“Rosco had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend stay with Kathryn and her family :) They took such great care of him, like he was one of their own. She communicated and sent pictures daily. Rosco always looked so comfy and cozy, he sure enjoyed his holiday vacation!”
“Rebecca was great with Dani. She sent me pictures of Dani daily. Rebecca has a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play and run around in. Dani loved being able to play with the other dogs. I will book Rebecca the next time I need doggie sitter.”
“River is always so excited to see them, and that tells me all I need to know! They take excellent care of River and treat him like family. I always feel confident leaving him with them and highly recommend their services.”
“Milu loved staying with Phillip. We could tell by the pictures and videos he shared with us that she was happy and comfortable. We would definitely booked with him again. 100% recommended.”
“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.”
“Communication was fast and my dogs loved staying with Crystal! She sent photos and updates and answered any questions I had. I loved that she was willing to meet the dogs beforehand to see if they’d be ok with staying with her. I’ll definitely use her again when we go out of town.”
“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”
“This was my 1st time using this service and I am very thankful for Aubree taking care of my pet. He has never stayed away from home with anyone. She made me feel very comfortable that my fur baby 'Buddy' was in good hands because I knew he would be a lil nervous. I love the way she communicates quickly, send pictures, and videos throughout their stay to let you know how everything is going. My puppy stayed for the weekend and I felt so relaxed that Buddy was in good hands. She definately makes your pets feel like home away from home. Buddy will definitely be returning for future visits. She is was awesome.”
“Linda and her family were great! I loved that she sent videos and pictures throughout the day. My Yorkie, Titan, was very happy and well taken care of during his stay. I would highly recommend using Linda and look forward to using her again in the future.”
“My dog stayed with Larissa for a week. She texted updates and sent pictures. She kept me informed about his daily habits and routine. I felt at ease knowing he was not only well taken care of but spoiled. I highly recommend Larissa for your pet’s stay.”
“Owen seemed to really enjoy spending time with Brianna’s goldendoodles. He was well cared for and got plenty of play time with some other goldendoodles. The photos I received radiated nothing but love. Thank you for caring for my dog.”
“Matisa was excellent! We had a last minute boarding request, and she was so flexible and responsive. She sent pictures within the first hour after dropping off our puppy, and continued to for the duration of the stay! She was kind, sweet, friendly, and always kept us up to date.”
“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”
“Jessica was great. My normal sitter couldn’t watch Benji for a last minute trip and Jessica was able to watch him. Booking with her was super easy. Jessica sent multiple pictures daily and provided updates through the visit. I could tell that she absolutely loved Benji and he enjoyed his visit. He didn’t want to leave.”
“Stephanie and her family took care of Zeus like he was part of their family. We had a change of plans last minute and she was very accommodating. We were updated throughout the weekend with photos and Zeus came home extremely happy. I highly recommend booking with Stephanie!”
“Marissa was wonderful with both our girls. We love knowing they are cared for in a loving home rather then a cage with no attention at a kennel. Luffy is the sweetest dog ever and the girls are excited to see there new friends again soon.”

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 Old Trap 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 Old Trap.
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.
You and your Old Trap 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.
