“This was the first time our dog, Shira, stayed with Catherine, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Catherine asked a number of questions about Shira so that she could make her feel comfortable and relaxed as Shira can be anxious in new environments. Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“Leslie is the absolute best pet sitter. She is attentive and kind and so responsive. Theo is surrounded by cuddles and love and lots of hurkle-durkle when he stays with Leslie.”
“Tatiana took great care of our dog. It was our first time looking for boarding on Rover, and when I sent her a request, she responded immediately. Since it was only a few days before our trip, I was very relieved to have the booking confirmed so quickly. Dobby’s stay was fantastic. He loved playing with the other dogs and had a great time with Leo. Tatiana also sent us lots of photos and videos, which made us feel so relieved to see Dobby enjoying himself. We definitely hope to request boarding with her again!”
“We boarded our dog, Mocha, with Sowmiya and her family while we went on a short trip to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was Mocha’s first time staying with someone outside the family, so we were a little nervous—but the experience couldn’t have gone better. Mocha usually takes some time to warm up to tall men and small kids, so we were all surprised when she instantly connected with Sowmiya’s husband and young son. My kids and I just kind of stood there watching in disbelief—it was really sweet. Sowmiya sent daily photos and updates without us even asking and was very flexible with pickup and drop-off times. When we came to get Mocha, it was clear her whole family had gotten attached—they all looked genuinely sad to see her go. We’re so grateful to Sowmiya and her lovely family for taking such great care of Mocha. We’d absolutely trust them again.”
“we were a first time user to Rover and we were 100% satisfied with our host Karmen for our golden doodle. The host made us completely comfortable so that we could Enjoy our one week’s vacation and was extremely communicative with us during the entire process. We highly recommend her to any person who wants the best care possible! She treated our dog like a family member!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for my own (fur) baby girl 'Ginger', which has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly provide doggy daycare for my friends' dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making them feel safe and comfortable. Since I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. My Experience Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm committed to building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners through dependable, loving care. What You Can Expect Every booking includes: Daily updates Multiple photos Walks and potty breaks Playtime and enrichment Plenty of affection Respect your pet's routine I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. I will provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and at home. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. Since I work from home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and receive regular supervision throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, access to fresh water at all times, and plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and play. I also provide updates with photos and messages so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Jeong has provided great care for our pup. I especially appreciate the updates and pictures he provides throughout the day. We miss our pup when we’re gone, and everyone looks forward to the updates and photos we receive from Jeong! We know Luca is in good hands when we’re out of town. Will definitely reach out it again in the future!”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Thank you for taking care of Flash. Was definitely a new experience for him as a switch from a previous caretaker - this experience was awesome for Flash - an experience to interact with Arjun, play Fetch and in the process to even get trained and get Flash used to the atmosphere so quickly 🙏 This was a great exposure and I am confident enough to keep my Flash in a responsble family 🙏”
“Alexia is an INCREDIBLE sitter! She gave us daily updates with pictures and made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. Our dog returned home in such good spirits. He was given so much love and cuddles! We would highly recommend Alexia as a sitter.”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing!! She gives great updates with plenty of pictures. She is always quick to respond and will tend to all your needs. It was my first time using rover and she was a perfect fit! I will definitely have her watch Kenzie again!!”
“Sujan was a joy to work with from the initial booking to picking up my dog at the end of my trip. He was so attentive and intuitive to my dog and even fed him home-cooked meals! I cannot recommend Sujan enough if you want peace of mind while away. I will definitely (and hopefully,) use his services in the future. Thank you, Sujan!”
“Karen is wonderful. I am so happy I found her. She sent me lots of photos while I was away. I can tell by the daily photos I received that he was having fun and was happy. Thank you very much Karen for taking good care of my baby.”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Hoa was great! Our dog was a happy pup staying with her. She had lots of toys for him to play with and puzzles to get treats! Very kind, loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away”
“Ana is an amazing dog sitter. It was my dog's first time staying with her, and she went above and beyond to ensure he felt right at home. She took the time to share regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her care and attention!”
“I was so glad to be able to leave my Layla with Andrea and her sweet chihuahuas. Andrea gave Layla so much loving attention and sent me regular updates, including a heartwarming picture of Layla holding paws with one of her pups. It made my trip relaxing and enjoyable to know that Layla was in excellent hands. I hope to be able to leave Layla with Andrea every time I need to travel.”

“Couldn’t be more happy with Ashley’s boarding services. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, got more food when my girl was out, and even offered to clip Gamora’s nails. Which by some miracle her and her boy friend were able to. They are an amazing team and very clearly love the pets under their care. Excited because I travel regularly for work and it’s a huge relief to know that Gamora will always be in good hands.”

I had an amazing experience with Jinah this past weekend! She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell from the moment I picked her up that she was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Her home was very clean, safe, and welcoming, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept my dog engaged with puzzles, toys, and fun activities instead of just letting her sit around all day. It was obvious she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and stimulated. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and excellent care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
This was our first time leaving Ace with Nisha & family, they made it a great experience. They followed our feeding and medication routines. I've received texts and daily photo updates. Ace seems warmed up and got along with their dog Tyrion and toddler son soon after he was left. It is so nice to be able to leave Ace with them and know that he is loved and taken care of when we are not home.
This was the best boarding experience ever for our 2 doxies! Nina took great care to ensure the instructions we provided were followed to the letter. She actively played with them; she also shared numerous photos & videos at regularly scheduled intervals every day. Nina’s 2 dogs are adorable too. We can’t say enough good things about this experience!
Our dog (Viko) felt at home with Katie. Viko stayed during the 4th of July weekend, and is scared of fireworks. Katie took great care of Viko during that time. Katie kept us updated daily with Viko's activities. We'll definitely use Katie's services in the future. ❤️🐶
Darlin was amazing with my 3.5 month old puppy. He needed to do a last minute vet visit before he was dropped off and she was incredibly flexible with our schedule, which helped reduce my stress before going out of town for a few days. While he was there it sounded like he had the best time and got a ton of love despite being deep into his land shark/piranha phase. It was such a relief to know that my pup was not only safe, taken care of, but was also having a truly great time. I highly recommend and will be looking to her next time I need someone to watch my pup!
Staying with Heather and her lovely family was a wonderful experience for our dog Nia. Heather offered a meetup before the visit which was helpful to get to know the family and her dog Rosie. During the stay, Heather shared pictures regularly - which was comforting to see that Nia was having so much fun. Nia missed them all when I picked her up and she was very sad for a day. I would definitely look for Heather for our future needs to sit Nia and highly recommend her to any one looking for their pet.
Vaani was absolutely wonderful! She was always quick to respond and incredibly easy to communicate with. We especially loved the photos she shared of our little furball. They meant so much while we were away. She took excellent care of Rosie, who came home happy, well cared for, and completely content. It was clear Rosie was in loving hands. I would highly recommend Vaani to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive cat sitter. She made the entire experience smooth and stress free, giving us real peace of mind during our travels.
Amy is wonderful pet sitter! My little dog has separation anxiety, Amy went extra mile to make him comfort. She handled him such a patience and genuine care. She is communicative with videos and updates, and attentive to details. Amy is affectionate to pets. I would certainly recommend her.
Irene was a wonderful sitter for Bella! She went above and beyond to ensure that Bella was comfortable and happy. She pays attention to details, asks good questions, and made Bella's stay as fun as possible. She noticed a small medical issue beginning during Bella's stay and clearly communicated the issues to us and worked with us to ensure Bella was treated quickly. We are so happy that Bella was well taken care of while we were out of town.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
