“Emmanuel was a superb caretaker for my senior pup with vertebral pain. I am grateful for the care he gave Ferby, especially on short notice, so that I could return to work at school. Ferby had a great day in his care!”
“Laia was Riley’s first sitter through Rover. He was very anxious when he arrived at her house but she was so patient with him. She kept me updated sharing that he was settling in (and sent a photo) and by the end of his visit she said he had been great.”
“Last minute booking as we are from out of town. Jenny was great with communicating before and during the sitting. Dogs came home happy and tired (which is what we needed)!”
“Garrett, Ana and their children were wonderful with Piper. They treated Piper like a member of their family. I would definitely recommend and call on them again.”
“Katie is a stellar sitter and her youngsters and pup are all absolutely adorable! Katie was very attentive to my pup, Major, and very communicative with me. Major seemed surprisingly at ease exploring their house when he first arrived, and by Day 2, dropoff was already a breeze. I greatly appreciate Katie's flexibility with drop-off and pickup times, and I LOVED the card she left for us in Major's backpack - what a delightful touch! The neighborhood is of course exceptionally safe, which is always reassuring when leaving even fur babies with someone new all day.”
“Helen was a great find! She is so sweet and patient. By the 3rd drop off our pup was so excited to see her he was jumping out of the car. We were very lucky to find her! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”
About: I've had a pet most of my life. Missy was my first cat but I've had 5 since her. Cats typically love me even the shy ones. Max was my first dog but I've lived with or owned 5. I even owned a hamster named Ralphie when I was a young adult. Recently, my family lost our 14 year old Yorkie Duncan. We now open our home to boarding and daycare we and a CA wood turtle. I walk, love on, feed, and have bathed all my pets. After owning a service based business for over a decade I closed it in 2023 to pursue other businesses with more flexibility and less stress. I work and volunteer outside the home about 5-6 days a week but have a lot of flexibility. I specialize in caring for your pet while you’re away on vacation for a weekend, a of couple weeks, or just a day or evening out on the town. I love animals and I feel it's one of my passions to take care of them because they take care of us. I make sure your keys are in a safe place and unmarked. I prefer lock boxes at your home so they are kept safely onsite. I don’t give codes to anyone and I don’t bring other people or pets in your home on my visits.
About: I have grown up having reptiles, dogs and cats. I have volunteered for rescue organizations for the last 5 years. I love giving back to all animals and spending time with them. I have a keen sense of animal behavior and energy where I can read and address any situations. I have been around a variety of breeds of cats and dogs and high energy to low energy animals. If I’m going to spend time outdoors getting exercise why not bring an animal with me and kill two birds with one stone. I love and respect all animals with no judgments. I treat animals as if they were my own and go above and beyond for them. I almost love animals more than humans. A Little.
“Matthew is absolutely amazing!! He is very attentive, fun loving and truly cares for your doggo. Matthew also communicates frequently with updates and pictures which always 1. Gives you the best, cutest photos 2. Puts your mind at ease and 3. Hypes you up when it's time to go get them! 🩷 Kona seems to especially love his big backyard and variety of lounging space :) he always comes back home tired after having so much fun. Matthew treats him like family!”
About: Hello I'm a fellow dog owner. My Charlie is a 30 pound sheltie mix and gets along with everyone. He's super friendly so he'll get along with your dog. I work from home two days out of the week and I'm available on weekends for doggy daycare where they'll play in the backyard, get walks, I'll make sure they eat, and get enough water. I can do over night any day of the week as well. The days I work from home are Tuesdays and Fridays. If you have questions please feel free to ask. I'm very accommodating but obviously I do have concerns. I have two crates and two beds on my own they can used so you don't have to bring your own.
About: Hi! I grew up with family dogs. I always love caring for them and taking them on long walks. I rescued my dog Reagan. She is a 10 year old medium-sized friendly high-energy dog that would love a housemate to spend time and play with. I live in a house with a dog door and a fenced in yard. I am also able to take the dogs out on frequent walks easily. I also have a lot of green space near my place, to include the Mount Vernon Trail and Jones Point Park. When boarding, I will primarily be home with the dogs. Boarding pick-ups after 3pm will incur a daycare fee of $30. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your pup! I work from home full time and have flexibility with my daytime work schedule if the dog needs frequent walks or play through the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and have really all the freedom to roam as they please. I also have a dog door so they can go outside as they like. But I can also easily let them out and monitor them if they do not care for a dog door.
About: I have had animals in my care my entire life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and birds. Caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me because I truly love them and treat them as part of the family. All the pets I’ve cared for have been happy, well-loved, and safe. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, or simply giving them affection and comfort, I always make sure they feel secure and cared for. Your pet will be treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I maintain a flexible and organized schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet in my care. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, ensuring consistency with feeding times, walks, exercise, and rest. I am reliable, punctual, and committed to following each pet’s specific routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet. I am located near a large field and a park, which allows me to offer regular walks, outdoor exercise, and stimulating activities in a safe setting. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and special care requirements. I am attentive to pets’ behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being during walks and playtime.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
My senior pup had such a great daycare day with Emmanuel, he came home tired, happy, and completely content. Emmanuel even sent me photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. We’re now looking forward to the upcoming longer stay and feel very comfortable knowing he’ll be in good hands. Highly recommended!
Finn had a wonderful day and was well cared for in every way. The communication and entire process was seamless and very positive. Ana and Garrett and their family provided us a great service by watching Finn. We were able to enjoy the entire day at Mount Vernon knowing he was well cared for and his every need was met. Thank you both so much for the gift of time and your attention to detail. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mount Vernon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
