“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
“Scout was not ready to leave this house. David and his family were amazing sitters and will be hearing from me the next time I require care. Thank you guys for taking such great care of Scout!!”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“I was so glad to be able to leave my Layla with Andrea and her sweet chihuahuas. Andrea gave Layla so much loving attention and sent me regular updates, including a heartwarming picture of Layla holding paws with one of her pups. It made my trip relaxing and enjoyable to know that Layla was in excellent hands. I hope to be able to leave Layla with Andrea every time I need to travel.”
“My 2 dogs enjoyed their time with Jona. She sent lots of pictures and was great in communicating how they were doing while we were out of town. I’d recommend her to others all the time.”
“Jeannette took good care of LuLu during the stay, and sent multiple pictures updates. I will definitely recommend and will book again if I need a sitter in the future! Thanks again Jeannette!”
“This is my second time booking with Helena & Nathan! Louis loves doing zoomies in their backyard and came back home exhausted. He had a minor paw injury before dropping him off which required them to clean his paw every night and they had no problem doing it. Thanks so much!!”
“Ingrid is the best! This is the second time we book her to care for our dog for more than 2 weeks and it gives us peace of mind she is with an amazing pet sitter like Ingrid. Thank you for everything you did for Mili❤️”
“Carrie and Matt are spectacular! Our little pup is high energy and they had so many good experiences for her and maintained clear and regular communication. Highly Recommended.”
“Guojin was very communicative and kept me consistently updated with my puppy, Manjoo. He was caring, followed all my instructions, and most importantly, made communication seamless throughout the experience. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend! Thanks Quojin!”
“Absolute best care of our pets and our home. Our dog and 2 cats were happy to see us when we returned from vacation and showed no signs of stress. Our home was in great shape too. We are so pleased. We highly recommend Christine.”
“Andrew and his family provided such a wonderful and warm home for an anxious pup like ours. It was Colters first time at a sitters home and they made it go as perfectly as possible. We can’t thank Andrew & co enough and highly recommend him to all pup parents!”
“Lindsey was very responsive and sent photos of my boy every day. She took great care of him and he had so much fun playing with her dog he was exhausted when we came back home.”
“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”
“Angela was amazing! They took such great care of my dog sending regular updates and adorable photos. It was clear my pet was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was away. Communication was easy and reassuring from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makleys Corner
Mariel went above & beyond taking care of our 16 yr. old cairn terrier. She made sure Cinnamon was given all her medications, and taken on daily walks. She also gave recommendations for dog beds and supplements. Mariel even took Cinnamon to get her nails clipped because she noticed they were causing her discomfort. Mariel sent us updates, pictures, and videos of Cinnamon every day. We are grateful and relieved we found such a genuinely concerned sitter, so we could go visit a family member out of state.
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!
Brendan was absolutely amazing with Jim!! He sent daily updates, usually a few times a day, took such great care of him, exercised him, played with him, and was overall just so attentive and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jim will absolutely be going back to stay with Brendan in the future. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.
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! ❤️🐾

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 Makleys Corner 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 Makleys Corner.
<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 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 , 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.
