“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.”
“Amber is both friendly and professional. I really appreciated the steady stream of photos and updates from her while I was out of town. Would definitely considered her in the future.”
“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”
“Tracey, is amazing with dogs and puts up with my active two year old Golden doodle. She is super flexible and is willing to work with you if you need to change your time for drop off or pick up. She is warm and loving and I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“Megan is awesome! She watched our two 9 month old puppies. She was patient with us as we dropped the off and wanted to make sure the puppies were comfortable and adjusting. She send updates and photos. The puppies had so much fun with them that when we picked them up, they didn’t want to leave 🤣. 10/10 recommend Megan for your dog sitting needs.”
“Ligia did an awesome job watching our two overactive boxers. She loves dogs and it shows!! I highly recommend her services and we will definitely be using her again!!!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“Awesome sitter! Great communicator, sent updates and pics everyday. Both my cat and dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. Very knowledgeable as well about how to properly take care of fur babies. Gave me good tips!”
“Heather is absolutely amazing! We have 2 boston terriers and one is a rescue who doesn't warm up to strangers easily. She really helped put our minds at ease at our meet and greet and while they stayed with her she sent us constant updates and pictures. We would leave 10 stars if we could. A++++! Thank you so much!”
“Rosalina and her family were incredibly kind and attentive to my dog. They sent me daily photos of him having a great time with her family. I’m definitely booking with her again! The service was exceptional and I highly recommend her.”
“I have 2 dogs that are polar opposites; one that is fearful and cautions, and the other one very social and goofy. We felt very comfortable leaving them with Karla, she gave them the time needed to acclimate and warm up, and they had a blast! We also appreciated the constant pictures and updates as to how they were doing and getting along. Thank you Karla for taking such great care of our Basil + Cashew!”
“We had such a great experience! This family was incredibly welcoming and made my dogs feel right at home. Communication was excellent — they were quick to respond and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I especially appreciated how comfortable they made even my shy dog, who didn’t want to leave when it was time to go! Highly recommend and will definitely book again. 🐾 We had such a great experience!

About: I've had taken care of animals for over 20 plus years. Im also a certified vet assistant as well. Love all animals and would love to meet yours! Im currently unemployed so I would be able to do anytime of the day. I do have 2 chihuahuas of my own as well that I absolutely adore. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard at my home but I do take my dogs out regularly on leash. But they also have free roam of the entire house.
“Tracey was fantastic to our little dog. She noticed a medical issue and contacted us about it immediately. She then helped us find a vet since we are not from the area. She sent multiple pictures and updates.”
“Love.love.love Kimmie, and so does Zeus. She kept him for 5days while I was out of town. She spoiled him and sent me pictures and updates. He played so well with the other dogs. Now that he is back home, he looks a bit sad. I think he prefers living w her than Us!! I highly recommend her for ur dog sitting needs!!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“Thank you for another wonderful ‘staycation’ for Cooper! He loved spending time with you and your family and is ready for us to travel again soon. We really appreciate everything that you do to welcome him into your family, enabling us to enjoy our vacations - knowing that he is safe and happy :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Widewater Beach
I needed a last minute sitter in Stafford and did not want to leave my puppy at a big dog boarding facility or the vet where pets are often left alone. Thankfully, Vickie got back to me right away, and I’m so glad she did! She has a beautiful fenced-in yard tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where Penny was able to run around freely and even got to socialize with another dog she was boarding. Vickie quickly responded to me whenever I reached out to check on Penny and took excellent care of her, even reaching out to me to confirm her feeding routine. It was wonderful being able to go about my busy weekend knowing my puppy would be cared for by such a responsible and experienced sitter. Penny absolutely loved staying with Vickie, and when I am in need of a sitter again, she will be the one I call!
Vickie did a great job taking care of my dog, Rocky! A friend was supposed to dog-sit for me but fell through the night before I was going out of town. This was my first time trying Rover, and I was lucky to find Vickie. She responded quickly to all of my messages, from my initial request all the way through Rocky’s stay. Rocky was comfortable there and was clearly happy when I picked him up. He especially enjoyed having a nice fenced-in yard to run around in. I will definitely contact Vickie again when I travel!
Vickie did an excellent job taking care of our 6-year-old Lab! She was attentive, responsive, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. We appreciated her communication and felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Vickie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

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.
94% of sitters in Widewater Beach 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 Widewater Beach 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 Beach.
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 Widewater Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 Widewater Beach 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.
