“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“We always feel reassured that our pup is taken care of and they’re happy to have her. Daisy is treated like the princess she is. I highly recommend their family to watch your beloved pets.”
“It was a last minute booking, but Cindy and her family were wonderful with my puppy. She had a blast at her place with her Shitzu pup. Great communication, daily update, and very patient with my puppy. Definitely rebook in the future!”
“Maki was excellent with Bruno. She was very caring and kept us up to date on everything including photos and videos. She took him on walks played with him and in general made him feel very comfortable and loved.”
“Lauren provided excellent care for Bryce. She regularly sent photos and videos of him throughout his stay with her. Her yard is large and fenced in so plenty of space for your pup to zoom around. High recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Yzabella is one of the best dog sitters we have ever hired. She is very dedicated to the pets and shows them love. We can tell because our dog return back home after nearly 2 weeks very happy. While we were away, Yzabella has been staying in frequent communication with us, sending pictures and we can really tell that she show pets a lot of attention. She is very caring and we will definitely be back to her and hire her for dog sitting again when we need to go on another trip where we can not take our dog with us. Great job, really thankful for everything she did. 5/5 definitely! Thank you really so much from bottom of our hearts, Yzabella! See you again soon!”
About: I cared for my family dog for 12 years until she passed, as well as cared for my family and friends furry animals over the years. I’m currently working full time. During the week, I can be available before 8:00am, afternoons, and after 4:30pm Monday through Friday. Weekend schedule is flexible. I’ll make sure they are safe at all times, and well taken care of. Take them on walks, feed them if needed, and play of course!
“Allison was great with our boys! One of my dogs has a needy diet and Allison was more than willing to make the rice and provide for them with no questions asked! She sent us pictures throughout their stay and updated us when needed!”
“Such wonderful animal lovers! I received nightly photos of our dog having the best time on their property. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again.”
“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”
“We are grateful for Cheryl for being available to take care of Bentley while we were gone. Can’t thank her enough for giving us a peace of mind knowing our Bentley is in good hands while we were gone.”
“Deborah, her daughter, and their sweet pup, Lotus, were amazing! Pepper can have a hard time being away from us and they made her feel right at home and pampered her with love, cuddles, and all the routines that help her feel happy and relaxed. I will definitely be booking with them again the next time we have to go out of town. You should definitely do the same!!!”
“James and Iryna were absolutely amazing with my dog, Rey, while I was away in Japan for two weeks. From the very start, their communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. They responded quickly to messages and kept me updated every single day with photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing Rey was happy and well cared for. Rey looked so comfortable and content in every update, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. It was obvious they treated her like part of their family. When I came back, Rey was her usual happy self, and it was clear she’d been in great hands. I would absolutely trust James and Iryna to watch Rey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitters.”
“Victoria was so great with my new puppy. Bad timing led me to to have to leave my puppy for a few days just after adopting him. Victoria has an amazing daycare setup and immediately put me at ease. She gave me some great advice about raising a puppy too as it’s been many years since I’ve had a puppy! Thanks Victoria!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willow Lake
We went on vacation and this was the 1st time Sir Baxter was going to be away from us for such a long period of time. Baxter stayed with Katherine for 6 days and he can be a handful (picky eater, attention seeking, etc). Katherine proposed a meet and greet which we gladly accepted as we were assessing a couple of different sitters. From the meet and greet on, we could tell Katherine was very experienced with caring for dogs, her yard is setup for them to have play time, and Baxter did not seem anxious when introduced to her two dogs. While we were away, she did share picks of Baxter and was responsive to questions as to how he was doing. We will likely check Katherine's availability and hopefully rebook with her next time we need a sitter.
Katherine is very conscience. She insisted on meeting the dogs before their stay. I was very impressed with this because it shows she cares about what she does. I haven’t left my dogs overnight with anyone in probably over 5 years so I was very anxious. She has a beautiful setting.
Katherine was great with our 2 year old corgi. She was accommodating to a last minute request, which I really appreciated. I felt confident our dog would enjoy her stay after seeing how well she handled the meet & greet. She has a large fenced in yard for dogs too. I look forward to using her services again!

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 Lake 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 Willow Lake.
<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 Lake 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.
