“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Robert and Connie were amazing! They had Olly for 4 days and one morning and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I was a little nervous about trying Rover, but I’m so grateful for such a great experience. They were very accommodating and asked questions to ensure your dog is getting the best care. I was confident I was leaving Olly in great hands. I would absolutely ask Connie and Robert to watch Olly again the next time I go somewhere!”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“Tatiana is the BEST! She is so good to my Boston Terrier and her dog and cat are too. Stevie gets her own fun vacation when she goes to Tatiana’s house and I get fun pics that let me know she is doing well. I’m so lucky to have found her.”
“Aisha really rates as a 10. She welcomed my furry baby with open arms. She and her family treated Mikey like one of their own. Her beautiful personality showed such love and care for what she does, giving furry baby parents time away. When i shut the door, i was at peace feeling Mikey was in great hands. And when i picked him up, i could tell he was happy. Also, as an additional benefit, their sweet little dog Oscar was a great playmate for Mikey. It was a great experience! Thank you AICHA AND ROVER! IT WAS A GREAT MATCH!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I cannot imagine it being a better experience. Katie and Adam were simply amazing. After our meet and greet I knew Murphy (our 9 year old mini labradoodle) would be in good hands but wow, he was on vacation at a 5 star resort. They took such great care of him - took him on many walks, loved him and just all the way around treated him like part of their family. I actually think he might be a little depressed about being back home!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Helen watching our energetic maltipoo, Yuki! Yuki is full of energy and loves lots of attention, and Helen handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to keep them happy and engaged. Yuki came home relaxed and content, which says a lot! We really appreciated the updates and photos during the stay—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Helen for anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter for their pup!!”
“Being new to the community and with minimal support I instantly became more at ease with the consistent communication. I highly recommend and will book services again and will recommend others as well! Thank you for being good to Romeo!”
“Kristen is the best dog sitter. She treated my Cavalier King Charles like the King that he is. I can't recommend Kristen enough to take great care of your fur baby :)”
“We cannot recommend John and Joanna highly enough! They took wonderful care of our two dachshunds and went above and beyond in every way. Their communication was outstanding, we received regular updates and fun photos that reassured us our pups were happy and in great hands while we were away. John and Joanna’s attentiveness and compassion truly stood out, especially during a thunderstorm. Knowing our pups are afraid of thunder, they took the time to check in on them and offer extra cuddles, which meant the world to us. They also made sure our dog received his daily skin treatments, which we deeply appreciated. John and Joanna set the standard for what pet care should look like. Warm, responsive, and truly dedicated.”
About: Hello! My name is Ricardo and I am 27 years old. When I was a child I grew up in a home taking care of several animals. In my teens I had a poodle and a cat. No job is too big or too small. I have already had the opportunity to take care of 4 adorable puppies in my previous apartment. I currently have more availability for your pet. I'm looking to spend my free time doing what I like the most. I will take care of your beloved pet in your home following all your desires and needs! I have a part-time job in the afternoons on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I am ready to receive your pets on the days that I am available, play with them and take them for a walk as many times as necessary. Give them all the necessary love and security that they are in a safe place for their stay, we love to go for a walk and generate trust between your pet and me. Make them play and fill them with hugs and kisses.
“Ana is an amazing dog sitter. It was my dog's first time staying with her, and she went above and beyond to ensure he felt right at home. She took the time to share regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for her care and attention!”
“I couldn’t be happier with this dog boarder! She is extremely kind and clearly loves what she does. Her home is in an absolutely clean environment, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog received very good care and came home happy and relaxed. What really surprised my husband and me was our dog’s cool attitude when we went to pick him up—unlike at earlier places, where he would rush toward us anxiously. He has never been so relaxed and comfy at any of the previous boarders’ homes. 10/10. Thank you, Victoria!"”
“Omar was fantastic with our two dogs during a two-week stay. He sent lots of photos throughout and kept us fully updated the entire time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He was consistently responsive to messages and clearly took great care of both dogs. We highly recommend Omar and will definitely book him again!”
“My dogs are happy to stay at Karen's. She is great at playing with them, walking them, and snuggling them. She is easy to communicate with, and she sends lots of pictures so you know everyone is doing great all the time.”
“Ella was great, she was very attentive to our two high energy dogs. She went above and beyond to keep them happy even keeping them calm through the night. We really appreciate the job Ella did, and will definitely use her again.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are fantastic pet sitters. They treated our Huskey like family and she loved her stay. I would definitely rebook! Thanks-for taking such good care of our Lily.”

Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.
Ali was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with me throughout Bruno’s stay and sent plenty of pictures, which I really appreciated. She took great care of Bruno, and I could tell he had an amazing time! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ali again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
My pups had an amazing time with Deborah and she is our regular sitter. I know Oreo and Charlie are well cared for and they have the best time playing at Deborah’s. We are so blessed to have met her and she is the best sitter by far I’ve ever trusted to watch my dogs. We love her!
Jenny was a wonderful host and took care of Rio , our one-year-old Frenchie. She communicated frequently with photos and videos of Rio and kept us updated. Above all, we could see how Jenny and her family , including young kids genuinely cared for Rio and also enjoyed his company.
Rasleen is amazing. She was so kind to take our Simba last minute due to an unplanned trip. She took such beautiful care of him and sent us pictures of him throughout the day. She was very loving to our Simba and felt so peaceful leaving him with her. Thank you so much Rasleen. We will definitely stay in touch for our future trips.
Kristen was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my senior dog in the hands of somebody who is not a friend or family member and I was so worried. But from the moment I left, Kristen mitigated all of my fears, sending me tons of photos, videos, and updates about Ellie and how well she was acclimating to her new babysitter. She even did a FaceTime with Ellie and I which was a great way for my fur baby to hear my voice and feel like I was there 😂 I can’t recommend Kristen enough!
I just can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Katrina. It was just like leaving my two sibling Schnauzers with trusted family. It is obvious that she loves dogs and my pups were instantly comfortable around her. Katrina asked many questions about the pups prior to their stay, so I was very comfortable that she was very invested in their well being. She also has many friends and family that came to love on the pups, and I know they were well comforted, taken care off and entertained. She sent me many pictures and updates to assure me that the pups were comfortable in their surroundings. She lives in such a beautiful area with many nice walking trails which they loved. I will definitely be using Katrina in the future as my pet sitter!!
This was my first time leaving my little girl and I was a bit anxious about it. From the time I had my meet and greet with Jennifer to the time I picked her up Jennifer has been super flexible and very responsive. She sent me the greatest pics and allowed me to enjoy the vacation without a worry. I have a feeling she was sad to go home 😊.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Waxpool 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 Waxpool 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 Waxpool.
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 Waxpool. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Waxpool 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.
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.
