“Connie is awesome!!! She was available last minute and always makes drop off and pick up super convenient. She will always send photos of your furry pet throughout the day and takes outstanding care with attention to detail every time. I will not use anyone else and will adjust traveling plans if she is not available. She is highly recommended and she will not disappoint expectations.”
“Bodie stayed with Phillip for two weeks while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. Being so far away from home, it gave me real peace of mind knowing Bodie was in great hands. Phillip regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I was able to see that Bodie was happy, comfortable, and doing well. Bodie especially enjoyed having the large backyard to roam around in. One of the things I appreciated most was that he wasn’t placed in a kennel like he had been with a previous boarder. I know having the freedom to relax in a home environment made him much more comfortable and helped reduce his anxiety. It’s not easy leaving your dog for two weeks, especially when you’re far away, but I never had to worry about whether Bodie was being well cared for. Phillip took great care of him, and I would absolutely trust him with Bodie again.”
“Julie did a wonderful job caring for my Marli! She provided updates and photos while I was on my trip. I could tell that Marli really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in Julie's large yard as she came home very tired. I plan to use Julie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her services!”
“She is wonderful, you can see in her eyes she loves every dog she takes care of. She treats them as family. It’s very heartwarming to meet someone like her to care for my doggy. We’ll be back! :)”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“For Rascal, being at Lorena's is like being at home except better: he's allowed to sleep on the furniture at Lorena's. Not at all spoiled! Lorena's entire family (including her own dogs) treats Rascal like one of the family. This is, by far, the best boarding experience (home away from home) he has ever had.”
“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”
“Charlotte is a phenomenal sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! You can tell she really understands dogs, and our boy Bruno feels so comfortable with Charlotte’s “pack”. She is a great communicator and caretaker!”
“I was nervous at first since it was my first time using Rover, but Larissa completely put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet beforehand to see how my dog, Buddha, would adjust—and it went great! Larissa was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. Buddha had a fantastic time and came home happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found her—we’ll definitely be coming back from now on!”
“These people love dogs. My Bugsy loves going to the house and playing with the other dogs. They have such a great home set up for taking care of animals. I will use them every time I leave the area.”
“Mary and her family were great. I could tell that Winston loved being with them. From the time he entered the house until I picked him up they were wonderful with him. Mary sent plenty of pictures and daily updates on their activities. I would not hesitate using Mary to care for Winston in the future.”

“We are repeat clients of Heather. She is our first choice for dog boarding not only because Lucky is well cared for while with her, but also because she takes the time to understand his personality and tendencies. We trust Heather to care for our family member!”
“Awesome Loving home! Christine and family has got to be the most amazing dog lovers ever. I usually take my Bella to Calypso Kennel however, they were booked for Christmas vacation several months out. I took a chance and so glad I did. Bella enjoyed her stay and was so content. I highly recommend Christine and family!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I want to make that experience a little easier for both of you. I’m patient, caring, and happy to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable from their favorite activities to the little things they’re particular about. I’ll follow their routine and your care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures and messages. Feel free to share anything you’d like me to know about them. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and knowing how your pet is doing! When I accept a booking, I set aside time to give your dog dependable care and attention. I confirm the schedule and care instructions with you beforehand, arrive on time for walks and visits, and follow your dog’s routine for meals, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. In my home or yours, I make sure your pet’s space is safe by keeping doors secure and food, cleaning products, and small objects out of reach. On walks, I use a secure leash and follow your instructions about interactions with other dogs and people. Before care begins, I ask about allergies, health concerns, behavior, and anything your pet needs to feel comfortable. I keep your contact information and vet details handy, respect your home, and let you know promptly if anything seems wrong
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McCarthys Corner
Camryn B and his wife are the sweetest couple and I appreciate them both for watching after my fur child. Camryn sent me photos out of the blue which really set me at ease. I was very anxious about leaving him but they made it easy and I look forward to reaching out to Camryn in the future.
She was amazing watching Chloe and Willie. Since Chloe on heart medicine she did a great job giving her medicine when she was suppose to.have. Both pups really enjoyed staying with her and enjoyed all the attention. She did so good with the pups. Will be bringing them back to her.
Royal Farms Ranch is the most wonderful sitter I have ever had. The layout is an absolute pup haven. I can tell my guy is so happy being there, and they have given me an overwhelming sense of confidence in that. I had a moment of panic that my dog was having problems and they went above and beyond in ensuring me he was 100% okay and living his best life. It is such a relief to know my fur-ever friend is safe and given so much love while I’m away. 10/10 would recommend!
Kristina was absolutely wonderful with Callie and Sylvie! We needed care pretty last minute due to having to travel out of state for a funeral, and she was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and friendly from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure our girls were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. I was initially a little hesitant about how they would do in a home with multiple kids since they aren’t around smallerchildren very often, but they had no issues whatsoever! They loved all the extra attention from Kristina’s boys and also enjoyed spending time with their dog, Teddy, and even their cat. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Callie and Sylvie were being cared for and treated like part of the family, especially during such a difficult and unexpected trip. We’re very grateful to Kristina and her family for taking such great care of our girls and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Mary and her family were great. I could tell that Winston loved being with them. From the time he entered the house until I picked him up they were wonderful with him. Mary sent plenty of pictures and daily updates on their activities. I would not hesitate using Mary to care for Winston in the future.

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 McCarthys 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 McCarthys 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 McCarthys 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.
