“Our first experience with Alyson was excellent. She did a wonderful job watching our LucyBelle. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and LucyBelle seemed her normal happy self when we picked her up. Will definitely be using her again.”
“There are just no words for how awesome Leigha and her family are! Jackson had a wonderful time (as he napped most of the evening after pick up) and receiving pictures of him as part of their "family" were awesome!! Thank you so much for being so awesome with my baby boy!”
“My dog had so much fun with Hannah, her dog, and two young girls, that I felt bad taking him back to our everyday life and routine. Hannah was responsive and considerate, and was good about providing updates throughout the stay. My wife was relieved to not have any worries about our dog for the week we were away. We look forward to using her services again!”
“We are so pleased with how well our 2 pups were cared for. They stayed 8 nights and we didn’t worry about them at all. We missed Mac and Zoe and Jennifer was kind enough to message us every day with a picture showing how much fun they were having. The pups were having fun too!! Haha. We will use Jennifer and her family again to watch our 2 babies. We are thankful to have found them.”
“Erica was absolutely wonderful with my two pups. I received daily updates and photos of them, and they appeared to be having the time of their lives! No complaints from me at all, and I will definitely rebook!”
“I highly recommend Ashlee. She took really good care of my dog. She sent pictures everyday of him and he looked very content n happy. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you very much again”
About: From puppies to elder pups, I have cared for all. Look forward to a wonderful time away while your pups enjoy their own relaxing vacation. I am home most of the day and will tend to the pups as needed or every 2 hrs, allowing potty breaks, walks and fenced in free play time. I strive to make each pup feel as comfortable as possible and follow their usual routines. I have a pool house where they can either free range or be kenneled with fenced in area. In addition, I have a spacious outdoor kennels with a fenced in area. Let me know your pups needs and I will make a care plan that works best!
“David was amazing. I felt secure and happy that my pup was being taken care of. He kept communication and sent plenty of pictures. I would rebook again if I have to travel again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats since I was a child. I’m 30 years old, & I work in Dentistry Monday-Thursday 8-6, so I will be the only person in my home that can look after your animals anytime Friday-Sunday! I work full time in a Dental office Monday thru Thursday 8am to 6pm, so I would be available after 6pm until the next morning. I’m available anytime Friday thru Sunday. I have leashes in our yard. It is a 2 year old home & I have not saved up for a fence yet. I have 2 friendly male dogs. I have cats in our home as well, so if your animal doesn’t do well with other animals I have a large crate in our garage it can sleep in, & I can keep our animals separate.
“I loved how responsive Lori was both when making the booking and providing updates when she had my dog Flash staying with her. She was very flexible and accommodating, and her wealth of experience with dogs gave me great peace of mind about leaving Flash with her. I recommend Lori to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“She was GREAT!!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone other than family and was nervous, but she was awesome about keeping us updated and letting us know how she was doing. Will definitely recommend Molly and will book with her again”
“We left Bella, our 6 month old pit mix with her and she did absolutely amazing! We got daily pics and updates of Bella and she would always text back right away! Bella had so much fun and we will for sure be having Kristy dog-sit next time we go out of town! Thank you Kristy!!”
“Melanie was awesome with my baby girl! I was so nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Melanie was so good with her and kept me updated! Definitely going to use her again for my future sitter needs”
About: My name is Annabell, and I'm a self-proclaimed animal lover with years of pet sitting experience. I grew up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, and I've always had a soft spot for furry friends. I’m currently working part time at the animal shelter I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, but I'm also comfortable with small mammals, reptiles, and even the occasional exotic pet. I'm always up for a challenge, and I love learning about new animals and their unique needs. One of the things that sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level. I pride myself on being able to read an animal's body language and understand their needs, even if they can't tell me in words. I'm also experienced in administering medication, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. I know that pets are more than just animals - they're family members - and I treat them with the same love and care that I would want for my own pets. When I'm not pet sitting, you can usually find me exploring the great outdoors with my own furry friend. I'm an avid hiker and nature lover, and I believe that spending time in nature is just as important for pets as it is for humans. If you're looking for a fun-loving and experienced pet sitter who truly cares about your furry friend, look no further. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I understand trust is a big factor in finding the right sitter. I always do meet and greets beforehand to make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me. In my time of being a pet owner myself and professionally sitting I have a developed a high understanding of the care, temperament and just fun activities for the the doggos and cats to enjoy! ( and of course all your farm, exotic and aquatic friends)
About: I’m a new stay at home mom who loves your pets as one of her own! I take pride in nurturing, loving, & being attentive to your pets needs! I've been doing this service for about 9 years now & I took a break from petsitting after having my daughter but now I’m getting back into it since having her in Feb! I am usually pretty available throughout the year & open availability most weekends. For boarding, I do have 2 cats. Cats are inside but I have a large, non-fenced in backyard. I would love to be able to help you and your family live an easier & simpler life!! If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to ask or send me a message! Thank you so much y’all! I am a full-time stay at home parent with a 2 year old so I am pretty flexible with my schedule & when your pet is in my care, they are my number 1 priority! They will be very loved & well looked after while in my care! When your pet is in my care, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable & safe as possible. I am very attentive to their needs, give them lots of lovings, & stimulate your pets physical needs by walking when the weather permits! I do update the pet owner daily/every other day on how their pup is doing & sending pictures to help was the worry of the pet owner (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mendota. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Mendota can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Mendota 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 Mendota.
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 Mendota 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.
