“I’m so thankful for Connie, she took care of my pup and showed so much patience with him. She sent so many pictures and videos of him playing inside and outside, and even showing him working on an agility course! I will 100% be using her services again in the future and would recommend her to a friend with confidence.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“I cannot recommend Kathryn highly enough. Our little dog Ruthie loved her stay and I loved the speedy communication and top notch care of our pup. She got 2 long walks a day and was treated with kindness and love like she was one of Kathryn’s own dogs! I have never felt more comfortable or pleased with dog care- it was a vacation for our furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Sonja and Phil were absolutely incredible with Marley! They provided top-tier care and kept me updated with the best pictures the entire time, which gave me total peace of mind while I was traveling. They are an awesome, genuinely caring team, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters for their dog!”
“Ligia provided outstanding, professional and technical service! She absolutely conducts herself with valuing customer service for both myself and my pet! She was flexible with changes to our agreement, constantly communicating, and even trained my dog on a new ‘trick’ in just 2-days! I highly recommend Ligia (as I am sure my per Koda does too) as she sets a high standard in dog boarding! Thank you Ligia!”
“Thank you Julie for taking such great care of my pups. I loved the pictures and videos that you sent. The dogs told me they felt right at home and enjoyed meeting their new pup friends. They especially loved the huge fenced in yard and freedom they felt. They can't wait to come back.”
“My husband and I could not be more pleased with all the love and attention to detail that they provided for our dog Spot for 5 days while we went on an out of town trip. Spot is somewhat shy and anxious, but this wonderful family provided for all his needs as evident in all the pictures and comments that we received several times through out the days of our trip. Any one looking for that special family to sit your pet, you have found them!”
“Cannot say enough amazing things Jacob and Sarah. Boarded my puppy with them for thanksgiving and she was treated as if she was part of the family. I will always chose them first for my boarding needs.”
“We're repeat clients, and it's always a great experience. Kyon truly enjoys his time with this family! Yeny and Ray are warm, welcoming, and treat every pet as if they were their own. Their genuine love and care for animals really shines through.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Jorge and his family took great care of our dog Mishka. They have a wonderful back yard for a dog to run around in, and they made our dog feel right at home. We'd be very happy to have her stay with them again!”
“Martisa's service was incredible and we're willing to use her services in the near future. Very compassionate with Sandy. Great walks and having the social connection towards my dog. Kudos to Martisa”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and our first stay with Warren. Our dog, Captain Jack, had a wonderful stay. Warren kept me updated with pictures daily. Jack had plenty of playmates to keep him busy, in fact he didn't want to leave. Warren went out of his way to make sure Jack had a good stay and that the whole process was as easy and convenient as possible. We will definaely be booking with Warren again!”
“Heather was wonderful with my dog, Homer. She sent me lots of pictures and some videos of him settling in and enjoying his stay with her - it was very reassuring, I knew I left him in good hands. She took such good care of him and even washed his bed. I would definitely leave Homer with Heather again next time I'm out of town and can't bring him with me.”
“From start to finish, I couldn’t be happier with the care given to Toto by Dayonna. She immediately put my mind at ease upon arrival to her home and kept me updated above and beyond with photos the entire stay. I always worry that Toto is too peculiar to leave in someone else’s hands and that he will be difficult but I’m very pleased to receive positive feedback from Dayonna. 10/10 would recommend her services to anyone who asks and would be happy to utilize her again in the future. Thank you thank you thank you!!”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“I felt totally comfortable leaving my pup Archie in Tahliyah’s care. She was very communicative and accommodating throughout the meet up and boarding process, and was very thorough in checking that Archie would be a good fit in her home. Archie is young and high energy and she was well equipped to deal with that having a high energy puppy herself. She made sure that Archie had everything he needed and accommodated any specific requests we had for his care. Archie and and her puppy Rocket got along great and I was happy to see that he had a friend who could match his energy throughout his stay. Her home is well equipped for puppy boarding with a dedicated puppy play room and nice backyard. Tahliyah sent me multiple pictures and videos everyday and was quick to communicate any issues. I would not hesitate to board again with Tahliyah and plan on doing do in the future whenever possible.”
“Cheralyn is absolutely amazing with our corgi! It's been difficult to find someone to care for our pup as she is on a rigorous medication schedule for epilepsy. Cheralyn keeps us updated on her with photos and shows genuine concern regarding making sure our pup is safe and well cared for. Thank you so much for being so trustworthy and reliable with your care Cheralyn!”
“Rebeca and Roman took very good care of my dogs Hope and Bella for two days. They texted me some pictures of my dogs to show they were doing good and that they got along with their two dogs. Rebeca kept me informed on how my dogs were doing through two days, I would recommend anyone to use them for dog sitters. They were very nice to us when we stopped by their house to drop off our dogs on the first day. We trust them and we will use them again in the future.”

Larissa was a truly caring and attentive dog sitter. She kept me updated and made sure my pup felt comfortable, which I really appreciated. It’s clear she cares about the dogs she looks after. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.
Larissa did a wonderful job taking care of Indigo! She kept me updated with pictures and messages so I always knew how my pup was doing.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Goby 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 Goby 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 Goby.
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 Goby. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Goby 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.
