are great at establishing a calming and loving environment. I can adjust and accommodate to pets as needed. I can accommodate indoor crating needs as desired or needed.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Dumfries is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dumfries
Aiden was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She provided daily updates, giving us peace of mind knowing our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She and her family made our dogs feel right at home, treating them with so much love and attention. We truly appreciate her wonderful care and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Aiden! 🐾❤️
Imbasat took care of our cat Pudding from 7-8-2026 to 7-24-2026. The experience of having Imbasat take care of Pudding was above and beyond excellent. Pudding formed part of her family including her husband and two young children that took care of Pudding as if it were their own pet. Imbasat was so sensitive about the feelings of separation of our young daughter from Pudding that she sent daily pictures and videos of Pudding that eased the separation pain of our 8 year old daughter. The personal and dedicated care provided by Imbasat is unique in that Pudding was allowed to roam freely throughout her home with interactive play with Imbasat, her husband and children compared with what is available in the market since typical cat hotels hold the cat in a cage with typical dimensions 2'x2'x3'. Overall I was extremely happy with Imbasat's care of Pudding and would definitely repeat having her take care of Pudding in a future trip.
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
