“These lovely sitters have a special place in our hearts. They truly seem to be a second family to our precious Mae. Highly recommend above all if the other boarders we’ve used through Rover and other means of securing a pet sitter.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Always a great visit with Dylan. Our pup was recovering from a surgery and needed a little extra care and Dylan made it easy and worry free. Will book with Dylan again.”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.”
“Laura and DJ took such great care of our dogs, Benny and Kiwi, while we were away for our wedding weekend!! They sent regular picture and video updates of the pups playing, getting love, and having fun. I can’t thank them enough! Definitely 10/10 recommend booking with them!”
“Christina and family put me at ease immediately with continuous communication and updates even before Kane’s stay. I loved their willingness to accommodate his sleeping and eating habits and even the daily walks by Christina’s husband was kind and thoughtful. Kane has an affinity for blankets and they sent Kane home with another to add to his collection. A lovely family who made our time away from Kane soooo much easier. Grateful and thankful!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was excellent with the communication and pictures and I felt so good to see my dog happy while I was out of town taking care of business. Melissa will forever be my dog sitter for my pup.”
“Matt was absolutely wonderful our Dalmatian, Juniper! He was also so accommodating when our flight home was cancelled resulting in us picking her up a couple hours later than originally scheduled. I would highly recommend him if you ever need a sitter for your dog, and would not hesitate to book with him in the future.”
“Kim was amazing with my dog, Tux!! He stayed with her for 3 nights and had a blast! I know he was well taken care of! She also bathed and groomed him while he was with her and I got him back so clean and well groomed! She does such an amazing job and we will be coming back to her for grooming and hopefully he can visit again when we have to go out of town. She really is amazing and amazing at what she does! You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches and takes care of!”
“Hilary was a terrific dog sitter for our 10 year old beagle- conscientious, friendly and so flexible, helping us out by picking up our dog for us. She sent us pictures every day to keep our "mom worries" under control. We feel fortunate to have found Hilary.”
“Outstanding in every way!! Bailey (our pup) loves going there & always comes home happy & well cared for! This is our 2nd time using Josephine to dog sit & we couldn't be more happy with the experience both times!!”
“Shannon was incredible! 12 outta 10 would recommend. It was the first time in two years I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in safe hands while I was away. She and her family took such good care of him and she sent me updates, photos, and videos every day. I was overjoyed to see how relaxed and happy he was (he legit seemed to be having his own little vacation!) So glad to have finally found a reliable caretaker who loves my pup as much as I do for when I’m out of town”
“Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾”
“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”
“Milo was with Jonathan for 8days .. he truly took care of my baby.. I will be using him in the future… I’m glad Milo was able to be around other dogs … Thank You Jonathan for loving and taking care of Milo”

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 Sutherland 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 Sutherland.
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 Sutherland 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.
