“I had an extremely positive experience boarding my dog with Shane. He has a really nice environment for dogs - a cozy indoor area in his house and a large yard where they can play. Shane provided me daily updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. Prior to boarding, he did a meet-and-greet with me so he could see if my dog is a good fit which made me confident that the dogs he watches are well-behaved and get along. He treated my dog very kindly and I would not hesitate to entrust him with my dog in the future.”

Ashley is the best for caring for my pup Rosie. Ashley is loveable, caring, professional, responsive, and very considerate. As long as Ashley stays on Rover - she is the gal I will call on when I need a sitter for Rosie. Very trustworthy and reliable. I am a repeat client :) I highly recommend Ashley for her services....plus she also has a sweet pup named Cosmo and she cares for you pup like it is her own.

Erin watched our dog, Penny, for 10 days while we were out of town. I asked to meet her and her pups before arranging such a long stay and she encouraged it :) This set my mind at ease being able to meet in person first. At drop off, I shared I was feeling a bit anxious leaving Penny for a longer stay and Erin offered to communicate often. Each day, she touched base with me at least once with pictures, videos, and messages about how Penny was doing. This made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thanks Erin!

Sabine & Michelle were wonderful. We had a meet and greet to make sure their fur babies and our pups got along. I really appreciate that they only take one boarding at a time. The house was quiet and comfortable and welcoming for our babies. They could play or relax, have plenty of attention and nap time. Everything went great. I 100% would book with them again.

Kyle was absolutely wonderful with my French bulldogs, Buddha and Bodhi! They had such a great time running around, playing outside, and enjoying his perfectly fenced-in yard. He gave both boys the individual attention they needed, which I really appreciated because they have very different personalities. Kyle stayed on schedule with their feedings and medication, and he sent pictures and videos several times a day so I always knew they were happy and doing well. He was also very responsive and attentive over text whenever I checked in. Pick-up and drop-off were both easy and convenient. I highly recommend Kyle and will definitely book with him again. Buddha and Bodhi cannot wait to be repeat visitors!

We really can't imagine having a better couple to leave our dog with. They sent us pictures and messages every day showing Sophie cuddled on their lap, taking long walks through their neighborhood and on forest trails, rolling in the grass... She had diarrhea for a couple days at the beginning of her stay and they fed her chicken and rice and dropped off a poop sample at our Vet to make sure it wasn't anything more than nerves. She has stayed with them before (but it had been awhile) and was obviously happy to see Thomas when we dropped her off and was very affectionate and happy with Sue when we came to pick her up. We highly recommend Sue and Thomas to sit your pet!

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 Hunt home-away-from-home, 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 Hunt.

<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 Hunt 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 , 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 .

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.
