“Helena and Nathan were awesome! I was initially worried to leave Raider with someone new but they were a godsend and came through for us. They were super flexible and accommodating and provided updates, pictures, videos. Raider enjoyed his time with their family and almost didn’t want to come home lol”
“Susan and her husband were great to my little dog and treated me with warmth and openness. I loved the daily pictures they took of Autumn and videos of her playing with other dogs. When I had a concern Susan was very understanding and I truly appreciated that. I would love to rebook her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“John was fantastic. Extremely communicative, took excellent care of my senior golden that requires medications and shorter walks due to ACL surgery. 10/10 recommend booking with John and we will be using his services again.”
“Jorge and Alejandra were fantastic. They kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout Kia’s stay and she seemed to have the best time. I would absolutely choose them to watch my baby again. Thank you both so much and for being flexible with my pick up and drop off 💕”
“Sophie and Austin did an AMAZING job caring for our pups. We felt a peace of mind throughout our trip thanks to frequent pics/videos and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Vincent is an awesome sitter. Our girl Suzy just wanted to move in with him, she was so happy there! He kept us updated with pics and WhatsApp videos, so we always felt included. Definitely a keeper! Thanks, Vincent! :D”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“Danyelle took great care of my pup. She was great with communication and treated Jetta as if she were her own! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Mary was absolutely incredible! Not only was she super response to our messages, she often shared photos of our dog having a great time. I honestly believe our dog didn’t want to leave her. Haha I would certainly recommend Mary to take care of your furry friend!”
“Han was great with Calla! She provided so many updates which I appreciated and loved. It helped ease my worries about Calla. Han also requested to meet Calla prior to drop to ensure it was a good fit, which gave me reason that Han knows how to handle dogs easily. I could not recommend Han more!”
“Karen is wonderful. I am so happy I found her. She sent me lots of photos while I was away. I can tell by the daily photos I received that he was having fun and was happy. Thank you very much Karen for taking good care of my baby.”
“Devora took such amazing care of Jones! I appreciated her consistent updates on how he was doing and loved receiving photos of him throughout the day. Jones had a great time too; he and her pup, Cha Cha, had a blast!”
“Roxanna is the absolute best. You could not have a better person to work with or to take care of your pet. Her communication was awesome. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone. And her little doggie, Izzy is the sweetest thing ever! My dog, Roger and Izzy became best friends. It went so well- we plan to have doggie play dates in the future. So glad I met Roxanna and her sweet family.”
“Michelle was amazing!! We had a family emergency where we needed a dog sitter ASAP. Michelle was very responsive and promptly accepted our request with open arms with no hesitation. Michelle and family were very welcoming! During our doggo’s stay, Michelle updated me constantly with adorable pictures and videos of the ample play and generous green space that Blaze enjoyed at Michelle’s property!! Blaze made plenty of friends and had a blast. Thank you Michelle and family!”
“I am so thankful to have found Byamba on Rover! At the last minute, the dog sitter we had lined up for nine days didn’t work out. I reached out to Byamba to see if he could care for my Aussie shepherd and my sister-in-law’s dog, and within moments I received a response that he’d be delighted to take care of them. My husband and I do not like being away from our Aussie, and Byamba went above and beyond to send daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind that we had chosen the right care-giver. It was a great comfort knowing that both pooches were with a kind, loving family. We will definitely reach out to Byamba the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Byamba and family!”
“We left our two year old lab with Jennifer and Joel during a family vacation at the end of summer. We were nervous going into it because we had never left her with someone we didn’t know. I shared this with Jennifer and Joel at the meet and greet and reminded them at drop off. They sent pics and videos every day, which really helped us to feel that our girl was also “on vacation” and having a great time with their two dogs. Thanks to you both for loving her while we were away!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
Carmen was, without question, the best dog sitter I could have asked for! My old pup can be quite the grumpy little guy, but she treated him with so much patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She took him on walks, sent wonderful pictures, and accompanied each update with beautifully written notes that made me smile every time. It was clear she wasn’t just looking after him, she genuinely cared about him. Finding someone you can trust with an aging, sometimes difficult dog means the world, and Carmen went above and beyond in every way. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and I would absolutely trust her with my pup again!
Javier was amazing with our dog Brody! It was our first time using Rover and Javier made us feel at ease with multiple updates a day, videos, and photos. Brody loved the backyard and with every update from Javier, we felt more and more at ease that our Brody was being taken care of. Highly recommend Javier!
Rico loved spending the weekend with Gail and her pup. He actually didn’t want to leave! She was welcoming and flexible when our plans changed. She sent many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Gail and Rico can’t wait to go play again.
Ji Young was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our 15-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Twix, for four months, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. Twix immediately became part of Ji Young’s family and was treated with so much love and attention. Ji Young sent us lots of pictures every week and kept us updated on how Twix was doing and behaving. She was also very attentive to Twix’s needs and suggested baths and nail clipping when appropriate. We are so grateful for all the love and care Ji Young gave our little dog. It meant so much to us to know that Twix was happy, loved, and truly part of the family while she was with her. We will always be thankful to Ji Young for taking such wonderful care of Twix. ❤️

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 Jefferson home-away-from-home, 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 Jefferson.
<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 Jefferson 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 , 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 .
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.
