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.”
“Lovely house and neighborhood. Great yard. Very kind and gentle with my dog. Followed care instructions. Great communication and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommend”
“We left our dog Dyno with Connie for 10 days and we feel so lucky to have found such a great place. Connie was wonderful and sent us pics showing how Dyno was doing. She even sent some with him wearing a costume. He always looked so happy and made new friends that he missed when got back home. We highly recommend Connie.”
“Great communication leading up to our stay. Jeleesa was amazing with my pup! My dog came home just as happy as when I left her- I highly recommend to anyone needed a “home away from home” for their animal!”
“Lily, our dog seamed very happy there. The moment we arrived, Lily stated to play with the other dogs, and you can tell the Svetlana was a good and kind person the loved dog. We plan to use here again.”
“Camryn and her husband cared for my two cats while my husband is on vacation. They sent us updates and were flexible with drop off and pick up. They were accompanying to my cats needs and they were happy and healthy upon pick up. Definitely will be requesting their services again!”
“Marah provided exceptional care for our Kion. Kion instantly connected with her and her family. Throughout his stay, Marah kept us updated with regular messages and photos. She treated Kion as if he were her own, showering him with the same love, cuddles, and attention he receives at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend Marah for anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Our high-energy pooch loves coming to see Lisa and spending a few days. Our dog doesn’t warm up and trust most people very easily, but he took to Lisa and her caring home. The neighborhood is an easy drive in the Fredericksburg/Stafford area. We highly recommend Lisa. 5 Stars!!”
“Charlotte is a phenomenal sitter and I can’t recommend her enough! You can tell she really understands dogs, and our boy Bruno feels so comfortable with Charlotte’s “pack”. She is a great communicator and caretaker!”
“Owen seemed to really enjoy spending time with Brianna’s goldendoodles. He was well cared for and got plenty of play time with some other goldendoodles. The photos I received radiated nothing but love. Thank you for caring for my dog.”
“My husband and I could not be more pleased with all the love and attention to detail that they provided for our dog Spot for 5 days while we went on an out of town trip. Spot is somewhat shy and anxious, but this wonderful family provided for all his needs as evident in all the pictures and comments that we received several times through out the days of our trip. Any one looking for that special family to sit your pet, you have found them!”
“Laura was amazing with my dogs and amazing with all my request or accommodations needed. I would definitely use her again in the future and every time she’s available she is my go to sitter. I recommend Laura to anyone with any type of dog. Thank you Laura.”
“Nathan was great with our Peny and Rocky. Awesome communication. Also, Peny needed medicine applied twice a day for a skin condition and Nathan didn’t have any qualms with applying it and her skin is doing so much better now. I would have no worries leaving my pups with him again. I call them pups but they are both over ten years old. But they both are still my babies to me.”

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 Thornburg home-away-from-home, 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 Thornburg.
<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 Thornburg 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 , 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 .
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.
