“Pei and Will took amazing care of Duke! They sent us many pictures and videos and were so kind and caring. Duke is a happy-go-lucky golden retriever but for the first time ever he was sad when he came home because he missed them and their sweet dog Ivy so much. We will definitely hook again in the future!”


“Damacia is an amazing sitter for my dog, Jazzy! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure Jazzy was well cared for the entire time. From the moment I met her at drop-off, she was so welcoming and kind. I also had a medical emergency at the airport and had to change my flight at the last minute. Danika was incredibly accommodating and allowed Jazzy to stay an extra night without hesitation. She responded quickly with genuine care and concern, which meant so much to me during a stressful situation. I truly appreciate her flexibility, professionalism, and kindness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Willow is completely at ease with Amanda. Amanda does a fantastic job keeping me informed about Willow’s health, activities, and interactions with their family. I have already rebooked. I have and will change plans if Amanda is not available.”

“Abby took such good care of our Ada. She welcomed her into our home while we were out of the country for two weeks. Ada was incorporated into their family. Sent pictures so we could see how happy she was! Definitely recommend Abby and will use her again!”

“Jayla and her mom were the SWEETEST!! I felt comfortable the moment I met them, you can just tell they are so kind and love animals. I was so nervous leaving our puppy but they sent updates, pictures and videos of our boy the entire weekend we were away. They gave him all the attention he needed while he was there and all the love and cuddles. We will 100% be using them for any future needs!”

“Alex was awesome and provided updates with photos. He had a very nice home with a backyard and i felt my dog was very well taken care of! Would book again 100 percent”

“Amy took really good care of a 4 month old pug puppy sort of last minute and we are so appreciative! She sent many pictures and videos throughout the day which helped put us at ease. Your dog will be cared for and loved on here.”

“Ellysia is so kind and warm. She takes such good care of Harley and Harley came home so happy! She’s also very communicative and sent a bunch of goofy photos of Harley! Will definitely book with Ellysia again!”

“Amber recently watched both of my cats and is amazing! My cats are sweet but they’ve definitely been stressed lately with all the moving, and she made them feel so comfortable. She was fantastic at sending my photos and letting me know how they were doing. I can not recommend her enough. She is amazing with animals and just so sweet and communicative. She made my sweet girls feel so at home and I can’t thank her enough!”

“Thank you Lori for being so kind and taking care of Simba. We were able to enjoy our trip without having to worry about him. Enjoyed getting frequent updates and the pictures from you. 🙏”


“Hilary and her family were great with Dallas! We are so thankful to have been able to place him in the care of a wonderful family while we traveled out of the area and celebrated our youngest daughter’s birthday ?”

About: It's pretty simple - I love dogs and I work from home. Having recently said goodbye to my own best boy, Gary (a squishy English bulldog mix), I can guarantee that I'll get as much happiness out of seeing your dog as your dog will hopefully get from seeing me! I understand how important it is to know your pet is comfortable in your absence. I will treat yours as my own and send you as many updates as you'd like! Some key skills that may come in handy: - Walking dogs with leash reactivity - Experience with senior pets and those with medical needs - Administering medications, injections, paw wraps, etc. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and love on your pups! I'm available for boarding all day, every day and would be happy to have a four-legged coworker around :) I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe while exploring and getting lots of sniffs! We also keep a clean and tidy home to ensure your pet is always safe. Of course, there may be times when I need to step out (I'm human after all!), but will be happy to abide by any requests you have. Things like bowls, leashes, light up collars, pet gates, and a crate can be made available.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my puppy, Kobe, received from Kayce. This was my first time leaving him, and as a baby puppy, I was naturally nervous. She communicated with me very well, kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated Kobe like he was her own. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her to watch Kobe again.”

“Caitlyn and Sam were absolutely amazing with our beagle, Gary! He can be a little nervous at first, and big noises tend to scare him, but they were incredibly patient, understanding, and gave him all the time he needed to settle in and feel comfortable. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, which gave us so much peace of mind. They kept us updated with messages and photos, making it easy to relax knowing Gary was in such great hands. Since we were out of the country, their updates and communication meant even more. It truly felt like Gary was staying at his home away from home. Their girls adored him, and it was obvious that he was loved and cared for like one of their own. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about this family. They made us feel completely at ease, and knowing Gary was in such caring hands meant everything. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home for your pup, I highly recommend Caitlyn and Sam. We will absolutely be booking with them again!”


“Amanda was absolutely incredible. She was super communicative throughout our dog's entire stay. We loved all the updates and pictures. We could tell our dog was being loved and cared for, which put us at ease while we were out of town. Would 100% recommend Amanda.”
“Emily was a great sitter for my fur baby! She was very thorough, from the initial booking to picking up my dog. I received updates and pictures daily. I will definitely be booking her 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 Winterpock 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 Winterpock.
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.
You and your Winterpock 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.
