“Carly was great. She allowed me to bring my pup inside to ensure she was in a safe place— I appreciated that! Very friendly and took great care of her. I’m sure we will rebook in the future.”
“Jennifer and family sent pics every day and even trained my dog to sit and shake while we were gone. She loved their three dogs, the doggie door, and the large fenced yard along the river. I can’t imagine a better experience for my sweet dog. Thank you!”
“At first you know, I was really skeptical and somebody watching my dogs. But this lady did a fantastic job. My dogs got to play all day. They got walks plus baths. My dog both really liked her and my female dog is usually skeptical on new people. She did an amazing job and I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch my dogs for me. I found my main person.”
“Erica was absolutely amazing with Ariel!!! She sent pictures and updates regularly and my pup was super happy the whole time!!! I will definitely use her again!!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rita. This was a last minute trip that we couldn’t take a pup with us. I don’t like leaving my girl behind, but I know she is in good hands when Rita watches her. She also sends me plenty of pictures and videos to let me know how June is doing. I can’t recommend her enough and will keep using her. This was June’s second time staying with Rita.”
“Hannah and her family are so sweet! Cece really enjoys her time with them! We got the perfect amount of pictures and updates through out her stay. We will use Hannah every time we can from now on.”
“Ken loves on my pups when I’m out of town and they are so happy! I get the cutest pics from him showing their fun walks, hikes, playtime in the creek. I never know what they’ll do, I just know they’re being loved on, played with and worn out and I can’t be there to handle, I’m so glad Ken does!”
“This is our second time leaving Kiddo with Mikayla and Skyler. They took really good care of our little boy. We surely got back a happy and tired pup. I would totally recommend them.”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom had as many as six dogs at a time, and I was actively involved in their daily care from a very young age. We also had multiple litters of puppies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, rabbits, and hamsters, making me comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I've spent a lifetime around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most recently, my two beloved dogs passed away. While I'm not quite ready to bring new pets into my home yet, I miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to continue spending time with pets, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️ I work from home with a flexible job. I am able to take care of your pets on whatever schedule works best for them and you. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I also live in a cul-de-sac so it’s a safe neighborhood to walk pets in! I have no other pets living in my home so all my attention can be on your baby or babies!
“David was amazing. I felt secure and happy that my pup was being taken care of. He kept communication and sent plenty of pictures. I would rebook again if I have to travel again.”
“I highly recommend Ashlee. She took really good care of my dog. She sent pictures everyday of him and he looked very content n happy. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you very much again”
“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”
“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“There are just no words for how awesome Leigha and her family are! Jackson had a wonderful time (as he napped most of the evening after pick up) and receiving pictures of him as part of their "family" were awesome!! Thank you so much for being so awesome with my baby boy!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Blackmore 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 Blackmore.
<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 Blackmore 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.
