“Kate and her whole family were amazing! They all went out of their way to keep Bella comfortable and safe. I was very concerned leaving her, since she is nearly 18 and doesn’t get around very well, but my fears were unfounded. From the moment I met her I could tell that Bella would be in good hands. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a truly caring and attentive dog sitter.”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“We always know Rue will have a good time with other dogs at Brent’s. We were on a 9 day trip to another country and we used What’s App to communicate. He sent us many pictures and kept us informed of how she was doing. Rue gets to play in his fenced backyard and sleep on comfy cushions in his house. She is an older dog with joint issues and Brent takes that into account and gives her good care.”
“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”
“Amber and her husband were great! She gave us updates and pictures through out our vacation! Even gave her a bath and washed the dog bed and cage. Would definitely be using them again in the future!”
“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”
“Our special needs senior dog is our child. He sleeps with us, sits beside us (or on top of us) on the couch, and is our first consideration when we're making any plans, even as simple as leaving him to go to the grocery store. We haven't left him with anyone outside of our home besides family in his 11 years! I came across Stephen's profile on Rover, though, and instantly felt like something was different. From our first communication, I was totally at ease. Leaving Winston with a stranger in their home was going to be okay- I just knew it in my bones. Now post- initial stay, I can absolutely say that Stephen and his family are simply, unequivocally the BEST. I received updates, photos, and videos throughout the day- he was on their couch, in their laps, wrapped life a burrito in blankets 😂, getting his treatment, giving complete "content dog" vibes. There was not a single doubt in my mind that he was loved there. If you're at all nervous about leaving your fur baby- this is the place. They are WONDERFUL. I'm reluctant to share this information, actually, because I don't want Stephen to ever not be available, but I also want others who worry about leaving their dogs as much as we do to experience the level of ease we felt. Fortunately he had availability for our next planned trip, and I've already rebooked.”
“Lily, our dog seamed very happy there. The moment we arrived, Lily stated to play with the other dogs, and you can tell the Svetlana was a good and kind person the loved dog. We plan to use here again.”
“Jeanette was amazing with my babies. She was very nice and responsive and sent lots of pictures. My puppies seemed like they had a lot of fun. Will definitely be coming back again for future puppy sitting needs.”
“Warren saved the day from the beginning! On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, my original dog sitter I had lined up stopped responding and I was on a major time crunch to leave for my trip. While scrolling through Rover, I saw Warren had confirmed availability for the weekend. I sent a message to Warren and within 10 minutes not only did I receive a response, he confirmed that he would be able to take my sweet pups. This was my first time ever taking them to a dog sitter, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Warren explained the process and really put my mind at ease. Through the stay, I received regular updates on how they were doing as well as photos. I cannot sing enough praises or thank Warren enough for saving the day. 10/10, will definitely be using him again!”
“Connie is a great choice for dog sitting! Our dog Hershey loves going to spend time with Connie and her family, just like he is going to stay with some friends. Can't say enough great things about our experience using Connie and would highly recommend her to everyone I know.”
“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.”
“Heather did an amazing job of taking care of Eli while I was out of town. She kept me up-to-date with pics of him of their daily activities, relayed funny stories, and was thorough in asking questions and catering to his lifestyle and well being. Leaving Eli with Heather left me with peace of mine and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Phillip did a wonderful job taking care of Onyx! She was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the care and attention Philip gave her, and I felt confident that she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Philip and would happily have him care for Onyx again!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care our pup received with Julie. We got tons of pictures and videos and updates, and I never once worried about how well he was being taken care of. Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“I'm so glad to have found Denise. My Luna is a shy girl, but she really enjoyed her stay with Denise. I was glad to receive updates on how she was doing and pictures. It was really great to also have the peace of mind that our baby was in good hands when we were out of town. We'll definitely use Denise again in the future.”

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 Snell 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 Snell.
<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 Snell 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.
