“Carlos took fantastic care of our dog Eddie! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Eddie's stay and also took Eddie on several walks a day. He really took great care of Eddie and it was really the best Rover stay Eddie has had yet! I could tell Eddie had a great time going on walks, playing with Carlos's dogs and I will definitely have Carlos watch him again in the future!”
“My two cockapoos had the best time with Ada over a long holiday weekend! I really appreciated her flexibility when my travel plans changed a little and our flight got delayed. The doggies were always so happy in the photos she sent and they were super tired when they got home.”
“This was a short boarding experience of only 2 nights but everything went well. Our dog came back happy and healthy and we were happy with the updates and pictures. It felt nice to leave him with a friendly happy family.”
“Elizabeth and her family were great with my husky. They were flexible with my situation and ensured my dog was in a comfortable place. They took him to the dog park and treated him as part of their own family. Will definitely be using them again.”
“Ann & Richard were wonderful! Scout had a great time in their beautiful home and loved running in their big backyard! She will definitely be back when we head on our next vacation, thank you again!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Stacy and her family! They got plenty of attention and were very well taken care of. We appreciated the updates that let us know how they were getting along. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands.”
“We love Telma! We can tell that our dog had a fantastic time with Telma. She also always sends us photos and is very communicative. We will definitely return for Telma’s service. Thank You once again!”
“Absolutely outstanding stay! My dog had a fantastic week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They were attentive, caring, communicative, and clearly made my dog feel right at home. I received so many welcomed updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me complete peace of mind and showed my pup thriving. I highly recommend Erin’s pet services! Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. It’s obvious she was treated like part of the family. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Youngri was amazing. I felt completely at ease throughout the night, knowing that my senior dog was in good hands. It’s clear that she and her family have a genuine love and care for animals. She kept me updated on how my 16-year-old pup was doing and maintained a high level of professionalism at all times. I will definitely work with her again.”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Cadence was everything I could have asked for. It was pups my first boarding experience. She communicated clearly at every step, sent daily photos and took very good care of Murphy. I think he's even missing his vacation home. Highly recommend using Cadence!”
“Jennifer, Li and JJ were absolutely amazing! Odis loved them so much! Jennifer saved us for our weekend away as our original sitter had to cancel unfortunately. She was responsive, kind, professional and funny! I knew the second I met her and Li that Odis would be in great hands. JJ is so, so sweet and after meeting him, I knew Odis would get along with him and learn a thing or two! Lol. Thank you, Jennifer and Li for all your help! We look forward to bringing Odis back in the future! 💕”
About: Former doggy daycare, boarding and grooming owner. Trustworthy, always excited to exercise the pups. My coworkers include 2 year old golden (Finn) and 15 year old son. Getting out with Finn after work and on weekends brings me joy so I’d like to bring that same joy to other pups. Having a teenage son in an highly expensive sport and needing a car, I’ve decided to get back to walking and dog sitting: I walk daily with my Finn and want to provide the same walks to others that need it. Available everyday. Generally don’t walk after sunset but depending the lighting and area I could make an exception. I have a home with a large yard in Lorton across from trails and parks. The yard is fenced in everywhere but at the end of driveway.
“I do not have enough kind words to share about Cheryl and Gustavo. I was out of the country for 3 weeks and very anxious about who would watch my dogter while I was away. I've had some pretty negative experiences on Rover before and had a bit of anxiety about leaving her for such a long time. When I met Cheryl and Gustavo, my anxiety was immediately calmed. They are such warm, caring, and kind people. I received daily pictures of my dog playing, cuddling, walking, and looking right at home with Cheryl and Gustavo's family. She even made a good friend in their dog as well. They are the absolute best and highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs. They treated Toots like their own and I know she is going to be so excited to be with them when we rebook for her next stay. 5/5 stars - trust me when I say THIS the family you want your fur baby to be with. Thank you immensely, Cheryl and Gustavo!!”
“Cora is always excited to stay with Shanti and gets along so well with the whole family. My return flight was delayed way past my expectations and she was really sweet about allowing cora to stay even though it meant arriving til late in the evening. She's been my first pick sitter since we moved to the area.”
“This was the second time we left Bailey with Heather and he practically ripped my arm off racing from the car to her front door, which is exactly what we wanted. It is important to us that Bailey is excited to visit and feels comfortable when we're away and Heather provides that and more. Heather boarded more than Bailey this particular weekend and she took such great care to make sure he didn't get too worn out playing and had time away from the other pups to rest. We just love the care she provides!”
“Our dogs were in good hands with Dan! He sent daily updates and was extremely responsive. He really cares about the dogs he boards and we will absolutely use his services again!”
“Our dog had a great time at Michelle’s. He got a lot of great play and attention. It was easy to see that he was happy and felt at home there. We’ll definitely seek out Michelle for a future visit!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pohick
Leaving a newly adopted pup with major anxiety is so stressful, but finding Liz, Will, and their family was such a blessing. I had to travel for nearly a month and a half, and they stepped right up to love and care for Kona unconditionally. They totally understood his special needs and showed him so much patience. Getting regular updates, photos, and videos was a total lifesaver and let me travel without constantly worrying. Kona wasn’t just staying there—he was treated like family. I’m so grateful for everything they did for him!
This was our 4th time booking with Kimberly, and once again, we had a great experience! Yomi was recovering from some stomach problems before her stay, but I trusted Kimberly to take good care of her. Yomi came home happy and healthy, which gave me such peace of mind. We truly appreciate Kimberly’s great care! We will definitely be booking with her again!
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Fabiana! She was incredibly communicative, always responded promptly, and kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was happy, well cared for, and in good hands. We truly appreciated how attentive and reliable she was throughout our time away. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
Marcela was an amazing sitter for my senior dog, Coco, on all of the occasions that we booked with her! She was super accommodating and did a fantastic job with taking care of Coco and making sure he ate his medications and sticking to his diet. I can tell that Coco is really comfortable with Marcela and has a fun time when he is over!

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 Pohick 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 Pohick.
<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 Pohick 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.
