“Once again Kathryn made our little Yogi feel right at home. She updated us throughout his stay with comments on his activity and behavior, as well as pictures. Yogi likes her home as much as he likes being home and it appears that his behavior and tendencies are the same at either location. Thank you so much Kathryn for making Yogi feel right at home!”


“Amber does an awesome job watching and caring for Bella. She sends photos and videos of her stay and updates me on Bella day daily. This is my 3rd time hiding Bella with her and Bella enjoys bonding with her dog.”

“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”


“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”

“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”

“Such a great experience! We felt like our dog was safe, happy and on his own little fun vacation playing with their dog! Lorena and her family are perfectly set up for a fun time for your pup! Very sweet people, you can definitely trust them! She even sent us updates and photos! The next time we are in that area we will be requesting her for sure! thanks Lorena!!!”

“Rebecca was able to take our pet over Thanksgiving week as our regular sitter had an emergency. She met with Olympia and from there our we knew our pet was in good hands. Although we were away, we knew our pet had plenty of company to keep her to keep her occupied and entertained in our absence. Thank you Rebecca for opening your home for our girl and keeping her safe until our return.”

“Christie was thoughtful and ensured the safety of all of the pets that were in her care the week we boarded our dog. She did meets and greets with the pets and owners so everyone was comfortable. When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.”

“Phillip did a wonderful job taking care of Onyx! She was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the care and attention Philip gave her, and I felt confident that she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Philip and would happily have him care for Onyx again!”

“Julie did a wonderful job caring for my Marli! She provided updates and photos while I was on my trip. I could tell that Marli really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in Julie's large yard as she came home very tired. I plan to use Julie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her services!”


“Warren and family provided excellent care for Buddy. He had been there before for a short overnight and remembered the house and was super excited to return. This was an extended vacation for us, and I was concerned about leaving Buddy for so long, but he did wonderfully. I hope Warren continues to provide dog care because I wouldn't want to bring him anywhere else. Thanks Warren!!”

“Jeleesa was welcoming, accommodating and wonderful. She was diligent in asking all about Daisy’s routine, likes, dislikes and whatever she needed to make sure she had a great stay. Sent regular updates and was always helpful. Would definitely utilize her services again.”

“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leavells
Rebecca was a life saver for me last minute. I had a flight booked and caregiver dropped out last minute. Cali seemed to have enjoyed her time there. She didn't come home looking all sad and depressed like the last time she was boarded. I got a few photos and updates from her while gone. She was very accommodating with drop/pickup times. I will book with Rebecca again in the future.

Kate and her whole family were amazing! They all went out of their way to keep Bella comfortable and safe. I was very concerned leaving her, since she is nearly 18 and doesn’t get around very well, but my fears were unfounded. From the moment I met her I could tell that Bella would be in good hands. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a truly caring and attentive dog sitter.

Christina did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was so caring, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated the multiple pictures and updates she sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well taken care of. My dog was very comfortable with Christina, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable to care for their pet! ❤️🐾
Tiffany and David were willing to watch our dog with only a week's notice for 2 nights. They took excellent care of our Maybelline and provided a photo showing Maybelline enjoying being pet. We ran slightly behind picking up Maybelline, and Tiffany and David accommodated. We greatly appreciate their flexibility and service and will absolutely use their services again in the future.

Jocelyn is truly the sweetest person ever. She is a great communicator, and I received messages and pictures of Bella every day. I could tell from every photo that Bella was happy, comfortable, and receiving the best care. When I picked Bella up and placed her in the car, she was very calm and relaxed. She usually shakes, so seeing her that peaceful showed me just how safe and comfortable Jocelyn made her feel. I absolutely loved having Jocelyn as Bella’s sitter. She is truly one of a kind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Bella.

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Daisy! She watched her for two weeks and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent lots of photos and updates, so we always knew Daisy was happy, having fun, and being well cared for. Ashley has an Australian Shepherd and a German Shepherd, and they all got along great with Daisy. She always had friends to play with, which made her stay even more enjoyable. Ashley also took her on walks and treated her like one of her own. We could tell Daisy was loved and well cared for from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

This was my first time leaving my boy & everything from the profile to communication made me feel really comfortable. I knew this was going to be a place he would be comfortable as well. If you are going to leave your furry family I can guarantee this is the best spot.

Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated. She is caring and offered suggestions about diet and treats and worked with her on her first nite getting to sleep in a strange place. Her large doodle ended up being a great play buddy outside. We will use her again for sure.

I don't normally leave reviews, but our experience with Sarah was exceptional and worth sharing. Sarah cared for my dog, Lexie, for a week, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is a true animal lover, and it was obvious from the moment we met her that she genuinely enjoys caring for pets. Throughout the stay, she sent daily photos and updates, which gave me and my kids complete peace of mind while I was away. Lexie absolutely loved staying with Sarah. She especially enjoyed playing with Sarah's friendly dogs, getting plenty of outdoor time, and having a comfortable place to relax after a fun day. By the end of the week, I honestly think Lexie felt like she was the one on vacation—and she may have even been a little sad to leave! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, provide lots of love, exercise, and attention, I highly recommend Sarah. I never once worried while Lexie was in her care, and I will absolutely trust Sarah with her again in the future.
We loved Joceyln when we first met her. Our dogs took right to her. She watched our Mako while our Lucy was going through treatments. Mako made two great friends Jocelyn and her dog Whiskey. We got updates and pictures and could tell Mako loved his time away. A blessing to know your pet is taken care of while away. We will definitely use Joceyln again! Can’t thank her enough.

We found ourselves in a pinch and needed a pet sitter for a few days. Amanda was great in responding and setting up a meet and greet with her pups beforehand. I truly felt comfortable leaving our girl Relic with her and she had an awesome time. I would definitely use Amanda again in the future.

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 Leavells 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 Leavells.
<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 Leavells 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.
