“Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“2nd time we’ve used Jackie and Kevin and they will now be the only people we have watch our dogs! They are very flexible and reliable. Thank you so much!”
“Kristy was awesome! She sent an adorable video of our dogs playing together and assured me my dog was settling in just fine. I was very anxious leaving my baby with someone else for the first time but would 100% book with Kristy again. My dog had the best time! Thank you so much Kristy!”
“Another great stay with Amanda and Scott for Buddy! I can see from the pictures they send what a great time he is having and know he is loving the love he is getting.”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Mina is such a wonderful sitter!! She has taken care of Max two times and he loves seeing her and her dog! This is the only place that he scratches to get out of the car. Most times, I’m dragging him, but not at Mina’s. She’s a pro and I am so glad that she’s watching pups!!!”
“Elisabeth, thank you for caring for Juno! You sent great photos throughout the week and I felt very comfortable knowing he was having a good time at home with you and your family. Thank you so much!”

“Shawna is awesome! Always kept me updated with pictures and answered any questions almost immediately. Made the whole process of picking up and dropping off very easy and comfortable. Will definitely be my go to for next time!”
“Having NEVER left my puppies before, I was hesitant and nervous to do so. Shania eased my concerns from the very beginning. I was literally in contact with her multiple times before my puppies were even in her care. I'm happy to say, ALL WENT WELL!!! I highly recommend Shania and can't wait to use her services again.”
“Travis was phenomenal!!! My dog definitely felt like he was home. Travis and his family welcomed Fender with open arms, and he was very accommodating. Will most definitely use Travis again!!!”
“Joseph took wonderful care of our dog Mattie. He sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout and was also very flexible when we needed to add an extra day unexpectedly. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time using Lora. She kept us updated and made sure Kai (Rottweiler) had a great time and took him to the park to get his energy out. Very sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

Demi is excited to go to Ms Crystal house. I absolutely love having my dog stay here! She always has such a great time, and it’s clear that she feels comfortable and happy. She gets lots of love and attention, and I can tell she genuinely loves being here. I always feel comfortable leaving her because I know she’s in good hands. I highly recommend Ms Crystal! ❤️🐶
Three visits in, and Mrs. Crystal continues to exceed our expectations. She’s attentive, consistent, and truly understands Jaxon’s needs. We always receive thoughtful updates, and Jaxon comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything.

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 Lackey 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 Lackey.
<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 Lackey 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.
