“Larissa did a wonderful job taking care of Indigo! She kept me updated with pictures and messages so I always knew how my pup was doing. Larissa was incredibly kind, very flexible, and made drop-off and pick-up super easy. I could tell Indigo felt comfortable and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Connie was a dream to have watch our new puppy! We were new to Rover and a little cautious about the experience but she was helpful and professional upon contact. We decided to board with Connie for a week long stay and were extremely pleased with the constant correspondence including many, many sweet pictures of our puppy playing and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Connie to anyone considering a caretaker for their fur baby!”
“Thanks for being such a great care giver to Daisy!! I'm not sure she's ever been as happy when we're not around. I'm so glad we found you!! And, thanks to the kids for keeping her happy!! I can tell she really loved them!!”
“Luna and her human parents adore Audree. Luna is so excited to come and play and stay! We love all the photos of Luna playing with her furry friends. Between Audree’s and the regular dogs. It’s always a fun play date. Best dog sitter and we feel so lucky to have found her.”
“Amber is an amazing caregiver for pets. She is dedicated and professional. She provides caring services and she lets you know how your pet is performing. She treats all pets like they are hers. I had no worries when Nugget was there for four days. She has ample space to make every pet comfortable. I highly recommend Amber for your boarding needs.”
“Laurie is awesome! Our dogs felt immediately comfortable with her and her own dog. She communicated great and kept ip updated with comments and pictures during their stay with her. She is highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using this type of service to board my senior dog, and I must say that it was a blessing to find Sarah. She cared for Princess as if she was her own. Sarah provided me with status updates and went the extra mile. Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Sarah! You are the best!”

“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”
“Eldeen rescued us - we needed a sitter for our girl Edith on short notice and our usual sitter was unavailable. They took great care of her, and she was happy and obviously well loved while she was there. 5 stars in every aspect!”
“Sake returned back for another trailblazing/boarding adventure with Seyla. While the rest of the family went away for the last summer vacation of the season, Sake had a blast at boarding! I saw continuous photos/videos and evidence of her loving her hikes, swims, playtime, naps, food feasts (she had no leftovers in her food bowl), naps, being free to roam in the backyard at the Trailblazing Homestead. It is never a dull moment for Sake. I am afraid Sake had a better time at boarding then we did on vacation.”
“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”
“Julie was very friendly and took very good care of Volt. She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates frequently. Volt seems to have really liked her and her pets. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for boarding their pets.”
“Traci is fantastic!! She is very responsive and sent pictures of my pups to me during their stay. She has a beautiful home with a great backyard. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

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 Gulvey 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 Gulvey.
<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 Gulvey 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.
