“Bodie stayed with Phillip for two weeks while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. Being so far away from home, it gave me real peace of mind knowing Bodie was in great hands. Phillip regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I was able to see that Bodie was happy, comfortable, and doing well. Bodie especially enjoyed having the large backyard to roam around in. One of the things I appreciated most was that he wasn’t placed in a kennel like he had been with a previous boarder. I know having the freedom to relax in a home environment made him much more comfortable and helped reduce his anxiety. It’s not easy leaving your dog for two weeks, especially when you’re far away, but I never had to worry about whether Bodie was being well cared for. Phillip took great care of him, and I would absolutely trust him with Bodie again.”

“I cannot recommend Kathryn highly enough. Our little dog Ruthie loved her stay and I loved the speedy communication and top notch care of our pup. She got 2 long walks a day and was treated with kindness and love like she was one of Kathryn’s own dogs! I have never felt more comfortable or pleased with dog care- it was a vacation for our furry family member! Thank you so much!”

“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”

“Our old pup absolutely loves staying with Julie’s family. She takes wonderful care of him, navigating his picky eating and various joint medications. He comes home so tired - from both the outdoor time and the social interactions, I am sure. I trust Julie completely with his care and will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs as long as she will have us.”

About: I care deeply about the well-being, happiness, and comfort of every dog in my care. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe, loved, exercised and relaxed. You can enjoy worry-free care knowing your furry friend is in caring and attentive hands. I’ve owned pets my whole life and I’ve fostered dogs for the past 3 years. I work but I get up early enough to have ample time for morning routine of potty, feeding and playtime or walk. After work, it’s potty, feeding and playtime again with a walk. Your pet will have the freedom of the main floor until they have settled in. I have gates, play fences and crates if they are needed. Once comfortable, they are allowed upstairs (I had a few fosters that loved to hang out on my bed). I have a fenced yard for play and bathroom. I have multiple dog beds and lots of toys. I have my own small dog, who has never met a dog he didn’t like, and three cats.

She is so kind hearted and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her so I was automatically at ease leaving my dog there - on very short notice by the way (so grateful!). I could tell Loki felt right at home with her family and family dog. He had a big yard to roam, which I’m sure he loved. Matisa sent updates and pictures often which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book her again and again. Highly recommend!”

“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Luna and Bella. He was so sweet and patient with them, made sure they were fed on time, and always gave them plenty of time outside to play in the yard. He really paid attention to the little details and even gave us helpful recommendations to improve how we care for the dogs, which we truly appreciated. He was always on time, very responsible, and super patient when loading them up. His communication was on point; he kept us updated every day without us even having to ask. We’re so thankful we found him and are already planning to book him again for future pet sitting. Highly recommend!”

I knew he had a great time when I was more excited to see him than he was to see me after a week! Monica was also gracious to allow me to extend his stay a few days beyond the reservation when my original plan for pickup changed. I highly recommend Monica and I will definitely book 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 Skinkers 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 Skinkers 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 Skinkers 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.
