“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”
“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”
“Chloe loves to go visit Anna! She is an awesome pet sitter and responds quickly to me, sends pictures of Chloe, and is very flexible. She will always be my first contact when I need a pet sitter”
“I had such a great experience with her! She and her mom took amazing care of Lulu and Toby while I was away. I really appreciated the consistent updates and pictures, it gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. You can tell they genuinely care, because every time I picked up my puppies, they were happy, calm, and well taken care of. That alone says everything. I’m so grateful to have found them and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Sara, her partner and fur babies all did a great job welcoming my senior dog into their home. She responded quickly to my holiday request for daycare and was very flexible with scheduling. She asked follow-up questions on his profile info and made every accommodation to ensure he was safe and happy during his stay.”

“This is the first time we used Rover for our Labradoodle Thor, and Heather was so responsive and so caring. I loved how she sent pictures to show us what he was up to and she always answered every one of our questions. She also accommodated our early drop off and late pick up which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”
“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”
“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
“Apollo loves coming here and being able to play with other dogs. After a not so great experience with a different Rover sitter, Alex and Eddie have put my mind at ease for our 10 month old German Shepard puppy who needs to be running around at all times.”

“I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.”
“Jim has been our go to guy every single time we're traveling. We always know that leaving the pups with him means they'll be cared for and get plenty of exercise while they're at it. We usually get Winnie and Ollie back happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing all weekend. 100/10!”
“Jessica has become our go to for Doggie Day Care. Our dog Missy loves her and so do we. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She takes wonderful care of our little fur baby. We highly recommend!!!”

Toni was AMAZING! This was only my pup's second time being dropped off at an unknown person's home (all because we are moving and had movers coming to pack) and she gave him the attention he really wanted! She made sure he had a good walk and wasn't missing his mom to much!
We had a last-minute trip and were so thankful Rebeca was able to help us out! She responded super quickly, took great care of our fur babies, and kept us updated while we were away. She was also so patient and sweet with them, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Rebeca and would absolutely use her again in the future. Thank you so much, Rebeca! We truly appreciate you!
This was our first sit with Nikhita and it went very well. This was a day sit and Louie seemed to make himself right at home. I loved the fact that Nikhita wanted to do a meet and greet before our scheduled sit date. I felt confident in the care Louie received and we plan to rebook in the near future.
We had such a great experience with Camila! Kai can be a little high-energy and still getting into his routine, and she handled him so well. He was happy, playful, and clearly well cared for when I picked him up. She kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind, and even sent him home with a little goodie bag - which was such a thoughtful touch. 💕 I would absolutely book with Camila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is kind, attentive, and truly cares about your pup.

Our puppy had a great stay with Dasha. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day to include concerns she saw with him. She was very responsive and flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Will definitely consider for future stays when we’re in the area.
Sara’s home was perfect for my playful dog with plenty of toys and a comfy dog bed to nap in after she wore herself out. Her dogs are friendly and the yard fully fenced which is perfect for my dog to explore and patrol the neighborhood. Callie will be back to enjoy her play time with Finn and Harvey!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lake Ridge commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,797 sitters in Lake Ridge, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
