âI think one of the best signs of a great sitter is a tired pup!! Addie had the best time with Michelle. From the very beginning, they were kind, caring, and treated our pet like their own. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our fur baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!â
âKatina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katinaâs cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!â
âThey were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.â
âHillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.â
âPaula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)â

About: Having had dogs and cats my entire life, I am well prepared to take care of your furry friend. Having had a dog with severe allergies, I am also prepared to take care of any pets with chronic health conditions that require more attention As a medical student in a hybrid learning environment, I have a flexible schedule that provides me the time to tend to your pets as needed. Caring for my own dog, your pet can fit seamlessly into our schedule for walks, bathroom breaks, and play time. I take all pets on several walks a day, providing them ample time to exercise and play outside. In caring for my clients home, I will make sure their pet abides by all house rules and maintain a clean living space for their home.
âOur dog had a great time with Tina! She was very attentive and keep us up-to-date everyday. We appreciated that she sent us so many pictures/texts about how Hootie was playing/eating/getting along with other dogs. Hootie had such a fun time!â
About: I have taken care all types of dogs of different breeds and sizes and difficulty. Iâll treat them like theyâre my own. Show them the love and affection that they need. Iâm currently working full time but am only gone 4-6 hours out of the day so Iâll have plenty of time to love and care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and 4 of my own fur babies to keep your company while Iâm gone. I am also able to crate them if needed.
âJayden was great and our dog seemed to have a great time! We were quite comfortable leaving him with Jayden despite never having met him before. Jayden was very communicative and very flexible which we very much appreciated.â
âAnnie took the best care of my Rudy and even met me in Charlottesville to return the dog bed after I forgot it at her house. I highly recommend Annie for your pet sitting needs :)â

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Gold Hill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Gold Hill 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 Gold Hill.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Gold Hill. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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 Gold Hill sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
