“Richard could not have been nicer and my dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay! I was worried about my 15 month old English bulldog pouting the entire time, but Richard won her over. The location is wonderfully located high above the daily humdrum. If your pets are used to country living, they will thoroughly enjoy a stay here! I highly recommend and will be using for future needs.”
“Shannon has been watching our dogs for years. My current hound dog is a high energy, social gal and she receives fantastic care from Shannon. We tell our dog she is going to summer camp when we drop her off because I know she has a blast and makes lots of friends. I feel so lucky to have such an awesome caretaker for my pup. Highly recommend Shannon!”
“Emily is amazing! She has been taking care of my 10-year-old German Shepherd, Delta, for years, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Every time Delta comes home, she is happy, tired, and clearly had a great time! Emily is an excellent communicator, incredibly dependable, and just an all-around top-notch person. I have complete peace of mind knowing Delta is in her care. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
“I took Margot for her first day care day with Samantha today and Margot absolutely loved it! Samantha sent me photos and updates all day and I was sure she was taking good care of my baby! Samantha is very flexible and communicative and Margot will definitely become her regular client. 100% recommend her!”
“Absolutely above and beyond care for my doggo! He loved his time there and got to be very active during his stay! I always hate leaving Sebbi when I have to travel but it seems he had so much fun during his stay!”
“I had a great experience! Communication was quick and responsive throughout the process, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she has experience working with dogs. Her confidence and understanding of animals put me at ease, and I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Sailor liked Donna immediately! We could tell he enjoyed his stay with her because he licks his paws incessantly when left alone, but they were bone dry when we picked him up from Donna. She is a kind and gentle dog-lover. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“David Is calm and caring and took great care of Watson. I don’t often leave Watson but when I do he usually comes home unnerved. That was not the case this time. Thank you!”
“Susan and Ken gave our dog the best care that he has received from any sitter in the Roanoke/Blacksburg area, including in-home sitters. We received lots of updates during the care period and our dog was returned happy and tired. We will definitely look to these folks for our boarding needs in the future.”
“Amanda was fabulous! I appreciated her daily updates and photos of Penny. I felt so comfortable leaving for the weekend knowing my pup was in good hands. She asked excellent questions during drop up and made us both feel at ease. I would absolutely trust her again to watch Penny!”
“Sydney took great care of of our dog for a weekend. Maple had a great time playing with Sydney's dogs and got plenty of exercise in the back yard. Would definitely have Sydney dog sit again.”
“Theresa was great with sending pics and updates about my Howard, who spent 3 days and nights with she and her husband Chuck. Howard was well taken care of, he enjoyed playing with their dogs, and Theresa was so sweet and accommodating. Will definitely use her for boarding again in the future!”
“Amari was very accommodating for a last minute booking, kept me updated with lots of pictures and reassured me that my dog was doing great! Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing. So great with pick up and drop off and I got lots of pictures of my happy dog. 100% will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“I cannot say enough good things about John. My Ozzy is a “anxious “ pup, but with John he is very calm and happy. I love the frequent texts and photos letting me know that Ozzy is settling in well.”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“We had to book with Kayla pretty much as last minute as you could get. Our original Rover didn’t work out and we needed to find somewhere quick. Kayla was super communicative and easy going! Her other dogs are all so sweet and well trained. It was a great socialization experience for our dog. She sent us so many videos and pictures throughout the booking. We loved Kayla and would recommend her 1000x over”

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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette.
<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 Lafayette 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.
