“I can always tell that my dog has an amazing time at Michelle’s when he stays with her and her family! Thank you for always taking such great care of our Mugi”
“I was out of the country for 10 days. Usually friends or family watch my dog, so I was a little nervous about using Rover. I booked with Jizelle, and she was wonderful from the first message through pick-up. She was responsive, communicative, attentive, and accommodating. I felt relaxed and reassured the entire trip I was gone. Her dogs are great too! I highly recommend her and would book again!”
“Thanks Aisha! Pickup and drop off were both super easy. Communication was excellent from initial contact and beyond. I highly recommend using Aisha for your dog boarding needs. Thank you for the pictures and videos!”
“Zeta is our beloved 9yr old, 7lb havanese dog who never does well when we travel, until now. Sophie, her dog Love, and their family took wonderful care of zeta, sending us multiple photos a day. We are so happy to have found Sophie.”
“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Christine was great with my dog Murphy! We did a quick meet and greet prior to my trip and once on the trip she sent photos and updates of how he was doing. She was super flexible with pickup time and Murphy seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Miguelina and her daughter Lindsey were amazing! They had no problem giving one of my dogs her pills and were also super accommodating with our flight delays. Our pups were right at home and seem so happy!”
“I'm so happy to have left my dog in Bethany's care! You can tell she's an animal lover and treats pets with so much care and attention. I appreciated the photo she sent me while Korben was enjoying the dog park. I'm so happy to have found Bethany and I most certainly leave Korben with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is a great sitter. She will love your dog as she loves her own pets and is welcoming to both you and your dog. She is attentive and will ease any concern you have about leaving your pet. My dog clearly felt at home with her.”
“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!”
“Joy has been an exceptional caretaker for our senior dog! She was very flexible with our odds drop off and pick up needs; she sent pictures every day; and our dog loved exploring her yard with her dog, Caz, and her daughter. We will absolutely book with Joy again!”
“We’ve boarded with Marcela for years and it’s always a good experience. It’s comforting to know that the dog we drop off is the same dog we pick up in terms of health and personality. In the past we have used different sitters and would sometimes pick up our dog only to find she was sick or injured or exhibiting bad behavior because of the house rules or lack thereof but we never have to worry about that with Marcela. Thanks for another good stay!”
“We left our two year old lab with Jennifer and Joel during a family vacation at the end of summer. We were nervous going into it because we had never left her with someone we didn’t know. I shared this with Jennifer and Joel at the meet and greet and reminded them at drop off. They sent pics and videos every day, which really helped us to feel that our girl was also “on vacation” and having a great time with their two dogs. Thanks to you both for loving her while we were away!”
“Karen was amazing. It was Ember's first time staying with anybody, and Karen made sure that Ember felt safe and comfortable. She sent pictures and updates to make sure I was comfortable too. :-).”
“Catherine and Nikhit were fantastic. They took excellent care of my pup, who was spoiled with walks and cuddles and didn't want to leave. I will be utilizing them again.”
“This was our second time using Alyce and we already have our next stay booked with Alyce and her family! Maisie loves playing with their sweet dog, Mookie, and enjoying all of the fun toys that Alyce has for the dogs. She loves playing with Alyce’s sons and enjoying the big backyard too. We highly recommend her!!”
“Maggie took excellent care of our senior dog while we were away on the longest trip our family has taken in quite some time. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Maggie after our familiarization visit. We saw clearly that she has a heart for animals, and especially older dogs. She even bought a new toy just for our dog. Maggie welcomed our bringing a portable crate and our dog's bed for the duration of the stay, which we felt helped our dog feel at home. Drop off and pick up were very smooth and timely.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franconia
Winnie loved her stay with Sweta! From the first meet and greet, Winnie was full of energy and instantly made herself comfortable with the space. For a dog with anxiety, this made me feel very at ease knowing she felt safe. When it was time for the actual stay, Winnie’s tail was wagging the whole drive over and was ready to get out the car when we pulled up. I loved receiving the pictures and updates throughout the stay and the updates. Sweta was very responsive and professional and I look forward to booking with her in the future.
We had a phenomenal experience with Catherine as a caretaker for our dog, Sadie. She went way above and beyond in making sure Sadie was loved and comfortable. She also took lots of photos and was very communicative through Sadie’s stay. We will be hiring Catherine again the next time we need a pet sitter!
Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!
is was our first time leaving Mae with someone outside our circle of friends and neighbors, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Shanna and her family were incredibly welcoming, and Mae absolutely loved their large backyard. Mae can be a little skittish in new environments, but within five minutes of arriving, she was already playing with Shanna's dog! Throughout our trip, Shanna sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Mae was happy and having a great time. By the time we brought her home, she was completely worn out from all the fun! We're so glad we found Shanna and her family. She'll absolutely be one of our go-to sitters in the future. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Shylo as our dog sitter! She was professional and accommodating, making sure our dog's needs were met while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which showed our pup happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Shylo to anyone who needs a caring dog sitter! Thank you, Shylo! J&S Ross
Behice is AMAZING! The second time she watched Teddy for me, he was healing from a ruptured abscess. Behice and her husband took exceptional care of Teddy, gave him his medications, and offered to help with any wound care. They even gave Teddy a toy that looks just like him! I can’t recommend Behice enough. I know my dog is loved, safe, and well cared for when he is with her and she keeps me updated every step of the way
I can’t recommend Melissa enough! This was my dog’s second time staying with her and as always she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Most importantly, I could tell that Oliver was genuinely loved and well cared for during his time with her, which means everything to me as a dog owner. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Melissa gave Oliver and would absolutely trust her with him again. We feel so lucky to have found her!

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, 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.
<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 Franconia sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
