“Could not recommend Emmanuel enough! He and his family were absolutely incredible with our special needs girl who is anything but low maintenance. He provided daily updates, pictures, and the very best care possible. I have no doubt Taffy had a wonderful stay! HUGE thank you to Emmanuel for the peace of mind during our trip!”

“Would definitely book with Kevin and Dakota again. My Newfie is really shy and skittish around other dogs. After his first day with Kevin and Dakota, he came out of his shell and and was hanging “with the boys”.”

“Paula watched my Oso for 9 days & I could not have asked for anyone better. We did an initial meet & greet with her two dogs who were friendly and playful. Paula followed all instructions: feedings, meds, leashes etc. she was very communicative keeping me up to date with multiple photos a day and tracking of their walks. Just above and beyond care! Super happy with the care given & cannot recommend her enough! 🐾💛”

They were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free for me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog, and I would absolutely leave Domino with them again! 🐶❤️”

“Brian was great. He sent pictures a couple times a day. Tank seemed relaxed throughout his time with Brian and the home was great and easily supported my 120 lbs Berner. Tank seemed to enjoy the company as Brian works from home and pictures indicated that he would hang out in the office. Bob, Brian's dog was relatively indifferent to Tank during the meet and greet. Brian reported no problems between to the 2 of them, and I witnessed no negative interaction. Tank while happy we were back, exhibited no signs of stress from his stay. I am so glad to have a place to leave him and know he will be well taken care of.”

“I was really nervous because this was the first time I had someone else watch Cooper, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They let me walk around the house, answered all my questions beforehand, and even little things like having rugs on the hardwood made me feel better about him being there. She was very communicative the whole time and sent a bunch of pictures and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she and her husband truly care and make the pets they watch feel like part of their family. Cooper seemed to settle in well and came home happy. I’d absolutely book with them again.”

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.

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!

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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon.

<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 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 , 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.
