“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!”

“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”

“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”

“This is my first timing using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with the service Yan provided. My dog is recovering from a neck wound and Yan took great care of her. Yan took her on long walk everyday and Beibei loved them! Will not hesitate to book Yan again!”

“Justice was wonderful for Sammy, and super understanding of changed plans, uncertainty, and people other than myself dropping off and picking up my pup .. I would have understood if she didn't want to deal with it all, but everything worked out and she was extremely gracious and friendly, and great with communication. I look forward to having her watch Sammy in the future !”


“Shannon is exceptional!! Our pup loves being with her and her family and she's always well taken care of. Shannon sent photos and videos and we can tell that our girl loves her (ears back, smiley face, stubby Frenchie tail wagging). Shannon is a great communicator, organized, friendly, accommodating, and overall, just wonderful!! Thank you Shannon, for taking such good care of our girl again. We had no worries at all on our trip!! We appreciate you! :)”

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. 🐾🤍
About: Hi! My name is Robert, and I’m a proud dad of two little ones and a dog dad to two pit bull mixes. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and playtime, or boarding (when it’s the right fit), I’m here to help. I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends to accommodate your needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! My schedule is flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your animals or pups. Whether it’s a walk or drop in visit, they’ll be taken care of. I’ll treat your animals with the utmost care. I can follow all instructions if your pet has special needs. Whether your pet is big or small.
“Sheena was amazing! She responded quickly whenever I messaged. She greeted us with a smile and was very happy with our dogs. She stayed in touch while we were on vacation. She communicated with us about how the dogs were doing. I am happy that we had our dogs with Sheena and will definitely have her watch our dogs again.”

“Victoria is so personable and puts you at ease the minute you meet her. Max stayed with Victoria for over a week and he received excellent care and came home very happy. We received updates with pictures and we were so happy to receive them while away. I highly recommend her to care for your pet whether it is daycare or boarding. Victoria is 10/10 and we will definitely use her again.”

“It was my first time with using Rover and my dogs seemed to love being there and looked like they were having so much fun! They sent me updates and photos! I will definitely be taking my dogs back.”

“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”

About: I’ve been a proud pet owner my entire adult life, with a special place in my heart for large breeds like pitbulls, malinois, bloodhounds, and bulldogs. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities — from high-energy working dogs to laid-back couch companions. In 2019, I founded a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue focused primarily on bully breeds. Through that work, I cared for dogs of all ages — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — many with behavioral or medical needs. I gained hands-on experience with training, medication administration, socialization, and rehabilitation, all while ensuring each dog felt safe, loved, and understood. In 2023, I transitioned the rescue to my amazing team so I could focus on providing more individualized, one-on-one care through pet sitting. I bring the same dedication, structure, and compassion to every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs calm companionship, structured walks, or just someone who understands their unique quirks, they’ll be in good hands with me. ❤️ I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, which means I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m typically only away from home for a couple of hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of company, playtime, and supervision. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, weekend stay, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Consistency, comfort, and connection are always my priorities. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up for comfort, with plenty of room for lounging, play, and outdoor breaks. Because of my background running a dog rescue, I’m very experienced with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. I make sure each dog has the right balance of attention, activity, and rest, following their individual needs and routines. I’m home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule, so pets are never left alone for long. You can trust that your dog will be safe, supervised, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Brianna was amazing with our puppy! Our puppy had so much fun and she sent us tons of pictures of her relaxing. She definitely treats the pups in her care like her own. I highly recommend her!”

“I had contacted Michael last minute due to a different caregiver having to cancel the day of drop off. He graciously allowed me to book with him. Michael was very responsive to my messages and took very good care of my dog.”


“This was my first time boarding my dog and leaving him for more than 2 days. I was extremely nervous but knew the moment I left my London he was in good hands. Tamara and Lucky and their home is a small dogs paradise. Receiving pictures and updates daily gave me piece of mind. We will definitely be using Tamara in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby.”

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 Virginiatown 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 Virginiatown.
<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 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 , 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 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.
