“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”
“As always, Elizabeth did a fantastic job caring for my fur baby! She sends pictures multiple times a day and always checks in to let me know how everything is going. She is always communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Jennifer is a super sitter! Maya looked so happy and healthy when we picked her up after our Labor Day trip (5 days). I received updates and photos everyday! We were a little worried Maya wouldn’t want to come home after Jennifer took such good care of her! We will be booking with Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer for giving Maya a loving, safe home away from home!”

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being.

I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
“Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again! ”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
“Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my dog for a week. I have a small dog that recently went blind and Amanda was very well versed in taking care of older dogs and dogs with disabilities. Her house is well set up for taking care of older/disabled dogs and communications with her were always instant. Amanda is also an incredibly nice and personable person in general. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Saryah went above and beyond—sending regular photos and videos, taking her on walks, and even making time for trips to the dog park. It was clear she was not just cared for, but genuinely enjoyed her stay. Our dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. We’re so grateful and will definitely be booking again!”

Amanda was amazing with my two cats! We needed a place for them to stay over the weekend while we had showings of our house and Amanda was so kind and considerate! She was able to help us last minute, and sent plenty of photos and updates. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!
My two dogs spent 9 nights with Susan and did great while I was on vacation. She is very accommodating when you have special requests regarding pet care. Her husband, Josh, is active in taking care of the dogs, too, so there is usually someone home most of the time. My dogs came home happy and tired and got to spend time with Susan's dog as well as other dogs she was watching for daycare. She sent pics throughout the time I was away. I highly recommend Susan and Josh for boarding or daycare. Will definitely leave my dogs with them again.
Grace took such great care of our puppy Myla. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Taking on a puppy is not an easy venture and we appreciate her willingness to not just watch Myla for the week but also give her lots of love and attention too!
Ashley was amazing. She and her family took fantastic care of my two dogs while I had to leave town unexpectedly for a family emergency. She updated me with pictures and videos of them every day. Will definitely use her again the next time I have to leave my fur kids behind for a little bit.
We highly recommend James! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with a non-family member, so we were very nervous! It couldn’t have gone any better. James provided us with great updates during our time away and put our minds at ease! We could tell that our guy was having a blast. He cried the entire way home because he was sad to leave! Thank you taking such good care of him, James!
MeiLin and Ben took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we dropped them off, it felt like we were leaving them with good friends, or their favorite aunt and uncle. MeiLin is an excellent communicator and kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our dogs is a little anxious, so we’re always nervous about leaving him, but they went out of their way to help him feel safe and right at home. It didn’t take long before he settled in. Our other dog, Bacon, was clearly living his best vacation with belly rubs, treats, walks, and lots of love!
Michelle & her family were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our little Kashi with them. Kashi’s tiny & a bit older, and knew she would love to cozy up with them and she did. Thanks for your you so much! We’d definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a sitter.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
