“Dana is our go-to when it comes to care for our pup and this our third or fourth time using her and the longest we’ve been away from our guy! We got daily pupdates and he had a great time with his daily long walks and spending time outside. We all love Dana!”
“Highly recommend Leah and Christopher for dog sitting! Finn felt right at home and loved running around their fenced yard. They were very helpful wi the my changing schedule and sent lots of pix of Finn! We will definitely ask to come back!”
“I'm new in town and so happy and blessed I found Tamara G. My Jaxon loved her immediately. With each photo I received I was assured that Jaxon was happy and having fun! He really made himself at home at her lovely place:) Also, enjoyed his many walk breaks. I will certainly book again! Thank you again!”
“Tara and her family are awesome and they once again took great care of our baby Mia while we were on vacation. She kept us posted daily which is incredibly important to us! Her boys are the sweetest and Mia will miss them for sure ❤️ We highly recommend Tara to watch your pup!”
“Stacie is amazing! She really cares for our dog as if he is her own. She has a huge fenced backyard and plenty of space inside her house as well. She doesn't take too many dogs at once and always texts updates and pictures!”
“Ruth and her family are amazing and they took care of Pepper, our flat coat retriever, like their own. They are all animal lovers and we knew this the moment we walked in. We were worried about leaving Pepper for over 10 days as this is our first long trip after she joined our family. All that disappeared after started getting updates and pictures on a daily basis. It almost felt like Pepper was the one on vacation! Thank you Ruth!!!”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“I don't think, I’ve ever felt comfortable as much as I did during Kali’s stay. I’ll be coming back as long as there is the availability. I loved the care given to Kali and I’ll recommend others to utilize Darnell!!!”

Active Care & Cuddles: Book me on Rover for reliable dog walking, sitting, and drop-in visits. I'll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. 2. The Dirty Work, Done: Hate cleaning the yard? I own and operate Sure Scoops to handle that for you. Get a pristine, sanitized yard without lifting a finger. My dream is to support loving pet homes by handling the challenges—from daily exercise to daily mess. Let me help you focus on the love, not the logistics! Find me on Rover for walks & sits! Message me directly for Sure Scoops yard clean-up! I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and supervise your pups!

I provide care in a secure, pet-proofed home with a fully fenced 500+ sq ft yard. My two friendly dogs offer excellent companionship. I am experienced in administering medication, following specific dietary routines, and can easily crate your dog if needed for their comfort and safety.
“Elizabeth and family was amazing and made us feel so safe leaving our dog in her care. She was as very attentive and kept us updated throughout our weekend away. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care and will definitely be keeping her as our permanent pet sitter :) thank you, Elizabeth! You are amazing.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I lost my last beloved pet over a year ago and don’t currently have any animals of my own, but I still have so much love to give. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet company, or a cozy nap nearby, I want them to feel like family while you’re away. I’m retired and home throughout the day, with plenty of time for companionship, cuddles, and a routine that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe and loved. I live in a pet-proofed basement apartment with a private entrance and a large fenced yard. My home has easy-to-clean stone-tile floors, plenty of pet beds, and toys to enjoy. Pets are welcome on the furniture and in bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to—my own animals always slept with me! Before a stay, I’d like to discuss your pet’s routines, medications, special needs, and comfort around other animals so we can make sure my home is a good fit.
“Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“So glad we found Chaimae! I accidentally booked too short of a stay for our pets but she was very accommodating and extended our booking until we got back home! It was great having peace of mind that our pets were safe, secure and living their best life while we were away! 😁”
“James was amazing! My two puppers are only four months old and he was willing to take them anyways and he did a fantastic job! They were safe, well cared for, And he sent pictures and kept me informed. My one pup has a heart condition and he gave her medication as prescribed… I hope to use him again, the experience was fantastic… Go With James!!!!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
97% of sitters in Laurel Mills 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 Laurel Mills 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 Laurel Mills.
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 Laurel Mills. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Laurel Mills 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.
