“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Wanda stayed with him and his family for the weekend, and we had a wonderful experience! She came home happy and clearly very well cared for. He also sent us updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend him and will definitely contact him again whenever we need a sitter and he is available!”
“Erin was great with Scout! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures of him while we were at my brothers wedding at The View at Bluemont! It was nice to know he was loved and got plenty of attention while we were away for weekend. I am sure he will miss them!”
“Tamara was prompt and easy to communicate. We definitely loved the pick up/drop off she offers so generously. Our pup came back happy and cheerful. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Chris watched my dog, Francine while I was away and I can’t recommend him enough. He and his mom treated her like she was their own and provided daily updates and photos throughout her stay. It was a great experience and the most comfortable I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone else. If you need a trustworthy pet sitter, your dog will be in great hands with Chris.”
“This was pups first away adventure from us & she is 8. Cindy did a phenomenal job giving me daily update with pictures of how Harley was doing. She was patient with me when I had questions before the booking. Thank you!!”
“Our babies absolutely love Lori! Max and Sas were taken care of in a loving environment and were treated so well?. We were a bit apprehensive to leave our fur babies with anyone but we were in a bit of a bind ( holidays). We had never used Rover and had just moved to Va from Nevada. We talked to Lori and asked a ton of questions. Like who would be around them, how often they would be let out to go potty, etc… after a few text and a few phone calls we felt she would be a perfect fit for our pups! We were so happy we made the decision to go with her! Our boys absolutely love her and love staying over night! After the first stay we went back for a quick visit just to say hello…They were both in a hurry to get out of the car (tails wagging) this made us so very happy to see they were happy to see her. We will definitely use her every time for boarding or anything she has to offer like dog sitting all of our babies. Thank you Lori for sending pics through out their stay and for being so amazing with our pups??. We appreciate you and the great care you took of Max and Sas! See you soon again!”
“Rover had a great time with his new found friend Butcher. Tara was great at sending daily updates and being accommodating when our flight got delayed. She has a very big fenced backyard for the dogs to play. Rover will be back whenever we are out of town again. Thanks!”
“Katherine did a great job with our shy dog. Katherine gave Ginger plenty of space and she gradually introduced Ginger to the rest of the dogs to create a smooth transition. I’m very pleased to have found Katherine and I’ll be calling on Katherine again when the need arises.”
“JT and Janelle took the cutest pictures of my 2 dogs! I felt so much peace knowing they were in safe and secure hands with years of professional dog expertise to keep them happy and healthy. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Anahita was so kind and sweet - was flexible and saved me in a pinch when I needed a place last minute for my sweet girl to stay. She gave me picture updates, always responding promptly and was very kind and polite! Book her she is amazing!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Murphy and Mazi. She kept me updated with pictures, handled their medications carefully, and clearly treated them like part of the family. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was with my schedule, including extending their stay by an extra day when my plans changed. I would absolutely trust Sarah with them again.”
“Haejin and Herscel were amazing with my elderly dog and made me feel so much more comfortable while being away from him. The provided detailed updates and you can tell they really care. Highly recommend!”
“Alexsys has boarded my dog twice for multiple days. My dog is a rescue and can be very shy and skittish, but she has been comfortable and happy in the care of Alexsys. Highly recommend her pet care services.”
“Tetiana took care of our dog Lindsey for 9 days while we were on vacation, and she did a fantastic job! She sent us multiple photos of Lindsey every day along with text messages letting us know how she was doing. She followed instructions meticulously and kept us well informed of Lindsey's status each day. Tetiana will be the first sitter I contact when we need to use Rover again. She is an awesome pet sitter!”
“Our sweet girl is so well loved and cared for during her stays with Kristen and team. The peace of mind that she is safe and having a blast with other dogs allows us to enjoy our time away. Thank you!”
“Jaclyn had all of her ducks in a row. My first time sitting with her and she answered all of my questions and asked really good questions of her own. I was comfortable that she has planned how to safely and comfortably keep new dogs at her house. Even if they’re of the nervous type like mine. She also kept me updated daily with messages and photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Jaclyn, for taking such great care of Bini.”
“Kelly took excellent care of our 1 year old golden doodle pup!! She kept me up to date on how she was doing and sent cute pics which made me feel great knowing she was settled and enjoying herself while I was away. Would highly recommend!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rippon 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 Rippon.
<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 Rippon 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 WV 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.
