“What a wonderful home for my dog Pixie to visit. I think her time there was like being on vacation. Lauryn did a fantastic job. The home is cleaner than mine. The fenced in back yard is spacious. The whole family is attentive and loving towards Pixie. Highly recommend.”
“Cristen Michael and their son were fantastic. I got so many pictures and they loved on my old girl like she was their own. They even were able to get her to eat while I was gone, which is not something that normally happens. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Deemie took such great care of our sweetheart. From the meet and greet to pickup and departure, we felt our sweetie was in loving hands. Deemie sent pictures and kept us up to date. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Amanda and Scott were great watching our dogs. They were diligent making sure to feed Hank his special diet and made sure that was the only food he ate. We were sent photos during the day.Our dogs also enjoyed playing with their dog Walter. Will be using them again!”
“Brandy and her family loved our dogs as if they were their own!! We received daily pictures of them playing, looking happy, along with report cards at the end! They were well loved and taken care of!”
“Constance was excellent and very patience with Blake. She followed his scheduled feeding routine, administrated his medicine, and was willing to learn how to administrate his Insulin injections. I was very impressed on how professional she was. She gave me a daily update on how things was going, as well as, providing pictures. That reassured me and definitely put my mind to rest. I would definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.”
“Lora was great with our young dog! She was so kind and sent daily updates about their time together. This was my first time using a sitter who was not family with a pet. She gave me complete peace of mind with her knowledge and experience.”
“Robin was a lifesaver! She accepted my request booking on very short notice and responded quickly when I reached out for help with my pup, Otis. Otis had a great experience with you & your pups. Thank you for taking him on a 1 mile walk. Sincerely grateful & I highly recommend 👍”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“Wow, this family is amazing. I don’t know where to start because I would not have enough characters to explain how much we appreciated Patrick and Kamie. They really showed Penny a lot of love while we were on vacation. We had updates and pictures sent several times a day, and they showed how they engaged Penny with a variety of things that made her happy. I absolutely would recommend this family for all of your pet needs. Our top choice for Penny always!!!”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
“Lilly was wonderful with our pup Buttons. She and her family doted on Buttons. She listened to all her special needs and behavior, then made the adjustments for her stay.”
“Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️”
“Your pup loved her time with at Kathrine’s home! We will definitely check her availability sometime the next time we go out of town. She was professional, attentive, and accommodating at every turn.”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Tug absolutely loved Kristy and her family! Kristy took such great care of our little boy! She provided daily photo updates and we are very thankful for her quick responses, her love and dedication to dog care truly are unmatched! If I could give her ten stars I would!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Cassandra. She was wonderfully communicative and took excellent care of our dog Reagan. Reagan (42lb mutt) is a nervous/anxious dog with some behavioral issues but they made her feel so at home and loved and expertly navigated her eccentricities . Will definitely have her stay here again!”
“Cody was fantastic with our two dogs! She watched them for two days and one night, and we couldn't have been happier with her service. She was extremely professional, friendly, and communicated clearly with us throughout the stay. She was even able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change without any hassle. Despite it being a short visit, she made sure to send photo updates and check-ins on how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend Cody and would definitely hire her again!”

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 Susan 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 Susan.
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 Susan 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.
