“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber’s care for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive and provided me with frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amber made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!”
“I have to say this was my first time leaving my puppy with someone that wasn’t family. Audree took wonderful care of our fur baby. I will admit that he is a bit humanized so we probably need to come back for some four-legged socialization, indefinitely will be calling on Audree!”
“This was my second time booking with Matisa, and once again she did an amazing job caring for my dog! She was communicative throughout the stay and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy and well cared for, and it was obvious she was in good hands. It’s clear that Matisa genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I always feel confident leaving my dog with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“She was flexible and able to accommodate a change from our original daycare booking to a one night boarding stay. I appreciated her willingness to adjust the arrangements and accommodate the change.”
“Jonah stayed with Heather for 10 days and we would use her again without hesitation! We appreciated Heather's excellent communication, diligence in keeping Jonah separated from larger dogs, giving him lots of attention, caring for him in the ways we requested, and sending us a snapshot on occasion while we were on our trip. We're glad to have found Heather!”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“Another amazing stay! Always very communicative, great updates, Mishka absolutely loves the family. Absolutely one of the best experiences we’ve had with Rover. Would 100% recommend.”
About: I have always been an animal lover! I spent a better chunk of my high school and college years watching horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, fish, birds, ferrets, chickens, and basically any other critter you can think of. I will absolutely love your animals as my own. I am available on short notice and can do daytime dog sitting. I am able to administer shots, IM injections, oral medications, or whatever special needs your pet may have. I work from home on my 6.52 acre farmette. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a sweet old lady dog who is happy to show the dogs the ropes! I have 5 fenced in acres for dogs to run around and play. I love to spend time outside playing with all the animals I can get my hands on. I’m equipped for horses, donkeys, goats, ferrets, dogs, birds, and reptiles!
“Heather is one of the best sitters on Rover! She does a great job of taking care of the dogs and keeping them on schedule. She is extremely kind and cooperative, and can work with any dog. Heather also sends updates throughout the day so that you can see how your dog is doing. If you are looking for a dogsitter, I would highly recommend bringing your dog to Heather! -Rachelle R.”
“Dayonna was absolutely fantastic! She kept me updated on Kahlua. Kahlua was very nervous and she immediately took her for a long walk to calm her down. I would definitely recommend Dayonna's services. She's thoughtful, responsible, and professional.”
“Awesome Loving home! Christine and family has got to be the most amazing dog lovers ever. I usually take my Bella to Calypso Kennel however, they were booked for Christmas vacation several months out. I took a chance and so glad I did. Bella enjoyed her stay and was so content. I highly recommend Christine and family!!!”
“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! 😊”
“Rebecca was fantastic. She was a great communicator throughout the entire stay and took wonderful care of Lucy and Ethel. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Tracey has boarded my dog multiple times and has always been flexible with scheduling and she provides pictures. She sends pictures of my dog having fun. Last time I dropped off Maddie she was eager to go inside Tracey’s house. Seems like she enjoys her stays there. I will continue to book with Tracey.”
“It was our first time using Rover and Chaoran made the whole experience so smooth! She was patient with our anxious pup and kept us updated every day with sweet messages and photos. You can tell she genuinely cares, and her own pup is absolutely adorable too, which just made everything feel even more welcoming. We’re really thankful for how well everything went and would definitely book with her again!”
“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skidmore Corner
Ms. Laurie is an amazing sitter and very attentive. She sent updates and pictures consistently and daily; it was very comforting to know they were in good hands. My fur babies were so comfy in Laurie’s home and got along well with her sweet dogs. I would use Laurie again.
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!

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 Skidmore Corner 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 Skidmore Corner.
<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 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 , 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.
