“Great sitter. Good communications about my 2 boxers while I was on vacation. Sent me pics and short clips of my dogs! Would highly recommend as long as my dogs have room when I need her to keep them.😂”
“Kayla was awesome with our dog, and super flexible. We had to go out of town unexpectedly and I’m so glad we found her. She even watched our baby ducklings for us. Highly recommend!”
About: From playful puppies to wise old souls, I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Every tail wag gets the love and attention it deserves love. I’m currently only working part-time, but when i get home I have plenty of time with my pets. My husband also works from home, so we would be a team on Rover! I live on a secluded 65 acre farm, we also can provide fencing if needed. We also can crate your baby if needed, but our pets roam inside and outside since this land is isolated from the road.
About: I’ve taken care of 3 rescue dogs and a rescue cat. I love learning new dogs and cats and to see what kind of personality each one has. I’ve cared for animals for 7 years. I’m always on time and very dependable. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have plenty of time to play and interact with your pups. Whatever you need I’m available to assist you. I have a fenced in large kennel area where pups can run and play. For those that are trained to run and play and come back to my commands these dogs will have 6 acres to run and play. There’s plenty of space for your pups to run and play. I am available to take care of your pets as a house sitter or to do drop in visits multiple times a day. Whatever your needs may be I assure you I’ll be able to accommodate you.
“Cheyanne took such great care of our dog Ace while we were on vacation! I can tell that he had so much fun and enjoyed his stay. Without a doubt, we will continue to use her services in the future!?”
“I couldn’t recommend Erica enough! I had a last minute out of town trip, and she was happy to accommodate. When we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and knew exactly how to care for my pup. She provided regular updates and pictures of all the fun Norman and the other pups were having. He is a high energy dog, and her place was the perfect spot for him to get out and exercise! She truly went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Erica, for taking care of Norman while I was away!”
About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule.

To the best of my ability!
“Madison was wonderful! Her communication skills are great. She was so enthusiastic when I brought Rambler over for his stay that it made me feel extremely comfortable. She sends pictures and provides updates which is a pet owner and lovers dream. I would definitely recommend Madison to anyone looking to get the best care for their dog while away! Thanks Madison!”
“Taylor has completely made my vacation! I was in keywest for a few days of a MUCH needed relaxation. I currently own a pet care business in Philadelphia, so having my dog Alfie with me on vacation was a priority for me. Taylor was transparent with me about Alfie’s time with her and even gave me access to her home so that I could come and take him on adventures when she wasn’t there! I am so impressed and satisfied with my experience. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with my husband and three friendly dogs and two cats who love to socialize with new friends (as long as they are calm and polite around cats). Living on 5 beautiful acres, we have plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air. There’s also a fenced area for safe outdoor time and a quiet room inside for pets who prefer their own space or need downtime away from others. I treat every pet as part of the family - providing personalized care, a comfortable environment, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s an overnight stay or doggy daycare, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and right at home. I work from my home office, so I’m here throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy afternoon naps. Dogs enjoy frequent outdoor time or inside play depending on the weather and their comfort level. While I do occasionally step away for short appointments, pets are never left alone for more than two hours at a time, and always in a safe, comfortable space. Your pets will get lots of love, care, and companionship - not just supervision, but genuine quality time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Cleanliness and safety are part of my daily routine: food and water are refreshed regularly, litter and waste are promptly managed, and all playtime is supervised. Your pets will enjoy a spacious, peaceful environment, balanced socialization, multi-pet expertise, personalized attention, flexible accommodations, and all-day care. I keep a close eye on each guests’ comfort, routine, and personality, ensuring they get the right mix of activity, affection, and rest. With me, your met will enjoy country-style play, cozy indoor time, and loving attention.

“Kitty took wonderful care of Einstein while we were away for the holidays. He’s an energetic, enthusiastic boy and she kept him exercised and happy and calmly redirected him when he tried to follow his nose somewhere he shouldn’t. Normally when I pick him up from boarding, he’s so excited and relieved to see me and can’t wait to leave, but when we picked him up from Kitty’s, he came and greeted us happily and then led us back in like he wanted to show us all the fun things he did while we were gone (just like a kid at camp!) We will definitely be in touch with Kitty next time Einstein needs a place to stay!”

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Galax 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 Galax.
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 Galax 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.
