“Our dog had a great time, she stayed with Ashley for a month. We love that she keep us posted by sending pictures and telling us how Milu was doing. It was great to have that communication. Ashley’s overall energy and interaction made our dog feel comfortable and relaxed. When we pick Milu she was happy, healthy and in good shape. We will definitely book with her again.”
“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.”
“Larissa is so sweet and accommodating her and her husband always takes such good care of all our pups. My boyfriend even has a bad hip and is slow to get out of the car so they come out to the car and help get the dogs so he doesn’t have to struggle. They know what family is like and they treat you as such the pups were always joyful We fed and loved when they come home.”
“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”
“Denise was absolutely amazing with dezl. She was very thorough and understand of dezls needs. I loved that she sent pictures and updates throughout dezls stay. If I could put more stars I would! Definitely will be using her again :)”
“Seyla provided TOP TIER service over the weekend while I was away. This was my first time leaving Jax with anyone and I had an idea that he would do well with my 130lb Germanese. But he far surpassed my expectations. I am so grateful for the peace of mind I was afforded knowing Jax was in good hands. From the daily hiking adventure videos to the nightly progress reports...I never had to guess if my big baby was adjusting well or blending in well with the pack. Thank you thank you thank you, Seyla!! and the camera footage... totally James Bond!! Jax can't wait to come back and visit again.”
“La Tasha treated my dog with care. She kept me updated me with photos and videos that helped put my mind at ease on his first overnight with her. I would absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
“Tracy was outstanding! I’ve NEVER felt more comfortable leaving my Duke with anyone else as I did with Tracy. We received daily updates (pics/videos) of hun and it kept my mind at ease that our baby was being cares for. Thank you so much Tracy! You are a Godsend!”
“Camryn is very nice and accommodating. She took great care of Navi, kept me updated, and sent cute pictures. Navi was very happy to meet her and they got along great! Thank you so much, we’re looking forward to the next time!”
“Sarah was a great fit for my dogs! They had a little vacation and enjoyed themselves. My puppy had a few accidents and Sarah was very gracious about it. She was flexible and communicative!”
“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.”
“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Tahliyah was very professional and had clear, timely communication. Her two dogs Rocket and Bolt were a great match for my dog Taro’s energy and were an excellent companionship for her while we were away. Would highly recommend.”
“Brooke is the absolute best! I am very particular about who I leave my dog (Theo) with, particularly because of his small size and his separation anxiety. Brooke was phenomenal the entire week that we were on vacation and Theo was so happy. She took him on walks, played with him, let him take naps and snuggle with her, and she even worked on training to help with his anxiety. She even dropped him off for us after we'd been on the road all day. She sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and he looked so happy every time and it was such a relief to not have to worry about him while we were away. Brooke absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients and I would highly recommend her to anyone! ♥️”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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 Smith Hill 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 Smith Hill 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 Smith Hill.
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 Smith Hill. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Smith Hill 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.
