“We were definitely pleased with our pups staying with Megan while we were out of town. We received pictures and or videos each day with a comment letting us know how they were doing! Highly recommend! Thanks!”
“Jamie and her kiddos welcomed Brodi in with open arms! They treated him like family, giving him all the play time and snuggles a boy could ask for! He even got spoiled with a car ride, field trip to Lowe’s, nightly energetic play time and sleeping in their bed like at home. I am soooo thankful to have someone I trust take care of my baby while I’m gone. Gives me so much peace of mind. Jamie is such a sweetheart and sent updates as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Shanae was so sweet and reassuring. She made sure to communicate with me everyday and sent pictures/videos. My big boy was comfy and had so much fun at her home with Ash!”
“Kimberly made us feel so at ease while she kept our dog. She was so happy to have him which made us feel comfortable and stoked for him to be with her for the weekend!”
“Shannon is a great dog sitter. It is obvious she loves animals and takes really good care of them. She sent pictures and updates regularly which put us at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Anastasia did a great job with our girls! Her backyard was big and specious, giving our high energy girls space to play! She sent updates daily and was very accommodating for our last-minute booking!”
“Julianne provided an extraordinary care for Molly while we were away. She was constantly updating us on how Molly’s day was going. She is loving, warm, and welcoming. We will definitely book her again and would recommend her to care for fur babies.”
“Thank you for taking care of Gigi! Will definitely book again. Even included a goodie bag 😸. Im sure she enjoyed her stay and the communication was top tier with lots of photos of her time there. I appreciate all the updates and making sure she had a comfortable stay. Thank you again!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Overseas during covid that was my main job and I had over 25 clients. I can help with medications given, dog walks, dog check in or do in home boarding. I do live a short walk from a park, so can also do playtime and walks at the park as well! I am available for drop ins visits and walks. ** I do NOT board dogs in my home anymore ** Monday-Friday I can do drop in visits and walks in the morning and evenings. But I do work during the day (unless off) ** If you are Active Duty, going TDY, etc. Or just a fur parent with no help, please let me know ahead of time so I can help you the best I can! I have a fenced in back yard with a lot of space. I have 3 senior dogs that love other dogs, but I also have plenty of space to keep dogs separated if needed. I also live walking distance from my local park. Smoke free home.
“Beth and family were great with Biscuit! She sent lots of pictures of Biscuit living his best life and playing with her dog. Communication was great, and drop off and pick up a breeze. We did a meet and greet as Biscuit can be afraid of other dogs, and it went well. Would book with Beth again!”
“Shawn and his family were incredibly responsible and caring while I was away. They kept me updated and informed about my dog’s well-being. I highly recommend them as a great host and will definitely use their services again.”
“Leila did an amazing job with my pup. I shared my concerns about my dog’s reactivity, and she was understanding and made sure my girl felt comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures, was easy to communicate with, and was flexible when my pickup time changed. I really appreciated her care and understanding of my pup and her needs.”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“My kitties were so loved and cared for! This was the first time they went to a cat sitter and I can't believe how lucky we were to find such an amazing pet sitter! Thank you so so much🤩😍”

She took great care of Kobe! I really appreciated the pictures and updates, and being able to see where he would be staying helped me feel comfortable. He seemed happy when we picked him up and settled right back in at home. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!

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.
95% of sitters in South Suffolk 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 South Suffolk 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 South Suffolk.
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 South Suffolk. On Rover:
- 89% 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 South Suffolk 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.
