“Whitney was wonderful! She made our pups feel right at home and eased their sitter/ boarding anxiety by taking great care of them and sticking to their routine. She accommodated our last minute booking request and sent updates so our minds were completely at ease while our 2 large rescue dogs were in her care. I highly recommend Whitney to care for your pups!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Rosie seemed to feel right at home with Julie. She got lots of outdoor time and we appreciated the picture updates while away from our girl. Thank you for loving our girl while we were away!”
“Maria was wonderful with our dog and sent plenty of photos and updates. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but it couldn’t have been a better experience.”
“My dog Oreo was a little under the weather when the time came for his overnight, and Heather managed that easily. She took great care of him and kept me informed with snapshots showing how well he was doing. I was very happy about how this first time went and recommend Heather highly to other dogmoms.”
“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.”
“Chaoran was great with Ari from the 26th–1st. She was very communicative and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. I also had to extend the stay last minute, and she was super accommodating and adjusted the booking with no problem. Overall, a really positive experience and I’d definitely use her again.”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”
“Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!”
“Barry and Cheryl are so wonderful! They take fantastic care of Zoe! She’s a quirky senior pup who likes people on her terms. Barry and Cheryl are patient with her and give her time and space to be herself. After spending time with Barry and Cheryl, Zoe comes home relaxed and content. This was Zoe’s second stay with them. For future trips, Barry and Cheryl will be my first choice as sitters for Zoe!”
“Beth is always great with Marvel, she welcomes him into her home like her own. She sends pictures and videos so you know thier okay, even gave him a bath after the rain. she is also very understanding, my plane was delayed and I appreciate that so much because I hate to inconvenience others.”
“Beth was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated. She was clearly prepared and already had everything she needed to provide great care, which made boarding prep so easy and stress-free for us. Her yard is spacious and perfect for dogs to play safely. She even sent him home with the sweetest little thank-you gift. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”
“Tina is a hidden jewel. She took good care of our fur baby on short notice. To make us feel at ease, she also provided daily updates along with pictures. I highly recommend Tina for her outstanding customer service.”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“Reese our senior dog and Lulu our young big energetic pup both enjoyed their time with Courtney. She updated us with pictures and videos and they came back tired and happy! Would recommend!”

“Mike L. and his wife were absolutely Wonderful taking care of my pup last minute for a Holiday weekend. I can't recommend them enough! My pup had a caring and fun filled weekend with their family! Thank you again!”
About: We don’t have grandkids (yet), or a dog, or even a grand dog, so we thought, why not borrow yours? We’d love the opportunity to love and spoil your dog while you’re away! We had our own beloved dog, Chase, for 15 years, and he was truly part of our family. We still miss him, and we’ve discovered that one of the things we miss most is having a dog around the house. We’re not quite ready to make the commitment to having another dog of our own, but we realized we could get our dog fix by loving and spoiling yours! We both work full time, so our weekdays have dependable routings. We”re a caring, responsible couple who will treat your dog like family. We enjoy having a furry companion around, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. We’re happy to follow your routines, including feeding schedules, treats, medications, and all those little things that make your dog feel at home.We have a great neighbor for either long or short walks. We do have a couple of requirements because we want everyone to be safe and comfortable. We’re looking for dogs who walk nicely on a leash without pulling too much and who don’t jump on people. We’re happy to give your pup plenty of love, we just prefer that our walks don’t turn into an Olympic event! Our goal is simple: you get to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being loved, and we get to enjoy having a temporary granddog. It sounds like a pretty good arrangement to us! ❤️ If your pup 🐶 is friendly, well mannered, and looking for a loving home away from home, we’d love to meet them. We both work full time but we’re home in the mornings and evenings, and we’re home all day on the weekends. Our adult so. Also lives with us and is sometimes home during the day, although his schedule varies from day to day and week to week. When he is home, he’s a responsible adult who enjoys dogs and is happy to give your pup a little extra company. Most importantly, your dog will have a consistent routine with us, along with plenty of love and attention, walks, and snuggles when we’re home. When your dog stays with us, they’re like part of the family, not just a guest! We want them to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home, so we’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including meals, treats, walks, and any special instructions you provide. There will be plenty of affection, attention, playtime, and of course a few extra belly rubs if they’re willing to accept them! We’ll give your pup the same patience and care we would want someone to have given our Chase when he was with us. Our goal is for your dog to have a wonderful stay!

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.
97% of sitters in Rixeyville 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 Rixeyville home-away-from-home, 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 Rixeyville.
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.
You and your Rixeyville 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 , 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 .
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.
