“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Connie was a dream to have watch our new puppy! We were new to Rover and a little cautious about the experience but she was helpful and professional upon contact. We decided to board with Connie for a week long stay and were extremely pleased with the constant correspondence including many, many sweet pictures of our puppy playing and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Connie to anyone considering a caretaker for their fur baby!”
“Luna and her human parents adore Audree. Luna is so excited to come and play and stay! We love all the photos of Luna playing with her furry friends. Between Audree’s and the regular dogs. It’s always a fun play date. Best dog sitter and we feel so lucky to have found her.”
“Amber is an amazing caregiver for pets. She is dedicated and professional. She provides caring services and she lets you know how your pet is performing. She treats all pets like they are hers. I had no worries when Nugget was there for four days. She has ample space to make every pet comfortable. I highly recommend Amber for your boarding needs.”
“Eldeen rescued us - we needed a sitter for our girl Edith on short notice and our usual sitter was unavailable. They took great care of her, and she was happy and obviously well loved while she was there. 5 stars in every aspect!”
“Traci is fantastic!! She is very responsive and sent pictures of my pups to me during their stay. She has a beautiful home with a great backyard. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Megan is a superstar. Amazing at communication and responds so quickly. I’m very hesitant to try new rovers because my big boy is super shy and can be a handful. Because of her expertise, he felt comfortable and he had a great time with Megan and her family. I will exclusively book with her.”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”
“I absolutely love it when jazzy goes there. She gets an opportunity to play with other dogs. They walk a lot. He always sends videos and daily summaries. I could not see taking her anywhere else and I don’t see anyone tapping how well she is taken care of when she is there.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care our 2 furry family members, Ziggy & Bella received from Addy and the entire family. From the moment we met, it was clear Ziggy & Bella were in loving and capable hands. Addy went above and beyond, ensuring they were not just fed and walked, but truly cherished. Daily updates and photos provided peace of mind while we were away. We returned to happy, healthy fur babies. We cannot recommend Addy highly enough and will undoubtedly be booking again!”
“Linda and her entire family cared for my Snoop as he was their own. This was my first time ever leaving him with anyone other than our own family (in 14 years), I am happy and appreciative that our experience was an awesome one. Photos, videos, and daily updates had been provided.”
“Rosalina was amazing! She saved our life as we had an emergency which had us looking for a puppy sitter last minute and Rosalina responded within 10 minutes and quickly agreed to watch our puppy. Her family was so welcoming, she sent pictures every few hours with updates, and responded fast if u asked any questions. We will for sure reach out to Rosalina for any future needs!”
“Ben & Ariel were absolutely wonderful with Mishka! We’ve used several sitters this year, and this was the first time she came home so clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely well loved. That alone means everything to us. They kept her active with plenty of walks, gave us terrific updates, and sent lots of photos so we always knew how she was doing. It was obvious they weren’t just watching her—they really cared for her and made her feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will 1000% book with Ben & Ariel again and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️🐾”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”
“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”
“Jim did a superb job taking care of my dog Nick. He walked Nick regularly, fed him on time, and was a wonderful companion for Nick. I am very grateful for Jim and definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”

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 Widewater 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 Widewater.
<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 Widewater 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.
