“Bodie stayed with Phillip for two weeks while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. Being so far away from home, it gave me real peace of mind knowing Bodie was in great hands. Phillip regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I was able to see that Bodie was happy, comfortable, and doing well. Bodie especially enjoyed having the large backyard to roam around in. One of the things I appreciated most was that he wasn’t placed in a kennel like he had been with a previous boarder. I know having the freedom to relax in a home environment made him much more comfortable and helped reduce his anxiety. It’s not easy leaving your dog for two weeks, especially when you’re far away, but I never had to worry about whether Bodie was being well cared for. Phillip took great care of him, and I would absolutely trust him with Bodie again.”
“The experience with Sonja and Phil was absolutely amazing. They Communicate well and quickly! Enzo was loved on like their own. They even ordered and installed a broken buckle on his collar while we were gone! We will definitely be using them many times in the future 🙂”
“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication leading up to our stay. Jeleesa was amazing with my pup! My dog came home just as happy as when I left her- I highly recommend to anyone needed a “home away from home” for their animal!”
“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.”
“Audree is amazing. She watched my 4 month kid puppy. She did such a great job with him. We didn’t even miss a beat with his potty training. She is responsive, sends updates and pics. She is flexible with regards to the schedule. She’s the best!”
“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”
“Warren saved the day from the beginning! On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, my original dog sitter I had lined up stopped responding and I was on a major time crunch to leave for my trip. While scrolling through Rover, I saw Warren had confirmed availability for the weekend. I sent a message to Warren and within 10 minutes not only did I receive a response, he confirmed that he would be able to take my sweet pups. This was my first time ever taking them to a dog sitter, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Warren explained the process and really put my mind at ease. Through the stay, I received regular updates on how they were doing as well as photos. I cannot sing enough praises or thank Warren enough for saving the day. 10/10, will definitely be using him again!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job dog sitting Emma for me! Ashley was extremely professional and made sure to give me updates daily, including pictures of Emma. Ashley was happy to fulfill Emma’s daily routines as well as some extra care and attention. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Charlotte is still one amazing gal! She took great care of our older puppies on a weekend trip. She was very patient with their rambunctious behavior. She keeps us updated with pictures and texts, I trust her to care for our fur babies more than most family members! 😆 Thanks, again!”
About: I care deeply about the well-being, happiness, and comfort of every dog in my care. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe, loved, exercised and relaxed. You can enjoy worry-free care knowing your furry friend is in caring and attentive hands. I’ve owned pets my whole life and I’ve fostered dogs for the past 3 years. I work but I get up early enough to have ample time for morning routine of potty, feeding and playtime or walk. After work, it’s potty, feeding and playtime again with a walk. Your pet will have the freedom of the main floor until they have settled in. I have gates, play fences and crates if they are needed. Once comfortable, they are allowed upstairs (I had a few fosters that loved to hang out on my bed). I have a fenced yard for play and bathroom. I have multiple dog beds and lots of toys. I have my own small dog, who has never met a dog he didn’t like, and three cats.
“Seyla was extremely communicative during our puppy’s long stay with him. Every day we received multiple videos and photos, including her daily meals. He let us know how she was adjusting behaviorally and there were numerous activities for our extremely energetic puppy to get into. Her behavior has actually improved since she’s come home. Even our kids think so. Very grateful to Seyla and we will make sure she stays with him going forward! Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Camryn and her husband cared for my two cats while my husband is on vacation. They sent us updates and were flexible with drop off and pick up. They were accompanying to my cats needs and they were happy and healthy upon pick up. Definitely will be requesting their services again!”
“Heather did an awesome job watching our chocolate lab for a weekend. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would do it again in a heartbeat. She sent us numerous pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. This was our first experience with Rover and I would definitely recommend Heather if you need someone to watch your dog”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Ben & Ariel were absolutely wonderful with Mishka! We’ve used several sitters this year, and this was the first time she came home so clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely well loved. That alone means everything to us. They kept her active with plenty of walks, gave us terrific updates, and sent lots of photos so we always knew how she was doing. It was obvious they weren’t just watching her—they really cared for her and made her feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will 1000% book with Ben & Ariel again and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️🐾”
“Tina is a hidden jewel. She took good care of our fur baby on short notice. To make us feel at ease, she also provided daily updates along with pictures. I highly recommend Tina for her outstanding customer service.”
“I was worried about leaving my cat with a sitter for over 5 days, but Linaixa put my worries to rest. From the very start, she and her husband were very loving and patient with my cat. Sent me updates on Sweetie every day. I will definitely recommend Linaixa to watch your child.”
“Cher was excellent! After boarding my dog in a kennel and neither of us liking it, I wanted a place that felt more like home for my dog. Cher was quick to respond to my messages and we met before booking the boarding which helped both me and my dog feel more comfortable. Cher kept in touch with me every day that she had my dog and that put me more at ease while I was away. I know my pupper was well loved and entertained while staying with Cher and her family. And I know he loved it because he tried going back inside with her instead of coming home with me! I will definitely be using her again!”

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 Port Conway 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 Port Conway.
<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 Port Conway 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.
