“Deb and Ralph did a great job taking care of our dog. Deb sent us pictures and updates every day, and gave us peace of mind. We were so grateful hat our girl got such good care.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Joe! He took fantastic care of our dog, Tilly, while we were away on vacation for a week. Joe was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring Tilly received all the love and care she needed. We came home to a happy and healthy pup, and we are so grateful for Joe's excellent service. Highly recommend!”
“I am overwhelmed with joy at how AMAZING Nadia was with watching my baby boy. Truly, she went above and beyond in a way I’m not accustomed to. My husband and I have only left Zuko with trusted family and friends, especially after having a bad experience leaving him at a kennel when no one we knew were available. Understandably, we were a little nervous leaving him for the first time since with a stranger. From the start, Nadia was incredibly responsive, having responded to my request immediately. Her initial detailed questions showed she takes this very seriously and I had a good feeling so we booked. Upon drop-off, Nadia was unbelievably thorough, asking more questions and making sure we covered everything, while also informing me of the type of care she planned to provide, such as supplementing Zuko’s diet with healthy human food, and taking him out into the woods as long as I was comfortable with it. She and her husband were so warm, welcoming, and sweet, greeting our pup as if they already knew him, and while our pup is normally very timid around new people, he seemed really comfortable in both their presence. My husband and I drove away feeling at ease that Zuko was in safe, capable hands. Throughout her time with him, Nadia frequently sent adorably written updates with pictures, and she gave him plenty of exercise, stimulation, and lots of spoils with great food. We were able to relax on our vacation and not worry, as Nadia gave our boy the most amazing love and care that a pet parent can only dream of from their sitter. It was clear Zuko enjoyed his time as he seemed to have already made himself at home and looked so happy being at the retreat upon pick-up. I cannot recommend Nadia more highly!!! She is the absolute best, and if we were local, I know without a doubt that we’d be regulars.”
“We cannot say enough about the loving and caring environment created for our 🐶. She is 5 and had never stayed with anyone other than family and somehow Jani & Paul made it seem like our Lucy was with family. We cannot recommend them enough!”
“Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.”
“10/10 would absolutely book with her again! she was so prompt and responsive leading up to ollie’s stay, and she was incredibly accommodating. as soon as i arrived, she immediately made me feel like ollie was in good hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. he had such a fun time staying with her and even got to see goats, which was definitely a highlight! i really appreciated how caring and attentive she was with him.🩷”
“Merry was such a great pet sitter ! It was my 1 st time using rover.com and i didn’t know what to exspect so I messaged a few peoeple and Merry was the 1 st to respond with in minutes. It was a last Minute trip. She was able to watch my German Shepard that same day I messaged her ! She was very caring and knowledgeable about dogs . My 1 1/2 year old German Shepard went right up to her with out any problems, he instantly felt the love ! Thankyou again Marry”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember. From a golden retriever, Chocolate lab, Chihuahua to an American Bulldog. We lost our Poe (American Bulldog) several months ago and instead of getting an new pup I want to love yours! I am active and will take your pup on walks and they will get the best care and attention while you’re gone. We have a doggie door so they can get out whenever they need to and be in our enclosed backyard. I currently work from home with lots of flexibility!! I might run to the gym or to the store but your pup will be covered. My husband and I are a team and love animals! We live on 11 acres. So plenty of space to roam with several fenced in kennel areas as well as wide open area to play and run.
“Taylor was a wonderful caretaker for our golden retriever. She kept us informed and sent pictures of his well-being. She was very patient with him even though he had separation issues. We needed a place for our pup since we were spending the night at Omni Homestead nearby. If you find yourself in the same situation, don’t hesitate to contact Taylor.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
95% of sitters in Vesuvius 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 Vesuvius 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 Vesuvius.
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 Vesuvius. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Vesuvius 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.
