Mariel was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Maple while we were away and treated her like part of the family. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated! She also took Maple on fun outings and spoiled her with special treats like pup cups. It was so clear from all the updates that Maple was having the best time and felt completely comfortable with Mariel and her family. We also really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maple was in such loving hands. We would absolutely book with Mariel again and highly recommend her!
My dog Bella is always happy to go see Brendan, and I am always happy knowing she is getting attention and being well taken care of. I love the great communication, many photo reports and ease of scheduling with Brendan. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
Our two dogs were very loved and cared for while we were out of town for four days. Erika checked in every day, and sent pictures. Lucy and Bernice got a lot of love and attention, which was great because both the dogs having anxiety. It was also the dogs’ first time staying with Erika and family, and they did really well. Thank you.
GREAT SITTER AND VERY ATTENTIVE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She took excellent care of Atlas! I mentioned that he sometimes accidentally pees on his leg and that, with previous sitters, he has come home with staining on his white fur. Not this time! Atlas came home just as clean and white as he was when I dropped him off! 🥰 It’s the little details like this that show how attentive and caring she is. I truly appreciate the extra care she took with my baby and would absolutely recommend her!
Bella had a great time with Dorrie, Rob and their sweet dog Dottie during our 5 day vacation. I knew after our meet and greet that she would be well taken care of, comfortable in their peaceful home and get all the attention and walks that she loves. Bella was so happy to return and Dorrie sent multiple updates and photos during her stay. Communication, drop off and pick up were also terrific. I highly recommend Dorrie!
We had such a wonderful experience! John, Gretchen, and their wonderful family took such great care of our dogs and treated them like their own. We really appreciated the daily updates and adorable photos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would absolutely recommend them! ❤️🐾

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.
94% of sitters in Makleys 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 Makleys 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 Makleys 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Makleys Corner. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Makleys 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.
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.
