“Amber was Fabulous with our pup🎉💐🎉!!!! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their habits and mannerisms. A true Dog Whisperer!!!! Her communication while boarding was excellent and she sent daily videos and pictures of our little guy. We will definitely use Amber in the future and I fully recommend her.”
“As always, thank you, thank you and thank you! Maya looked so happy in the photos you sent even the ones where she was being mischievous! Big girl Maya came home happy and tired. We never worry when Maya is in your care!!”
“Linda and her entire family cared for my Snoop as he was their own. This was my first time ever leaving him with anyone other than our own family (in 14 years), I am happy and appreciative that our experience was an awesome one. Photos, videos, and daily updates had been provided.”
“Great communication leading up to our stay. Jeleesa was amazing with my pup! My dog came home just as happy as when I left her- I highly recommend to anyone needed a “home away from home” for their animal!”
“We were gone for 3 days and got constant updates and pictures and videos. When we picked up our Dixie she was wore out from all the fun she had. Could not recommend more. Will continue to use Heather anytime we need to go out of town. Thank you for treating Dixie as your own!”
“Audree was an amazing sitter. My Kobe is a little older and has anxiety in new places but he felt right at home in Audree’s care. Im always nervous leaving him and she kept me updated. You can tell she cares for her clients. Will definitely book Audree again.”
“Whenever we travel, we never have to worry because we know our two dogs are actually getting a fun vacation of their own with Leslie. She provides the kind of unmatched care that gives you total peace of mind. In fact, during a recent get-together, a group of our friends started bragging about how great their pet sitters were. I listened for a bit, but then I decided it was time to shut the debate down. I pulled out my phone and shared some of the incredible updates and photos Leslie sends us while we're away. When everyone saw how happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved our pups are, the debate was over. They all agreed Leslie is the undisputed best. If you want the absolute highest standard of care for your pets, she is truly in a league of her own.”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Such a great experience! We felt like our dog was safe, happy and on his own little fun vacation playing with their dog! Lorena and her family are perfectly set up for a fun time for your pup! Very sweet people, you can definitely trust them! She even sent us updates and photos! The next time we are in that area we will be requesting her for sure! thanks Lorena!!!”
“Sarah was great! She sent updates consistently while watching Cranberry and took extra care of her when she randomly had a cyst pop during her stay. Would definitely book with Jacob and Sarah again.”
“Eldeen and her family were amazing. La La was comfortable and adjusted well. I don't think she wanted to come home just yet! I got photo updates during her stay. Her home is a warm and inviting environment. I will definitely use her services again. NVW”
“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”
“Sheridan took excellent care of Dexter, she took the time to meet and greet us before hand. She was in consistent communication and sent pictures. I feel very comfortable with leaving my dog with her.”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“This was our second time booking with Nathan, and once again he was wonderful! He’s friendly, a great communicator, and always makes us feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in such good hands. It’s clear he genuinely cares, and we always know Scout is well taken care of. We highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter and will definitely continue booking with him!”
“I can't express enough how thrilled my family and I are with the outstanding pet care services provided by Shelby for our beloved Corgi dog, Ziggy. From the moment we met Shelby, it was evident that she truly has a passion for animals and is committed to providing exceptional care. Shelby's dedication to Ziggy's well-being was exceptional, and he received ample attention and affection. Shelby quickly established a bond with Ziggy, making us feel at ease knowing he was in loving hands while we were away. Shelby made sure the dogs were comfortable together and she scheduled a meet and greet. Shelby demonstrated outstanding communication skills. She consistently maintained open communication and kept us updated on Ziggy's well-being with phtotos. We couldn't be happier with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible and reliable pet sitter.”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“This was the first time leaving our puppy with anybody. He is seven year old husky mix who has the all of the husky quirks but who is a very sweet dog. While with Jaime & Mike I saw that the whole family really looked after Max. During our time away they updated us with texts and pictures, and when we arrived to pick him up he was happily walking outside with Mike. He had a bed set up close to everyone so he wouldn’t feel alone. I would definitely leave him there again, you can tell they really like dogs and that makes a difference”

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 Richardsville 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 Richardsville 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 Richardsville.
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 Richardsville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Richardsville 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.
