“We have had our dog stay with Grant several times and always been more than impressed. Cooper has a great time running with the pack and playing with the other dogs, and he truly loves Grant. We receive some pretty impressive photographs each time Cooper stays with him.”
“First overnight for our puppy with Ruby and her family! As with the last time Cusco spent time at Ruby’s home, he got so much love, attention, and playtime. I received many photos and videos while we were away, always making us feel comfortable and giving updates! I know Cusco is already looking forward to going back :) thank you, Ruby!”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Alyssa F. was great as a dog sitter. We hired her to care for our 15-year-old dog, Dusty, from November 1 to 5, 2025. She provided excellent service. Alyssa communicated well, sending us updates and photos of Dusty as requested, as he explored her gardens and relaxed. The pictures showed that Dusty was comfortable and happy with her. We will definitely book her again in the future! Thank you, Alyssa!”
“I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!”
“Sohui was the very best! I could not ask for a better person to care for my little Yorkie. Maycee loved her and all the animals she cares for. She quite obviously loves what she does. Maycee has stayed with her for an extended period twice and kept me updated daily with photos. Maycee has never been away from me over night or an extended period of time. I was nervous yes, but after seeing how happy Maycee was I felt comfortable leaving her with Sohui. She is now my go to fur baby sitter. Thank Rover for having caretakers like Sohui. And thank you Sohui for loving my pup.”
“Jen and her husband are the best! Top three reasons we liked them so much: 1. They were so sweet to our pup and seemed to really enjoy her company. 2. They asked great questions before we dropped off, worked with us to plan a meet up beforehand, and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. 3. Their home is peaceful, clean, and I felt confident our pup would be safe.”
“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”
“Pam was awesome with Otis! Our normally anxious little fellow immediately warmed right up to her. Pam has a calm, relaxed personality and is very experienced with caring for dogs. She more than met our expectations, paying close attention to all of our instructions, taking Otis for daily walks and even allowing him to stay in his normal routine by sleeping in bed with her. Pam's home is very clean and tidy and yet also dog friendly and pet welcoming. She reported Otis took a real liking to her husband as well. Pam kept in contact with us, sent a picture and we felt confident that he was in good hands! We will definitely be booking Pam again. So glad we found her!”
“Audria was amazing with our pup Juno! She took such great care of her and made sure we felt totally at ease while we were away. Super communicative and sent lots of pics and video updates, which we really appreciated. Juno was clearly happy and in great hands. Would definitely book Audria again!”
“Jackie and her family cared for our pet just as though he were part of the family. She communicated with us daily while we were away. He came home happy and relaxed.. we will definitely book with her again for our next trip away from home.”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. We’ve raised dogs of our own, fostered and helped rescue dogs, and now provide pet sitting and boarding for local families. We have experience with senior dogs, energetic pups, larger breeds, shy or anxious dogs, medications, and pets with specific routines or needs. What makes our care different is that pet sitting truly is a family effort. Your pup isn’t simply dropped off with a sitter—they become part of our household while they’re here. We also only board one family’s pets at a time, allowing us to give them plenty of individual attention, affection, supervision, and a more comfortable home-away-from-home experience. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. Since there are several of us helping, there is typically someone home with the pups throughout the day, giving them lots of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and supervision. We work together to make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special instructions are followed as closely as possible. Having multiple family members involved also gives us flexibility and allows your fur babies to receive consistent care rather than spending long stretches of time alone. We want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable leaving their fur babies with our family. Before a stay, we learn as much as possible about each pup’s personality, feeding schedule, potty routine, medications, sleeping preferences, behavior around other dogs, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. We have two friendly small Goldendoodles of our own, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and only board one client families pups at a time, so our home never feels like a crowded boarding facility. We offer meet-and-greets beforehand and require pets staying with us to be up to date on vaccinations. We can also accommodate crate-trained dogs and follow each family’s preferred routine as closely as possible. Everyone in our family understands that every dog is different, so we adjust our care to each pup’s individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, supervised home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and outdoor time so your pets can feel like part of our family until you come home. 🐾🤍

“Robert watched my pup for a couple of nights and he did great. He got to play with other dogs, went to the dog park, and got walked. Even better was that he got lots of cuddles. I trust Robert and will be using him 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.
94% of sitters in Virginiatown 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 Virginiatown 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 Virginiatown.
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 Virginiatown. On Rover:

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 Virginiatown 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 CA 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.
