“Rebeca is so caring and sweet. It’s the second time that we use her service and my puppy loves her so much. She stays calm and happy. Highly recommended.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle for taking care of my dog, Blue. From the first drop-off, I felt totally comfortable. Michelle was so warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the week, I got updates and photos that showed Blue was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and honestly like he had a little vacation too. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their fur babies.”
“We will never use anyone else to watch our boy. Constant communication and loving care was abundant. These two know how to do their job! We are so glad we found them! The BEST BEST BEST!!!”
“This was my pups first time staying with Mickey and friends and it was great! Mickey’s years of experience working with dogs and friendly demeanor with my pups, made me feel comfortable having them stay over. This was the first time in a while we were away from our pups so I was a bit anxious, but Mickey’s updates with pictures were very reassuring! Would definitely have him watch them again soon!”
“My dog did great with Jessica! This was my first time leaving my dog, Papas, for an extended period, 9 days while I was out of town. He had been to a boarding facility for a day, up to 3-4 days at a time. He is small, 12 lbs, but being with too many other dogs gives him anxiety, especially if they have a lot of energy and are in his face a lot. He would prefer to be with larger dogs, but with traditional boarding there are so many dogs that the commotion just gives him anxiety and he stays by himself a lot. I didn’t have the heart to send him there for this trip away, so I figured with Rover, a more controlled environment - with humans who could give him proper attention, and just a few other dogs would be a more positive environment. My dog loved Jessica and wagged his tail right on up to her right away. Her daughter was sweet and gentle with him as well. I received pictures regularly and never felt the need to check in. I felt he was taken care of and having a good time, as was evident when I picked him up and he was exhausted! I will definitely reach out to Jessica again next time I need Papas to be taken care of and know he is in good hands.”
“Our mini schnauzer doesn’t travel well so we had to find a place for her to stay for a few days, when we went on vacation. She is anxious and thanks to the pandemic is quite used to having us around so i wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be lonely. Lilly and her family made sure my pup was well taken care of. They took her in and treated her like family. Lilly asked all the right questions to understand how our dog was treated (allowed on furniture? Human food? How many walks? Etc) so that the dog felt at home. She responded quickly to my inquiries, particularly on the first day. She sent multiple pictures throughout the time to show me how Elsa was fitting in. Lilly was kind, understanding, patient snd an overall amazing dog sitter. Will definitely use her again if we have to go out of town and I highly recommend her!”
“Awesome sitters, communication was amazing. If you’re looking to find a family setting for your pet when your family is away, they are perfect. Thank you, we hope we can have Waffles see you guys again soon.”
“Tamara was wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️”
“This is my second time using Celina and I was very pleased with how well my dog warmed up to her and her household. My dog tends to be anxious with new people and will not eat but that did not happen with Celina as her sitter. I have rescheduled already for a third booking with Celina.”
“Anna was amazing with our dog Indy! She had the best time and was so well cared for. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”
“Camila is so sweet and treated our girl like family while we were away. She sent updates and pictures too! I highly recommend her and we will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
“I can always tell that my dog has an amazing time at Michelle’s when he stays with her and her family! Thank you for always taking such great care of our Mugi”
“Veronica was very responsive to messages and very accommodating! She sent updates and photos of my two dogs during their five day stay. They seemed quite happy and well taken care of when I picked them up. Would definitely use Veronica’s services again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child and done pet sitting for family and friends for years, including neighbors. We adopted our dog Wilbur in 2022 and he has been such a blessing for me and my family. I will make sure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own ❤️ I currently am working from home, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of and play with the puppies. I normally go on walks in the morning and late afternoon, but I can anccomodate my schedule to you dog’s needs. I also spend plenty of time in the back yard (during good weather), so play time is always available. I have a large fenced in back yard, so I have plenty of room for visiting pets to run around and explore. Inside, there is a dedicated upstairs and downstairs area for pets to lay down and rest. The feeding area for pets is in the same room as where my family dines, to try and make all pets feel like they are a part of the family. Your pets will be treated with loving care and attention to make them feel safe, calm and comfortable.
“Henry is a great sitter who was able to accommodate care on short notice for my quirky Golden Koda, who cannot be near another dog as he gets fear reactive; thus he must be the only dog in care. We had a successful meet & greet, and Henry asked a lot of good questions. He communicated and sent pictures regularly and kept me informed about how Koda was doing. I felt comfortable leaving my pup for a doggie staycation while I got to spend a few much-needed days on a trip with some family members. I would not hesitate to have Henry care for Koda again or to recommend him to others.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Woodbridge is $54

Erin and her family clearly made Tucker feel at home. She sent daily photos of Tucker enjoying his "summer camp" as we joked. He was always playing catch, chasing other dogs, playing in their big back yard. We will definitely send him back on our next trip out of town. Highly recommend Erin.
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️
This was my first time using Rover while going out of town and Melissa did an amazing job making sure I was comfortable from the meet and greet prior and all the updates/ pictures throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for good care for your furry friend :)
MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.
Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!
Theodora was a last minute lifesaver for me as I had a last minute work trip and needed a sitter. She was friendly and professional and took the time to understand my pup’s care. She is also the most communicative sitter I’ve had as I received daily messages and photos of him. Highly recommend her!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge.
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 Woodbridge. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Woodbridge 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.
