“This was our dog's first stay with Jona, and a long one (three weeks). She was a great communicator, sending regular updates and photos about all activities, as well as quickly responding to our questions. Nike clearly had a great time and was returned in great shape (an odd thing to say, perhaps, but bad things can happen in this business). We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Truffle was so excited to spend the weekend with Sweta again. He was ready to play and completely made himself at home. It just goes to show how comfortable and safe he feels with Sweta. We are very appreciative of all she has done to take care of him.”
“Aisha was so great with my dog Gumby! She allowed me to introduce my pup to her prior to her stay so she could warm up and sent me lots of pictures of her during her stay also! I would definitely recommend! Her dog is also super precious! :)”
“Jodee and AJ are very experienced and took great care of my pup even providing pictures and updates. Being her first time with a rover I was slightly apprehensive but it couldn’t have gone smoother. The family was very attentive!”
“Tehani did a phenomenal job at taking care of our pup while we were away on a trip. We were given frequent updates and we can tell she really treats our pup with love. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Marcela was very flexible with timing, thorough in following instructions, and took extra care to make sure my dog was comfortable and safe post-op. It was nice to be able to relax on my trip knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Jennifer & Joel provided my dog a welcoming stay for my dog. Their dogs were also very friendly and playful. I received daily updates and they were very responsive with my messages. They were also flexible with our pick up times. Will definitely consider booking with them again in the future.”
“Once again Winnie had a terrific time staying with Ann and Rick, their dogs and the dogs who also came to stay. She was through their front door and had disappeared playing with her pack before I could get to the kitchen with her food. The daily photos and updates reassured me that all was wear and freed me from worry so I could enjoy my holiday.”
“Andrea was absolutely fabulous!! She kept my dog for a couple of days while we moved. My dog became immediately attached to her and she handled both my dog and hers so so well! My dog typically doesn’t like other dogs, however Andrea understood both of their personalities intuitively and was able to adjust to them to make each comfortable and even tolerable of each other. When I came to pick Josie up I saw they were even sharing toys!! ? 5/5 highly recommend! I will be rebooking Andrea in future.”
“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
“As always Melanie and Greg (and their two adorable kids) did a fantastic job caring for our pups. They’re so attentive, loving, and genuinely love dogs! They sent great pictures and our pups were exhausted when they got home! Absolutely will use them again.”
“Gail is amazing. So much so that I don’t giz wanted to come home lol. She sent several updates and made me feel at ease. This is my first time using the service and I was extremely nervous but Gail put all my nerves at ease. I will highly recommend Gail if you would like a caring person who will treat your dog as her own. Thank you Gail you are AWESOME!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing with caring for my puppy! She was ever so kind to keep her an extra day when I encountered flight issues getting back home. Dior was as well taken care of and she truly enjoyed her time. Cannot wait to book her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franconia
Viviana was wonderful, she welcomed our two doggies, including our puppy, at the last minute while we were traveling. She took the time to ask about their needs and followed up with thoughtful questions to make sure she understood their care. She was very communicative, and her frequent photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciated her patience and attentiveness, and her family was also incredibly caring and loving with our pups. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Guri and Masa and would book with her again and absolutely recommend her!
Liz and her entire family are the most wonderful sitters! They cared for our King Charles Cavalier puppy for 3 weeks and were so thorough, thoughtful, and communicative. Our puppy had the best time ever and we are so grateful that we found Liz. We cannot recommend this family enough! Your dog will be very well cared for and have so much fun.
Danielle was great from start to finish! She eased my mind that shadow would be okay. She took care of him like he was her own and it helped that shadow loved playing with her dog as well. She sent a lot of updates and videos that made me feel better! He had such a good time and he was properly cared for. If you want your pet to be treated with love and care, definitely reach out to her!
Marco was great! He took care of my little pup so well and was so flexible accommodating when my travel plans changed from what I had originally told him. He’s very responsive as well. Took him on lots of walks and I was so glad my pup had other dogs to play with.
Paula did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Beau and could not be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. She consistently updated me throughout the day and sent photos and videos. She treated him as if he were her very own. He was well exercised with walks throughout the day and a long evening stroll, and his diet was carefully attended to without us even having to ask. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough —

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Franconia 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 Franconia 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 Franconia.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franconia. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Franconia 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
