“Emily did a great job hosting our dogs and provided pictures everyday. They enjoyed her fenced in backyard and I appreciated that she limits the amount of dogs each day. That helps them not be overly stimulated. We hope to use her again if we are in the area. Thanks Emily!”
“I am once again very grateful for Shannon’s excellent care for my dog Roger. He feels at home. He gets excited when we take him to her house. I definitely recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Very prompt with responses. It was beyond helpful they were able to pick my dogs up. I am sure my dogs were in good hands and had lots of exercise. THANK YOU!”
“I had a great experience! Communication was quick and responsive throughout the process, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she has experience working with dogs. Her confidence and understanding of animals put me at ease, and I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Samantha kept great communication with me and sent frequent updates that were so appreciated! She was also really accommodating of my unknown/changing schedule for drop off and pick up.”
“Kimberly is amazing! Kira is usually a worrywart, but she settled in and really seemed to enjoy her stay! I truly enjoy getting pictures of Kira every day! I won't hesitate to use her from now on! Thank you soooo much!”
“Donna always lavishes Sailor with love. He was excited to see her and loved every moment of his stay! He even got some doggy massages in her care! Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Matthew & Erin were able to accommodate my last-minute request to watch my husky. They were great with her, sent me photo updates & she looked so happy! Would definitely book with them again!”
“Marah was a dream! I had to leave the state for work and then a vacation for almost three weeks. My typical sitter was unavailable and I reached out to Marah in a pinch. I can’t say enough great things! She was amazingly helpful, communicative, and welcoming. When I arrived to drop off Obi, I could tell how much knowledge she had about dogs, especially ones that may be a bit nervous with new people (like my Obi). She made me feel so comfortable, talking to me about her typical schedule, when she sends pictures, that I can reach out whenever, and about what she was noticing in my dog’s behavior as he was warming up to the new environment. She has such a warm personality and attention to detail which set me at ease. She waited with me and Obi outside until he seemed comfortable, calm, and interested enough to enter her home. This spoke SO much about her patience and ability to care for the animals she sits. Throughout the time I was gone, I received multiple pictures of Obi each night which helped me to feel at ease and was almost immediate to respond when I reached out to check in. When I picked him up, Marah gave me a wonderful synopsis of my dog’s experience with her as well as some things she noticed about his behavior (for example, she noticed he wasn’t as territorial with food as I thought he may be or how friendly he was with new people). I could tell how tired and happy my pup was from running in her large fenced in backyard with the other cute dogs she was watching. He clearly loved his stay. We will definitely return to Marah in the future. I feel so lucky to have found her!!”
“David Is calm and caring and took great care of Watson. I don’t often leave Watson but when I do he usually comes home unnerved. That was not the case this time. Thank you!”
“Susan and Ken gave our dog the best care that he has received from any sitter in the Roanoke/Blacksburg area, including in-home sitters. We received lots of updates during the care period and our dog was returned happy and tired. We will definitely look to these folks for our boarding needs in the future.”
“Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!”
“She's definitely easy to communicate with. Left my kitty cat with her last Thanksgiving and she welcomed with open arms. I'm sure my baby had fun with her. Thanks for having her!”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“John is absolutely wonderful with Ozzy. He was patient with him helping him overcome his anxiety. John focuses all his attention on your fur baby and gives individualized care. I don’t like leaving Ozzy, but when he visits with John I know he is in excellent hands.”
“Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”

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 Glenvar 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 Glenvar.
<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 Glenvar 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.
