“Rebeca was the sweetest! She took care of Loki at the last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful! She had a big yard which he loved. She sent updates daily. He seemed so happy to be there. I would definitely take him back.”
“Cookie really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! From start to finish, Sarah was incredibly communicative and made me feel at ease while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—they truly brightened my day. It’s clear Sarah genuinely cares for the furry family she watches. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jim has been amazing every time we leave our dog in his care! Our dog is always at ease when visiting Jim and he sends us pictures every day with updates. Jim is very accommodating; our dog can be a challenge to take care of, but Jim never has a problem keeping him cared for and comfortable!”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“Camila is so friendly & sweet! I know our golden retriever absolutely loved her and her family! I had a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and had daily updates thanks to Camila! I would absolutely use Camila’s boarding service again. Thanks again, Camila!”
“We are so happy to have found Ada for our recent long weekend away! She took great care of our pup, Elsie, and sent pictures throughout the weekend so we knew she was happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend Ada.”
“We left our dog with Marina for 11 days. Picked him up today and he was in great shape. The pictures she sent made us feel so at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. We highly recommend her.”
“Lilly was extremely patient and truly showed her experience with our dog. When our dog shows signs of discomfort when she first arrived at Lilly's home, Lilly and her entire family showed a true understanding of dog behavior by giving our dog space and reading her emotions when approaching her. Lilly gave us constant updates and photos while we were away and never let us feel like our dog wasn't care for. I highly recommend Lilly and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.”
“My dog had a great stay with Jessica! She closely follows care instructions and spends time catering to the dog's needs. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Yolismal and her family are friendly and welcoming. They were easy to work with, responded promptly to all my texts, and sent regular photo updates. They followed my feeding instructions, even though they are a little complicated. Most importantly, they gave my dog Gretel lots of love. Gretel is an anxious dog, but I could tell from her body language in the photos that they put her at ease. When I picked her up, she was calm and happy - and that made me happy.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child and done pet sitting for family and friends for years, including neighbors. We adopted our dog Wilbur in 2022 and he has been such a blessing for me and my family. I will make sure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own ❤️ I currently am working from home, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of and play with the puppies. I normally go on walks in the morning and late afternoon, but I can anccomodate my schedule to you dog’s needs. I also spend plenty of time in the back yard (during good weather), so play time is always available. I have a large fenced in back yard, so I have plenty of room for visiting pets to run around and explore. Inside, there is a dedicated upstairs and downstairs area for pets to lay down and rest. The feeding area for pets is in the same room as where my family dines, to try and make all pets feel like they are a part of the family. Your pets will be treated with loving care and attention to make them feel safe, calm and comfortable.
“My pup’s stay with Cindy was absolutely wonderful! Cindy was communicative, flexible, sent frequent updates and pictures, AND provided special care for my special needs girl. She and her husband are kind, friendly people who clearly love dogs. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend to anybody!”
“As always another great stay with Ashley. My Foxy was a bit scared with fireworks this past week and Ashley was right there with her to keep her calm. Thank you so much for caring and loving my sweet Foxy like family. Your pet is in great hands with Ashley!”
“Lauren and her bf were amazing with our dogs! They were so kind and accommodating. Lauren is very responsive and sent me an update, not too long after we dropped them off, that our pups were doing well. I could definitely tell the dogs had a good time and felt comfortable. They were so tired when we picked them up. Lauren was also very patient and understanding with our puppy. We will definitely continue booking with them for future trips! :)”
“I would highly recommend Aime. She watched our dog Zuko for 3 days and was amazing. As a rescue he can be reactive and not always the easiest to walk and we felt very comfortable with her. She did a great job of keeping us up to date with plenty of pictures too.”
“Our pup, Bella, enjoyed her stay with Kalyn and it was great to know she was cared for well. From the meet and greet to drop off and pick up, Kalyn made the process easy and we could enjoy our trip without any worries about Bella. I would not hesitate to use Kalyn again for watching our precious pup.”

I can’t say enough good things about Michelle for taking care of my dog, Blue. From the first drop-off, I felt totally comfortable. Michelle was so warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the week, I got updates and photos that showed Blue was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and honestly like he had a little vacation too. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their fur babies.
Leah took care of my furbabies for 10 days and she was great with them. She was flexible with pick up and drop off. She also sent a lot of pictures. Marbles and Loki seemed to be very happy and comfortable and definitely enjoyed her backyard. Will definitely recommend:)
Erin and her family clearly made Tucker feel at home. She sent daily photos of Tucker enjoying his "summer camp" as we joked. He was always playing catch, chasing other dogs, playing in their big back yard. We will definitely send him back on our next trip out of town. Highly recommend Erin.
Bella had a great time with Dorrie, Rob and their sweet dog Dottie during our 5 day vacation. I knew after our meet and greet that she would be well taken care of, comfortable in their peaceful home and get all the attention and walks that she loves. Bella was so happy to return and Dorrie sent multiple updates and photos during her stay. Communication, drop off and pick up were also terrific. I highly recommend Dorrie!
I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
Dana is exceptional and her son are exceptional caretakers of our Kota. He’s safe, always super happy and we are able to leave him with a piece of mind. There is no doubt that our kota is always in good care and on top of that, he gets special little adventure walks and outtings❤️❤️

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.
94% of sitters in Lake Ridge 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 Lake Ridge 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 Lake Ridge.
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 Lake Ridge. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Lake Ridge 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.
