“We absolutely LOVE sending our sweet Cooper to stay at Miss Connie’s! He has the BEST time, gets so much great outdoor time to run around and explore all the things, and comes back happy as can be! I can’t get enough of all the photos she sends while he’s there, and love all the furry friends he makes while he’s there :) Cooper can’t wait to be back again soon!”
“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!”
“Chloe officially has a fairy godmother 💕💕Ligia is a godsend for a picky eater. She hand fed Chloe when she wouldn’t eat. She recognized the Chloe is a mama’s girl and didn’t mind her following her around. Ligia provides individual attention for each of her charges. Can wait to use her again.”
“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and our first stay with Warren. Our dog, Captain Jack, had a wonderful stay. Warren kept me updated with pictures daily. Jack had plenty of playmates to keep him busy, in fact he didn't want to leave. Warren went out of his way to make sure Jack had a good stay and that the whole process was as easy and convenient as possible. We will definaely be booking with Warren again!”
“Ingrid was amazing! I took a chance in contacting her for a last minute sit for our fur baby and she was very accommodating! Received updates and pictures and our fur baby was so comfortable. So glad that Ingrid’s kids loved our baby and were especially helpful in her care too! Warm loving home for your fur babies? Definitely will reach out again.”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“Thank you so much, Riza, for taking care of Princess\ the photos you sent gave me peace of mind\. I truly felt that Princess was in good hands\. I really appreciate your kindness and the love you showed her\. I would definitely trust you to care for her again\. Thank you\!”
“Stephen was so great with our dog. We could tell our dog had such a great, comfortable time. Stephen was very communicative and made sure both we and our dog felt at ease. We’re so glad to have found Stephen, and I highly recommend him!”
“Morgan is truly a godsend! I cannot speak more highly about him. I was absolutely desperate to find a boarder for my grandmothers dogs as she had been hospitalized and her heat was not being paid due to memory issues. Our dogs of 10+ years were inside of the house without a caretaker and in a desperate plea for help, Morgan answered. Not only did he answer, but he moved around his schedule to get the dogs out of the house the next day. Due to the severity of the situation they had not been groomed , they were very matted and he even brought them to the groomers and back so that I could focus on an extremely important interview. He also sent lots of photos and videos that I was able to send to my grandmother during her recovery to make her feel better. I am so extremely grateful to have people like Morgan around. People like him give us faith in humanity again. ❤️”

“I’m so grateful to Kelsi for responding quickly to my last-minute, late-night request! I felt completely at ease leaving Faf with her and her wonderful family. Thank you for taking such great care of him on short notice and for spoiling him with yogurt and peanut butter treats! I will definitely reach out again when we’re back at Kings Dominion.”

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.
