“We left our dog for boarding for 9 days and he really enjoyed his stay! We have already scheduled his next visit! Would strongly suggest using them to anyone!”
“Wonderful experience leaving our dog with this lovely family. Received regular updates and felt very comfortable with the care they provided. Can recommend them without hesitation, and will be requesting a ‘rebook’ during our next trip out of town.”
“This is our second time leaving our dog with Amanda and Scott. They are truly caring dog-lovers, and we are grateful that we can travel with confidence, knowing that Pip will be well cared for❤️”
“Exceptional service. Stephanie goes over and beyond to help and assist. Your pup would be lucky to have both her, Max and Callie to hangout with. They were a great help as we transitioned with our PCS. We will miss them and Nala will definitely miss them more.”
“Thank you Paul and Terri! Super sweet family and you made Bailey feel right at home. If I am in the area again I will be sure to contact you again. Thank you 😊”
“We had another great experience with Jared. This was the second time he's taken care of our dog, and he was excellent. We received daily pictures and updates, and our dog had a great time. We will definitely keep using him.”
“We are so happy our dog was with Robin during our getaway! She was nicely cared for and happy to be around her two pups. Robin is a very responsible pet caregiver, we highly recommend her services!”
“Dickson and Maria took wonderful care of our 16 year old beagle mix. We received daily updates with pictures/videos. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was getting plenty of time and attention, and excellent care. It’s difficult to leave a senior dog, but Dickson and Maria did wonderful, I had no worries at all!”
“Omaira & Isaac were great. They took care of my furry friend for 5 days and provided pictures and videos throughout the stay while I was out of town. I'll definitely be using them again in the near future.”
“What a wonderful home for my dog Pixie to visit. I think her time there was like being on vacation. Lauryn did a fantastic job. The home is cleaner than mine. The fenced in back yard is spacious. The whole family is attentive and loving towards Pixie. Highly recommend.”
“Ryan & Stephanie were great! They responded quickly to my original request and were extremely good at communication. Most importantly, Hazel felt right at home with this awesome family while we’re out of town. 110% recommend!”
“Savannah is amazing. I could tell that my puppers was so happy in her care. She loved playing with her dogs and being outside in the fresh air. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog. I will be contacting her again.”
“They took great care of our older dog. We could not have asked for a better first experience using Rover. Plenty of updates and we were able to relax and enjoy family vacation time knowing he was being well loved and cared for.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mrs. Crystal is truly a blessing! The peace of mind we have when Jaxon is in her care is priceless. She communicates well and treats him with such genuine love and attention. He always comes home happy and relaxed, it truly feels like his home away from home.”
“We are so happy we found Bryan! After a bad pet transport, our Scotti has had aggression issues being around strangers. Bryan had no problem taking him and calming him down quickly. He is his normal sweet self at Bryan’s home and he loves the whole family. They take such good care of him and always send lots of updates and pictures. We feel confident taking vacations knowing he’s in good hands!”
“Ciara and her family were amazing! They treated our fur babies like her own and her littles just loved our girls. We felt very at ease dropping them off and picking them up and were very thankful for all the sweet pictures throughout their stay. Thank you Ciara!”
“Jackie gives me 5 star feelings! I’ll be a repeat client. Her communication was on point, and it was evident through videos and pics that my dog was comfortable and happy while in her care.”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lightfoot
This was my senior dog's very first pet sitting experience outside of family and friends. I was nervous, but once I met Teona I realized I had nothing to worry about! Teona is a very warm, caring and knowledgeable dog sitter. My dog easily warmed up to Teona and looked very happy staying with her. I'd easily recommend Teona & Louelyn M for pet sitting without hesitation - I'm grateful for them!
Lyra, Scott and family were so welcoming and loving to my pup/baby, Mason. I’ve had a dog sitter for 6 years of this life back in Florida so finding someone that I can trust totally with his care was so very important to me since moving to Williamsburg. I got regular updates with pictures which was reassuring and felt comforted for the 7 days I was out of town. We will definitely be using them again for my next trip
Thank you so much Amanda for watching Corvus back to back. You guys always treat our pups like they’re your own, and you always take such good care of them. I always appreciate the pictures and updates you send. It’s such a stress reliever knowing he’s doing well and having so much fun. We’ll see you guys next time.
Sputnik received wonderful care and attention from Dickson & Maria! Sputnik is 11 pounds and their dog and the other guest dog were much bigger but Dickson & Maria took extra care when introducing them to each other so that there was no doggy drama. I would be happy to use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Ashton was very patient with my anxious spaniel and managed to make her feel secure and confident enough to play with her own dog. It was such a relief to know that my dog felt happy, playful, and secure away from home. I’ll certainly call on her in the future for pet sitting and perhaps even playtime for my dog, who now seems eager to make new canine friends. This development has been a real breakthrough for my once-timid and fearful spaniel.
We booked a stay for our dog while we went out of town for a few days. They were hands down the best dog sitters I have ever booked with. They were great on communication and he was so well taken care of. I could really tell how happy he was in all the photos they sent. They really went above and beyond and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter and we will definitely be booking with them 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 Lightfoot 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 Lightfoot.
<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 Lightfoot 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.
