“Christie and her entire family loved up on my French Bulldog and took exceptional care of him while I was away for over 2 weeks. Their non-carpeted floors were excellent on his belly after coming inside from the heat outside. I received regular updates with pictures which I gratefully devoured since I missed my pup so much. We were able to have a meet & greet before I booked to give me peace of mind he'd be well taken care of. In addition, I read all the fantastic reviews to help me feel better about leaving him for the first time! It was a good experience and I will book Christie again to watch my boy.”
“Hailey was able to watch my lil chunky boy on short notice and did the absolute most to show me that she was being well cared for as I was out to sea for work! BOOK WITH HER SHES AMAZING. Another perk when I got home he smelled of sweet vanilla and I was obsessed”

“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Maggie is a wonderful dog sitter! She takes great care of my furbaby and sends lots of updates. Maggie is very active, attentive and loving. Sadie comes home happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Priscila took such great care of George! She sent constant updates and photos. He loved playing with his new friend Dobby (her dog). We will definitely use Priscila again in the future!”
“Tiana took our sweet girl in VERY last minute and always responded quickly. She sent us lots of pictures and videos during the boarding. It seemed like Tinkerbell had an awesome time with Tiana😊”
“Shawn did an absolutely amazing job in boarding my cat Pumpkin, I always had constant updates with pictures and was informed of all things done in Pumpkins best interest I will 100% be boarding with him again!”
“Stacy was great with Milo and Snow! She took wonderful care of them and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Sherry watched our sweet chocolate lab for the first time. She sent several pictures daily and was very responsive. She really seems super genuine and you can tell she loves the dogs she takes care of. Thank you and your family for taking great care of Thor!”
“I was really happy to receive updates every day how my dog is acting and feeling. Thank you for that! I know my dog was not very happy that we left him behind, but Patricia took a great care of him, even though he woke her at 4.30 am. 🙈 Sorry about that.”
“Amber and Dane were great with our pup Bogey. We introduced her to their dogs and they got along great. Really nice dog accommodations and backyard space with covered area. They were flexible with pick up/drop off, even stayed up late when our flight was delayed so we could pick up. She was nice and tuckered out after a few days of playing. Will definitely use them again!”
“Heidi was easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates on our pup. Her home is clean and spacious with plenty of room for a dog to be comfortable. We hadn’t left our puppy anywhere since before the start of the COVID pandemic, so she was definitely a little out of sorts while we were gone, but she transitioned just fine when we brought her back home. We already have booked Heidi a second time when we will travel again. Thank you Heidi!”
“Leah was very friendly and took good care of my Daisy girl. She also took my booking request really last minute, lifesaver! My pooch came back relaxed and happy, and apparently didnt have any problems with the super friendly resident lab.”
“Michelle was an absolute dream sitter! Communication, updates and pictures were so consistent and brightened my day! She kept me posted on my pups health and all of his fun activities! He is often overwhelmed by other pups but her Zoey was so wonderful to hang out and play with my max. I could see how happy he was with Michelle and how well he was loved and cared for. 1000% recommend to everyone! I couldn’t ask for any better!!”
“SHE WAS AMAZING! Very accommodating and super helpful. This was our first time with the system and she was reassuring about anything we were unsure about. Our dog absolutely loved her time with her and was even helpful to us after we picked her up. We were traveling from out of state and she helped us find local areas to visit for food. Highly recommended, you won’t regret it!”
“We were very impressed with Jason. His daily communication while taking care of our sweet girl, left us feeling at ease about taking a long trip out of town. I think “Jane” had a wonderful vacation too! Daily updates with pictures made all the difference. Our dog left happy, content, and with a cleaner dog bed then when she was dropped off. Jason even sent her home with a Christmas present! We will definitely be using Jason’s dog services again. Thank you, Jason! ?”

Tiana was great and very professional! She took wonderful care of our beagle during his 4-night stay and sent us daily photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away.

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.
96% of sitters in Pungo 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 Pungo 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 Pungo.
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 Pungo. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Pungo 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.
