“Our 9-year old mixed pug-shih szu female received the best care from Tamara during a recent long weekend trip. Tamara kept us updated on Diamond, with photos and even a funny video. We could tell Diamond had a great experience, too.”

“Erin was an incredible host for our dog, Coco!!! She went above and beyond in so many ways to make Coco feel at home, and kept me updated with photos and texts all along the way. While we were away we felt like Coco was having her own amazing vacation with all the walks, cuddles and special care Erin and her family gave her. Now they feel like her adopted family and we won’t hesitate to leave our dog with Erin again. Best Rover experience ever!”

“John and Joanna are wonderful, they kept me updated about how my pup was doing with lots of pictures. They are very knowledgeable about dachshunds and took great care of my boy.”

“Eun has been great with our dog. She constantly sends pictures, which keeps our minds at ease, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. Our dog always seems happy and comfortable with her, and her communication is excellent. We really appreciate how reliable and attentive she is, and we’d definitely book with her again.”

“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”


“Sheridan was wonderful with our cockapoo who loved all the walks and outings with Sheridan and her family. He had a tummy upset from a food transition and Sheridan was kind and knowledgeable on how to help him through it. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. In the end, I was worried he might not want to come back!”

“Tatiana was amazing! Oreo had a great week under her care. Tatiana sent me pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She has a very clean and pet friendly house. Thank you!”


“Richard and family took excellent care of our Daisy. It was her first stay with him and he sent us regular updates, photos and video. Was a huge reassurance that she was not only doing okay but playing and having an awesome time with Richard and his family. We will definitely book with him in the future!”

“Victoria is spectacular!! She has walked Ike for me a few times now prior to Ike’s first boarding with her. She has wonderful with his walks and absolutely amazing with him while he stayed with her for a few days! She is responsive and stays in touch daily and sends pictures as well. We were in a bind getting back home out of the country and Victoria went above and beyond to help us out by dropping Ike for us at our home as we made our way home from the airport since were going to get back later than planned. Thank you so much Victoria! I know when Ike is with her, I can rest easy and not worry about him.”

“Robert and Connie were amazing! They had Olly for 4 days and one morning and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I was a little nervous about trying Rover, but I’m so grateful for such a great experience. They were very accommodating and asked questions to ensure your dog is getting the best care. I was confident I was leaving Olly in great hands. I would absolutely ask Connie and Robert to watch Olly again the next time I go somewhere!”

“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”

“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”

“Susana took the best care of our dogs, TIbou and Brie, in her home while we were away for a week. She fed, walked, and loved them like her own. They also had a playmate in her dog, Milo. Walking them wasn't any easy task as it rained a lot, and the extra effort was much appreciated. We received lots of photos and messages about how our dogs were doing, so this helped us feel at ease during our trip. I really didn't worry at all. Thanks to Susana, we knew the dogs were looked after and loved.”


“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Philomont
Opi and Pia are usually so stressed and tired when they come home from boarding or hanging out with other dogs. That was not the case at all coming back from Kristen’s place. They were able to relax in her home either her senior pups as well. I wish we found her sooner!

Marsha and her husband Geary were fantastic dog sitters for our dog. We've booked with them twice so far and the experience has been really good. They are friendly and easy going and cared for our dog as if he was their own. Their flexibility with dropoffs and pickups is also super convenient. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

Lily had the best time during her stay with Marsha and Geary! They welcomed her like family, were attentive to her needs, and provided lots of love and play. We were grateful for daily updates with photos. It was evident at pick up how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely book again in future!

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 Philomont 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 Philomont 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 Philomont.
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 Philomont. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 Philomont 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.
