“Teona It was fantastic with Charlie. She gave multiple pictures and video updates style just stay with her. Very good care of him. We appreciate her last minute availability! We would use her again if we're ever in the area. And highly recommend!”


“Our dogs were treated so well. They moved the large yard to play in and all the new friends they met. The pictures sent showed how well our dogs were doing and enjoying themselves.”

“Ciara was great- she sent pictures the whole time we were gone and Liv didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up! And to make it even better Liv was exhausted and slept all day so we could unpack and settle in when we got home!”

“Scott and Amanda are fantastic with Lily. I always feel comfortable entrusting them with my girl. She plays super hard so she sleeps for a day when she gets home. Happy girl = happy Mom. Thanks for taking care of my baby.”

“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”

“Ryan and Stephanie kept me updated daily on Muppet’s visit and how she was doing. She was getting a lot of attention and loved every minute of it. We were a little late picking her up, but Ryan and Stephanie were understanding. When I picked her up, she was very content and happy and did not seem to have any stress whatsoever.”

“Jennifer is hands down the best dog sitter! She made our Sadie girl feel like she was at home. She spent her time exercising Sadie throughout the day and snuggled with her at night. Sadie doesn’t eat very much when we go out of town, she ate each night she was there! That’s how I know she was comfortable. We will be booking Jennifer for now on! I can’t say enough nice things about her!”

“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”

“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”

“My dog, Teddy, absolutely loved staying with Savannah H and family! As soon as we arrived on the farm, Teddy didn’t turn back - he loved the environment and was ready to meet new friends. Savannah sent pictures so I knew that he was having fun and doing well. I was actually sad for Teddy that his stay was only for one night! I highly recommend Savannah H as she’s super kind and loves all animals!”

“Paul and Terri were absolutely amazing! They offered great communication, gave extra care and attention to our allergy pup, sent pictures throughout the day, and were flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as we traveled out of state. They have more than enough outdoor space for pups to play safely. They were attentive to our pups needs, limiting outdoor time when too hot. I could tell by the pictures shared that our pup was happy and comfortable while in their care. Thank You Guys!!”

“We boarded our cockapoo with Jared for 6 nights. Our dog loves people and is very interactive and playful, with high energy, so we wanted a sitter who would be good with him. Jared turned out to be a good match. He was easy going and attentive to Griffin’s needs. Jared communicated with us well and sent pictures of Griffin almost daily to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Jared and will book another stay for Griffin in the future.”

“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”

“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.”

“Maggie took great care of Haru, she is very attentive and sent us daily updates while we were away. Our dog was very happy. I definitely recommend Maggie if you need someone trustworthy and reliable to watch your pet.”

“Dickson and Maria were great hosts. Their dog was well behaved and played well with Barkley. We had a situation where I had to pick him up earlier than planned and they were able to accommodate. I appreciated their flexibility. Thank you!”


“Absolutely recommend! My senior girl can get really anxious when I leave, especially with someone new, and she settled in with George and his family right away. She stayed almost a week for her first stay and it went amazing. Tons of walks, pets, treats, and cuddles, plus George kept me updated the whole time with plenty of pictures. I was able to actually relax and enjoy my trip, and I'll definitely be booking them again!”

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 Mascot 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 Mascot.
<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 Mascot 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.
