“Kathryn and her family watched our Shiloh while we were away on a work trip. Shiloh is new to our family and a puppy so I was nervous about leaving her, but Kathryn and her family took such great care of Shiloh and updated throughout our trip. Literally all worries I had were relieved within minutes of leaving her there! I could not recommend Kathryn more!”
“My dogs are always happy to spend some time with Rebecca and her family. They are well taken care of and I trust my pups in their care. I will continue to book with Rebecca. Thank you again !”
“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! :)”
“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.”
“Heather and family are very welcoming. My baby boy was immediately comfortable with them, and the communication is phenomenal!! So happy I found them and looking forward to continue using their services.”
“This was my first time leaving my boy & everything from the profile to communication made me feel really comfortable. I knew this was going to be a place he would be comfortable as well. If you are going to leave your furry family I can guarantee this is the best spot.”
“My husband and I booked with Denise two days prior for our last minute little weekend get away . Denise responded in 10 minutes and set up a meet and greet and we enjoyed the meet and greet so much we booked her . She gave us a run down of everything and she interacted well with our Laika girl. She even accommodated the fact that Laika isn’t good with being around other dogs. She gave my baby girl one on one time and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation.We was able to enjoy a vacation and Laika was able to enjoy a mini vacation as well. When we picked Laika up she told us just how lucky we were to have Laika and called her the “model boarding dog“ . We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Felt good to trust someone with my pup and treat her like their own, so much that Laika didn’t even seem like she wanted to leave.”
“I wish there was a way to leave a higher than 5 star review for Audree and her amazing family. From the moment you drop your fur baby off until you pick them up you’re aware of what’s happening. There is also such genuine care. Louie, my 11 month old pup, had a neuter and umbilical hernia removal that had a few complications. Even though when he was there he was fully healed he still had a tender tummy. When dropping them off it was reiterated back to me everything they’d do to ensure he was properly cared for. If you’re going between who to leave your dog with stop your search and trust you’ve found the right people for the job.”
“Edith is nothing short of absolutely amazing! We had a very last-minute situation with me going out of town for work and my husband tied up with commitments he couldn’t miss. We signed up for Rover and immediately matched with Edith. Not only was she able to accommodate our last-minute boarding and sitting request, but she went above and beyond. We received the sweetest pictures and videos of our puppy, Rosie, which warmed our hearts and gave us peace of mind. With how busy my work has been the last few months, I’m only just now able to sit down and truly thank her for ALL she did—including keeping us consistently updated on how Rosie was doing. On top of that, we faced another unexpected challenge during the stay, and Edith once again came to the rescue. Our family is forever grateful that our paths crossed with hers, and we will be using Edith for ALL of our puppy’s needs moving forward. Amazing care, Edith—thank you!”
“Thank you so much Matisa for keeping my dogs for me. Thanks for the daily updates and pictures of the boys. They returned home safely and they are so relaxed and not so talkative 😂. Best person I ever let to keep my boys. Thanks again.”
“I am new to Rover and had never left my dog with anyone but a family member. But when I met Erica I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her home was very clean and inviting. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely plan to use her services again.”
“Traci is phenomenal with our dogs! She took care of our furbaby a week after his surgery when my family had to go out of town. She made sure he was comfortable and was sure to provide updates throughout the time we were gone. We highly recommend Traci!”
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
“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.”
“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!”

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 McHenry 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 McHenry.
<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 McHenry 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.
