She sent photos and was very responsive and attentive. I would definitely book her in the future and I recommend everyone else to do so as well.”
“We had such a great experience! Eldeen & family took amazing care of our yorkie, Kash, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped him off, Kash felt right at home.

It’s clear she truly loves animals, and Kash absolutely enjoyed his time there. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“Abby and her family were wonderful care givers of our elderly pets. Our buddies were in their care for more than a week and I can tell they were able to stick to the feeding routine. Our pets comeback in good shape. Thanks Abby and family!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, caring for cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits of all ages. Experience with puppies and senior animals, and the extra care that requires. Available for overnights, daytime visits, and even bath time. I currently work full time but I am available in the evenings to love on your furry family member. I love taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I have a crate to keep your pup comfortable in my home, plus a dog, cat, and two affectionate teenagers. If visiting a client’s home, I will love on the fur baby and make sure it has plenty of food, water, treats, and playtime.
“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”
“Audree is truly a great person to take care of Minnie our Australia Shepherd. She constantly communicates and send short videos and gave Minnie all her food/medication she needed during her stay with her . She has a true gift of caring for animals, as was evident on the videos of Minnie with other dogs! I couldn’t ask a better sitter than Audree, and I can’t say enough kind words about her! She’s the best!”
“Saroj has been a wonderful caregiver to our cat and made him feel so comfortable and relaxed. She constantly sent us pictures and videos and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation and feel relieved that our precious fur baby was in good hands. Thank you for your graciousness Saroj, we truly appreciate it!”
“Grant and Yunrui are a lifesaver! They handled my elderly dog with care and detail, even taking time for special medication/feeding routines. It is obvious they truly care about animals and go above and beyond. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Carlos went above and beyond in the care and love he provided my dogs. They were regularly walked throughout the day and enjoyed their time with his dog, Sasha. He sent me many, many photos and videos showing them eating heartily, walking the sidewalks, and sleeping soundly. I highly recommend Carlod to others. You will have peace of mind.”
“My two Aussies had a great time with Jessica. She came through for me when I lost my regular sitter due to a family emergency and she was great. She sent pictures, videos and was very responsive to my text messages. In the pictures and videos I could see that my boys were happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!”

I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. They took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to the pets they care for. I was absolutely delighted with the experience and would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for treating my furry baby like family!
Lei was absolutely AMAZING! She came to our home to meet our dogs, learn their routines and quirks, and connect on expectations. She had great questions that made me feel confident in her attention and commitment to caring for our dogs. Both pups came home so relaxed and ready for naps, which we appreciated after a long travel day. Lei provided a few updates while we were gone as well; which was appreciated. I cannot recommend a better sitter in the area, she will absolutely treat your pets like her own.
Sonia and Dayana took such amazing care of our pup, Nala, while we were away in Italy for a week. Leaving your dog behind for that long is never easy, but they made us feel completely comfortable from the start. They were so loving, attentive, and thoughtful with her, and it was obvious that Nala was happy and well cared for the entire time. We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and the genuine care they showed her. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We are so grateful to both of them and would absolutely trust them with Nala again in the future. Highly recommend!
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.
When the dog sitters are sad when you pick up your dog, you know your have the best sitters ever. Noelle was truly part of the family; on the couch, the children played and laid on her and Noelle protected the Elcy. I am soo happy with Elcy and family. Thank you!!!

There are 5,717 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dumfries. About 91% of Dumfries sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
