“Marcela and her family are the best pet sitters! I had to find a sitter for my hyper Shiba Inu puppy and kitty cat. Marcela sent me daily updates with pics, and Dolly and queen had a great time with Marcela and her family. If you need a sitter to trust your “fur babies” with, Marcela is your gal ???”
“I was concerned about leaving my dog with a sitter for anything more than a few days because he has issues with other dogs and can be a handful on walks. I was relieved to learn that Yolismal had experience with dogs like mine, and I felt that she understood my concerns. She sent me photos and updates, and I could tell that she took care to ensure he was well cared for. I loved that there is a yard and green space outside. I will absolutely use Yolismal again, She gave me the peace of mind I needed that my dog was going to be well-taken care of so I could enjoy my vacation.”
“Jona and Henry were absolutely fantastic with our puppy Mochi. I had provided a cheat sheet to help guide them regarding our puppy’s current schedule and temperament and Jona took the time to read it and ask questions. She provided amazing detailed updates and photos of not just our puppy but also his meals. We couldn’t have left Mochi in better hands and we will definitely be leaving him with Jona and Henry again in the future.”
“Melissa was fantastic! She made Cooper feel like he had a second home and family while I was out of town for a few days. I will definitely make Melissa my first choice next time I need to take a trip.”
“Rebeca & Roman are the best! They watch our two dogs, Sasha and Linx. Sasha and Linx used to get anxious when they would see us packing for a trip. Now they get excited knowing they get to visit their friends, Rebeca & Roman!”
“Our mini schnauzer doesn’t travel well so we had to find a place for her to stay for a few days, when we went on vacation. She is anxious and thanks to the pandemic is quite used to having us around so i wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be lonely. Lilly and her family made sure my pup was well taken care of. They took her in and treated her like family. Lilly asked all the right questions to understand how our dog was treated (allowed on furniture? Human food? How many walks? Etc) so that the dog felt at home. She responded quickly to my inquiries, particularly on the first day. She sent multiple pictures throughout the time to show me how Elsa was fitting in. Lilly was kind, understanding, patient snd an overall amazing dog sitter. Will definitely use her again if we have to go out of town and I highly recommend her!”
“1st time using this service and was extremely happy with the care Tamara provided. She was accommodating to a last minute booking and her communication was quick, responsive and thorough. I received multiple updates, pictures and videos. My puppy had a blast playing with her dogs and came home happy and exhausted.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Our second visit with Jennifer and it went well. Forest wasn’t timid of making himself at home right off the bat which says a lot. Great communication and punctual.”
“Pyro was so happy staying with Cadence! Cadence was great about sending us updates on how he was doing, we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away. We would definitely hire her to watch our pup again!”
“Cate and her family were amazing! They loved our dog like she was their own and she’s looking forward to spending more time with them next time. They did a great job and we would recommend them to anyone!”
“Paula is absolutely fantastic! I got the best photos and regular updates and Arlo looked so happy. She was so generous to accommodate a last-minute request. Arlo told me he's looking forward to his next stay with her :)”
“This was my pups first time staying with Mickey and friends and it was great! Mickey’s years of experience working with dogs and friendly demeanor with my pups, made me feel comfortable having them stay over. This was the first time in a while we were away from our pups so I was a bit anxious, but Mickey’s updates with pictures were very reassuring! Would definitely have him watch them again soon!”
“Stella absolutely loved staying with Sarah and her family. I received pictures and updates daily and was at total peace knowing my pup was having the best time while we were away. I will definitely be using Sarah again for any future dog sitting.”
“We have used Amanda and Charles countless times to board our Golden Retriever. They take such good care of her and she loves playing in their large yard. Amanda is extremely responsive and they are very accommodating to any last minute changes especially in the age of flight/travel delays. I highly recommend them!”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience having Elizabeth and William watch our pups! They were kind, attentive, and extremely flexible. Their whole family welcomed and loved our pups as their own; we will absolutely be using them again for our next trip!”
“Andrea and TJ were absolutely wonderful with Domino! They took great care of him for the whole weekend, and I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pohick
We had a wonderful experience with Yolismal and her family! From the very beginning, she was attentive and thoughtful, asking about Skye’s feeding schedule, walking routine, and any allergies to ensure she received the best care possible. Throughout the stay, Yolismal kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Skye was happy and in great hands. Yolismal is incredibly sweet and caring, and her daughters were just as wonderful in helping look after Skye. Her husband was also very welcoming, making us feel comfortable leaving Skye with their family. It truly felt like Skye was being cared for as part of their family. We are so grateful for their kindness, hospitality, and genuine love for animals. We highly recommend Yolismal and would absolutely trust her with Skye again!
Rosa and Daisy were treated with so much love, patience, and kindness, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and pictures that made being away so much easier. It’s clear how much Ada genuinely care about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and loving pet sitter. We are so grateful and will definitely book again!
Liz and her entire family are the most wonderful sitters! They cared for our King Charles Cavalier puppy for 3 weeks and were so thorough, thoughtful, and communicative. Our puppy had the best time ever and we are so grateful that we found Liz. We cannot recommend this family enough! Your dog will be very well cared for and have so much fun.
Marco was great! He took care of my little pup so well and was so flexible accommodating when my travel plans changed from what I had originally told him. He’s very responsive as well. Took him on lots of walks and I was so glad my pup had other dogs to play with.
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.

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 Pohick 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 Pohick 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 Pohick.
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 Pohick. 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 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 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.
