“Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”
“Dayonna was absolutely fantastic! She kept me updated on Kahlua. Kahlua was very nervous and she immediately took her for a long walk to calm her down. I would definitely recommend Dayonna's services. She's thoughtful, responsible, and professional.”
“Anna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of animals, spending time with them. I’m willing to work with your puppies or senior dogs providing good care. I do work part-time and would love to spend my free time taking care of your babies whether that’s walking them, playing with them or simply giving them attention. And making sure they are well cared for! I have a fenced and spacious yard. My home is dog-friendly, clean and safe. I’ll keep you updated on your fur baby with photos, videos and messages.
“Michelle did an outstanding job while taking care of Harley. I was given daily updates as well as pictures. Easy to communicate with and accepted a last minute request from me. She will be my go to sitter for Harley.”
“Tina did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town. She regularly checked in and if I messaged her she was prompted in response. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Mykayla and her husband were super nice and very professional. They have two dogs both of which are very sweet and friendly. Their dogs played with my dog and seemed VERY patient with him. Overall it was a great experience using Mykayla!”
“Matisa was great with taking care of Nakia for the week. She kept me updated with her daily activities and sent me pictures as well. You could see that my dog was in a good place and could tell she was happy also. I would highly recommend picking her to take care of your dog. I’m happy I found this app. 😊”

“Stephanie was amazing. My dog takes a few days to adjust to a new home and she was very understanding and patient. She communicated really well. I would definitely recommend her”
“Ingrid was very patient, nice and communicative with me throughout Rocco’s stay. She sent photos and messages regarding Rocco’s day very often. It eased my anxiety as this was Rocco’s first time staying with someone else overnight. He is very attached to me so I was a bit concerned, but from the updates I got it looks like he did just fine :). Thank you Ingrid for taking such a good care of my baby and for being patient with him.”
“Dana is exceptional and her son are exceptional caretakers of our Kota. He’s safe, always super happy and we are able to leave him with a piece of mind. There is no doubt that our kota is always in good care and on top of that, he gets special little adventure walks and outtings❤️❤️”

“Lauren and her bf were amazing with our dogs! They were so kind and accommodating. Lauren is very responsive and sent me an update, not too long after we dropped them off, that our pups were doing well. I could definitely tell the dogs had a good time and felt comfortable.

She was the absolute sweetest! 🥰 She took such great care of my pups and sent me pictures and updates every single day which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they were in great hands and well cared for. I truly appreciate how sweet, attentive, and communicative she was throughout their stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! ❤️
If I could give Teecey 6 stars, I absolutely would! We didn’t have an opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand due to scheduling, but Gigi felt right at home from the moment we arrived, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving her in Teecey’s care. She treated Gigi like she was her own, even introduced her to some new food! She also kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay without me ever having to ask, which I really appreciated. It’s always a little nerve-racking leaving your dog with someone new, but Teecey made the entire experience so easy. Knowing Gigi was comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,727 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dumfries. About 91% of Dumfries sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
