“This was our puppy’s second time staying overnight with Rachel and Jason, and we couldn’t be happier. They send pictures and updates, which brings us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They give him so much love, and it’s clear he has the best time with them. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend them enough!”

“Was extremely happy with the week Our pup developed some separation anxiety while we were gone Charlie went above and beyond to make sure Cai was comfortable including sleeping on the couch next to him so he wasnt alone or scared Constant communication and pictures daily Highly recommend was a great experience all the way around!!!”
“Donna and Scott’s care was exceptional and they definitely went above and beyond to make Ziggy feel at home. It was very stressful when we realized the family that usually watches him couldn’t take care of him. The thought of boarding him was upsetting and doing so would have ruined our vacation. Our vacation was great and Donna and Scott sent many pictures that really contributed to its success. Very caring people. We couldn’t be any happier.”

“Walter and his wife were an absolute delight. The took excellent care of my senior Shih Tzu, Evie, over the holiday weekend. The moment I pulled up to their home I felt completely at ease. Their children were excellent with Evie and they had a beautiful and secure yard for Evie to enjoy. They were excellent at communicating and responding to messages. I truly appreciated that throughout the weekend they sent messages and photos to let us know Evie was doing well. Honestly, it was a huge relief to know that Evie was in excellent and capable hands. I highly recommend Walter and his family to anyone looking for someone to watch over their pet.”
“This was our first time looking for dog sitter and we couldn’t be more happy to have found Lily! She is truly a dog whisperer and a blessing in disguise! We fell in love with Lily and her sweet dog Ted. It was Winston’s first time having a playmate and they bonded instantly. It was adorable to see their social interaction. Lily has the perfect home and back yard for Ted and Winston to play and run. When we left Winston for the first time, he didn’t even look back to say goodbye to us. Lily was so responsive when we reached out to her and she took the time each day to send a picture and a status on Winston. Lily gave us the peace of mind we needed while on our family vacation. When we brought Winston back home, he was super sad. We believe he misses Lily and Ted. We highly recommend Lily!!! She has a warm and natural way of welcoming you! You will love her and Ted!!!”
“I cannot thank Michelle and her family enough for watching Bella multiple times! Michelle is great with sending pictures, and keeping me updated as to how she is doing, Of course Bella loves to cuddle with the entire family as well. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”

Sarah drove out of her way to pick Huck up with it being her suggestion. This was such a huge help to us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found her!!”
“Jesse is OUTSTANDING. Saved our whole trip - took Kona from a previous sitter who couldn't handle her energy – then made sure Kona was well cared for. She's our go-to and I've already started referring others to her.”

We loved the pictures she sent us daily, and she went above and beyond to take special care of our bulldog!! We felt so relaxed while on vacation knowing he was being loved in a beautiful home!! We will definitely be return customers!! We can’t thank her enough!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tara provided for my husky, Rocky! Huskies can be a handful, but she handled him perfectly — keeping him exercised, happy, and well-loved while she was boarding him. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, Rocky was calm, clean, and clearly well cared for.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Shepherdstown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Shepherdstown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shepherdstown 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 Shepherdstown.
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 Shepherdstown 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.
