“Frankie had the best time at Karen’s while I was in town for a wedding! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the night. This was Frankie’s first Rover experience and I can’t lie - I was nervous about his separation anxiety. When I picked him up in the morning it was clear that he felt so comfortable around her and that made me so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Our big poodle had an amazing time with Amethyst. She listened to all our concerns about his anxiety and she was extremely accommodating about keeping him comfortable. We feel like he is so safe and cared for with her and look forward to letting him stay with her in the future.”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“Tatiana has been excellent the two time that I sought her services. The last time was under very short notice, so it was immensely appreciated. She keeps you well l informed every day with photos and videos and is endearing to the pets. I highly recommend Tatiana and trust her with my pet.”
“Joanna and John are excellent. I never worry about my dog when she’s with them. Great backyard, plenty of play time and cuddle time. Even when Sandy is sassy, Joanna has great, patience and skill in dealing with all of Sandy’s moods. Joanna has a great ability to also train the dog and break dogs bad habits. Highly recommend them to anyone with a small dog!”
“Jennifer is the best! I have a (highly emotional) Great Dane who gets stressed when I leave but I can tell in every photo she sends how happy and spoiled he is! I feel so comfortable leaving him with Jennifer which is a great feeling to have.”
“Ninfa is amazing at taking care of Toffee. She always makes sure to keep us updated and sends us cute pictures throughout the boarding time. Toffee always has a great time at Ninfa's and is always excited to see her.”
“Everything about boarding our fur baby with Shiva was 5 star perfection. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up we knew we were in excellent hands. Our dog was relaxed and happy with Shiva and her other pups. It’s obvious that Shiva knows and loves dogs! Shiva’s house and yard are great for any dog to exercise and explore. Our dog was instantly at ease at her home and it’ was a pleasure to go away knowing our dog was in Shiva’s care. She provides excellent updates and photos at the end of every day so you can go to bed knowing your dog is happy and safe. Shiva was an excellent communicator. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Made my pup and I feel very comfortable about the whole experience. You can tell Carla has a lot of experience under her belt! She gave us plenty of updates during my pup's stay, and even gave some feedback/advice on how we can continue training him. Very well organized, I will be using Carla's services again for sure!”
“Keira took wonderful care of our dogs for three overnight stays! They were happy to get to know her and her dog Mokka. She took time to learn my dogs personalities and schedules. Highly recommend!”
“We are SO glad that we boarded Valentina with Erica and Kyle! They have the sweetest family and Valentina loved her time with them so much that she didn’t want to leave! She had tons of play time with their little dog and their children and lots of training time with Erica and Kyle. They also kept us updated with daily photos, videos, and texts. They are the best!”
“Musa took great care of our special needs geriatric pup The pictures he sent of Gizmo clearly showed a happy doggie being loved. Highly recommend Musa and will definitely request him again.”
“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.”

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.
Carla is the absolute best! She is my #1 All-star. Honestly, I have never felt so supported when it comes to the care of Geneva. She goes above and beyond and is always willing to help whenever she can. I am so blessed that I found her and her family🙌🏾 Geneva is very bonded to them and looks forward to staying with them. So very grateful.
Sherina has been an awesome dog sitter. She was sending updates everyday and our dog Leo was super happy going to her. Leo was very happy coming home and I could tell Leo was well taken care. I would leave Leo with Sherina in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Sherina for all your doggy care needs.
This was my first time using Rover! Michelle made this experience very easy and made us feel comfortable to leave our dog for the first time. She was very communicative and max seems to really love her! Definitely will use her again in the future! Great experience! Awesome job!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
