“Karen was an exceptional sitter! From the initial meet and greet through the actual stay it could not have been better. Brody came home very happy and well exercised. I would not hesitate to book Karen if you have a need for a sitter or just to come walk your dog, she will exceed your expectations.”
“I would highly recommend Ellie! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family or close friends and it was stress free! Ellie sent regular updates and photos. She’s kind, loving and took extra great care of our sweet, needy and extra anxious pup. So glad we have a relatable back up now.”
“My 15 years old pet had a pet sitter for the first time, so I was understandably a little nervous. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Omaira and Isaac treated my dog with so much patience, kindness, and care. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind , and it was clear my dog was comfortable and well looked after. It's such a relief to know I have someone I can trust. I would gladly book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Paul & Terri took such good care of our dog, and communicated frequently and sent many pictures too. He was able to go outside frequently which makes him very happy.”
“Savannah is amazing. I could tell that my puppers was so happy in her care. She loved playing with her dogs and being outside in the fresh air. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog. I will be contacting her again.”
“What a God send! Janeen is such a kind and caring individual with obvious patience and compassion. She asked all kinds of follow up questions to make sure kitty would be as comfortable as possible in his home away from home. Janeen was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the day every day. The family even moved some items around to allow kitty to climb on and around freely. I wish I lived closer to this wonderful family as I would 100% use their services again. They were thoughtfully accommodating knowing we were already away from home on vacation and even made some suggestions for local activities my family and I could visit. Do not scroll pass this couples profile I highly recommend this home for your pet baby needs.”
“Dickson and Maria took great care of Zoe for us and were flexible when Mother Nature threw us a massive curveball on the other side of the country! They sent regular updates and pics and video of our tiny dog throughout her stay. Thank you!”
“Having NEVER left my puppies before, I was hesitant and nervous to do so. Shania eased my concerns from the very beginning. I was literally in contact with her multiple times before my puppies were even in her care. I'm happy to say, ALL WENT WELL!!! I highly recommend Shania and can't wait to use her services again.”
“Sandra is amazing. You can tell how much she loves animals. I had to go out of town for a week and she treated my puppy like he was her own. She was so good to him and took such great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind to know he was so well taken care of while I was away. She lives in a quiet neighborhood and has a great back yard. I would recommend Sandra 100%.”
“Sarah was great with my two babies. Her soft and gentle nature Made it easy from me to leave my cat and dog with her. They came back smiling and happy! Definitely will go with her from here on out with babysitting my precious fur babies.”
“MAGGIE AND HER FAMILY AND EINSTEIN ARE THE BEST!! My girlfriend and I are traveling and needed somewhere for my little pup to stay for a few hours pretty last minute. Maggie responded very quickly and was able to look after my Piper. Piper can get a little nervous around other dogs but Einstein was super gentle and sweet so she was just fine. Not only did Maggie take care of Piper, but so did her family, which Piper loved! She got so many snuggles from everyone and I have the pictures of it… which is another great thing about Maggie. She will send you pictures throughout your pups stay which I appreciated SO MUCH! I have never left Piper with anyone before so was very nervous about it. Getting picture updates was great and Piper looked so happy in every single one! And she really loved going for a walk with Maggie and Einstein! We don’t live in Williamsburg, but if I did, I would ask Maggie to look after Piper if I ever need to leave her. Thank you so much, Maggie and crew, for taking such good care of our girl - means more than you will ever know! Recommend 10/10, 5 stars! ⭐️”
“Our Ace truly enjoyed himself with Lana and her pup Tucker. She kept us up to date with Ace’s status during his 3 day stay. We would love for Ace to visit this family again for future boarding. We were very pleased!!”
About: My first ever job at the age of 12 was dog sitting in my neighborhood. I am a dog mom myself to a sweet high energy Boykin Spaniel. I have a dear love and passion for all animals and am excited to help take care of your sweet additions to your family! I work from home and have tons of flexibility to walk and check in on your pets at any time of the day! Or have your pets come hangout with me at my house! I have a large dog park in my neighborhood where your pups if allowed can roam and have fun! I work from home where your pet is allowed on my furniture to take a nap and cuddle!
About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer, dog daycare attendant, and also a dog trainer.
“Ashton was very patient with my anxious spaniel and managed to make her feel secure and confident enough to play with her own dog. It was such a relief to know that my dog felt happy, playful, and secure away from home. I’ll certainly call on her in the future for pet sitting and perhaps even playtime for my dog, who now seems eager to make new canine friends. This development has been a real breakthrough for my once-timid and fearful spaniel.”

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 Wake 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 Wake.
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.
You and your Wake 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.
