“This was our first time boarding with Kelly, and I knew from the meet & greet that our dog would be in great hands! Kelly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We highly recommend booking with her! ❤️🐾”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“Another wonderful week at Samantha’s house! Momo has a great time and we truly appreciate feeling like he’s with family. They celebrated his 3rd birthday and sent me party photos :D I can rest easy when he’s with you guys and that means the world to me!!!!”
“Ali was wonderful with Penny, we received daily photos and communication for two weeks. Penny felt right at home, she looked happy, relaxed and well taken care of. Penny came home bathed and with a a sweet note and new toy. We have found Penny’s home away from home and will be rebooking soon. Highly recommend Ali to take care of your fur babies.”
“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“We have booked our dog Roxe with Sophia several times. I can tell by the pictures Roxe loves her walks and the other dogs. Roxe is a little timid so seeing her with other dogs and on walks assures us we have found a great dog sitter. Sophia is super sweet, flexible and very responsive. We love all the pictures. I highly recommend Sophia.”
“I couldn’t be happier with this dog boarder! She is extremely kind and clearly loves what she does. Her home is in an absolutely clean environment, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog received very good care and came home happy and relaxed. What really surprised my husband and me was our dog’s cool attitude when we went to pick him up—unlike at earlier places, where he would rush toward us anxiously. He has never been so relaxed and comfy at any of the previous boarders’ homes. 10/10. Thank you, Victoria!"”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“Sarah was wonderful with Murphy and Mazi. She kept me updated with pictures, handled their medications carefully, and clearly treated them like part of the family. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was with my schedule, including extending their stay by an extra day when my plans changed. I would absolutely trust Sarah with them again.”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“We just love Tetiana. Period. She is so caring, wonderful, attentive, and responsible. This is our pup’s second stay with her and I know he is very well take care of because he is happy and completely relaxed when we pick him up. Tetiana gives us daily updates with pictures and messages. I can see how much fun he is having with Tetiana’s little puppy Toph. Thank you so much, Tetiana. We really appreciate you!”
“Super great job. Love all the pics of walks and playtime. Great communication. Our two dogs even came back from their stay brushed, all their toys and blankets and food organized, and ready to go. Would definitely book again. They had a blast, and we loved seeing them have fun while we were away. Thank you!”
“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“A few days into our planned two week trip to Scandinavia, we got a call from Joanna. She reported our dog behaving differently, and then a day later pooping with blood. She rushed Bluey to her closest vet, and our dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis, a potentially fatal condition for young dogs. Joanna took Bluey to the vet two more times and faithfully cleaned up after our dog who continued to have accidents in the house. She medicated Bluey as directed and was able to care for Bluey until we could find a city to cut our trip short and return home. We owe John and Joanna many thanks for caring for Bluey and potentially saving his life.”
“Susana was wonderful with my 16-year-old dog. She was very attentive and accommodating to my senior dog’s needs, and I truly appreciated the care she provided. I also loved how she kept me updated and maintained great communication throughout. Plus, the fact that she speaks Spanish is a wonderful bonus. Thank you, Susana!”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
“Tracey and her family are so caring and attentive, I highly recommend them and will be using them again! My anxious girl got sick while I was out of the country and Tracey was very communicative with me describing her symptoms. She administered her medications which led to a speedy recovery. I am very discerning who I leave my pup with, which is why I give Tracey 5 stars!”
“They are such great fur baby sitters! Jax came home happy and not stressed at all. I loved getting all the updates and pictures and will definitely book with them again!”
“Traci is amazing. Positive energy overflowing, and our Nala got along great with her Mavis. I know Nala will be lonely without her! Traci was perfectly accommodating with all of the logistics and easy to communicate with. She sent us pictures and updates. She is someone I could definitely be friends with, and hope to keep this relationship going. We're so thankful to her for taking such great care of our Nala. Thanks Traci!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stumptown
Kelly is absolutely awesome, and the care she provided for our two dogs was nothing short of superb! This was our second time booking with her, and she continues to exceed expectations. She sends frequent picture updates that make it easy to see how happy and relaxed the dogs are. Our dogs love their creature comforts, and Kelly opens up her home so completely that they feel right at home. Five stars doesn't do her justice—she truly goes above and beyond for our fur babies.
I know this a good sign - he started to whimper and talk back to me when we got to Colleen's. He hopped onto her lead, walked into the house and never looked back at me, completely comfortable from the get go. Colleen checked in with me while away and was responsive when I reached out. She noticed Nico's anxiety and seems to have taken good care of him. I would leave Nico with Colleen again in the future.
Thank you, Maria for taking such good care of Esther during her stay this past week. I appreciated your prompt communication as well as all the extras that you did to make sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. I look forward to booking with you again in the future.

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.
94% of sitters in Stumptown 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 Stumptown 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 Stumptown.
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 Stumptown. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Stumptown 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.
