“The experience with Sonja and Phil was absolutely amazing. They Communicate well and quickly! Enzo was loved on like their own. They even ordered and installed a broken buckle on his collar while we were gone! We will definitely be using them many times in the future 🙂”
“Amber was Fabulous with our pup🎉💐🎉!!!! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their habits and mannerisms. A true Dog Whisperer!!!! Her communication while boarding was excellent and she sent daily videos and pictures of our little guy. We will definitely use Amber in the future and I fully recommend her.”
“We will def be repeat customers. Thank you so much for the care and constant updates throughout our trip! We can always tell from our pup on the ride home if they had a good stay and we def saw that Kaia was treated and pampered during her stay! Thank you so much Rebecca!”
“Mrs. Connie was the best pet sitter we have ever had for our pet. She kept great and constant communication. I absolutely loved the pictures that she sent of Pearl having so much fun!! She treated her like one of her own. We will definitely book again!!”
“First time leaving my Ziggy with a complete stranger and I was sooooo nervous! Larissa kept me updated on his progress with many pictures and communication. She is definitely my all time pet sitter!”
“Charlotte is absolutely amazing!!! She really helped us out with our two rambunctious 3 1/2 month old puppies when a family member was no longer able to watch the pups just days before our trip. With less than a week Charlotte was able to schedule an and meet and greet and add get us on her schedule. We were really in a jam and appreciate her so much. Charlotte has a lot of experience and with her background I felt very comfortable leaving our little ones in her care. Charlotte provided multiple daily updates and photos. Our girls had a wonderful time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Sarah and Jacob took such good care of my pup while I was traveling. I really appreciated the meet and greet in advance and the daily updates with photos while I was away. My girl looked happy in all the photos and it made me feel less guilty about leaving her.”
“Crystal is incredible with dogs and her family is wonderful! Kali felt right at home and Crystal kept us updated the entire time. She even provided pictures! Her response time is fast and her communication is clear and professional. I would definitely recommend Crystal as a pet-sitter and I do plan on booking with her again!”
“Sawyer has stayed with Tahliyah a couple of times now and both times have been great. Sawyer loves Rocket and the second time he stayed he was so excited to see Rocket he ran into the house and forgot all about us. It feels like sawyer gets to go hang out at a friends house rather than getting boarded which makes for two happy pawrents! Tahliyah is wonderful and flexible which we really appreciate!”
“Camryn & her husband were lovely & they took excellent care of our very small 9 year old dog while we were away for the weekend. She sent photos daily & was in communication as needed.”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“David and Tiffany were wonderful with Ollie. I also appreciated how quick and responsive they were whenever we were communicating. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“My dog Oreo was a little under the weather when the time came for his overnight, and Heather managed that easily. She took great care of him and kept me informed with snapshots showing how well he was doing. I was very happy about how this first time went and recommend Heather highly to other dogmoms.”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“We had such a great experience! She was incredibly caring and loving with Luna, and it was clear Luna enjoyed her time there. I really appreciated the photo check‑ins, they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent and she made leaving our dog with her stress‑free.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 672 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Locks Corner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Locks Corner 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 Locks Corner 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 Locks Corner.
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.
You and your Locks Corner 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.
