“Excellent boarding location. Will use again anytime we are going out of town and can’t take the pups. Daily updates with pictures and our dogs definitely enjoyed their stay. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our fur babies were in good hands…”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mrs. Crystal is truly a blessing! The peace of mind we have when Jaxon is in her care is priceless. She communicates well and treats him with such genuine love and attention. He always comes home happy and relaxed, it truly feels like his home away from home.”
“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!”
“Another great Stay with Isaac and Omaira. The sent pics and videos the whole trip and even let us drop the boys off early. I know they are looking forward to their next stay already!”
“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”
“We just picked up our pup from Lindalyn. He spent 4 days with her. One of the greatest rover experiences we have had to date. She was so good at making sure he felt comfortable the whole time and constantly updated us with pictures and messages to assure us that everything was going great. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Lindalyn!”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Alexandra was awesome. She was very nice and understanding. Pictures were sent of Cookie to keep my and my wife updated. Definitely would use her service again.”
“Absolutely recommend! My senior girl can get really anxious when I leave, especially with someone new, and she settled in with George and his family right away. She stayed almost a week for her first stay and it went amazing. Tons of walks, pets, treats, and cuddles, plus George kept me updated the whole time with plenty of pictures. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip, and I'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Robin and Kyle (and their toddler) loved on Pixie and made her feel relaxed and comforted. I got a few pictures of Pixie sitting on a lap and even one of her sleeping beside their own dog. So the environment must have been calm and positive for all those things to happen. Strongly recommend.”
“Sandra is amazing. You can tell how much she loves animals. I had to go out of town for a week and she treated my puppy like he was her own. She was so good to him and took such great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind to know he was so well taken care of while I was away. She lives in a quiet neighborhood and has a great back yard. I would recommend Sandra 100%.”
“Apollo loved his stay with Anna, we went out of town and she watched Apollo at her home for 4 nights, he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up, he had so much fun with her dogs and her. Will definitely book again !”
“Hilary was absolutely amazing! Not only did she treat my baby girl like family, but she also sent me multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Hilary for future stays! Thank you Hilary for loving my girl and making my time away from her a little easier!”
“She was so attentive and communicative with our boy! We were in need of a last minute sitter and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She’s kind, responsive and even made him a cute bandana to bring home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”
About: Hello! My name is Ashley. I have had dogs and cats ever since I can remember, small dogs and bigger dogs. I am an animal lover who loves being outdoors, loves being active, and loves the company of pets. I have two cats who love/ are used to being around dogs! If you need a simple dog walk, I am your girl! If your dog like runs or playing fetch, you can count on me to keep them active. Or if your pet just needs some lovin’ while you’re away I can do that too. I couldn’t think of a better side job than to spend that time with animals. I am very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. I know that pets are a very important part of our lives and will take great care of your fur child.
“Julissa is an amazing dog sitter! She took care of my two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy. She provided frequent updates with pictures and videos, which was so reassuring while I was away. Julissa bonded with my dogs and provided them with great care. She fed them on time, provided lots of playtime, and walked them frequently. I would highly recommend Julissa to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Julissa, for taking such great care of my furry friends! 🐾🐾”

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 Grafton 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 Grafton.
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.
You and your Grafton 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.
