“Michelle is great! My dog immediately recognize her from a previous time and he was comfortable right away. I really appreciate the daily update on my dog and pictures of his activities during the day. 10/10”
“I'm a happy returning client. Wendy thoroughly enjoys her stay with Sonia and John. John provides a lot of updates and photos, and I can relax knowing that she's having a great time.”
“Brianna was super kind and patient w/ pup. He takes a long time to adjust to new environments and can be anxious, and there were some challenges but Brianna was always reassuring that it was ok and she handled it well. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and gave daily updates. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”
“Henry was great watching our two dogs for 8 days. He was very responsive to any questions or information we were seeking. He was highly communicative sending pictures and updates. We could tell he genuinely cared about our dogs. Highly recommended.”
“Foggy had such a great time at Joanna & John’s. He got along great with their dog and came home tuckered out and very happy. We would happily book with them again!”
“Andrew was great! Our dog stayed with Andrew and his dog(s) and our dog loved playing with the other dogs all day. I would definitely board our dog with Andrew in the future.”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“I was really nervous because this was the first time I had someone else watch Cooper, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They let me walk around the house, answered all my questions beforehand, and even little things like having rugs on the hardwood made me feel better about him being there. She was very communicative the whole time and sent a bunch of pictures and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she and her husband truly care and make the pets they watch feel like part of their family. Cooper seemed to settle in well and came home happy. I’d absolutely book with them again.”
“Our dog stayed with Lowell twice in one week. As we were pulling up to his house on the second time, she immediately started to wag her tail, a good sign. After both stays, she was so tired from playing in the yard that she slept the entire next day. Lowell was also very flexible with drop off/pickup times, and very responsive. Would definitely recommend.”
“Zosha and his partner took such great care of Jefe! We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and sweet about the whole thing. Their communication was amazing the entire time, and I could tell Jefe was in really loving and caring hands. We’d absolutely love to book with them again in the future. I’d definitely recommend them to all fur parents!”
“Prisila is so sweet! She is so kind and attentive with her. I love that I can leave Piper with her and not worry in the least. Piper comes back happy and very time.”
“Byamba and family were great hosts to our Mary. He shared photos daily which made us reassured she was happy and well cared for. Will definitely have Byamba host Mary again.”
“Andrea is awesome!! It was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone better! She took great care of our dog Ginger and sent lots of cute updates of Ginger and her dogs being the sweetest friends! Andrea is very communicative and takes the time to really get to know the dog she is caring for. We will 100% be a repeat client. Highly recommend! Thank you Andrea!”
“Musa and his family took such great care of my kitten, Grogu! It was obvious that Grogu was played with a lot and given great attention. Thank you, Musa! We would love to have you watch him again??”
“Can’t recommend Mary enough! Fenwick looked like he had the time of his life playing in her big yard with the other doggos. Mary sent us a ton of pictures and made Fenwick feel right at home 🙂🙂 will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own who will always hold a special place in my heart. 🐶💕 I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I work full-time, but I live very close to home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll make sure they get regular walks, attention, and care while you’re away! I have two friendly cats who are happy to keep your pets company! 🐱💕 If your pet prefers their own space, I also have a spare bedroom where they can relax comfortably and have some quiet time. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Strathmeade Springs
Seyedkamyar truly saved the day! I had a last-minute need to board my boxer, Mae-Mae, due to an appointment. I reached out to over 20 dog sitters, and everyone either declined or never responded—until Seyedkamyar came through! He went above and beyond by taking the time to do an informal meet-and-greet to make sure Mae-Mae was comfortable with him before I left her in his care. He treated her like his own and sent frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t thank Seyedkamyar enough for being so accommodating, patient, and caring, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with Mae-Mae again. Thanks again, Seyedkamyar! 🐾❤️
Sissi was the absolute best dog foster mom for my two dogs. She had no problem with their special home made food and they had such a good time playing in her back yard. Even more importantly, she loved on them and gave them so much attention! I could tell how happy they were in all the wonderful photos and videos she provided. She loved my dogs like they were her own and am so glad to have found a loving and caring dog sitter that I can use for when I need to travel or even doggy daycare. Fozzie and Jerry send their love!!
Rico loved spending the weekend with Gail and her pup. He actually didn’t want to leave! She was welcoming and flexible when our plans changed. She sent many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Gail and Rico can’t wait to go play again.
Shermane and Edouard were amazing with our dogs! They took great care of them and I received updates and photos every day. I could see that they were happy and they got plenty of walks despite the rainy weather. They were also very flexible with my schedule since I had to travel to the airport. They clearly know what they’re doing. I have two anxious dogs and I would feel very comfortable leaving them in their care again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Maisie and Luna.

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 Strathmeade Springs 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 Strathmeade Springs.
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.
You and your Strathmeade Springs 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.
