“Fantastic!! We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our two Yorkies received, and getting daily updates was a great comfort….will definitely use their service again!”
“Peter took lots of pics and gave me lots of updates on how my dog was doing. It looks like she got lots of love and was happy in every pic. Plus he has super sweet dogs for your dog to play with. I would use Peter and his family as dog sitters again.”
“Jenny made our dogs feel so at home and gave updates to us while we were away. Leaving for 2 weeks internationally took alot of trust in those caring for our dogs. Jenny went over and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our vacation and didn't have to worry about our dogs. From enrichment activities, to walks, to cuddles, - our dogs couldn't have had it better. We would 100% have Jenny care for our dogs again. Thanks Jenny!”
“Charmaine is so good with our rambunctious Great Dane pup. We all just love her and are so thankful she was available to board her over a holiday weekend :-)”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“My dog had a great time! Elizabeth took great care of my attention needy husky. She sent pictures and kept me updated and was very flexible with pick up times. Incredibly thankful!”
“Lorelei is amazing! She makes sure that my dog eats (which has been a problem when he is away from home), he gets plenty of exercise and enjoys spending time with other dogs. Lorelei really takes the worry out of leaving our sweet boy. Highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“This is my best time leaving our Charlie with a complete stranger. I personally met Mana and liked her immediately. She seemed like a kind and gentle person, soft spoken and respectful. I was a bit afraid that Charlie might have little issues with her dog Iris. To my surprise they both got along well. Thank you Mana for updating and sending pictures and videos of Charlie. I will definitely come back to you. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie💕”
“Conor took great care of our puppy. He regularly updated us with photos and videos that kept us close to our baby. He was kind and very responsive to our messages. I would highly recommend him to anyone.:)”
“Kevin and Kandice were fantastic! Our little pup is pretty reactive generally but they clearly know how to work with dogs and put him at ease right away. They were great communicators, were able to be flexible about pickup time, and just overall exceeded our expectations on every front. We will definitely call them again!”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Fantastic! Lauren and Ryan cared for our dogs like they were one of their own. The dogs had so much fun they didn't want to go home. Lauren provided lots of pictures and updates every day. I liked that our dogs were able to socialize with their dogs in a big backyard. Our dogs settled right in with Lauren and Ryan after a long day of play and fun.”
“SJ was wonderful with my older dog, Schroeder. He is quite anxious and SJ made sure he was comfortable and settled in, and I was comforted by the pics and updates she sent.”
“Tanya had Zoey for a long weekend and she clearly had a blast! Zoey and Tanya’s dog Mango are best buds and rule the neighborhood. What more can you ask for? Tanya was amazing as always, responsive, hilarious, and treated Zoey like her own. A million thanks!”
“Ruslana is very sweet communicative and accommodating! I appreciated her being available to watch my baby Lucky on short notice. Loved all the pictures she sent ☺️🤍”
“Kathy and Jeff took such great care of our dog that our only concern was how she’d react to coming home. She was busy busy busy! She had tons of opportunities to be social, she got a lot of exercise and Kathy even helped us narrow down foods that she isn’t tolerating well. We got updates as much as we wanted and I know Dory has been well loved.”
“Stacey took excellent care of my golden and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved, and playing with her adorable goldens! I would absolutely book with Stacey again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia
Alisha & Joshua kept Harvey for 8 nights. This was the first time we have left Harvey away from home since he developed heart disease. We were very impressed with the way Alisha and Josh handled the meet and greet. They were very patient and attentive to our extensive directions for care, and the administration of his medications. Harvey approved of their son almost immediately by kissing him on the nose. It was obvious that they loved dogs. We think they could tell how nervous we were, and they kindly shared a photo and note every day which really helped to relax us. Whenever we sent a question, their response was quick. We would give them the highest recommendation!
This is the second time Matt's watched my 2 dogs and he was great with them. He's very attentive about details and let me know when my elder dog had irritated an eye or was rubbing her ear a lot (totally normal for her). They seemed relaxed and happy when they came home.
We appreciate you guys so much! Lola and lily are so happy in your care and I appreciate all the love you and your family gave to the doggies. Thank you for the communication and I he daily photos of the doggies. You and your family are the best..thank you so much again. Lola and lily love you guys
Gabrielle is truly awesome! She took my big buddy in super last minute when my regular sitter bailed, gave him endless love and walks and I can tell he had a blast with her!!!! She is super laid back and very patient (my guy did not want to go into the house at first but was bribed with salami lol) I’m so glad we got to meet her and will for sure trust her with my fur baby again! <3
My pup has hung out with Zi & Orion several times, now. Orion & my dog are both mellow, submissive types, so they do well together. Zi is great! When I dropped Lolo off, she ran out of my car & into Zi's house, which she ONLY does when she loves & feels very comfortable with someone. I feel lucky to have found Zi.

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 Virginia 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 Virginia.
<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 Virginia 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 WA 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.
