Our pups were well taken care of by Zach. He was flexible with us on the drop off and pick up times when we had some set backs. Thanks for everything, Zach!

Paula agreed to a last minute booking to look after my newly adopted and skittish pup for an extended day trip. Can’t say enough about her patience and caring nature for a pup in need. Thank you, Paula!

My Penelope got the opportunity to spend time with Damacia. The best care was given to Miss P she came home nice and tired. Damacia sent pictures of her and kept me informed. Give Damacia a try. You won’t be disappointed and you can enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.

I recently booked a one-night boarding stay for my dog, Chief, and had a great experience. From the start, communication was clear and responsive, which helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone else’s care. Chief can sometimes take a little time to warm up, but he seemed comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it made a big difference knowing he was doing well and settling in. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy, which says a lot about the environment and care he received. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Luna’s recent 3 night stay became a 6 night stay when we were stranded out of state due to the snow storm. Our flights kept getting cancelled and Cassie was a saint, letting us know all was well and not even blinking when I continued to ask if Luna could stay longer. With the travel stress, it meant the world to have peace of mind knowing our Luna was in good hands. ❤️

Sheri is fantastic! Her two teens are fantastic as well. I was quite nervous leaving our Great Dane Bodie, but once I met Sheri, I had no doubt he was in the best hands! They definitely had their work cut out out for them because Bodie was the biggest baby and the first few days of his stay was rough. They really worked with him to help him adapt to his new surroundings and by around day 3, he was completely comfortable and started sleeping through the night. I am so thankful for her and her sweet teens for taking great care of Bodie while we enjoyed a vacation with family. Thank you Sheri!

If we could give Helen’s home a name, it would be Helen’s Doggy Heaven 🥰. From the moment we dropped our pets off, we knew they were in loving hands. Helen went above and beyond—sending frequent texts, adorable pictures, and sweet videos that melted our hearts and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were not just cared for, but truly loved. We can’t recommend Helen enough—if you need someone to treat your pets like family while you’re away, she’s the one! You’ll come home to happy tails and full hearts. 💕🐾

Robin was so friendly and accommodating, and it is clear that she takes great care of the dogs in her care! She took plenty of time before the stay to show us around and make sure that all of our questions were answered. Our dog returned from her stay happy and very well-exercised ? We will definitely book with Robin again!

About: I’m a stay at home mom with three dog crazy kiddos! I’ve always had dogs my entire life, and spent part of my young adulthood working as a vet tech. I have experience walking dogs for my neighbors growing up and taking care of friends’ critters. I’m home most of the day so your pup will get plenty of attention and opportunity for exercise and play time. My family and I love hanging out at home in our backyard when weather is nice and spending time with our animal crew. Nowadays, I live on three acres with my family including a little schnauzer and a flock of chickens. Your pup will be able to go on long walks and adventures as our neighborhood has lots of trail options! My kids are in school most of the day, and are very responsible and good with all animals. Your pup will get lots of socialization and love with us. Your fur baby will be in good hands with us!

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover offering a safe, comfortable home for your pup while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I treat every pet like part of the family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having visitors and help create a fun, relaxed environment. My home also has a fully fenced backyard, so your dog can safely run, play, and get plenty of fresh air! Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, they’ll have a cozy, supervised stay here. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands :) Pet care fits well into my daily routine! I work from 7 AM to 3 PM, and my boyfriend has a later schedule, so there is usually someone home during the day. In the mornings, I make sure all dogs are fed, let out, and get some attention before I leave. During the day, they’re let out and supervised, and once I’m home, they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long and will get consistent care throughout the day. I do my best to make every dog feel at home here. I keep a comfortable routine with regular meals, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I take time to make sure dogs feel safe and settle in at their own pace, and I always supervise interactions. Whether your dog is playful or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs so they feel relaxed and cared for.

Julie and her husband were so amazing with my pup, Ziggy. We had just moved to the area and were nervous about having leaving him in a new place so soon, but Julie’s kind nature and love for dogs put our mind at ease! Ziggy loved having their pup Heidi to play with as well! We feel lucky to have found Julie here in RVA. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our baby! ?

This couple is amazing! I am a first time user of Rover and couldn’t be happier. They sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the weekend. My dog did so well there with their dog and cats. They truly cared for my dog and showed her love. I will definitely be using them again.
