“Emmanuel was wonderful! He took great care of our pup and sent a ton of pictures. He was very communicative and made us feel safe about leaving our pup in his care. Will definitely be using him again!”
“My pups were very well taken care of during their stay! From the first conversation with Brian I felt comfortable leaving my fur babies in his care; meeting up and letting the dogs roam and get familiar was truly icing on the cake! Immediately my dogs explored his home as if it was our own (which NEVER happens) and they didn't bark at Bob or act uncomfortable while we were there. I got to know Brian and Bob and raved about the two of them to my husband as soon as I got home. Brian sent us tons of pictures during their time away from home, which kept me and my husband's worries at bay. Upon picking them up they were happy to see us but definitely were sad to have to leave. I'll most definitely be using Brian's services again in the future! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Brittany took such good care of my dog and cat! Junie had the time of her life playing and lounging while staying with Brittany and her lovely family. Callie Cat, who is normally quite reserved, was all purrs and cuddles. We have definitely found new friends and.will be back!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“First time using Rover. Shane was magnificent and my dog is so upbeat. Definitely will use him again. He sent constant updates and pictures of how my dog was going throughout the stay.”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
“Andrea and TJ were absolutely wonderful with Domino! They took great care of him for the whole weekend, and I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. They were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free for me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog, and I would absolutely leave Domino with them again! 🐶❤️”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Jona! She recently cared for our two 4-year-old pugs, Ozzy and Otis, and it was truly the best pet-sitting experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, Jona went above and beyond. She kept us updated frequently with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every update that our pugs were not only being well cared for, but also genuinely loved. Both Ozzy and Otis can be a handful at times, but Jona handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Coming home, we were greeted by two very happy, relaxed pugs—which says everything you need to know. Jona treated them as if they were her own, and that level of care means the world to us. We wholeheartedly recommend Jona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. She has set the standard so high that we can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our boys!”
“Millie had the best time staying with Cat and Nikhit this weekend! She clearly had a blast and was so spoiled, I think she was sad to come back home with me. They were also so understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick up later than anticipated. Thank you for taking good care of my girl and for all the sweet updates!”
“Relaxed. I felt so very calm and relaxed know my little guy was safe and happy. I highly recommend Fnu and Eric to anyone who loves their pet. BTW they were very flexible considering I messed up our schedule… Thank you Fnu and Eric!”
“India was absolutely the best caretaker of my boy for the weekend! She sent frequent updates and really treated him like her own. Even sent him home with a goodie bag of treats! I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Vincent is a wonderful pet sitter! His home and his dogs are warm and welcoming - and my dog, Bubbles, absolutely LOVED running around in his fenced in backyard. Vincent sent regular updates during Bubbles' stay which put my mind at ease as this was Bubbles first stay away from home since we adopted him. I would highly recommend his services. In fact, I've already booked Vincent again to watch Bubbles during an upcoming trip.”
“Michelle and Terry took great care of our pup. They were quick to respond, update and sent us photos and video to let us know how things were going. They have a big yard, which was a plus since our Golden is a big boy. We will be reaching out again.”
“I can't recommend Alissa and Rich enough for watching my boy! From start to finish, they went above and beyond. They kept me updated with tons of photos and cute little anecdotes about Abe's adventures, which made me feel so reassured and at ease knowing he was in great hands. They were incredibly kind, flexible, and attentive throughout the entire stay, and it was clear they genuinely cared about his well-being and wanted to make sure he was having a good time while I was away. Abe had an amazing time with them, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Alissa and Rich—you made my trip stress-free knowing Abe was so well taken care of! Will definitely book again!”
“Max stayed with Jason and Jeremy for over two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed his time hanging with other dogs. We had such peace of mind knowing he was being exercised and loved as if he were at home. Thank you!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Alissa and Rich were fantastic! They provided great care for our dog Beau and kept us updated with tons of photos every day. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved running in, and we loved seeing all the great pictures of him enjoying his time at their home. We felt very comfortable with them handling our dogs needs, including giving medications and dealing with our dogs unique eccentricities. They were also really communicative and flexible during our pick up and drop off when we were traveling. We can’t recommend Alissa and Rich enough!
Jade had a great time at Julia's house and I know because she came home TIRED which is always a wonder if you have a bully breed. Julia was flexible with drop off / pick up and super communicative with daily photo updates. She was also good at noting minor instructions, such as taking Jade's harness off when not in use. Would definitely have her watch Jade again!
First time having our frenchie Boone board so I was hesitant and anxious and I couldn't be happier with Russ & Andra! They took such good care of him and sent me updates all day. They have a great yard for the pups to play in and I could tell Boone was so happy. I would definitely use their services again. They are dog people and enjoy taking care of them.
Ashley is the best for caring for my pup Rosie. Ashley is loveable, caring, professional, responsive, and very considerate. As long as Ashley stays on Rover - she is the gal I will call on when I need a sitter for Rosie. Very trustworthy and reliable. I am a repeat client :) I highly recommend Ashley for her services....plus she also has a sweet pup named Cosmo and she cares for you pup like it is her own.
Kiana was super sweet to our dog! She sent us pictures and updates all throughout our vacation. Her experience with big dogs and fenced yard ultimately lead us to chose her for our boarding, but her communication and thoughtful care for our dog will bring us back again and again! We highly recommend Kiana!
Erin watched our dog, Penny, for 10 days while we were out of town. I asked to meet her and her pups before arranging such a long stay and she encouraged it :) This set my mind at ease being able to meet in person first. At drop off, I shared I was feeling a bit anxious leaving Penny for a longer stay and Erin offered to communicate often. Each day, she touched base with me at least once with pictures, videos, and messages about how Penny was doing. This made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thanks Erin!

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 Wellington 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 Wellington.
<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 Wellington 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 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.
