“Carly is awesome! Once again she has taken such good care of my fur baby! I never worry about my little girl when Carly watches her. I know she’ll get lots of love and cuddles! I highly recommend Carly!”
“Jennifer and her family cared for my new “grandpup” for a couple of days due to an unexpected situation. They met Bear and took him in right away. I was so thankful to find such a caring and loving family for my Bear. I recommend them to anyone who needs care for their fur babies. Jennifer thank you so very much for your kind spirit. I enjoyed meeting you and your family! Angela”
“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“Mikayla & Skyler we’re absolutely great with my Sheltie, North! I could tell from the time of drop-off to the pickup that they loved dogs and North got adjusted and settled right away. I received daily updates while I was away and was never concerned for a minute because North was in very good hands. I will definitely rebook with them for all my dog sitting needs!”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Leigha provided high quality care and housing for my Velvet. She sent pictures and videos daily. She was responded back quickly to my concerns and questions. My Velvet has separation anxiety and she gave her the needed medication and care. She walked Velvet daily which Velvet loves! I would recommend Leigha to board or care for your fur baby!”
“I couldn’t be happier about his care for my mutt! She loves him like a second family and knows when we arrive at her ‘other’ home. She loves his dogs and his couch…. Ken is a great guy and knows dogs!”
“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”
“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”
“You will be very impressed with Erica. My Huckleberry Finn adores her! She will send you pictures and updates the whole time she has your fur baby. Also she takes them for walks and play time”
“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom had as many as six dogs at a time, and I was actively involved in their daily care from a very young age. We also had multiple litters of puppies over the years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from newborn puppies to senior dogs. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, rabbits, and hamsters, making me comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I've spent a lifetime around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most recently, my two beloved dogs passed away. While I'm not quite ready to bring new pets into my home yet, I miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting felt like the perfect way to continue spending time with pets, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️ I work from home with a flexible job. I am able to take care of your pets on whatever schedule works best for them and you. I have a fenced in yard for your pets to run around in. I also live in a cul-de-sac so it’s a safe neighborhood to walk pets in! I have no other pets living in my home so all my attention can be on your baby or babies!
“Amanda was awesome. We had to leave Pringles for an 8 night trip and I was very at ease knowing he was with someone that would take absolute care of him and treat him as her own. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“I highly recommend Ashlee. She took really good care of my dog. She sent pictures everyday of him and he looked very content n happy. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you very much again”
“Excellent experience with David. He was more than welcoming with our pup… mind you our pup has an insane amount of energy and he was able to handle her just fine. I’d absolutely use David’s service again and would also recommend. He truly seems to have a knack for animals and truly enjoys them..”
“Could not have been more pleased with our experience! Rita and Joe gave our pups the most amazing home for the week, and they truly treated them like their own. We were at ease during our entire trip away knowing they were in such good hands. There aren’t enough stars and good words that I have for them, and I feel so comfortable knowing our dogs will always have a home away from home!”

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 Grays Ford 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 Grays Ford.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Grays Ford 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.
