“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”
“Suzi always takes the best care of our baby… and she loves her as much as we do. Normally Penelope RUNS when we try to drop her off at a boarder or sitters but with Suzi she waltzes in like no big deal. Thank you Suzi! Our favorite sitter ever.”
“Brianna was super kind and patient w/ pup. He takes a long time to adjust to new environments and can be anxious, and there were some challenges but Brianna was always reassuring that it was ok and she handled it well. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and gave daily updates. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Angela is an excellent pet sitter! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to communicate with, highly flexible with scheduling, and deeply attentive to our puppy's needs. Leaving a young pup can be stressful, but Angela put our minds at ease by sending regular, reassuring updates and sweet photos throughout the stay. Angela is attentive to detail - she administered our puppy's eye drops perfectly and very efficiently. Our puppy came home happy and in great shape. Thank you so much, Angela!”
About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving extra attention to shy or anxious pets. I am home all day! Your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m happy to handle morning and midday walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, and last-minute requests. Because I’m home all day, I can watch your pet closely and give plenty of attention. I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.
“Musa was a great sitter for our kitten Dooly :) His pictures and updates kept us entertained and relieved while we were away from Dooly for the first time! We hope to book with Musa again in the future.”
“First extended stay away from our Frenchie and Sam was amazing!! He sent pictures and updates daily. We were at ease knowing that our boy was in good hands. Will use Sam’s service again.”
“Ruidi took wonderful care of my pitbull mix Sunny. She sent lots of nice pictures during the stay, and she took the time to cook yummy chicken and broccoli for Sunny to enjoy. Sunny usually eats dog food. So I'm sure this was a lovely vacation for her. Ruidi is a loving and caring dogsitter, and I would recommend her!”
“Han was great with Calla! She provided so many updates which I appreciated and loved. It helped ease my worries about Calla. Han also requested to meet Calla prior to drop to ensure it was a good fit, which gave me reason that Han knows how to handle dogs easily. I could not recommend Han more!”
“Alyse is wonderful with Nalu, and I can tell she takes great care of her. She seems like a happy pup after coming home! I always receive updates and photos from Alyse throughout the visits which is always appreciated 😊 thank you!”
“Victoria was amazing with our English Mastiff! She was super friendly, gave daily updates with pictures, and made our big guy feel right at home. It’s not easy finding someone great with giant breeds, but she exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.”
“Cindy is fantastic. She loves dogs and it's easy to see right away. She sends lots of pictures and it seems like I'm dropping my dog off at a dog park as she has a big back yard and the dogs lover to run and play”
“Carrie and Matt are spectacular! Our little pup is high energy and they had so many good experiences for her and maintained clear and regular communication. Highly Recommended.”
“My two sibling dogs so enjoyed staying with Hoa! As always, they got excited in the car knowing we were on our way. Hoa lets them run around and chase each other in her fenced back yard to their heart's content. Hoa provides toys, treats and interaction in a fun environment. Chewy and Reggie love "camp" at Hoa's house. I can travel in peace knowing they are safe and happy.”
“Na-young is an exceptional dog sitter. She kept my wife and I updated of our dog’s well-being every day. We felt relieved that Prada was cared for very well during her stay with Na-young. I highly recommend Na-young as a responsible, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Taylor and her family were wonderful with Yaara! He was welcomed into a warm, loving home and got plenty of cuddles, attention, and outdoor exercise. I received lots of updates and photos throughout my 3-day trip and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I would happily use Taylor again and highly recommend her!”
“Awesome dog hosts My Lab’s first experience away from home could not have been with a better family. We really appreciate the care and kindness that Carla and her husband and family provided.”
“Christine took good care of our dog for week. We were nervous because this was his first time staying with other dogs longer than a day. He came home happy and exhausted after a week of play. We received photos and videos throughout the week and he was packed up, ready to go at pickup- we appreciated that after a long day of travel.”
“Melissa is wonderful! She treated Linus like her own. We didn’t worry at all about him while we were gone for 2 weeks. She is a great communicator and loves dogs. Highly recommend! Thanks Melissa!”

I had a great experience with Jinghan! She took wonderful care of Momo and was very responsive throughout the stay. She kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m very happy with her care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Erika did a fantastic job watching Luna and Frida!! Highly responsive, accommodating, and made our pups feel completely at home. We loved receiving regular photo updates and text check-ins throughout the day, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs came home happy and well-rested. We will absolutely use their services in the future!"
We are very happy with the care that Cindy gave to our Daisy, she would send a lot of pictures and respond very quickly to my questions, Daisy seems to have enjoyed her stay with Cindy and her dogs too. over all we are very happy with her and definitely use her again in the future.
We cannot thank Na-young enough for taking such wonderful, loving care of Maddy! Maddy can be a bit of a picky eater, and Na-young was so patient and attentive with her throughout the stay. When Maddy wasn't eating much on one of the days, Na-young was completely transparent with me right away. She reached out to ask if there were any tips to get her to eat or if this was just typical behavior for Maddy sometimes. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing how closely Na-young was watching over her. She treated Maddy like absolute family—she and her husband were even sweet enough to let Maddy sleep in bed with them, which I know Maddy adored! If you're looking for a communicative, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I cannot recommend Na-young enough. Thank you!
Katie was a pleasure to have as our puppy’s first sitter. We were immediately put at ease after meeting Katie and knew she would treat our puppy as her own and provide lots of love and true care. Our puppy had her own vacation at Katie’s house and was very happy. We received many photos and updates throughout the day and appreciated the communication. We absolutely will use Katie in the future and highly recommended her, especially if it is your puppy’s first time away from home!
Yichen is amazing. She sent us photos & videos of our dogs, continuously stayed in communication (which means sooo much), and our dogs very much enjoyed the company of her dog, Ube. They received lots of play time and cuddles 🥰 If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further!! 💗

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 Oakton 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 Oakton 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 Oakton.
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 Oakton. 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 Oakton 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.
