“I cannot recommend this wonderful woman enough! Our dog had the best time staying with Natasha and her sweet family. We received photos daily and our dog was always happily playing with children and occasionally with other dogs. I was able to enjoy our vacation with complete confidence that our puppy was doing just fine! 100% RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU!”
“We (and our pup, Fig) could not have been happier with Amy!! She kept us updated throughout each day with messages, photos, and videos. It was obvious how much fun Fig had with them in the fenced in yard, playing with new friends, and cozying up on the couch. She will absolutely be back. :)”
“Our special needs senior dog is our child. He sleeps with us, sits beside us (or on top of us) on the couch, and is our first consideration when we're making any plans, even as simple as leaving him to go to the grocery store. We haven't left him with anyone outside of our home besides family in his 11 years! I came across Stephen's profile on Rover, though, and instantly felt like something was different. From our first communication, I was totally at ease. Leaving Winston with a stranger in their home was going to be okay- I just knew it in my bones. Now post- initial stay, I can absolutely say that Stephen and his family are simply, unequivocally the BEST. I received updates, photos, and videos throughout the day- he was on their couch, in their laps, wrapped life a burrito in blankets 😂, getting his treatment, giving complete "content dog" vibes. There was not a single doubt in my mind that he was loved there. If you're at all nervous about leaving your fur baby- this is the place. They are WONDERFUL. I'm reluctant to share this information, actually, because I don't want Stephen to ever not be available, but I also want others who worry about leaving their dogs as much as we do to experience the level of ease we felt. Fortunately he had availability for our next planned trip, and I've already rebooked.”
“Kat is the only rover we use! After bad experiences with others, we can’t imagine using anyone else. I trust her wholeheartedly with Jetty and know my pup had the best time. She looks forward to going to “Zoe’s house!””
“Love Kelsi!! Our foster Puppy absolutely enjoys every moment of time he’s with Kelsi and her ! She provides such an excellent opportunity for him to run and play and I know he’s safe and well cared for!”
“Jesse is always so incredibly sweet to our baby. We always appreciate the fact that our dog is always welcome, even on short notice. Jesse is the best dogsitter and our baby loves going on her little adventures with the pack.”
“Jennifer was so wonderful with Portia and a tremendous help with her flexibility scheduling. We were in Richmond for a busy wedding weekend and we had no worries with our small dog who had just traveled across the country with us. Jennifer and her daughter kept her busy and then allowed Portia's best friend, a small terrier to join her for the last day of her stay. When we picked her up late at night the last night, our usually needy dog didn't even care if she left the warm and inviting home of Jennifer. We highly recommend her.”
“Ronda is amazing, patient, and very caring. She kept my puppy with great care, took him on walks, and sent many pictures timely. We will definitely go back to her next time onwards. Highly recommended.”
“Luna’s recent 3 night stay became a 6 night stay when we were stranded out of state due to the snow storm. Our flights kept getting cancelled and Cassie was a saint, letting us know all was well and not even blinking when I continued to ask if Luna could stay longer. With the travel stress, it meant the world to have peace of mind knowing our Luna was in good hands. ❤️”
“I’m so happy Vanessa decided to sit with my girls. She loved on them as I would and that’s all I could ever ask for. The communication was awesome and I appreciated all the effort she put into making my mind at ease being away from my fur babies. Thank you so much, Vanessa. I’ll need to bring them to see you in between sittings.”
“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”
“Zack and Kelsey and their boys were so good to my pups! I got pics of them cuddling just like they were at home. Thank you for giving them a home away from home and letting me enjoy vacation without worrying about my babies.”
“Laura is great with my dog Banksy. He arrives and leaves with a smile. I always know he is safe with her and he enjoys the freedom to play in her backyard and pal around with her dog. She is always very affectionate towards him. We love Laura!”
“Ayme was awesome. You always feel apprehensive leaving your pup with a stranger the first time but she sent me pictures multiple times a day and I could clearly tell that Delilah was comfortable in her home. If I ever need someone again she’ll definitely go back to Ayme’s.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”

Myra was incredible! She has a wonderful fenced in backyard, and a loving home. She truly loves dogs and notices the small quirks that you also love. I changed my pick up time 1 million times because my trip plans kept changing and she was extremely flexible and generous. Will definitely use her again. Thank you so much!

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 Whitehall Acres 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 Whitehall Acres 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 Whitehall Acres.
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 Whitehall Acres. On Rover:

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 Whitehall Acres 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.
