“Danielle was amazing — 6 stars! She went above and beyond and was able to accommodate us on short notice. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism, and I highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
“Deb was absolutely wonderful! She was super responsive and agreed to a last minute request for doggy daycare, which was a lifesaver. She shared pictures throughout the day of my dog Fae having a blast with Deb’s labs, who were incredibly sweet and playful. Fae didn’t even want to get in the car to leave. We got to bring a very happy, very tired dog back home 😊. I really hope that Deb can watch Fae again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience with pets! I have worked with a wide range of dogs of all ages and breeds, and I am adept at customizing my care to meet the specific needs of each individual pet. I care for them by feeding, providing fresh water, taking them for walks, administering medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime for the pets. I am a recent grad working remote from home so I have a lot of time in my day to love and care for your pet(s)! I understand how important it is to build a bond with pets and provide a comfortable environment for them which is essential to ensure their happiness and health while their owners are away. I care for them by feeding, providing fresh water, taking them for walks, administering medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime for the pets.
“Samantha was great! Very responsive and great to work with! Finn had a great time and is clearly exhausted from his big day (which means a relaxing night for us with the puppy!). Thank you for taking great care of Finn!”
“Leslie - Thank You for providing wonderful stay for the boys 🐾🐾. That goodbye kiss to you from Ezekiel was a sincere “I really like you” ♥️ Appreciate your videos and pics during the stay. I hope we can get on your schedule again — the word is out — you are amazing!! 🥹♥️😍🐾You are the best !!!!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 23. I love to pet and feed them. I treat dogs as part of the family. I am home full time and have plenty of time to care for dogs that need care. I also have two dogs of my own. We start our day at 6:30AM. I prepare and feed the dogs at 7AM, 12:00PM, and again at 5:00PM (If they are hungry). I let the dogs run in the yard for 30 minutes, after each feeding, i when the weather permits. We walk in the mornings, rhen again in the evenings. Dental treats and regular treats are given daily.
“Vidhi provided excellent care for our Jingles. She shared constant updates and pictures to show how he was adapting. He really seemed to enjoyed his stay with her and I will definitely use her service in the future.”
About: I’ve had a dogs all my life. My latest one passed last year.(miss him so much). I’m experienced in being with them. I can walk them, cuddle them and take care of them when you enjoy your vacation at peace. I work from home. So i can be with your fur ball at home. Monday to Friday. For Weekends we will have plan accordingly.Feel free to contact me with questions. I have a pretty sizable deck and fenced yard. So its very secure for the pet to run around and have some fun playing in the yard.
“Taylor was wonderful with our puppy! This was his very first time with a sitter, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She was patient, kind, and helped him warm up to her dogs quickly. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We feel confident about leaving him for boarding thanks to how well the day care went. Highly recommend!”
“Left Flash, my 5 year old Bichon under the care of Zach for a day and Zach was so responsive and sent regular updates about Flash. He took great care of Flash and we were assured that Flash would have had a great day with Zach. Thanks Zach and would recommend Zach.”
About: Now you can go away and relax during your stay, knowing that even though you'll miss them, you won't have to worry about your little furry loved ones, because they will be well cared for. I have 2 small dogs that I love a lot and I know the uneasy feeling you get when you have to consider the options of what to do with your pet/s when you go away. Well no worries, your small dog (dogs) can stay with us. They will feel right at home in a clean, comfortable house with lots of natural light, a large deck to relax on for fresh air as well as a cozy fenced in, nicely manicured back yard for plenty of safe outdoor play time with the two resident dogs of the house. I will also send you updates via text or email so you can see your baby is relaxed and having a good time. Your dog will also enjoy daily walks on a nice paved scenic walking path that passes directly behind my back yard. This path allows for leisurely strolls through the back of the community safely tucked away from high traffic streets and road noise. I may sit for 1-4 guest pups depending on the circumstances. Why I love dog sitting I grew up in a household that always had at least one dog but usually there would be two. With exception to a standard size poodle we once had, all our other dogs were small. Mostly we had Poodles but there was a time when we had two Miniature Pinschers. I'm now well into my 50's, and on my 50th birthday my husband decided it was a good idea to get me a puppy. (What was he thinking...lol...). Six months later I decided that my puppy needed a puppy. I cherish my two dogs. They make my heart smi Meet my pets Resident pets Frenchie ......a 3 year old 11 pound Maltipoo. Ozzie .......a 2 1/2 year old 6 pound Maltipoo. About my yard I have an aluminum fence around my back yard that is woven with deer netting to keep all the pups in that belong, while keeping other dogs and critters out. The yard is a nice size for several small size dogs to romp around in yet small enough that the dogs are never out of my line of sight. The yard is mostly grass with a small landscaped area filled with large pieces of bark, were dogs can dig and bury without getting dirty.There is a nice shade tree plus the overhang of my deck that provides constant shade as well as protection from the outside elements. There is also a small paved patio were the dogs can relax. You can access my backyard via my walkout basement door onto the patio.
About: I’ve had the pleasure to help my friends and family with their fur babies. They’ve put my trust in them by showing love and attention to their pups. We are very flexible with our time for the fur babies and adjust our routine if needed. My partner and I have a flexible schedule and work around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced backyard. My dog and always use a friend! Flexible to move things around the house for your pup, and to make them comfortable.
“Chae was so sweet and accommodating!!! I booked her to watch my dogs while we moved. I ran over by 3 hours of the original time and she happily said no worries, the pups are great. She was my hero!!! 🥰❤️”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waterfall commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
