“Rae was amazing with my precious Paris. She was very uncomfortable at first to be separated from me, but Rae was very careful to watch and respond appropriately to her needs to make her feel safe and comfortable. I'm grateful for such a caring sitter away from home and will absolutely use her again.”
“Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!”
“Summer is one in a million, we (my husband and our two dogs) absolutely adore her. We are new to the area and had never used Rover.com nor had we ever used an outside family member to watch our guys. She made the whole process, from the meet and greet to the goodbye kisses a five-star experience! She sent daily pics and messages assuring us that they were being well loved and enjoying life. We hit the jackpot finding Summer!!”
“A wonderful experience! With this being our first time away from our Oshie, we were nervous but Jona made us feel comfortable from the start. She kept us posted about Oshie’s adventures. Sending lots of pictures which we all loved. Oshie was all smiles when we picked him up. Would definitely use Jona again!!”
“Shanti and her daughter consistently provide excellent care and show affection for my two cats. I’ve booked with them several times and will continue to do so! Highly recommend”
“Danyelle is really flexible. I had a last minute booking that I needed due to a family emergency and she was able to accommodate me. This is the second time she's watched my dog and I will definitely recommend her.”
“Amanda and her family took great care of Kash! It was his first time at their house and he felt comfortable so quickly. We appreciated her updates and pictures, as well as her responsiveness and care. We will definitely be contacting her soon for our upcoming summer travel knowing Kash will be in good hands.”
“Aisha is the perfect match for Maggie. She is dependable, sends me pictures daily, and shares with my updates and concerns. Every time Maggie arrives to Aisha’s home, Maggie is very excited. They adore each other so very much !”
“Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!”
“Rosy had a wonderful stay with Behice and her husband. Communication was very good, she sent a lot of photos and updates. Genuinely felt she was loved and cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“Giselle took great care of my two goons, tailoring the walks to their needs. They came back to me happy, healthy, and TIRED, which is the best endorsement for a sitter. ?❤️”
“Marcela was great at taking care of my dog for an overnight stay. She is kind and you can tell she loves animals. She was very communicative and sent periodic updates. She also reached out when appropriate to ask questions so I knew she was concerned about my dog’s well-being. Overall, I felt comfortable with our experience and would book her again. Thanks Marcela!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Groveton
We are repeat clients of Megan because she consistently gives our pup the attention and grace he needs to feel cared for, even when having other dogs on the same rotation. She gives plenty of updates, pictures and reassurance. Our dog always comes back happy and well rested!
Marlene was amazing with Luna, and Luna seemed like she had a great time while in Marlene’s care. Marlene was easy to communicate with and even allowed me to book boarding super last minute. She even ran with Luna after hearing that Luna is used to and enjoys going on runs. Would def book again.
Paula did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Beau and could not be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. She consistently updated me throughout the day and sent photos and videos. She treated him as if he were her very own. He was well exercised with walks throughout the day and a long evening stroll, and his diet was carefully attended to without us even having to ask. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough —
I had a great experience with this sitter! Chase seemed to be in good hands, and I appreciated receiving pictures and videos throughout my time away. Drop-off and pick-up were both smooth, and communication was great. I felt comfortable knowing Chase was being cared for while I was out of town. I would definitely book with her again!
Alissa and Rich were fantastic! They provided great care for our dog Beau and kept us updated with tons of photos every day. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved running in, and we loved seeing all the great pictures of him enjoying his time at their home. We felt very comfortable with them handling our dogs needs, including giving medications and dealing with our dogs unique eccentricities. They were also really communicative and flexible during our pick up and drop off when we were traveling. We can’t recommend Alissa and Rich enough!
Jade had a great time at Julia's house and I know because she came home TIRED which is always a wonder if you have a bully breed. Julia was flexible with drop off / pick up and super communicative with daily photo updates. She was also good at noting minor instructions, such as taking Jade's harness off when not in use. Would definitely have her watch Jade again!

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 dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Groveton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s 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 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 Groveton 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 Groveton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Groveton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Groveton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
