“Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”
“This was my first experience leaving any of my animals with a stranger. 10 minutes after I met Jessica, I didn’t feel I was leaving him with a stranger any longer! Her and her family treated my little family member (Highway) like a family member. I am very pleased with my Rover and Jessica experience.”
“Kacie was sooooo nice and welcoming from the very 1st text to the meet & greet. She made us feel so at ease while at the meet & greet. She wanted to ensure she took care of our furbaby in the same manner as we do & that meant the WORLD to us!!!!! She took the time to ask all the pertinent & important questions and asked if we had any of her as well. She took & sent pics to us keeping us updated regularly. She made it soooo much easy for us to spend our vacation at ease knowing our furbaby was in HER CARE!!! She provided EXCELLENT CARE for Bruno!!!! He will be returning to her again in a few weeks!!! Im soooo happy to have found Kacie!!!!!”
“Another great stay with Amanda and Scott for Buddy! I can see from the pictures they send what a great time he is having and know he is loving the love he is getting.”
“We are so happy our dog was with Robin during our getaway! She was nicely cared for and happy to be around her two pups. Robin is a very responsible pet caregiver, we highly recommend her services!”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Kamie & Patrick were amazing as always. They are great about communication and take such good care of our fur babies when we’re away. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Elisabeth, thank you for caring for Juno! You sent great photos throughout the week and I felt very comfortable knowing he was having a good time at home with you and your family. Thank you so much!”
“Jamie and her kiddos welcomed Brodi in with open arms! They treated him like family, giving him all the play time and snuggles a boy could ask for! He even got spoiled with a car ride, field trip to Lowe’s, nightly energetic play time and sleeping in their bed like at home. I am soooo thankful to have someone I trust take care of my baby while I’m gone. Gives me so much peace of mind. Jamie is such a sweetheart and sent updates as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashley and Ashley took great care of my pup! Their big back yard, and friendly boxer made my guy’s stay a wonderful time. They sent some fun pictures and made sure he was safe and comfortable while I was out of town.”
About: My dog helped me write this poem to explain my worth as your Sitter! In every bark and wagging tail, I see a story, soft and frail. With patient hands and gentle grace, I make your dog's world a safer place. I know the leash is more than a rope— It’s trust, it’s care, it’s quiet hope. I walk them with joy, not just a chore, Each sniff and pause, the moment I adore. I speak their language—soft and kind With treats and toys so well-designed. I know when it's time to play or feed And when it’s time for lullaby indeed. From muddy paws to sleepy eyes, I greet each dog with no disguise. They feel it in the way I care— I am not just there, I stay aware. A bowl well-filled, a belly rubbed, a sweet cuddle, or a playful tug. I am present, calm, a steady friend, From morning light ‘til day’s soft end. What makes me a great Sitter is plain to see: You let each dog just be—and be free. I hold their hearts with quiet pride, A trusted soul, right by their side. I work from home. Even when I have to leave, it may be 2 hours at the most. So trust, your furbaby will have plenty of care and attention. There is a large dog park for your furbaby to play and run under constant supervison. I have a calm dog who is super protective and careful around puppies, toy dogs and ederly dogs. Due to my profession, I am background checked to work in school systems, and enter properties due to real estate. This is a safe and trustworthy environment for your furbaby!
“Cassandra took such good care of our two large dogs! I would highly recommend. She was flexible with our changing travel schedule and sent so many awesome pics while we were away!”
“Monica was great with my baby boy! She has a beautiful home and took very good care of him for a week! She was flexible with me and sent regular updates. Elliot loved playing with her two dogs!”
“Kristy was awesome! She sent an adorable video of our dogs playing together and assured me my dog was settling in just fine. I was very anxious leaving my baby with someone else for the first time but would 100% book with Kristy again. My dog had the best time! Thank you so much Kristy!”
“We were so pleased with the care our dogs received from Caitlin and Andrew. Caitlin sent lots of photos which we loved seeing. Our little chihuahua can be challenging, but they handled her with no problems. Will definitely use Rover again, and Caitlin and Andrew in particular.”

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 Genovar 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 Genovar.
<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 Genovar 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.
