“My dogs are happy to stay at Karen's. She is great at playing with them, walking them, and snuggling them. She is easy to communicate with, and she sends lots of pictures so you know everyone is doing great all the time.”
“We were so lucky to have Chachoo with Carl. He was wonderful with our dog, took him on walks and dog park adventures, spent time with him, and paid attention to what Chachoo liked. Carl communicated promptly, sent frequent updates and photos of our happy dog, and was flexible with our schedule. We highly recommend him!”
“This was the second time we used John and his wife Joanna and they were wonderful once again. Our pups can be nervous when they’re away from home but I could tell they recognized their home (and kids) and felt comfortable there, which made it easier to leave them. They communicate and send pictures/updates every day, and when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well they let us know right away and were willing to stay up at night with him to make sure he was okay. They even checked up on him after he was back home. Just lovely!”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Lisa is the best! Our little guy stayed with Lisa for 10 days -- she spoiled him with lots of walks and belly rubs. Lisa keeps you updated throughout the visit which allows you to rest easy that your fur baby is happy and healthy.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Ron. He took such great care of our dog, sending multiple pictures each day. It was very clear that our pup was well cared for and loved while we were away. Thank you Ron!”
“Couldn’t ask for more! A few days before our trip I found out that my dogsitter is not available. Danny responded to my request very fast, we had a “meet & great”, and everything went very smoothly. My little six-month-old puppy was very happy on the day he come back home. Danny sent me a few photos and text every day. I felt so comfortable leaving my baby, Kairo, with him and I strongly recommend him.”
“Wonderful experience. Felt instantly at ease in our conversations leading up to me dropping my ‘only son’ off! Covey was excited and well looked after. Apparently even spoiled with bits of turkey - which Angela was professional and kind enough to enquire about before she gave it to him. I would definitely recommend her and you will get lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She is polite, calm and has an obvious love for dogs and that is what we needed and what we got. Very grateful for her.”
“Pluto had a wonderful time with Lauren and her kids. Lauren has a beautiful fenced backyard it’s just a pleasure for pets to run around. Lauren took pluto for morning and evening walks, regularly sent me videos and photos of pluto . Lauren took care of every detail requested for pluto. Would definitely love to board pluto again. Thanks Lauren and family.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are fantastic pet sitters. They treated our Huskey like family and she loved her stay. I would definitely rebook! Thanks-for taking such good care of our Lily.”
“Peter took excellent care of our pup. He sent great photos, and it’s clear that Donny feels exceptionally comfortable around him. Drop off and pickup were easy. We will definitely be entrusting Donny’s care to Peter again. Thank you!!”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“This is our second time leaving our furbaby, Peach, with Poornima and she did a wonderful job looking after her! Poornima sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Her dog, Arjun (also lovingly known as Joe!!), is very sweet and the best pup friend Peach could ask for. We highly recommend Poornima as she is an amazing and attentive sitter!!!”
“Blanca was an amazing sitter. She helped me out in a pinch with a last minute, kept me updated during my little guys stay, and showed him lots of love. I would definitely recommend her to folks on this platform!”
“Jeannette took good care of LuLu during the stay, and sent multiple pictures updates. I will definitely recommend and will book again if I need a sitter in the future! Thanks again Jeannette!”
“Nawarat did an amazing job with Hazel. Hazel is an anxious dog but she warmed up to them very quickly. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of her which is very appreciated!”

My dog Gracie came back relaxed and healthy after her four-day stay with Kiran. Kiran kept me updated on how Gracie was doing while I was away and gave me lots of details about how she did during her stay with him. I recommend Kiran and would certainly trust him with the care of my beloved dog again.
We just left our 1-year old, nervous nellie, Daisy, with Karen for the first time away from home. She boarded for 4 nights. Karen was terrific about keeping us informed through photos and messaging. We knew Daisy was in good hands, with someone who could help an anxious pup survive separation. We will be travelling again the beginning of December, and already booked Karen to watch our Daisy during that time. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby, Karen😊
Alicia and Joseph did a great job taking care of our dog. They responded quickly to texts and we received daily updates/photos. They were careful to follow our care instructions. I feel lucky that we found them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again next time we need a sitter.
Noelle took wonderful care of my reactive pup, Mocha. She shared picture and video updates throughout her stay, which showed Mocha having a great time. Mocha is nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Noelle and was clearly comfortable. We look forward to future visits!
Lauren is a great sitter. My dog felt at home at her place. Her dog lulu is such a gentle dog. I got updates on daily basis. They followed all his schedules. He stayed with them for 7 days. And my dog has not picked any bad habits. I am grateful she was available during this time.

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 Reston 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 Reston 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 Reston.
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 Reston. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Reston 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.
