“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”
“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 :)”
“Andrea and Paul are such good people - we felt like family as soon as we met!! They took amazing care of Nala - our Jack Russell. They made sure she had everything she needed and more. Nala loved the back yard - looking forward to our next visit.”
“This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.”
About: Welcome! I’m Karmen, and I work as a school counselor. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I’m also a lifelong animal-lover. Rover has become one of my favorite hobbies because it allows me to spend my free time doing something I love—helping others! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, and care they receive from you. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own. 🐾🧡 I enjoy caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets through drop-in visits and house sitting for pets who are happiest in their own environment. 🐶🐱
“Heather was great! She gave me multiple updates on Melvin daily! Every trip from now on I will be using Heather! Melvin didn’t want to come home he had such a great time!”
“James was amazing! My two puppers are only four months old and he was willing to take them anyways and he did a fantastic job! They were safe, well cared for, And he sent pictures and kept me informed. My one pup has a heart condition and he gave her medication as prescribed… I hope to use him again, the experience was fantastic… Go With James!!!!”
“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”
“Charity kept my senior pup Buster for two nights this past weekend. He's very dog selective, thus has to be kept by himself/away from other dogs most of the time. I was pleased to find out she took the time to assess his personality and closely supervise an introduction to one of her very laid back dogs and all went well. He came home happy and well adjusted. I've already given her name to a local friend, and will check her schedule for future boarding needs.”
“She was awesome and I didn’t worry about Simon while we were away. It was the first time we left him so at first I was very nervous. Simon had separation anxiety during his stay and she was patient and understanding. She kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay with texts and pictures. Will definitely be booking her again for any future trips without hesitation.”
“A 3-month old puppy is not easy, but I had a family emergency and had to find support fast. Natalie quickly accepted my request, and was great with answering all my questions (I’m new to the app). She took great care of Oliver, and gave him all of the attention an active puppy needs!”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”
“Brianne was amazing with my pup, Baci. She was quick to communicate, so kind, very flexible, and I picked up a happy dog. I highly recommend Brianne. This is one of my first dog sitting experiences and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
“Tyler is the best! Tyler has sat my dog many times, and he is responsive and loves my pup! He gives my dog lots of exercise and love! This last time Tyler took care of my dog, it was right after my dog had emergency surgery. Tyler gave him his medication and made sure he was not exercising or doing stairs. I cannot say enough good things about Tyler!”
“Kirstin was so wonderful with our dog; she took great care of her and we got lots of thoughtful updates. Our flight was delayed on our way back and she was so helpful and flexible throughout, and even kept our dog for an extra night. We were so grateful! Highly recommend; will definitely book again.”

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.
96% of sitters in Twymans Mill 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 Twymans 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 Twymans Mill.
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 Twymans Mill. On Rover:

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 Twymans 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.
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.
