“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

“We are so happy our dog was with Robin during our getaway! She was nicely cared for and happy to be around her two pups. Robin is a very responsible pet caregiver, we highly recommend her services!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”

“Loved my first experience with Rover. Laura made me feel at ease and my Charlie had a great time. She sent photos during the stay and kept me informed about he was doing. Planning to book again with her really soon.”

“Anna was very flexible with our schedule. Made our dog feel comfortable. Her 2 dogs and cat were super friendly and calm. Didnt have problem welcoming a new dog in their house.”

“Savannah was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and texts to let me know how my fur baby was doing. Her farm is perfect for dogs and she took them on walks around the walking paths.”

“My pup has stayed with Hillary twice now, and she is the sweetest! She's been so helpful and flexible, and Brownie has had a wonderful time with her family both times.”

“Christene was great. She was responsive, flexible and sent pictures and videos throughout our dog’s stay. If we’re in the area, we’d book with her without hesitation.”

“The best sitters! Words can’t even describe how amazing they are. Simba had the time of his life and was introduced to a bunch of stimulating activities. They were active with him even with the freezing temps and he loved getting human cuddles like he does at home. They are highly experienced dog lovers and I never have to worry when Simba stays with them! Can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Tug absolutely loved Kristy and her family! Kristy took such great care of our little boy! She provided daily photo updates and we are very thankful for her quick responses, her love and dedication to dog care truly are unmatched! If I could give her ten stars I would!”


About: I have 13 years of experience with both cats and dogs, from overnight boarding at my home to drop-in visits in yours. I value communication and make sure you stay updated while your pets receive loving care! I’m currently working part-time, and my shifts are only 3 hours, so your dog will never go long without a potty break. I can do dog walking and drop-in care anytime after 12:30 p.m. on weekdays. We have a pet-friendly home. I have my 9-year-old daughter as well as my dog, a mini poodle. We also have a fenced in backyard. I live in a neighborhood for military housing that has plenty of space for walking and various parks.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years! From pet sitting for family and friends to caring for furry companions of all sizes, ages, and personalities, I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or plenty of cuddles, I provide patient, attentive, and loving care. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. Every pet deserves to feel loved, and I’m always happy to provide a little extra spoiling! I have a very flexible schedule and work primarily from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your furry family members! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, companionship, or a little extra love and attention, I enjoy working with pet parents to create a schedule that fits their needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a welcoming, pet-friendly townhome with plenty of indoor space for your furry friend to relax, play, and feel right at home. My community features beautiful, spacious walking paths, perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and exercise. Pets are welcome to enjoy my home rather than being confined to one area, and crating is available if that’s part of their normal routine or their owner’s preference. I believe in maintaining consistency, so I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedules, walking routines, and individual care instructions. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands! 🐾
“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”

“Heather was awesome. Although my buddy was a bit anxious without me, Heather was able to keep her occupied so when she came home she just plopped right down in her favorite spot and went to sleep.”

Victor and Abigail took Beau in at the last minute due to a family emergency where we needed Beau cared for overnight, we are so grateful for them! Beau of course had a great time playing with his pups and we were relieved knowing he was cared for while we took care of our family.

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 Harcum 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 Harcum.
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 Harcum 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.
