“If you love your dog, you want this family to pet board/sit while you’re away. Phenomenal to work with. They love animals and it shows with the care they take. I am very particular about what sort of people are allowed to watch my dog (commutative, social, can follow the walking scheduling etc) and they passed with flying colors.”
“Jona was great. She sent very frequent updates and pictures each day. She was responsive and thoughtful with her care. Mochi usually doesn’t eat while we are away, but he ate all his food while staying with Jona. I think that says something about her! 10/10 would recommend.”
“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”
“Emmanuel went above and beyond taking care of our dog who got really sick right after we left on vacation. We really appreciate the extra time, care, and attention and Kubo had a great time with Emmanuel and the pack.”
“Marcela is wonderful! I appreciate that she was able to take in my pup at the last minute. She sent daily photo and status updates. I was able to reach her when I needed and she would be super responsive. Prior to boarding, she was patient, answered all of my questions, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Thank you, Marcela!”
“Kay and Marc were fantastic! They took excellent care of my two dogs and treated them like family. Kay updated me every day and sent pictures. I will continue to use Marc and Kay every time I’m away. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Kay and Marc!”
“Thoroughly enjoyed having them as my puppy's pet sitters. They were great, very communicative, lots of pictures, lots of texts. Would use them anytime again. Can recommend anytime.”
“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great with my husky. They were flexible with my situation and ensured my dog was in a comfortable place. They took him to the dog park and treated him as part of their own family. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Nequellette watched my cat for almost a week. He looked like he was having a blast with her and her own cats. She sent photos and updates regularly. Will definitely ask Nequellette to cat sit again.”
“10/10 experience! I genuinely feel like Cocoa found her second family. They were absolutely amazing with her from start to finish and treated her like she was one of their own. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured knowing she was happy, safe, and being completely spoiled with love and attention. You can tell they truly care about the dogs they watch and do so much more than just “pet sit.” They made Cocoa feel at home, and that means everything to me. I never once felt worried or uneasy while she was with them while away on my trip because they were so attentive and communicative. I honestly could not have asked for a better family to care for my girl. They did a phenomenal job, and I am beyond grateful to have found people I can genuinely trust with her. I will absolutely be using them again in the future and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for loving, dependable, and trustworthy pet care. Cocoa was clearly in the best hands, and I know she will be so excited to go back! 🐾❤️”
“Michelle was amazing!! We had a family emergency where we needed a dog sitter ASAP. Michelle was very responsive and promptly accepted our request with open arms with no hesitation. Michelle and family were very welcoming! During our doggo’s stay, Michelle updated me constantly with adorable pictures and videos of the ample play and generous green space that Blaze enjoyed at Michelle’s property!! Blaze made plenty of friends and had a blast. Thank you Michelle and family!”
“Rae was absolutely great to work with when we had to take a trip shortly after adopting our pup, Moxie. It was clear from the meet and greet that she knows dogs well, and even though Moxie is still being trained on some things, Rae was great by giving us additional tips and tricks that we can use going forward and worked very well with her. Moxie had a great time playing with Rae's pups as well so it was great that she got some additional socializing too! We would recommend Rae and will be repeat customers”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”
“I had an amazing experience with Paula! She took such great care of my dog and sent frequent videos, photos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She took him on regular walks, and he absolutely loved playing with her wonderful dogs. I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!”
“Nothing but positive things to say about this stay. Great communication, daily photos, accommodating pickup/drop-off time, and reassurance that Mochi will be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“What can I say about Vincent? Well, if you want the best of the best, he is it. This was the first time I had to hire a sitter to watch my fur baby, Barkley. I had some concerns about leaving him with someone because I'm a little bit of the anxious type. Vincent made this experience for both Barkley and I very enjoyable. Vincent is a loving, caring and efficient dog sitter. He is very conscientious and made Barkley's stay comfortable and enjoyable. I know this because I have a complete play by play of my pup's stay via pix and video from the time that Barkley was in his care. I highly recommand him! And when I'm in the area, I will request his services again. Believe me, you will not be disappointed ?”

Amillita is amazing! We left Maia with her for boarding and she has gone above and beyond in taking care of wMaia. She has taken her for long walks and plays in the backyard and she has even brushed Maia’s teeth before bedtime. In addition, she sent a lot of updates and photos, which we really appreciate! We couldn’t be more happy and satisfied. We are so happy with her service and we highly recommend her! Thank you, Amillita!
Dan was great - he watched my dog for an extended stay and she had the best time. Dan was always responsive and provided daily updates with photos. He is a true dog lover and takes the time to understand your dog's needs (and quirks!) and clearly has experience dealing with all types of personalities. He has a great setup and an awesome fenced backyard that is perfect for exploring. I would 100% trust him to watch Stella again!
Alexa has been an incredibly reliable dog walker for Envy! Envy is always excited to see her, gets great photos, and some bonus snuggles. This was the first time Envy boarded with Alexa and she couldn't be happier! She was well taken care of and I was at ease knowing Envy was with happy company.
Great experience with Kevin and Dakota! Found them with about a week notice and they responded to my questions immediately. They then asked for a quick meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit, which it obviously was, and I dropped off our two dogs. They already had kennels so I didn't have to lug mine over there and back. We got regular photos to let us know everything was going well. Couldn't recommend more!
We had a wonderful experience with Fabiana! She was incredibly communicative, always responded promptly, and kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was happy, well cared for, and in good hands. We truly appreciated how attentive and reliable she was throughout our time away. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Ahmed was awesome!! We have an anxious dog who has difficulty with thunderstorms, other dogs and new surroundings. He took detailed notes on how to care for Waffle and gave me frequent updates. I love they he only takes one dog at a time and his home is very peaceful and pleasant. I would not hesitate one bit to use him again.
Bob is a delight! He was so accommodating and flexible with my sweet old girl. He was very kind and took her on many walks within her limits. He was quick and responsive and I could tell my girl felt comfortable the whole time. He really knows dogs and loves caring for them. Will absolutely be hitting up Bob again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Fort Belvoir can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fort Belvoir home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fort Belvoir.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Fort Belvoir sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
