“This was our pups second stay with Amber and she was once again incredible. Our dog seems so happy and loves his stays with her. We feel so lucky to have someone we trust ❤️”
“Linda took wonderful care of my dog, Max, this past weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that Linda genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept me updated, made sure Max was comfortable and well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked him up, Max was happy, relaxed, and clearly had received plenty of attention and affection. It's not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Linda made the entire experience stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the loving care she provided. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Max again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Linda, and your family, for taking such great care of Max!”
“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.”
“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”
“First time leaving my pup with new sitters that were not close to home. Loved the fact that she was able to roam the home. Even though she was mad at me! She looked happy 😊when I picked her up. Diffiently will give Eldeen another try, very pleased with the outcome.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Very pleased with the service rendered. I never had to question whether or not my dog was being taken care of. Jessie is very personable, and professional. I will definately be using her services again, if she'll have Gatsby back. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!!!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish) and loved it. Less than a year after moving out to attend college I got my own puppy (Havanese). 12 years later I found myself getting a second dog after my parents and a sibling adopted her other 2 sisters (English Cream Golden Retriever puppies). We dogsit for them, and of course they come to family get-togethers, so we're used to having extra dogs in our house! In 2025 we said goodbye to our first dog, and a few months later welcomed home our foster-to-adopt puppy (chihuahua-beagle mix). The kids love playing and cuddling with dogs and understand when they need space. My job allows flexibility in my schedule to work from home when needed. I usually work early hours so that I can have more time available in the afternoons & evenings to spend with family. Caring for pets and considering their feeding/potty breaks is already part of our daily routine. Having my own home, family, and pets I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and respectful to take care of your pets. Your pet will be treated as one of our own.
“Jim did a superb job taking care of my dog Nick. He walked Nick regularly, fed him on time, and was a wonderful companion for Nick. I am very grateful for Jim and definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Heather was fantastic! Because I leave so early for work she came to my house and picked up Genghis. I got a full report of all they did (lots of walking and playing). Genghis was happy and well worn out at the end of the day. I know my boy is well taken care of and I'll definitely ask her to watch him again.”
“Rachel was great!! This was our first time using rover. We were bit scared to leave our puppy but we had a great experience. She was very responsive, communicative. She sent pictures and updates of Brutus during his stay. We will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to other dog parents.”
“Lana was amazing with my dogs! I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups at the last minute and she was nice enough to help me out. She is such a nice and genuine person that loves animals! My pups were very comfortable staying with her. Thank you Lana 🙏🏽”
“Heather has hosted our 88 lbs yellow lab Chewy for extended overnight stays twice now. We know he's enjoyed the stay because he is eager to get in her door when we drop him off - and he's tired from all the play and fun when we pick him up days later. She does a great job communicating with us and takes his mischief with good humor. Will definitely continue to board him with her.”
“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”
“Stacie was amazing! She sent me a lot of photos of my doggies enjoying themselves while my husband and I were away on vacation. I never worried once while I was away because the photos showed that my dogs were happy and having a great time! I will definitely use Stacie again for when we go out of town in the future! Thank you SO much!! :)”
“This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them again.”
“Tracey was amazing. She was always lightning fast with responses, swooped in last minute to save the day, took care of everything, did more than I even asked of her, and made my first experience with Rover jaw-dropping. I am so glad that I found Rover, and so glad that it helped me find Tracey. No constructive feedback or concerns at all. Thank you so much.”
“We had such a great experience! This family was incredibly welcoming and made my dogs feel right at home. Communication was excellent — they were quick to respond and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I especially appreciated how comfortable they made even my shy dog, who didn’t want to leave when it was time to go! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. 🐾 We had such a great experience!

“So glad to have found Megan to watch my dog, Freya! Megan sent pictures & video of Freya having a great time. I could tell Freya was comfortable right away at our meet & greet & looked so happy when I picked her up. Megan is so friendly and patient, can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of my baby! 😊”
“All of them were super nice. It was Black Friday and most of the sitters were not available. But thankfully they were and Milo had a really good time there. They also kept me updated and most of all, I know he was loved when I’m away. I highly recommend them to anyone ❤️”

Jessie was so warm, caring, and helpful with my dog! I had a last-minute cancellation with my usual sitter and ultimately found Jessie because of all her positive reviews. My senior poodle mix is reactive to other dogs and hasn’t stayed with strangers very often, so I was a little nervous about how he would do with someone he had never met. As soon as he met Jessie, he immediately seemed comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he was just as happy as he normally is, so I could tell he had a great time with her. Thank you so much, Jessie! I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch my dog again!
Karla is a wonderful caregiver! Our dog seemed to enjoy his time with her and her family and we’re so thankful to have a safe and caring family to care for our fur babies. Karla offers excellent communication with very easy and flexible pickup and drop off times. We’d love to send our pets to her in the future for another puppy vacation!
Paul was absolutely wonderful with our dogs while we were away for the week. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the regular updates and pictures he sent throughout our trip. He stayed at our house so the dogs could remain in their normal environment, which made a huge difference in their comfort and routine. We came home to happy pups and a clean, well cared for house. Most importantly, it was obvious how much care and patience he showed them. We would absolutely trust Paul with our pups and our home again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
Janet always takes such great care of Mega and Honey! When I travel for work or recently had a family emergency, I know they are in the best care with Janet and her family. Mega and Honey love you all. They are our family now. ❤️ Thank you so very much for all that you do.
Gianna was a perfect sitter for our boy! She made sure to check in with us frequently sending pictures of them playing and cuddling. Our dog was peeing a lot but Gianna was ready with puppy diapers, made my worry go away instantly because it assured me she was completely prepared to take care of anything. I will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
94% of sitters in Skidmore 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 Skidmore 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 Skidmore 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 Skidmore Corner. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Skidmore 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.
