She also reached out when appropriate to ask questions so I knew she was concerned about my dog’s well-being. Overall, I felt comfortable with our experience and would book her again. Thanks Marcela!”

They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take.

Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!”

Ashley is the best for caring for my pup Rosie. Ashley is loveable, caring, professional, responsive, and very considerate. As long as Ashley stays on Rover - she is the gal I will call on when I need a sitter for Rosie. Very trustworthy and reliable. I am a repeat client :) I highly recommend Ashley for her services....plus she also has a sweet pup named Cosmo and she cares for you pup like it is her own.
is was our first time leaving Mae with someone outside our circle of friends and neighbors, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Shanna and her family were incredibly welcoming, and Mae absolutely loved their large backyard. Mae can be a little skittish in new environments, but within five minutes of arriving, she was already playing with Shanna's dog! Throughout our trip, Shanna sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Mae was happy and having a great time. By the time we brought her home, she was completely worn out from all the fun! We're so glad we found Shanna and her family. She'll absolutely be one of our go-to sitters in the future. Highly recommend!
Monica did an awesome job! Her and her husband are super friendly and welcoming, and I could tell they really love pets. My dog was comfortable with them immediately and very happy and healthy upon my return. They communicated clearly and were very flexible with the timing which was helpful for me to avoid / deal with traffic. They also gave regular updates about the stay, and sent pictures.
Amillita is amazing! We left Maia with her for boarding and she has gone above and beyond in taking care of wMaia. She has taken her for long walks and plays in the backyard and she has even brushed Maia’s teeth before bedtime. In addition, she sent a lot of updates and photos, which we really appreciate! We couldn’t be more happy and satisfied. We are so happy with her service and we highly recommend her! Thank you, Amillita!
Dan was great - he watched my dog for an extended stay and she had the best time. Dan was always responsive and provided daily updates with photos. He is a true dog lover and takes the time to understand your dog's needs (and quirks!) and clearly has experience dealing with all types of personalities. He has a great setup and an awesome fenced backyard that is perfect for exploring. I would 100% trust him to watch Stella again!
Alexa has been an incredibly reliable dog walker for Envy! Envy is always excited to see her, gets great photos, and some bonus snuggles. This was the first time Envy boarded with Alexa and she couldn't be happier! She was well taken care of and I was at ease knowing Envy was with happy company.

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.
94% of sitters in Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon.
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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Mount Vernon 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.
