“This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them 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!”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“Jim was so great with our German shorthaired pointer! Otto is a high maintenance dog and Jim took amazing care of him. Otto felt right at home and got more than enough exercise everyday! You can tell Jim truly loves animals and enjoys the time he spends with pets.”
“Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.”
“Candace and her family were amazing. Brownie really enjoyed the backyard and most importantly all the rubs and cuddles. I got pictures and videos daily and really felt comfortable with the stay. Will absolutely use Candace again!!!”
“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”
“Saroj has been a wonderful caregiver to our cat and made him feel so comfortable and relaxed. She constantly sent us pictures and videos and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation and feel relieved that our precious fur baby was in good hands. Thank you for your graciousness Saroj, we truly appreciate it!”
“Tamara was wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!”

“We are so happy to have found Ada for our recent long weekend away! She took great care of our pup, Elsie, and sent pictures throughout the weekend so we knew she was happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend Ada.”
“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”
“This was our dog's first stay with Jona, and a long one (three weeks). She was a great communicator, sending regular updates and photos about all activities, as well as quickly responding to our questions. Nike clearly had a great time and was returned in great shape (an odd thing to say, perhaps, but bad things can happen in this business). We will definitely use her in the future.”
“This was our first time with Lilly and we loved her check-ins with pictures, her friendliness and obvious love for pups. We were able to relax on our vacation and will happily book with Lilly again!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
“We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac Mills
Camila and her family took amazing care of my dog, Juancho, while I was away for 6 days. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Every day, Camila sent me pictures and updates of Juancho smiling, relaxing, and getting plenty of belly rubs from the kids. It gave me so much peace of mind being able to see how happy and well taken care of he was while I was away. You can truly tell that Camila and her family genuinely love dogs and treated Juancho like part of their family. I’m extremely grateful for the care they gave him, and I will definitely book with Camila again whenever I need someone I can trust to take care of my dog. I highly recommend her and her family!
I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!
We had a great experience with Michael and Alaina and would absolutely book with them again! They have a beautiful, spacious home with a large fenced yard that gave our dogs plenty of room to run around and play. One of the highlights was that our dogs became great friends with their dog, Deji. They had so much fun playing together, and it was clear from the updates that everyone was getting along wonderfully. We also really appreciated the daily photos and videos they sent. Seeing our dogs happy, relaxed, and having a great time gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know they were safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

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 Potomac Mills 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 Potomac Mills.
<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 Potomac Mills 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.
