“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“1st time using Rover and was looking for someone to watch our Benji while I went out of town for a few days. I found Lorena based on her review and I see why she has a 5 star rating. Lorena was quick to respond to questions, was very flexible and really took care of Benji. She set up a meet and great first and we had a chance to meet her family, and they are all animal lovers. Benji seemed to be very comfortable with everyone and we felt comfortable leaving him. While I was on my trip Lorena doing a great job keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She took care of Benji like he was her own and he even learned a few things.”
“Bodie stayed with Phillip for two weeks while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. Being so far away from home, it gave me real peace of mind knowing Bodie was in great hands. Phillip regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I was able to see that Bodie was happy, comfortable, and doing well. Bodie especially enjoyed having the large backyard to roam around in. One of the things I appreciated most was that he wasn’t placed in a kennel like he had been with a previous boarder. I know having the freedom to relax in a home environment made him much more comfortable and helped reduce his anxiety. It’s not easy leaving your dog for two weeks, especially when you’re far away, but I never had to worry about whether Bodie was being well cared for. Phillip took great care of him, and I would absolutely trust him with Bodie again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our sweet goldendoodle, Farley! Heather went above and beyond, caring for our old boy better than we could have ever imagined. She kept us updated with tons of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Farley was clearly loved, pampered, and treated like family. We will definitely be booking with Heather again—she’s the best!”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Christopher for 4.5 days, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism. From the moment I dropped Titus off, I felt at ease knowing he was in capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend Christopher to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog care. We’re grateful for the wonderful care Titus received and will definitely book again.”
“Love.love.love Kimmie, and so does Zeus. She kept him for 5days while I was out of town. She spoiled him and sent me pictures and updates. He played so well with the other dogs. Now that he is back home, he looks a bit sad. I think he prefers living w her than Us!! I highly recommend her for ur dog sitting needs!!”
“Tahliyah was super accommodating with a last minute boarding stay! She sent pictures and gave me multiple updates on how my pup was doing. When I came to pick Doobz up he didn’t want to leave! Would definitely book again and recommend her services to all!!!”
“Sarah and Jacob are so great! Duncan loves going to their house. Sarah and Jacob are so reliable and communication with them is seamless. We will always have Sarah and Jacob watch our pup.”
“Laura was amazing with my dogs and amazing with all my request or accommodations needed. I would definitely use her again in the future and every time she’s available she is my go to sitter. I recommend Laura to anyone with any type of dog. Thank you Laura.”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Owen seemed to really enjoy spending time with Brianna’s goldendoodles. He was well cared for and got plenty of play time with some other goldendoodles. The photos I received radiated nothing but love. Thank you for caring for my dog.”
“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”
About: Hi there! Backed by a professional background in grooming and large-scale facility work, I offer your pup the kind of specialized care they deserve. My small-scale, personal approach ensures every dog gets dedicated attention in a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home setting. Guests enjoy a fully climate-controlled indoor space featuring their own designated area and personal cot to relax and sleep soundly. Plus, a built-in doggy door gives them 24/7 access to a secure, 3,000-square-foot outdoor run within my fully fenced yard (cameras coming soon!). Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your fur baby stays comfy, cozy, and completely pampered. With years of experience in large-scale facilities caring for over 150 dogs at once, we bring big-facility safety standards to a warm, personal setting where your pup is always our top priority. We provide around-the-clock care in a secure, home-based setting tailored specifically for canine comfort. Unlike high-volume commercial facilities, our setup limits capacity to ensure every dog gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a cozy resting spot.
“Edith is nothing short of absolutely amazing! We had a very last-minute situation with me going out of town for work and my husband tied up with commitments he couldn’t miss. We signed up for Rover and immediately matched with Edith. Not only was she able to accommodate our last-minute boarding and sitting request, but she went above and beyond. We received the sweetest pictures and videos of our puppy, Rosie, which warmed our hearts and gave us peace of mind. With how busy my work has been the last few months, I’m only just now able to sit down and truly thank her for ALL she did—including keeping us consistently updated on how Rosie was doing. On top of that, we faced another unexpected challenge during the stay, and Edith once again came to the rescue. Our family is forever grateful that our paths crossed with hers, and we will be using Edith for ALL of our puppy’s needs moving forward. Amazing care, Edith—thank you!”

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.

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.
96% of sitters in Welchs 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 Welchs 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 Welchs.
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 Welchs. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Welchs 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.
