“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”
“Tetiana and her family does so well with our little buddy Milo it’s like he’s family to them. We really appreciate the attention to details and TLC she provides to him and the peace of mind she gives us while we are away!”
“Kristen was awesome with both my Irish Wolfhound puppy and his little sister a lab/pit bull mix. Plenty of time to run and play in the big areas. They both loved it.”
“Jaime and Mike are amazing! I truly can't say enough good things about my experience with them. My dog had such a great time with them and immediately felt right at home. Not only that, but they were extremely accommodating for drop off/pick up, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book them (over and over if I can!) and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for excellent care while you're away!”
“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”
“The only person we are 100% comfortable leaving our fur baby with when out of town. Our girl is shy and struggles with separation anxiety except when she is at Tara’s. She walks right in to her home just like she does at ours! Excellent communication and flexibility in scheduling when challenges arise.”
“John and Joanna are wonderful, they kept me updated about how my pup was doing with lots of pictures. They are very knowledgeable about dachshunds and took great care of my boy.”
“Maria was awesome with our senior dog. I had a last minute family crisis and she was available to care for Bandit. She was very caring and gentle with him. This relieved my anxiety during my trip. He was happy in her beautiful home and yard. I recommend her very much”
“6 stars!! I just started using Rover and can’t believe my great luck. Aastha was so incredible with my dog. She sent texts and videos and was so loving to my dog. She walked him on a regular schedule and of course has a fenced yard to run around in. Aside, from the great care, she and her family made me feel so welcome in their home. Her family is just so kind. I highly recommend Aastha for all your dog sitting needs!!!”
“Katherine was kind and helpful! Striker had a lovely stay with her and her family. She was super easy to coordinate with! I really enjoyed the pictures and updates about Striker during his stay.”
“Erica was fantastic! 🌟 This was our first time ever boarding our 3 1/2 year-old sheltie, so we weren’t sure how well he would do. We checked out two local kennels, and they were not a good fit for him as he was very scared. So we looked into dog sitters in a home environment. I met with Erica before the booking and she put my mind at ease. When we got him back he slept most of the rest of the day since he had so much fun playing with all the dogs! He was well cared for and we will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much ❤️ 🩵”
“This was our first time boarding our beloved Mila with Katerine and she had a great time with the other dogs. She loved the open space and looked very happy during her stay. Appreciate the pictures that were provided during her stay as well. We will be using Katherine for future stays.”
“Jessica took amazing care of my dog Ruby while I was traveling. She sent consistent updates every morning and evening, including details about Ruby’s walks, meals, bathroom habits, and mood. Ruby got long walks, backyard playtime, and lots of attention. When Ruby skipped a meal, Jessica monitored her closely and kept me fully informed until everything was normal again. Her communication was excellent and gave me total peace of mind. Ruby was happy, safe, and well‑cared for. I would absolutely book Jessica again.”
“Ashley was so lovely and my dog Cassie had the best time boarding with her and her family for a week whilst I was away. I think it definitely was a holiday for Cassie as much as it was for me :) Will definitely be using Ashley again for my next time away.”
“Candice was an excellent sitter for Ahsoka. They took to each other immediately and she sent me plenty of pictures. Ahsoka was very loved and I look forward to hiring Candice again.”
“I had my usual sitter cancel on me last minute and had to emergency book someone. I am usually very very nervous to leave my fur baby with anyone but Sudharani made things very comfortable for me. Not only did she schedule a meet and greet but she actually took my little dude for an hour or two to make sure he would acclimate to the house before we left him with her. He was staying with her during the forest fires and she made sure to minimize time outdoors to protect his lungs, and sent me tons of pictures. I will definitely be booking her services again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
“Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Maki and Joel and their family took great care of Ragnar. They treated him as part of the family and that really made me feel comfortable. I can’t thank and recommend them enough!”
“Barbara took amazing care of my anxious dog. She provided daily updates of how my dog was adjusting. Thankfully, my dog adjusted quickly and had a wonderful time playing with Dobby and the daycare dogs. I was only a little worried my dog wouldn't want to go home because Barbara took such great care of her.”

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 Rectortown 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 Rectortown 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 Rectortown.
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 Rectortown. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Rectortown 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.
