About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every shape and size since I was born. I was an infant cuddling with our massive doberman! My friends, family, and neighbors always knew they had a reliable pet sitter as long as I was around. I also ran on Harrisonburg Rescue Squad as an EMT for about 2 years, which has taught me excellent hard and soft skills in the case of an emergency. I’m working part time right now, so I’m able to spend as much time as needed with your lovely pooches (or other animals)! I mostly work nights on the weekends, but am able to adapt my schedule, if needed. :) I absolutely respect a given owner’s rules for their pets. In my own home, we raised our pit bull to listen and be intentional, and he is an amazing boy. In my client’s homes, I will treat their animals with the utmost respect, while enforcing the necessary house rules. I can promise you that I will treat your pet(s) like my own and give them the love they deserve!
“Gabby is amazing! She accommodated our baby super last minute and saved a very important trip for our family. She’s extremely responsive, keeps you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and it’s very obvious that her entire family is full of animal lovers. They spoiled our big rambunctious Cane Corso puppy more than we could have wished for in a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! Thank you, Gabby and family!”
“We always feel reassured that our pup is taken care of and they’re happy to have her. Daisy is treated like the princess she is. I highly recommend their family to watch your beloved pets.”
“We were happy to find Thomas to watch our pup Kona for a couple of days while we were out of town. Thomas was very accommodating with meet and greet and drop off / pick up. He was responsive with check ins during the stay and making us comfortable that Kona had settled in and was doing well. She came back home calm and happy. Thank you!”
“Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!”
“This was my second time leaving our two Jack Russell‘s with Tamara. However, I was not sure how they would be leaving them for eight nights. They did great, and came home tired!😁 Tamara was very accommodating after I realized at the very last minute while in another country that I booked one day less with her than I needed. She was able to keep my dogs until I returned. I hope Tamara will be available whenever I have to go out of town again.”
“My dogs Huey & Edward had a great time with Alicia & her boys. So happy to have found a great rover near me that I can trust with my dogs! She gave them great exercise & so much love.”
“Rover had a great time with his new found friend Butcher. Tara was great at sending daily updates and being accommodating when our flight got delayed. She has a very big fenced backyard for the dogs to play. Rover will be back whenever we are out of town again. Thanks!”
“Lauren and her family were AMAZING! We knew that Moxie would have a great time after her meet-and-greet, but between roaming the backyard, walking the trails, and getting some surprise snacks from little hands, we know she had a wonderful weekend. Lauren was incredibly responsive and sent lots of updates with photos too. She and her family will be our first call when we need pup coverage in the future!”
“Jordan was amazing. In her profile she mentions last-minute options & that saved our last minute trip. I'm new to Rover & expected people's availability was accurate but over a dozen people provided bad info. She accepted hours before we dropped our dog with her. She was kind & brought my dog on errands & Starbucks for a pup cup.😂 Her location is super convenient driving from Arlington to 81 on 66. She has a few children that loved playing with Opal. She didn't introduce her dog with ours which is fine. Would definitely reach out again if we go that way.”
“Maki and Joel and their family took great care of Ragnar. They treated him as part of the family and that really made me feel comfortable. I can’t thank and recommend them enough!”
“If you're ever looking for a place for your fur kids to stay while you go out of town, I highly recommend Laura. I have 2 neurotic cats; 1 has CH that does not like getting confined in crates/small place and the other is spicy/moody. The stay was short with a (somewhat) unusual request, but Laura took them all in stride and went the extra mile to look after Sam and Cloud. Definitely one of my best rover experience and would not hesitate to ask her again in the future.”
“Lauren took such great care of my pups! She sent lots of adorable pics and made sure they were comfortable and happy. She was so accommodating and helpful. I know my dogs look forward to seeing her again!”
“Mila loved staying with Joel and Janelle! She came home so happy and healthy. I loved the communication and flexibility they provided, and all the pictures they sent during her stay!”
“Chris is an amazing sitter and has a wonderful family. He took Jett on walking trails, fed him, and played with him. In addition, he sent pics throughout the stay. I could tell my doggy really enjoyed his time with Chris. I will be using him again in the future.”
“Wonderful experience! Our dog was very well cared for, and we were regularly updated throughout our time away. Tetiana made an extra effort to meet up with us before the drop off date to make sure all were comfortable. We will absolutely use Tetiana in the future!”
“Amazing! I can’t say enough about how well she took care of our girls. I have already rebooked for our next trip. Not only does she treat the girls as family but she also works with training. We have a young pup so training has been out top priority. Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”
“Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.”

There are 367 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Stephens City. About 89% of Stephens City sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
