“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”
“I was nervous about leaving Lola on a long trip. She had been a shelter dog who was abandoned in an apartment and a previous attempt at house-sitting left her so anxious that she opened up some stitches from a past surgery. I needn't have worried. Stephanie was a great host. Lola had a wonderful time with her and her kids, and she really understood the needs of caring for a shelter dog and one who is a bully breed. I already have booked her for my next trip and am grateful that Lola will be in her care!”
“Chrismar is an excellent young woman. She took great care of Milo; she took him for walks at the park, let him sleep with her in her bed, and always kept me informed about my puppy. She is very responsible and caring. I would definitely request her services again. 🐶💛”
“Once again, Christine takes the cake for giving our pup Brie the most amazing weekend! Brie had a wonderful time with Christine and friends, and Christine takes her health and safety seriously so that I never needed to worry about her and could enjoy the weekend away. Thanks to Christine for always being the very best! Highly recommend!”
“Jordan provided daily pictures and updates which let me know my dog was doing well during her overnight boarding. My dog came home calm and well behaved. Jordan repacked my dogs treats, toys and things in her overnight bag. My dog had a good time during her boarding and got along with the family and the family dog”
“John was great! He was very flexible upon booking, accommodating a last minute stay as I had a family emergency pop up. He maintained contact throughout and gave my anxious pup the extra care and attention she needs.”
“Theodore always has a great time with Amanda and her family. She's also very flexible and communicative with pickup and dropoff times, which we appreciate!”
“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“Tamara was a wonderful sitter who provided timely responses, pictures, and updates throughout the duration of my dogs time with her. I highly recommend Tamara.”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle for six days. It was our first time leaving him with a pet sitter, so we were quite nervous. From the moment we met Diana, her warm, friendly and caring personality immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos, videos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she cared for our dog as if he were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“Terez was great, I have a special needs dog and she did so good taking of him. She clearly loves dogs and has a kind way about her with them. Highly recommend her service. She provided regular feedback on the stay and sent some cute pictures of my guy looking comfortable with her”
“Sabrina was an awesome sitter for our dog! She was incredibly responsive before the booking, attentive to every detail, and very engaged throughout the stay. She sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her home was lovely and had plenty of space for walks. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Kelly was great! Extremely responsive and sweet to our pup. She was also flexible with pickup plans which we really appreciated. 10/10 recommend and will use again.”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with Beth and we had a wonderful experience! Frequent, thorough updates paired with great pictures and videos helped us feel at ease the entire time we were gone. Big thank you to Beth and Bastien for making our girl feel at home :)”
“Helena and Nathan were awesome! I was initially worried to leave Raider with someone new but they were a godsend and came through for us. They were super flexible and accommodating and provided updates, pictures, videos. Raider enjoyed his time with their family and almost didn’t want to come home lol”
“Kiera was amazing! She was incredibly responsive, sent me several videos, and kept me updated throughout the day. Lucky and Mushu got along so well and seemed to have a great time together. I felt completely at ease knowing Lucky was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Kiera again!”

Tien was amazing! I had to go out of town for a 3-day of work trip and at the last minute my regular sitter got the flu and I had to scramble that morning trying to find someone else to keep my dog with just a couple hours before my train left. She jumped in last minute and she even picked up and drop off Maya, which was an absolute lifesaver! Tien took very good care of my fur baby and I will definitely be using her again.
Sunny took incredible care of our dog Huxley. She provided him with lots of love, tons of activity, and a safe environment. Sunny is very professional and clearly invested in providing good care, including medication and the demanding grooming requirements of a Doodle. We were able to book last minute, as well as organize pick-up and drop-off. We will definitely look to book Sunny again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog!!
Ewelina was amazing with Remy. She took the time to meet our pup a few days before drop off and was so patient with her timidness. Throughout the weekend Ewelina kept us updated on how Remy was doing and sent some super cute pictures. We definitely recommend her, trust her, and would use her again!
5⭐️ Petcare! Stefanie and Emmanual were incredible from beginning to end. Great coordination and communication for a pre-stay meet & greet to confirm compatibility and meet their fur baby. They asked all the right questions upfront, have a super convenient location and provided me with the sweetest regular updates to show my pup was right at home with their family. I couldn’t be any happier with the level of care they provided my baby girl while I traveled. She came home super happy and I felt such peace of mind knowing she was in a loving home. Looking forward to the next stay!
Jaylyn is one of the BEST sitters I've ever had to board my dog Piper!! From the start, she had great communication- was flexible, accommodating to shifting drop off and pick up times, and quick to respond. She asked thoughtful questions and was eager to get to know my dog. Then, she took such great care of Piper: taking her on long walks, to the dog park, and giving treats for tricks. Piper was actually sad to leave Jaylyn which was a first for her! I highly recommend Jaylyn as a sitter and we'll be using her services again for sure!

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 Myer 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 Myer.
Tip: 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 Myer 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.
