About: I've had dogs my entire life and love caring for them as if they are my children. I've had puppies to senior dogs who have passed on, so I am very comfortable with any stage in a dog's life. I treat my dogs like my own children and I know how difficult it can be to find someone who cares for your pets the same way you do, but I promise you that I will care for your pets in the same way I care for my own! I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whenever you need me, I will be there. I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to do in order to take care of your pets. I can give your pets any medications they might need as well as tender loving care.
About: I have been around dogs since I was about 8 years old and have experience with both small and large breeds. I have owned 4 dogs myself and caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, whether that means lots of playtime and exercise or a calmer, more relaxed environment. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, basic care routines, and giving dogs the attention and patience they deserve while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will always treat your dogs like my own and provide reliable, loving, and attentive care. I’m currently working a flexible schedule and I am most consistently available in the afternoon and evening times during the weekdays and fully on the weekends to provide extra time for your animals! I have a fully fenced yard and the space/ability to crate as needed. I do currently have 2 friendly cats in home who are used to other cats/dogs. Each member of my household has experience with cats and dogs and would be excited to show yours some love and attention up close or far away! I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and comfort levels whether inside your home or mine.

I love all animal but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands and would love to spend some time with your dog when you are not able to. I will treat them as if they were mine9. I have two small dog that does fine with other dogs. My yard is fenced and secure. I believe dogs belong in the house since they are part of the family.
About: Ever since I was young animals have played a huge role in my life. From my first dog to the mini zoo I have today. I am familiar with many breeds of dogs and cats as well as reptiles and recognize each one has its own characteristics and personality. Whether it's a walk, play time, or just someone to keep your pet company, I will appreciate and enjoy my time with them. I am a stay at home father of two. I am available most days. I have been working with pets for the past 4 years M-F with the occasional weekend visits. I love what I do and I take pride in my ability to befriend all pets. I believe each and every person has a responsibility, when they take on a pet, to give it the best life with a loving owner. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 lizards, 2 turtles, and 4 fish who all get attention suited to their needs and desires while also being attentive to proper and healthy care.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I love all animals! I have experience with health issues and giving dogs medication. My family has trained and raised puppies, and rescued several senior and abused dogs. I also have experience with cats, rodents, and reptiles.

“Patricia is GREAT! She’s friendly and has a very warm demeanor. My chihuahua loves her! She goes the extra mile in making sure my doggie is comfortable. That gives me peace of mind. ?? Thank you Patty!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years and have always been passionate about providing them with a safe, loving environment. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement when caring for pets of all ages. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've also provided care for a friend's senior dog while they were away on vacation, giving me experience with the extra patience and attention older dogs often need. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications, and caring for puppies, senior pets, and pets with unique routines. As a scientist, I'm naturally detail-oriented and observant, so I pay close attention to changes in behavior and always follow care instructions carefully. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I have a puppy of my own, so my days naturally revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, training, and making sure she's happy and healthy. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve, whether that's sticking to their normal routine, providing plenty of exercise, or simply keeping them company. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any other preferences you have to help your pet feel comfortable while you're away. In my home, pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I use positive reinforcement and never harsh discipline. My puppy is friendly and well-socialized, and I'll always make sure introductions are done safely if applicable. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure your pet receives lots of love and attention, fresh food and water, walks or playtime as needed, a clean litter box or potty area, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I recently moved here and was anxious about finding a sitter for Taco. I'm so glad I can trust Julie and Kenneth to take care of Taco while I'm away at work. They make sure he's happy and I also get a very detailed summary about how his day went. I highly recommend them and will be using them regularly.”
“Jason was great with our one year old puppy, Odin! We met with Jason and his dogs beforehand and we could already tell that Jason was going to be attentive and good with Odin. His dogs were all great, too! Odin played the day away and we got updates and adorable pics, which were very much appreciated. We will definitely be sending him back! Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was exactly what we were looking for! She gave our boy Nash all of the love and attention that he needed and then some. Nash really enjoyed playing with her two dogs and I know he's looking for his next stay with her.”
“Learick had great communication while keeping my puppy which was great, considering I was a first time Rover user and never had had a sitter before. Everyday I was sent photos + videos and provided with updates! I will definitely book again.”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here! I work from home, so I'll be with your doggie for most of the day. The only time they'll be home alone is when I run errands. I care for pets in a safe, loving home with a fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. They are treated like my own. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send regular updates with photos and messages.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life including seniors with medical needs. I currently have an 18-year-old cat who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable with administering meds and handling special routines. While I have not walked or sat much for others professionally yet, I bring decades of hands-on experience with my own pets—treating each one like family. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, lots of attention, and flexibility with scheduling. I understand how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, loved, and well cared for while their people are away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins, or extended company, I can usually accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines, keep fresh water available, and provide enrichment through play, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved while you're away.
“Rebecca was great with Ellie! Her dogs are very well behaved too and you can tell she’s a dog expert. Professional and timely communication through and through. Will be booking again for doggy daycare!”
“Michelle was great. She was ready for Daly to be dropped off. She kept me informed all day, with messages and photos. So I was totally at ease during the day. And she was ready to hand Daly back to me, with a summary of activities. I recommend her highly, and will gladly use her services again. Thanks, Michelle!”

Karol is exceptionally awesome. I have 2 little girls and she took care of them so well. Took them out for multiple walks and to the park to play. Made them feel at home. I really appreciated that. I most certainly will use her again and do recommend giving her a try.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Green Acres commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 682 sitters in Green Acres, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
