“Wonderful, wonderful caretaker of my most precious furbabies! Thanks so much for your flexibility during my hectic work travels!! It's good to know they are in safe and loving hands<3”
“I knew Cojo was in the best hands from the start! Lynn went above and beyond what I expected and I never was worried once. I was sent updates daily + knew my boy was being spoiled with great care and attention. Thank you for all that you did, we appreciate you so much! ❤️”
“We’ve had them watch our babies 3 times now and they take wonderful care of them. Super grateful to have someone safe and trustworthy with our pets while we’re out of town.”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Monica and her family were fantastic! Their backyard is amazing! Our dog loved playing with their dogs and was fascinated with their other pets. Monica was great about sending updates and pictures throughout the week. Our dog couldn’t have been happier. We would definitely leave our dog with Monica and her family if we are in the Hampton Roads area again.”
“Elizabeth was great! She took time to do a quick meet and greet with Oscar before hand. She gave us updates throughout Oscar’s stay. I could tell our fur baby was happy in the pictures! Thank you so much for taking care of Oscar!”
“Suzanne was incredibly flexible with scheduling on short notice and took great care of Juno! She sent multiple photos and messages of Juno with her cats and I would definitely choose Suzanne again if I need a sitter.”
“Highly recommend Kacie to anyone!!! We are semi-new to the area and needed to find someone to watch our 8 year old dog while we were away for a week trip out of the country. Kacie offered up doing a meet and greet which was extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily pictures and updates. We didn’t have to worry at all! Our dog loved his time with Kacie and will definitely be having her watch our sweet pup again.”
“Tameka was fantastic. She kept me abreast of what was going on with Justice and sent plenty of pictures for me to enjoy. I'll definitely be a return customer the next time I have to leave the state.”
“Deidre did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was in the middle of moving. Her experience with pets and cats specifically gave me peace of mind. She took great care of our cats and provided regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Deidre and would happily use her again!”
“Renee was great, I can't say it enough. I'm happy I found her to take care of our two dogs. She was very flexible and treated them like her own. They loved her huge yard and had tons of playtime with other dogs. We will definitively have them stay with Renee for our next vacation.”
“Sarah was amazing!!!! Not only is she a total sweetheart, she took such good care of our fur baby! You can just tell she treated him like he was her own during our time away. She sent us updates and photos, and was overall a great communicator. She went above and beyond, and even provided a goodie bag for him as a parting gift. We'd definitely have her take care our little guy again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Heather is the perfect sitter! She took excellent care of both of our dogs. She even administered oral meds to our elderly dog with no issues. She sent pictures and video of them having fun. I am glad we booked with her.”

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 Mathews 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 Mathews.
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 Mathews 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.
