“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!”
“Matisa did a wonderful job taking care of Rex! She was very responsive throughout his stay, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves animals. We would gladly book with her again.”
“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.”
“Tina did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town. She regularly checked in and if I messaged her she was prompted in response. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
About: I have always been an animal lover! I spent a better chunk of my high school and college years watching horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, fish, birds, ferrets, chickens, and basically any other critter you can think of. I will absolutely love your animals as my own. I am available on short notice and can do daytime dog sitting. I am able to administer shots, IM injections, oral medications, or whatever special needs your pet may have. I work from home on my 6.52 acre farmette. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a sweet old lady dog who is happy to show the dogs the ropes! I have 5 fenced in acres for dogs to run around and play. I love to spend time outside playing with all the animals I can get my hands on. I’m equipped for horses, donkeys, goats, ferrets, dogs, birds, and reptiles!
“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”
“Heather was great. She was so intentional about getting to know me and my dog. She seems knowledgeable and actually happy to be spending time with Peabody while I'm away. I think he's likely happier with her and the huge amount of love she's covering him with than me on a daily basis. ????”
“Erica took great care of our dog, Kaiju. She sent us updates and pictures which was nice because this was the first time we have been away for any period of time in the 4 years we have had Kaiju. It was nice to get the updates and have that piece of mind. Also, she had other dogs that Kaiju got to play with and he got to meet chickens for the first time. We appreciate the care Erica provided and will use her again.”
“Our experience with Dana is the best we have had with any pet sitter or kennel that we have ever used. We received frequent updates with pictures and knew our dog was being well cared for. We would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a caring, kind, and loving home for their dog while away. It is clear that she truly loves the dogs she cares for.”
“Linda and her entire family cared for my Snoop as he was their own. This was my first time ever leaving him with anyone other than our own family (in 14 years), I am happy and appreciative that our experience was an awesome one. Photos, videos, and daily updates had been provided.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Leslie was wonderful! We rarely leave our dog with anyone, so we were nervous about going on our trip. Leslie instantly put us at ease. She sent detailed updates every day, including videos, pictures, and a recap of Teddy’s day. Teddy had a fantastic time! You can easily see how dedicated Leslie is and how much she truly loves dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing Teddy was in such caring hands. We will certainly be booking with Leslie again!”

Gianna was a perfect sitter for our boy! She made sure to check in with us frequently sending pictures of them playing and cuddling. Our dog was peeing a lot but Gianna was ready with puppy diapers, made my worry go away instantly because it assured me she was completely prepared to take care of anything. I will definitely be booking with her 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 Heflin 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 Heflin.
<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 Heflin 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.
