“We really appreciate your assistance during our family emergency. It is great to know your dog is safe and well cared for. Megan comes highly recommended. Thanks again. Jerome & Family”
“This was an emergency stay and we only had a couple of days to book with Erin. Thank you for your accommodation Erin and thank you for taking care of our boy. He loves to come to your house and we love that he loves it! See you next time! As long as you stay in the business, we will support your services!!!! We appreciate all you that do. It makes it easier for us to do all that we do!!!!”
“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!”
“Larissa did an amazing job keeping me updated and taking care of Henry! She sent great photos and let me know how he was doing throughout his stay. She has a great fenced backyard and her home was clean and comfortable, and she was so incredibly friendly and accommodating when I had to adjust my pickup time. I will definitely have her dog sit again!”
“Awesome! I absolutely hate leaving my Remy behind, especially when he has to be locked up in a kennel. I usually get such anxiety, but not with Eldeen, her husband Eugene and their kids. I was able to relax knowing that he was able to roam and play freely. Remy seemed pleased with his stay. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Yoda spent 10 days with Seyla, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She had such a great time that I’m pretty sure she thought she was on vacation. 😂 Seyla is an excellent animal caretaker, and you can immediately tell how much he genuinely loves animals. All of the animals in his care are incredibly well looked after—plenty of walks, good food, lots of attention, playtime, and fun. Staying at Seyla’s house is basically like going to a doggie resort! The dogs get to play, run around, swim, and just have the best time. One of the things I appreciated most was how communicative Seyla was. He sent me multiple videos of Yoda every single day, so even though I was away for 10 days, I felt like Yoda never really left me. I could see how happy, comfortable, and well cared for she was throughout her entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Seyla is also incredibly accommodating. My friend was supposed to pick Yoda up for me, but his flight was delayed by a day. I contacted Seyla, and he had no problem extending Yoda’s stay for an extra night. I would absolutely trust Seyla with Yoda again. Knowing that she is somewhere safe, loved, well cared for, and having the time of her life makes traveling so much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like one of his own. Yoda will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”
“Ligia provided outstanding, professional and technical service! She absolutely conducts herself with valuing customer service for both myself and my pet! She was flexible with changes to our agreement, constantly communicating, and even trained my dog on a new ‘trick’ in just 2-days! I highly recommend Ligia (as I am sure my per Koda does too) as she sets a high standard in dog boarding! Thank you Ligia!”
“Morgan went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my three dogs. Morgan made sure that the babies were happy and comfortable. I got lots of pictures throughout their stay which helped a lot with my anxiety. The dogs seemed to love their time there! Thank you Morgan!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“Tracey, is amazing with dogs and puts up with my active two year old Golden doodle. She is super flexible and is willing to work with you if you need to change your time for drop off or pick up. She is warm and loving and I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“She was super sweet and patient with my Fur Baby and me. I was behind schedule and she offered additional commendations to ensure my dog felt welcomed and at ease.”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“I loved loved loved loved this experience. This was my first experience boarding Blue so I was extremely nervous. I had reached out to someone else 2 weeks prior so I literally found Erwin the same day because I never heard from the other person and I’m so glad she never reached back out to me. He was so responsive and immediately set up a meet and great to meet with Blue. We went over and all went well. Blue has never been boarded before and he had dogs and cats so I was a put apprehensive. So Erwin suggested we give her a couple hours there just to see if she warms up, by the time I was on the way to get her food and water dishes she had warmed up to him and his wife and I had gotten 3 pictures. I got daily reports, pictures, and updates just so I knew she was comfortable and I felt comfortable and I really appreciated that. Blue was excited to see me but she also looked like she was home while she was with this family so I definitely feel confident saying I’m the future when I have any business trips or family vacations I know where Blue will be staying if they are available!!! If you are having and second thoughts please don’t, I feel they took care of Blue exactly as I would have and even went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable. I think Erwin’s wife even slept with her because she knew she was sad being away from me which is so comforting because although she’s a pit she’s a cuddle bug.”
“Jorge and his family took great care of our dog Mishka. They have a wonderful back yard for a dog to run around in, and they made our dog feel right at home. We'd be very happy to have her stay with them again!”
“Another amazing stay! Always very communicative, great updates, Mishka absolutely loves the family. Absolutely one of the best experiences we’ve had with Rover. Would 100% recommend.”
“Amanda and her family were amazing with Daisy! They loved on, and included her as if she were their own dog. I feel blessed to have found such a caring and kind Rover home for Daisy.”
“Martisa's service was incredible and we're willing to use her services in the near future. Very compassionate with Sandy. Great walks and having the social connection towards my dog. Kudos to Martisa”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,424 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Prim. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Prim 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 Prim 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 Prim.
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 Prim. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Prim 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.
