“David was very responsive during the booking process, and kept us very well-informed about our pup's stay with him with lots of pictures and messages. I would definitely book with him again.”
“Jona was very easy to work with and took amazing care of our best friend! We felt comfortable knowing Phoebe was in great hands. At our meet and greet, it took Phoebe less than a minute before she was curled up next to Jona asking for a belly rub. During Phoebe's stay, Jona kept us updated throughout the day letting us know Phoebe was happy and well cared for. Phoebe followed Jona around the house and to bed each night - proving how quickly they bonded. Phoebe takes medication twice a day and that was no problem for Jona. Phoebe requires a lot of attention and love and Jona gave her that and more. We will absolutely plan to book again with Jona. I am very happy and Phoebe was so happy!”
“What an awesome family that took in our pup just like he was theirs. We got sweet pictures and our pup was so happy when we picked him up. It was obvious that he had made a new pal with their dog, who was the most patient and gentle dog despite our high energy nippy puppy. We definitely forgot a few things at their place, but it's for the better because we will absolutely be using them again!”
“Miguelina and her family have watched my dog many times now. It is always so easy, great communication, and they always send pictures at the end of the day for overnight stays. I feel that my dog is safe when she is with Miguelina and her family!”
“I can’t say enough about Lily and her family! They took excellent care of Daphne - even though she was a challenge. They were patient and worked through Daphne’s needs…which was so appreciated. So many walks, lots of cuddling time, and their dog Lima was a great baby sitter too. Highly recommend Lily - it was such fantastic peace of mind to know Daphne was in a home vs a kennel.”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Erin and her family while they took care of my dog, Thor, for an entire week. They treated him with care and attention, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands while I was away as she kept me posted every day with pictures and telling me how it was going. They made the whole experience stress-free. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure Thor was well cared for. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Would definitely book with Kevin and Dakota again. My Newfie is really shy and skittish around other dogs. After his first day with Kevin and Dakota, he came out of his shell and and was hanging “with the boys”.”
“First time working with Stephanie and she was awesome! She was also very close by. I would definitely ask for Stephanie’s help as long as she’s available!!! Thank you Stephanie!!”
“Jennifer is such a kind soul and a great pick to watch my pup! She was super responsive and also gave updates while I was gone, leaving me at ease while I left my shy dog in her care. Her dog JJ was also super laid back and the perfect company for Fergie.”
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Vronnie...and, I'm so glad we did! My daughter and her dog felt right at home during our meet and greet. Her home and conversation was so warm that she felt like family. During her stay, Vronnie sent us pictures and a little write-up everyday, which my daughter loved. Her puppy looked like she was enjoying herself and the many walks that Vronnie took her on to get exercise. I'm glad we found Vronnie and have made her our permanent dogsitter.”
“Shanti took such great care of our dog and made him instantly feel part of the family! We loved the regular updates and could tell he was having a blast and getting absolutely spoiled. Our dog can’t wait to stay with her again! We cannot recommend her enough!”
“We really appreciated being able to do a trial overnight - Banks has been a bit sensitive with sitters in the past, so that meant a lot to us. Everything went smoothly, and it was clear he was well cared for. He came back happy and completely exhausted from all the play, which is always a great sign! Thanks again for working with us on the trial and taking such good care of our boy!”
“Fantastic experience overall! Heather did a great job taking care of our high-energy pitbull during our 8-day vacation. She kept us updated regularly, sent lots of pictures, and really helped put our minds at ease. Thank you so much, Heather!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and understand how important it is to give them proper attention, care, and exercise. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with dogs, and keeping them safe and happy. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. What makes me different from other sitters is that I truly care about each dog and treat them like family. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and routine. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experice also with baby and senior dogs, oas one of my was very sick and I needs to trear and give extra attention to. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. My work schedule doesn't interfere with anything, as I coordinate my schedules, and am for the most part at home all day. I have a big, large fenced backyard where they can run freely and play. Also a nice large deck for sunbathing. Plus any routine they may have
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pohick
David and family came to our rescue at the last second when our usual neighborhood walker/sitter took in a foster that wasn't quite ready to share its affections. We really lucked out because David's place couldn't have been a better setting for our Sadie. We got so many pictures (even a video!) during our time away that showed us what a great time Sadie had. She bonded with their sweet kids and dog....so much so that she didn't really react much when we came to pick her up. We will absolutely seek out David and family again!
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.
