“Sonja and Phil took wonderful care of Myles during his boarding stay. They kept me updated and made sure he felt right at home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter!”
“Milo had a great time! I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day and could tell he was truly in good hands. He is absolutely exhausted from playing all day!”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“Amazing!! My pup had a great time. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and be dogs. Wonderful communication so you don’t have to stress while you are away. I won’t be bringing my dog anywhere else.”
“Larissa was amazing with my dog Echo! Her communication was excellent—she provided regular updates and photos, which really put me at ease. Echo was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Larissa!”
“I can’t recommend Kelsi enough! She took amazing care of my Great Dane puppy, Wax, over the weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. My favorite part of the experience was all the pictures Kelsi sent—seeing Wax play and enjoy himself made me feel so relieved while I was away. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Kelsi truly went above and beyond, and I’ll absolutely trust her with Wax again. Five stars all the way!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She was super knowledgeable about dog behavior and offered a number of tips through our conversations. While we were away for 3 days, she sent pictures regularly. Baker and Banner had a blast and are exhausted! I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”
“Linda and her family did an excellent job taking care of our pup Wesley. She sent me the cutest pictures and Wesley seemed to be living his best life. So grateful to have found a wonderful pet sitter. I highly recommend trusting Linda with your pet. We will book again!”
“Tahliyah was very professional and had clear, timely communication. Her two dogs Rocket and Bolt were a great match for my dog Taro’s energy and were an excellent companionship for her while we were away. Would highly recommend.”
“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”
“Tiffany and David were willing to watch our dog with only a week's notice for 2 nights. They took excellent care of our Maybelline and provided a photo showing Maybelline enjoying being pet. We ran slightly behind picking up Maybelline, and Tiffany and David accommodated. We greatly appreciate their flexibility and service and will absolutely use their services again in the future.”
“Love.love.love Kimmie, and so does Zeus. She kept him for 5days while I was out of town. She spoiled him and sent me pictures and updates. He played so well with the other dogs. Now that he is back home, he looks a bit sad. I think he prefers living w her than Us!! I highly recommend her for ur dog sitting needs!!”
“We loved seeing videos of our dog having a great time with other Shepherds. When we went to pick him up, one of his new friends didn't want him to leave! He was exhausted and satisfied when he came home. Recommended!”
“Alicia was PHENOMENAL!!! Not only was she super communicative from start to finish, but she and her family provided the perfect home away from home for my Queenie and I couldn’t be happier! She’s now family! Thank you so much for being such an amazing human being and loving on my baby!!”
“Kristina was great! First of all I had some uncertainties in my travel plans that she was understanding about as I worked through the final dates/times. She shared pictures and videos during my dog’s stay. I could see he was comfortable there and having fun. Buster was well taken care of and I would book with Kristina again.”
“Jorge and his family were the perfect match for us and our dog Nova! They sent us pictures and videos and made sure she got enough snuggles and play time every day. We will recommend them to friends and will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town. :)”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Howards Corner 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 Howards Corner 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 Howards Corner.
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 Howards Corner. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Howards Corner 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.
