“Susan is not only a wonderful sitter, she loves pets like as if they were her own! Susan has been sitting my 2 long haired cats since March when I had an unexpected death in the family. I could not find anyone to sit for my 2 cats with such short notice, I was in a pinch. Susan came to my rescue and responded quickly! I'm till this day very grateful to her! When I came back from my trip and picked my cats up from her, I had a hard time getting them back in their carrier! They didn't want to leave! I was so happy that my cats felt comfortable with Susan. I didn't mind them not wanting to leave and giving me a run around her house for half an hour trying to get them in their carrier. Susan is loving, caring and very knowledgeable about cats and she has given me pointers on challenges I have had with my cats, so she is not just a person that watches your pets. I'm very happy I found Susan, she is wonderful and my cats love her! I highly recommend her services!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up in a home with three cats and regularly pet sat for dogs and cats. Today, I have an 80-pound dog and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of finding a reliable, caring sitter who treats your pets like family. I have a flexible schedule and work from home on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I’m also home on the weekends and can arrange my schedule around your pet’s stay to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. My home has a fenced in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and play. I also have two cats who can be kept completely separate from visiting pets as needed. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether we’re going for walks, playing with favorite toys, spending time in the backyard, or simply relaxing together, I want your pup to feel right at home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind and makes your dog’s time away from you as happy and stress free as possible! I will plan my schedule around your pet’s stay so they aren’t left alone.

“Pamela and Paul (and their dog Marlowe) are fantastic! They took amazing care of our pup, Riley. We did a meet and greet before our booking, and it was so nice to meet them and see how our pups would get along. It’s clear that they take this job very seriously and truly care about the pups as if they were their own. They have a lovely home with a fenced in backyard that the pups can run around in, and they let Riley sleep in their bed. 😊 Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for years, and I have 8 years of pet care experience. As a longtime dog owner, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I know how important patience, consistency, and attention are to keeping them happy and safe. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, company while you’re away, or some extra TLC, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m excited to meet local pups and help give their people peace of mind! I have a flexible schedule and am looking forward to caring for pets in my local community. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on availability. I’m happy to communicate with you ahead of time to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained and their needs are met. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure pets have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I’ll keep you updated during visits and walks so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I always want you to feel comfortable trusting me with a member of your family.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Whitebank

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 576 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Whitebank. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

96% of sitters in Whitebank 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 Whitebank 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 Whitebank.

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 Whitebank. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 Whitebank 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.
