“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“From the moment I met Kathryn and her family during the meet and greet for my two pups, I knew they were in the best hands. The warm and welcoming environment they provided instantly put me at ease, and I could see how much they genuinely cared for animals. Throughout the dog sitting services, Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through in everything she did. I am so pleased/grateful for Kathryn's exceptional care and will definitely be utilizing her services again. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone seeking a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Kathryn!”

“Ford was happy staying with Ligia, as happy as he could be staying a way from me. Ligia was very patient with his anxiety. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Megan was amazing! This was our first time having her board our dog and we were so impressed. She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday. We really felt like she welcomed our dog into her home and cared for him like he was her own. We will definitely be using Megan in the future and have already reccomended her to our friends and family.”

“From the first inquiry to pick up, Julie made me feel so comfortable. This was my first time boarding any pet so I was incredibly nervous and she eased all of my fears.

“Warren saved the day from the beginning! On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, my original dog sitter I had lined up stopped responding and I was on a major time crunch to leave for my trip. While scrolling through Rover, I saw Warren had confirmed availability for the weekend. I sent a message to Warren and within 10 minutes not only did I receive a response, he confirmed that he would be able to take my sweet pups. This was my first time ever taking them to a dog sitter, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Warren explained the process and really put my mind at ease. Through the stay, I received regular updates on how they were doing as well as photos. I cannot sing enough praises or thank Warren enough for saving the day. 10/10, will definitely be using him again!”
“Communication was fast and my dogs loved staying with Crystal! She sent photos and updates and answered any questions I had. I loved that she was willing to meet the dogs beforehand to see if they’d be ok with staying with her. I’ll definitely use her again when we go out of town.”
“Its rare- to feel totally comfortable at ease when leaving your fur babies with someone. I can say with certainty I have no c9ncern or worries about the care my girl will get when she stays with her. The love & care is top notch.”
“We were in a bind since the dog kennel was booked. River app came in handy to find someone to watch our dogs. Aside from watching two mini- doxies for a day and a half, our dogs benefited from being around new people and new environment to help them socialize more. At first I wasn’t sure how they would do in a strangers home but they seemed very entertained and taken care of. Tiffany sent us photo updates as well which was nice to get.”
“We really appreciate Jorge and his family for taking really good care of Gatsby! They spoiled him and made him feel like he was part of the family! We highly recommend this family to anyone who wants their dog to have a ball, and be loved on!”
“Stephanie and her family took care of Zeus like he was part of their family. We had a change of plans last minute and she was very accommodating. We were updated throughout the weekend with photos and Zeus came home extremely happy. I highly recommend booking with Stephanie!”
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!

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 Samuels Corner 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 Samuels Corner 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 Samuels Corner.
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 Samuels Corner. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Samuels Corner 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.
