“Wonderful, wonderful caretaker of my most precious furbabies! Thanks so much for your flexibility during my hectic work travels!! It's good to know they are in safe and loving hands<3”
“Katherine was wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her right away. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages. My Rascal liked her a lot and did very well spending a few days with her family. Highly recommend and will hire her again the next time we need to leave him.”
“We can not say enough wonderful things about Tanisha. She is the absolute best! It is so nice to leave town and not have to worry about our boys. Love the photos she sends every day. We know our boys are well taken care of.”
“Once again our girls had the best time with Kamie & Patrick. The photos and the videos they provide us with show they have a home away from home. I'm sure the girls don't want to come home. We are very comfortable giving Kamie & Pat the responsibility of caring for our girls when we are away. They adapt their routine to fit our girls and we couldn't be happier with their service.”
“Lyra & Scott H were wonderful caretakers for our older toy poodle. They were super accommodating when our timeline changed and very responsive throughout. I would highly recommend them!”
“Outstanding!!!!!! Would give 10 stars if it would let me. They took in our “Tank” as if he was theirs. Best experience boarding him I’ve ever had! Great Family!!!! Book with confidence”
“We are so thankful that they were able to accommodate Gary on such short notice. They provided frequent updates throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gary was well cared for and treated like one of their own pets. We truly appreciate their flexibility, communication, and care. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!”
“Vianca took great care of Bo for 36 hours. We received a picture at the end of day 1 and he looked happy. When we picked him up he was happy and enrrgetic showing he had received excellent care. Thank you!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“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!!!!!”

“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years! From pet sitting for family and friends to caring for furry companions of all sizes, ages, and personalities, I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or plenty of cuddles, I provide patient, attentive, and loving care. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. Every pet deserves to feel loved, and I’m always happy to provide a little extra spoiling! I have a very flexible schedule and work primarily from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your furry family members! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, companionship, or a little extra love and attention, I enjoy working with pet parents to create a schedule that fits their needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a welcoming, pet-friendly townhome with plenty of indoor space for your furry friend to relax, play, and feel right at home. My community features beautiful, spacious walking paths, perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and exercise. Pets are welcome to enjoy my home rather than being confined to one area, and crating is available if that’s part of their normal routine or their owner’s preference. I believe in maintaining consistency, so I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedules, walking routines, and individual care instructions. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands! 🐾
“What a God send! Janeen is such a kind and caring individual with obvious patience and compassion. She asked all kinds of follow up questions to make sure kitty would be as comfortable as possible in his home away from home. Janeen was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the day every day. The family even moved some items around to allow kitty to climb on and around freely. I wish I lived closer to this wonderful family as I would 100% use their services again. They were thoughtfully accommodating knowing we were already away from home on vacation and even made some suggestions for local activities my family and I could visit. Do not scroll pass this couples profile I highly recommend this home for your pet baby needs.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Gloucester Point can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Gloucester Point 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 Gloucester Point.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gloucester Point. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Gloucester Point 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
