“This was the most effortless experience I have ever had in having someone take care of my two dogs. From the beginning request to the dropping off of my dogs back home, it was so over the top pleasant and easy. I can’t wait to have Chaoran and her family take care of my dogs again!!”
“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”
“Last minute booking. Walter is super friendly and met us last minute to see how our dogs would interact. He kept our dogs for the weekend and sent tons of pictures and kept an open line of communication. Our dogs seem to love their stay! This is our first Rover experience!! Walter made it a great one!”

She consistently sent me pictures and videos throughout the 3 days that I boarded my dog with her, She let me do a meet and great, she updated me throughout the day, and was fast to communicate with! If you’re looking for someone who truly will care for your dog as their own and will update you with pictures and videos throughout the day. Jackelin is the one for you!! Cooper will definitely be returning! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much Jackelin!”

We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”

Katee is AMAZING! Hands down best experience for my dog Sturgill. She got back to me super fast, took him at the last minute, kept him an extra day, and made everything for me as easy possible. Katee is clearly a dog lover, and I know my dog was thrilled to get to play with her own cute dogs. She sent me amazing pictures and was always snuggling him. I would use her services over and over again
David & Deitra are our go-to babysitters for our 6-year-old Shiba Inu, Mochi. In fact, Mochi LOVES staying with David and Deitra so much that when we arrive at their house, he’s pulling on his leash to get through their front door as soon as possible. Most recently, Mochi stayed with D&D for 13 days while my husband and I were out of the country on vacation. They were communicative throughout, sending at least 1 photo update each day. I could tell Mochi was comfortable and happy his whole stay, and my we didn’t have a single worry our whole time away. Mo spent his days on fun walks, sunbathing in their large fenced-in backyard, and unwinding with them in the evenings. We so appreciate D&D's accommodating our dog's personality - he is dog-reactive and can be quite difficult to walk due to his stubborn personality. They always take it in stride and we can tell how they love our dog like he's their own!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Ronda! 🐾❤️ From the beginning, I felt comfortable and confident knowing that Ronda was in good hands. She took great care of her, and I truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and love she gave her during her stay. Thank you so much for taking care of Ronda and treating her so well. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible to take care of their pets. We will definitely be booking with her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you for your excellent service! 🐶❤️
First time using rover. I was looking for a in home dog sitter for my dog for 1 week. So i was recommended by a friend to download the Rover app for first time instead of boarding at a facility because of his age. I am So pleased with Sarahi, She did so amazing with my senior dog. He had so much love and attention & cuddles. I was also sent daily pictures of my dog Doing different activities. She did such an amazing job tending to our dog booger. We will definitely be using her services again ❤️ thank you Sarahi for looking after Booger
Carolina went above and beyond for our dog, Sasha. Sasha is older and gets frightened easily- she wound up having bad anxiety during this visit. Carolina was in regular contact with us, giving us updates, and even cooked rice and chicken when Sasha was having gastro issues. We really appreciated Carolina’s attention and kindness and would heartily recommend her.
Daniel took great care of my little dachshund! He is older, has daily timed medication needs, and has terrible separation anxiety. Daniel was able to handle it all with no problems. He went above and beyond sending cute pics and giving me updates. My little guy came home happy and calm. I could tell he’d gotten a lot of attention while I was away. I would definitely rebook!
I was able to do a meet and greet with Iris and she was very communicative and friendly. She clearly loves animals and I had no issues or concerns with leaving my puppy with her. My puppy was well taken care of and I would use Iris again if needing a sitter for my puppy.
Ivy was very attentive and caring for my fur baby. She sent me pics and videos nearly everyday and made sure I was always up to date on the status of Gizell. I especially appreciated that she requested a meet & greet prior to the drop off date to make all parties feel secured. It was my first time using Ivy’s services, we had a few minor hiccups but you can tell her genuine passion and love for animals immediately, I will definitely use again as Gizell came home as happy as when I left her so I know she had a great time. Thank you Ivy!!

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 West Gate 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 West Gate.
<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 West Gate 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.
