âRebeca is such a nice lady. Every day I receive photo or video from her of coco. It's been more than a day since coco came back home, and everything looks normal. I believe coco was well taken care of there!â
âMichelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates â she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally â she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area Iâd note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do⌠When I returned, Hukuâs (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that dayâ something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!â
âMary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if Iâm in need of a good dog sitter.â
âMarcela was great at taking care of my dog for an overnight stay. She is kind and you can tell she loves animals. She was very communicative and sent periodic updates. She also reached out when appropriate to ask questions so I knew she was concerned about my dogâs well-being. Overall, I felt comfortable with our experience and would book her again. Thanks Marcela!â
âNancy is amazing and caring. She took care of Doc and Daisy like they were her own. I had zero worries while they were in Nancyâs care! I highly recommend Nancy!â¤ď¸â
âJessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since weâve 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!â
âAnna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!â
âGarrett and Ana took great care of Tucker. They sent lots of pictures, which I appreciate it! He was so loved by their kids and Tucker came home happy.â
âSaroj was a wonderful and attentive sitter. She made sure that jampa was happy and comfortable at all times. she absolutely fell in love with Kaya, her beautiful Havanese pup. Saroj sent me daily photos and always responded to my questions. I am definitely returning!â
âJessie was absolutely amazing. If you need to leave your very loved pet for a trip, Jessie will take care of them like her own. Our Zinny was super happy with her stay and we will definitely use Jessie again soon!â
âThis 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!â
âMy first time using Vronnie. Duke came back exhausted! Plenty of pictures and updates received. Duke had bowel issues and she went above and beyond. I have already scheduled his next stay with Vronnie.â
âGustavo was very responsive and he helped take care of our 2 cats, one of which required insulin shots. He updated us regularly and addressed any concerns he had to make sure we are in the loop. We are grateful for his care!â
âThank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!â
âHighly Recommend! Youngri and her family took wonderful care of our senior dog. It was our first time leaving her with someone else for an extended period, but we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Youngri kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. She clearly understands dogs well and was very attentive to our dogâs needs. We felt completely comfortable and reassured the entire time. Thank you so much, Youngri!â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac Mills
I canât say enough good things about Michelle for taking care of my dog, Blue. From the first drop-off, I felt totally comfortable. Michelle was so warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the week, I got updates and photos that showed Blue was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and honestly like he had a little vacation too. Iâd definitely book again and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their fur babies.
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.
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!
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldnât 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! đžâ¤ď¸

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Potomac Mills can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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, 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 Potomac Mills.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 youâand 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
