“Extremely pleased with her service! Kept me updated with videos and pics throughout the visit. Definitely will utilize her services in the future - my baby was happy with his stay!!”

“Julie was very friendly and took very good care of Volt. She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates frequently. Volt seems to have really liked her and her pets. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for boarding their pets.”

“We are so happy we found Laurie to take care of our 12 year old Aussie. After the initial meet and greet she was able to take him in for a few nights while we were on travel at the last minute. Laurie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching. All of the other dogs that she watches were all really friendly as well and we are really grateful that’s he got a lot of playtime in her fenced in back yard. Laurie was also super communicative and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“We are repeat clients (several times) of Heather! She is great with our shy, hesitant dog and knows how to introduce him to other pet friends. Heather takes the time to know your furry kid and welcomes them into her family She is flexible & keeps in touch with pics/comments and we NEVER worry about our pet while he is with her!!”

“Audree took good care of Rueben and he loved it there with the other dogs also. You could tell he was really in his element. She shared videos and pictures and kept us updated with him!”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“The BEST! We were hoping to find someone who cared for our little guy like we do and we found her. Linda and her family are amazing and deserve 6 stars. We will be using Linda's boarding services many, many more times!”

“Connie was absolutely awesome and very accommodating. We were late when dropping off and early when picking up and she was so nice about it. When we picked her up, our pup was exhausted from playing non stop. Connie sent tons action pics of Xena and we know she had the time of her life there lol”

“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.”

“I can always count on Dana to watch our dog, I always feel at ease whenever I leave him with her and he had another wonderful stay! Thank you for making your home his second home :)”

“Takeema was great and very accommodating especially with our last minute reservation. Our Girl Ruby was so relaxed when we picked her up. We will definitely reach out in the future.”

“Erica was so great, I’m solo pet owner and had plans at the last minute, she was so great with Marvel on first visit and my accommodation for extra day. He is smaller so he takes a few minutes to observe before playing with big dogs, but once he gets started he loves play dates all sizes”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care Leslie provided for our dog, Siku, over the 9 days we were away. From the very beginning, Leslie was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease leaving Siku in her care. Throughout our trip, Leslie kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Siku was not only well cared for, but also happy and comfortable. When we returned, Siku was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given lots of attention and love. Leslie truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter—and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kathryn was amazing! So warm and inviting to me and my dog Romeo! The kids loved on him just like he was their own. I got pics of him everyday and I’ve never seen a smile so big on his face! She made him feel at home and made me feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of in a safe and happy environment! This was my first time boarding him and I absolutely will be calling her in the future! 10/10!”

“Traci is phenomenal with our dogs! She took care of our furbaby a week after his surgery when my family had to go out of town. She made sure he was comfortable and was sure to provide updates throughout the time we were gone. We highly recommend Traci!”

“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”


“Keetna loves being with Jim. When we are leaving him with Jim he gets very excited. That has been a sign to us that he is content and well taken care of while we are away.”

“Eldeen and her family are such great pet sitters. I was extremely hesitant to leave my pet with some complete strangers but, my doubts were immediately dismissed once I met Eldeen. My pet was so comfortable with their home, she couldn’t wait to explore their home. I would recommend Eldeen but I want to keep them a secret. 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tacketts Mill
Jessie was so warm, caring, and helpful with my dog! I had a last-minute cancellation with my usual sitter and ultimately found Jessie because of all her positive reviews. My senior poodle mix is reactive to other dogs and hasn’t stayed with strangers very often, so I was a little nervous about how he would do with someone he had never met. As soon as he met Jessie, he immediately seemed comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he was just as happy as he normally is, so I could tell he had a great time with her. Thank you so much, Jessie! I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch my dog again!

Gianna was a perfect sitter for our boy! She made sure to check in with us frequently sending pictures of them playing and cuddling. Our dog was peeing a lot but Gianna was ready with puppy diapers, made my worry go away instantly because it assured me she was completely prepared to take care of anything. I will definitely be booking with 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 Tacketts Mill 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 Tacketts Mill.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tacketts Mill 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.
