“So helpful, my booking was last minute and i greatly appreciate Whitney being able to watch my pups for me. My dogs were so warm out from playing so much at her house. Will definitely keep her at the top of my list!”
“This was the best first experience using Rover! Meagan and her family was great! They cared very well for Rocko and made him feel at home. I'll definitely book Meagan again on my next adventure!”
“I left my pup with Edith over the holidays and she had a great time. There was a fenced in yard she got to tire herself out in running around with the friends she made with Edith's dogs. If the dogs didn't get along, there are different areas in the house to keep them separated, so there was never any worry that my pup would have a comfortable stay.”

“Highly recommend Leah and Christopher for dog sitting! Finn felt right at home and loved running around their fenced yard. They were very helpful wi the my changing schedule and sent lots of pix of Finn! We will definitely ask to come back!”
“Another GREAT experience with Stephen. He is super communicative, attentive and on top of all the dogs' needs. He watched our two girls for a week - they had a great time and I know they were so well taken care of. Stephen has become our go to, first choice sitter for our fur-babies.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Lana was amazing with my dogs! I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups at the last minute and she was nice enough to help me out. She is such a nice and genuine person that loves animals! My pups were very comfortable staying with her. Thank you Lana 🙏🏽”
“This was the first time that I had to use a sitter for Misty and I would recommend Matisa to everybody. She has years of experience caring for animals which was top on my list of concerns. She is caring which totally was a relief for me to know that Misty was in good hands. Thanks you so very much for the care you provided for Misty.”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
“Ingrid was amazing! I took a chance in contacting her for a last minute sit for our fur baby and she was very accommodating! Received updates and pictures and our fur baby was so comfortable. So glad that Ingrid’s kids loved our baby and were especially helpful in her care too! Warm loving home for your fur babies? Definitely will reach out again.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and our first stay with Warren. Our dog, Captain Jack, had a wonderful stay. Warren kept me updated with pictures daily. Jack had plenty of playmates to keep him busy, in fact he didn't want to leave. Warren went out of his way to make sure Jack had a good stay and that the whole process was as easy and convenient as possible. We will definaely be booking with Warren again!”
“Heather did an amazing job of taking care of Eli while I was out of town. She kept me up-to-date with pics of him of their daily activities, relayed funny stories, and was thorough in asking questions and catering to his lifestyle and well being. Leaving Eli with Heather left me with peace of mine and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“This is a long over due review! I left my pup with Joey for about half a week and he is great. The Instagram stories are a great and creative way to show what your pup is up to! But more importantly he understands dog behavior. If you are considering him for any services at all, let this be your sign to stress no longer!!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Mitchells 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 Mitchells 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 Mitchells.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mitchells. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Mitchells 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
