“Amber, did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She was attentive, and caring towards my dog, making sure he gets his medicine everyday. She sent me pictures and updates on his status. I really appreciate her taking care of my pet on a short notice. I will use her again! Thanks Amber.”
“We’ve booked with Erica several times now and she’s been wonderful with our hyper little girl, Daisy. Erica sends pics and videos and has put us at ease with leaving Daisy with her. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Kathryn highly enough. Our little dog Ruthie loved her stay and I loved the speedy communication and top notch care of our pup. She got 2 long walks a day and was treated with kindness and love like she was one of Kathryn’s own dogs! I have never felt more comfortable or pleased with dog care- it was a vacation for our furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Matisa was amazing! She is so kind hearted and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her so I was automatically at ease leaving my dog there - on very short notice by the way (so grateful!). I could tell Loki felt right at home with her family and family dog. He had a big yard to roam, which I’m sure he loved. Matisa sent updates and pictures often which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.”
“Tina did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town. She regularly checked in and if I messaged her she was prompted in response. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Traci was incredible! She was loving and caring to our golden girl and gave daily updates. She made sure my dog was comfortable and understood my dog's needs. Most importantly, I felt confident my dog was being taken care of in a safe home. Would not hesitate to book with Traci again”
“It was my first time booking with Heather and we had an amazing experience! My dog Stella looked very happy in all the photos I was sent. She kept me updated and made me feel like Stella was in good hands. Will definitely be a returning customer”
“Aubreyann was great! She took time with introducing our dog who tends to be nervous about other dogs to her dogs and provided us updates. She was also very adaptable and made the care of our baby so easy, thank you again!!!!”
“Chaoran was great with Ari from the 26th–1st. She was very communicative and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. I also had to extend the stay last minute, and she was super accommodating and adjusted the booking with no problem. Overall, a really positive experience and I’d definitely use her again.”
“Im really grateful for this family. My dogs seemed very happy and they felt the love. Thank you so much for taking care of them. I felt at peace the moment that I walked into your home. Looking forward for next time. ?thanks!”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“What an amazing experience! The communication and coordination for drop off/during boarding/pick up was all incredible. They were super flexible in my schedule and very responsive. They even made sure to keep me updated on Lucy during her stay with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby girl and would rebook all over again! She came back a happy pup 🥰”
“Sarah and Jacob where awesome from beginning to end and we even made new friends out of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone and we are definitely using them again to watch our fur babies when we go out of town”
“My cat was well taken care of! I would definitely board with her again, next time my cat and I are in town. I 10/10 reccomend Heather; she’s very sweet and your pet companion or fur baby will enjoy being looked after by her.”
“This was the 1st time we have boarded our pet, Cricket, the spoiled dog. Ms Rebeca took great care of our Cricket. We fully appriciated the effort she made sure we recieved photos and daily updates on how Cricket was doing. We are quite happy to have found a great home away from home for Cricket during our family vacation. Thank you so very much. The Shanks family”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish) and loved it. Less than a year after moving out to attend college I got my own puppy (Havanese). 12 years later I found myself getting a second dog after my parents and a sibling adopted her other 2 sisters (English Cream Golden Retriever puppies). We dogsit for them, and of course they come to family get-togethers, so we're used to having extra dogs in our house! In 2025 we said goodbye to our first dog, and a few months later welcomed home our foster-to-adopt puppy (chihuahua-beagle mix). The kids love playing and cuddling with dogs and understand when they need space. My job allows flexibility in my schedule to work from home when needed. I usually work early hours so that I can have more time available in the afternoons & evenings to spend with family. Caring for pets and considering their feeding/potty breaks is already part of our daily routine. Having my own home, family, and pets I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and respectful to take care of your pets. Your pet will be treated as one of our own.
“I absolutely love boarding my dogs with Maria. She’s my weekend getaway boarder and my pups love visiting her and her handsome son. I would highly recommend Maria!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Sumerduck 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 Sumerduck 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 Sumerduck.
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 Sumerduck. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Sumerduck 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.
