“Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.”
“Emily was amazing! She and her family took care of Khloé for a weekend and Khloé was zonked when we got her back - not an easy feat! She provided us with daily updates and was extremely flexible with our schedule. I will absolutely be booking with Emily again!”
“This was my first experience leaving any of my animals with a stranger. 10 minutes after I met Jessica, I didn’t feel I was leaving him with a stranger any longer! Her and her family treated my little family member (Highway) like a family member. I am very pleased with my Rover and Jessica experience.”
“We were definitely pleased with our pups staying with Megan while we were out of town. We received pictures and or videos each day with a comment letting us know how they were doing! Highly recommend! Thanks!”
“I can't say enough good things about Melody and Matthew as dog sitters! This was Chloe's second time being away from us, and we were a bit nervous, but they put us at ease right away. Throughout the 8 days, Melody sent regular updates that showed Chloe making friends with other dogs and bonding with their kids. It was clear she was comfortable, happy, and getting all the attention she needed. I felt completely confident that Chloe was in great hands, and it made our trip that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Melody and Matthew!”
“Julie sent pictures every day and checked in often to let me know how my two doodles were doing. Loved the communication! We're already booked again for next time!”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mrs. Crystal is truly a blessing! The peace of mind we have when Jaxon is in her care is priceless. She communicates well and treats him with such genuine love and attention. He always comes home happy and relaxed, it truly feels like his home away from home.”
“Deidre did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was in the middle of moving. Her experience with pets and cats specifically gave me peace of mind. She took great care of our cats and provided regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Deidre and would happily use her again!”
“James was great with my large dog Hank. He stayed in communication with me and sent pictures every day. He also administered medication daily and catered to Hank’s level of activity. Hank came back home happy and healthy from his little vacation with James.”
“Janel could not have been more professional, responsive, or kind. I boarded Loki with her for 4 nights not knowing what to expect and only using reviews and our short communicationas a gauge. I was not disappointed. My pup, Loki, appeared at ease with Janel when I picked up my little dude. I will use her business again. Thanks, Janel.”
“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“Lyra and Scott, Took great care of Charlie while my husband and I were in Europe. Our Charlie had such a great time with the family, i was not sure if he wanted to come back home!:) . Everyday i received a picture of Charlie on his daily activities. Right before leaving, Lyra and Scott told me to enjoy my vacation and not to worry which was very comforting. When I picked Charlie up he was happy and very playful. I highly recommend Lyra and Scott. I am already making plans to have Charlie stay with Lyra and Scott again. Lyra and Scott Thank You!!”
“Ms. Mary is absolutely wonderful. This was our 2nd time dropping off our elderly dog and both times when we picked him up, he was in no hurry to leave. It is very obvious that our dog enjoys his time at Ms. Mary's home and is always well taken care of. Ms. Mary responds to texts promptly was so understanding whenever we had delays. You can tell how much she adores all canines. We are grateful to have connected with Ms. Mary! We have met 5 other Rover sitters in Virginia - Ms. Mary is our favorite, we will only seek her from now on ♡”
“Brandy is amazing! I had a last minute trip and she was very understanding and took churro right away! She is really careful and caring with my dog and is always sending updates on how he is doing. She is truly the best!”
“Kimberly made us feel so at ease while she kept our dog. She was so happy to have him which made us feel comfortable and stoked for him to be with her for the weekend!”

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 Whitley 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 Whitley.
<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 Whitley 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.
