“Christine was great with my dog Murphy! We did a quick meet and greet prior to my trip and once on the trip she sent photos and updates of how he was doing. She was super flexible with pickup time and Murphy seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Zeta is our beloved 9yr old, 7lb havanese dog who never does well when we travel, until now. Sophie, her dog Love, and their family took wonderful care of zeta, sending us multiple photos a day. We are so happy to have found Sophie.”


“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”

“We don’t use rover often but when we do we try to use Danyelle. Aspen always seems happy and well cared for when she gets home! We hope to continue to use her in the future as she’s available 🥰”

“I was out of the country for 10 days. Usually friends or family watch my dog, so I was a little nervous about using Rover. I booked with Jizelle, and she was wonderful from the first message through pick-up. She was responsive, communicative, attentive, and accommodating. I felt relaxed and reassured the entire trip I was gone. Her dogs are great too! I highly recommend her and would book again!”


“My two Chihuahua boys were very well taken care of by Veronica and enjoyed their weekend stay with her. She is very kind and loving and it gives you the so important peace of mind when you have to travel without your dogs. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Russ and his family were great. He had a big yard for him and the other dogs to roam around in and he even took Shiner for his daily walks when the weather was good. I got alot of pictures and videos which I could see the smile on my fur baby's face. Will definitely use him again.”

“I recently used Brogan to care for my dog while I was away on short notice, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the very first message, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs, which immediately put me at ease.”

“Sam is a very respectful, honest, and accommodating. He always replies to our inquires in a timely fashion. He notifies us as soon as there is any issue or concern with our dog and offers the best care possible. He sends updates regularly. He optimizes his visits with our pup with long walks and play. I know our dog is in good hands when he is with Sam! I highly recommend.”

“Catherine and Nikhit were fantastic. They took excellent care of my pup, who was spoiled with walks and cuddles and didn't want to leave. I will be utilizing them again.”

“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”

“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”

“Joy has been an exceptional caretaker for our senior dog! She was very flexible with our odds drop off and pick up needs; she sent pictures every day; and our dog loved exploring her yard with her dog, Caz, and her daughter. We will absolutely book with Joy again!”

Vivian did a great job taking care of our 2 pups for 2 weeks! She was very flexible and accommodating when we had slight changes to our travel plans. She sent some photos throughout the 2 weeks which was appreciated! I would recommend Vivian to others and use her again!

Such a lovely family! My pups seem to really love their "vacations" and play time with Jennifer & Joel's dogs. I really appreciate their patience with my dogs over excitement at pick up. The daily picture updates are great and show that my pups are well loved in their home. Thank you!

We had a phenomenal experience with Catherine as a caretaker for our dog, Sadie. She went way above and beyond in making sure Sadie was loved and comfortable. She also took lots of photos and was very communicative through Sadie’s stay. We will be hiring Catherine again the next time we need a pet sitter!

We were in a pinch and Denise and Mauricio had a booking fall through, and we’re so happy it worked out! Denise and Mauricio (and their wonderful kids) took such great care of Jack, and we never worried about a thing. They sent lots of updates and were flexible on both drop off and pickup. Their home was perfect for our Boston Terrier, and they were cognizant of all of his quirks. We really loved having them watch our dog Jack and know he looks forward to his next staycation with this fantastic family and their lovely home.
Writing I can’t say enough good things about Brogan! I found her on Rover and had never met her before, so leaving my pup with someone new felt like a big step. From the start, Brogan put me at ease by sending numerous updates throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. When I picked up my pup, she was excited to see me, of course, but the sweetest moment was watching her as Brogan walked away. I could tell my pup had grown attached to Brogan, too, and that she loved her! Seeing that genuine connection meant more to me than words can say. It was clear that Brogan hadn’t just watched my dog—she had made her feel safe, happy, and loved. Brogan was wonderful about keeping me informed and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I’m so glad I found her, and I would absolutely trust her with my pup again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with genuine care and affection, I highly recommend Brogan!

Javier was amazing with our dog Brody! It was our first time using Rover and Javier made us feel at ease with multiple updates a day, videos, and photos. Brody loved the backyard and with every update from Javier, we felt more and more at ease that our Brody was being taken care of. Highly recommend Javier!

Annie was super sweet, very communicative, took lots of pictures, and was so easy to work with! We will definitely be booking with her again. It’s such a great feeling to find someone who you know you can trust with your dogs when you move to a new area. She was awesome!

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 Lincolnia home-away-from-home, 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 Lincolnia.
<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 Lincolnia 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 , 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 .
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.
