“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this dog sitter! They took excellent care of my dog for two days and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable while I was away. I truly appreciated the great communication, reliability, and genuine care they provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry family member!”
“Awesome Loving home! Christine and family has got to be the most amazing dog lovers ever. I usually take my Bella to Calypso Kennel however, they were booked for Christmas vacation several months out. I took a chance and so glad I did. Bella enjoyed her stay and was so content. I highly recommend Christine and family!!!”
“Traci is amazing, very responsive and my dog has so much fun at her house! She goes out of her way to make special accommodations for my big boy and I couldn’t be more grateful to her!”
“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”
“Anthony took absolutely wonderful care of my Labrador, Channel, during a long 40-day stay at his home. The entire experience was amazing! Channel felt so loved, welcomed, and right at home from the start. Leaving a pet for such an extended period can be stressful, but Anthony completely put our minds at ease. He was incredibly attentive, kept in touch regularly, and sent plenty of photos so we could see how happy she was. He truly treated her like his own. I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“We have booked Nancy multiple times for boarding and drop in dog walks! Our dogs love her! Nancy is very communicative and very accommodating to our schedule! We trust Nancy with our pups, especially with our senior dog!”
“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”
“Kelly was awesome, she kept me updated and sent lots of photos. I could tell my Labrador Retreiver had a fun time while there. Kelly has quite an extensive assortment of dog toys, to help keep her dog and my dog entertained. She also took him to the dog park and he got to play with other dogs too. Thanks so much Kelly, great job!”
“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.”
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.
“Camila is so sweet and treated our girl like family while we were away. She sent updates and pictures too! I highly recommend her and we will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our two pups for over a week! Communication was great, and she consistently sent photos to keep us updated. I could tell the pups enjoyed their stay with Michelle, and we'll definitely try to book with her again in the future.”
“Michael is a very friendly guy and a great sitter. Michael waited in front of his building to welcome Theo when I dropped him off and Michael took him to get a pup cup immediately which is Theo favorite thing to do. Overall, Theo really enjoyed his stay with Michael.”
“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!”
“Erin and her family were wonderful with my dog. They were super welcoming and kept me up to date better than any other sitter we’ve used. They’ll be our new go to in the Northern VA area!”
“Candace is nothing short of an Angel! My dog Ace has been with been with her several times and I thoroughly trust her with him. This last sitting was super last minute and Candace definitely saved the day (week). Don’t walk…run over to book with Candace. She treats Ace just like he was her own pup, I love getting the photo updates, and she’s just an overall amazingly sweet person!!!”

My dog and I had a great experience with Aiden! She took care of my dog for a month and was wonderful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of pictures and always responded very quickly to my messages. When I picked up my dog, she was happy and I could tell that she had been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend 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.

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.
