“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”
“Hilary was wonderful with my pup and even set up a meet and greet prior to my stay to ensure he was comfortable in her home. She really eased my mind about having to leave him for the first time and made sure he was happy the whole time! She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to end his stay sooner than expected due to him getting sick. She offered to care for him but I choose to have a friend come get him to take him to the vet instead just so he was with someone he knew. However, Hillary’s updates on his health during the time he was with her were thorough and helped keep me calm during this very stressful situation!”
“Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.”
“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”
“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”
“Matt was absolutely wonderful our Dalmatian, Juniper! He was also so accommodating when our flight home was cancelled resulting in us picking her up a couple hours later than originally scheduled. I would highly recommend him if you ever need a sitter for your dog, and would not hesitate to book with him in the future.”
“Lauren is AMAZING. My dog is so old and she made so many accommodations for her to make sure she was comfortable. She kept me updated with photos and I just knew she was in great hands. Will absolutely be booking again with Lauren in the future!”
“Jeff was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it definitely was clear that zeph had a great time! Jeff was very communicative and spent plenty of time to get to know both me and Zeph on a meet and greet prior to our stay. He sent plenty of pictures and updates and catered to zephyrs routine which I'm so beyond grateful for! Zeph will absolutely be visiting his now Uncle Jeff again soon! Thank you so much for being so great with Zephyr!!!”

“Christine was fantastic! She watched our dog for over a week and provided lots of updates throughout the stay. She is very communicative and easy to work with. We'll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”
“Another great stay with Cyndi! Really appreciate all of the pictures and communication she provides throughout the stay. Our pup is always well taken care of and happy while in her care. Thanks Cyndi!”
“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We had a great first time experience with Amy! She was responsive, communicative and very easy to work with. Our dog had such a great time playing with the other puppies for the weekend! We got tons of pictures from Amy every day which we loved. Will definitely book again!”
“Nicole was a fantastic dog sitter! She is very communicative and has the best set up for dogs. It's very clear how much she loves and cares for the dogs in her home. Will definitely be using Nicole's services in the future.”
“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”
“Donetta is simply amazing. She’s my only dog sitter turned friend in the RVA. She takes care of my fur baby, Blu as if she’s her own. Blu gets excited as soon as we pull up to her home. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!”

I was skeptical about booking a dog sitter since my dog usually takes a while to warm up to people. Oreo fell in love with Aaren and Jordon almost immediately! He had a blast. You can genuinely see how relaxed and joyful he was in each check in photo/video. I found my go to sitters😍
Matt is awesome!! He sends thorough updates multiple times a day with lots of pictures and will provide you with peace of mind that your pup is being cared for and enjoying themselves! His home is extremely well set up for safety and surveillance as well, so you are able to leave any concerns at the door!
This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy to find Julie and Eric. Their communication was great, they were very enthusiastic, kind, and attentive with Tanner. We felt comfortable knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. Tanner was his normal, happy self when we picked him.
Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
Kailey took great care of our 4 year old lab grand-dog, " Hank." We needed last minute help with Hank and Kailey responded and was able to take him for a same day reservation. He spent two nights with Kailey and we greatly appreciate her flexibility and the care she took of him. We ill definitely use her in the future.
Carolina was so attentive and caring with Tuna and really treated her like her own ❣️ I had to go on a long trip but Carolina's consistent updates and photos left me feeling really reassured that tuna was being cared for and was having a great time as well. Care instructions were diligently followed and her experience in caring for dogs really shines ⭐✨ would definitely recommend her boarding services and will be booking with Carolina again for future needs for sure!
Zahra was fantastic in every way! Awesome communication. My anxious pup was so well cared for every day that I was gone, and she was able to accommodate me on short notice after my other sitter ghosted me right before the holidays. I will absolutely hire her again and can't recommend her enough! Your furry friends are in great hands with her -- she truly treats them as her own -- and I am deeply appreciative of the care she gave Lacey. Would give six stars if I could!
