“Casey and her littles kept my husky sky for almost a week in July and she was AMAZING, she always kept us up to date on sky, sent pictures daily. And the kids left the cutest little card when we had picked sky up! I will definitely be using Casey every time I have to leave town! I didn’t have to worry once that sky was being taken care of and felt at homes (:”
“Love Kari! So glad I came across her profile! My dog was so comfortable with her from the moment we walked in, that I knew she would be in good hands while in her care. Will absolutely be using Kari again for future care. Thank you!”
“Deb absolutely did an amazing job with my two mini dachshunds !!! They are the best !!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure !!! Thank you 🙏 for everything you did for them !!!”
“Kathryn was great with our 7 month old cavalier mix. You can tell she loves what she does & I immediately felt safe leaving her. I highly recommend her & will be using her going forward for any overnight stays in the future!”
“We are so happy to have found Emily- I am no longer concerned about leaving our dog when we go out of town, because Emily sends regular updates and pictures, and we know she's in great hands! Drop off and pick up are a breeze, and our dog wags her tail every time we pull up to the house.”
“First let me just start off by saying Mary and her family are too cute! They welcomed my little Topaz as if he were their own! You can feel the energy of her home warm and inviting, her dog is very sweet as well. She updated me with pics quite often and she even game him a bath before I picked him back up! I would highly recommend her and would definitely re use her if ever I needed care services in the future! Thank you guys for being so awesome!”
“Brenda did a fantastic job keeping our 'baby' safe and happy! She kept us supplied with pictures showing Ezzie enjoying her surroundings and new friends. We would recommend Brenda for everyone wanting to go on vacation knowing that their animal is going to have as good of a time (probably better!) than they do in a caring, safe environment.”
“Eman is absolutely amazing! She has watched our fur baby, Simmi, multiple times, and every single time has been a fantastic experience. Simmi gets so excited when we’re approaching her house, her tail starts wagging nonstop! It’s clear how much love and care Eman gives her. We feel completely at ease knowing Simmi is in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and attentive and is truly the only one I trust to watch Simmi 💕💕”
“Aaliyah was amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and so sweet. She was very attentive and immediately picked up on Reconquista’s behavior, which really impressed me. You can tell she truly understands dogs and genuinely cares about them. I felt very comfortable leaving Reconquista with her and will do so in the future! Highly recommend Aaliyah!!!!!”
“Joleen did a great job! We got lots of pics and updates while we were away. We felt very comfortable dropping off our dog in a very calming environment with a fenced back yard!”
“Caroline and Spencer are the best! We will always use them whenever we go out of town! They took such great care of our girl Xena! Their home is amazing and dog friendly! We are so thankful for having them be our rovers! ??”
“Excellent service, care, and communication! I am extremely particular about who watches our fur baby - one, because I adore him, care deeply about his safety, and do not like leaving him; and two, because we have had more than one bad experience in the past. Marketa and Jay were patient and understanding, answered questions, addressed my concerns, and helped allay my fears and worries. And the ongoing communication was greatly appreciated. I felt they were honest and trustworthy, which was a great relief to me as well, as I felt our fur baby was safe in their care.”
“It is such a relief to find someone to take care of my Posey with as much love and care as I do. Wendy is amazing and considerate. She takes the time to pre-meet and understand any key behaviors and needs. Her home is safe and secure and she allowed for the right space for Posey to feel comfortable. My girl is a little shy but she warmed up with Wendy and I know she felt secure with her. I would have no issue with Wendy watching her again. Added bonus that I received plenty of pictures of Posey relaxing or snuggling while I was gone. Wendy is A+!!”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my dog Rupi. She took Rupi on long walks every day and sent pictures/updates regularly. I would highly recommend Jessica.”
“Kasalyn was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Addyson and Addyson had a great time. Kasalyn was very kind, made me feel comfortable and eased my mind about leaving my baby. She also send lots of awesome pictures and updates. Thanks for all you did Kasalyn😊”

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 Willow 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 Willow.
<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 Willow 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.
