“Jona was absolutely wonderful with our skittish pupper and high energy herder. She was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable, which we really appreciated. We received frequent updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our doggos in good hands. Communication was excellent; she was always quick to respond and super easy to coordinate with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve boarded with Marcela for years and it’s always a good experience. It’s comforting to know that the dog we drop off is the same dog we pick up in terms of health and personality. In the past we have used different sitters and would sometimes pick up our dog only to find she was sick or injured or exhibiting bad behavior because of the house rules or lack thereof but we never have to worry about that with Marcela. Thanks for another good stay!”
“Jizelle was fantastic! This was our first time boarding Whitney using Rover (or ever for that matter) and Jizelle made everything so easy. From initial communication, to meeting her and her lovely pups at the meet and greet, all of our interactions with Jizelle confirmed that Whitney was in great hands while we were away. Jizelle was also very flexible with a last minute request to shift the drop off earlier than planned and provided us with regular photos and updates to let us know how things were going - she even braved foot high snow and ice to ensure that Whitney had adequate walks and fresh air following a once-in-a-decade snowmageddon! I 100% plan to utilize Jizelle's boarding services going forwards and would not hesitate to give her my strongest recommendation.”
“Thank you, Rae! No worries with leaving Seymour with Rae at all. We came home to a very happy, well cared for pup. Seymour loves Rae! Will definitely book with her again if needed.”
“Dan boarded my niece's beagle and my lab mutt over Christmas week, and I couldn't be happier for how the pups got to spend their holiday. As a former dog owner, their home and yard is very dog friendly, and it was clear they enjoyed the stay and the attention they were able to constantly coax out of Dan and his daughters. They were even able to relax and hang out with the resident cat. I highly recommend Dan if you need to board your dog for any reason.”
“Andrea and TJ were absolutely wonderful with Domino! They took great care of him for the whole weekend, and I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. They were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free for me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog, and I would absolutely leave Domino with them again! 🐶❤️”
“Russ and his family were great dog sitters! Rio had so much fun romping around in their big back yard and playing with Sassy and Tino. Highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Billy loved his stay at Brian's. He got to play with tons of toys and received a lot of attention. Brian also sent me daily updates with photos of Billy, and was also very conscientious about Billy's special food and medication needs. I will definitely be bringing Billy back to Brian's next time I go out of town.”
“Jodee and AJ are very experienced and took great care of my pup even providing pictures and updates. Being her first time with a rover I was slightly apprehensive but it couldn’t have gone smoother. The family was very attentive!”
“We had a great experience booking with Shylo. She was very responsive and helpful. Our dog got along great with her sweet Annabelle, and he came home relaxed and happy. We would definitely book again with Shylo if our schedules line up.”
“Amanda went above and beyond when watching Poppy! She not only administered Poppy's medications, but also drove to our vet to pick up a new prescription. I'm grateful to Amanda for taking such good care.”
“I am soooo glad I found them! Jason and Jeremy took such a good care of my high energy lab, Shiloh. They were also great at accommodating last min request to extend her stay! They have a big beautiful yard and their two fur babies are a perfect play company for your fur baby!”
“Jenny takes great care to treat your pet like family and is always our number one choice to watch our energetic lab, Junie, when we go out of town. Thanks again Jenny!”
“Wonderful person, took care of my Luna ? as if she was at home. Kept sending me update which I loved ?. Will definitely ask for her help next time the family goes on vacation. Thanks a million Naquellete ??”
“Rebecca took great care of my pup. We received regular updates and she went above and beyond to make sure my aging dog took her medication on schedule. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We will definitely book with her again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
Leslie was an amazing support to our family when we needed to travel for an extended period of time. Roxy had a BLAST! Leslie and her family took her to multiple dog parks, helped with medication management, and went above and beyond for our girl. We are so thankful!
Leaving a newly adopted pup with major anxiety is so stressful, but finding Liz, Will, and their family was such a blessing. I had to travel for nearly a month and a half, and they stepped right up to love and care for Kona unconditionally. They totally understood his special needs and showed him so much patience. Getting regular updates, photos, and videos was a total lifesaver and let me travel without constantly worrying. Kona wasn’t just staying there—he was treated like family. I’m so grateful for everything they did for him!
We had a great experience with Shylo as our dog sitter! She was professional and accommodating, making sure our dog's needs were met while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which showed our pup happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Shylo to anyone who needs a caring dog sitter! Thank you, Shylo! J&S Ross
My dog was absolutely obsessed with Joanna and her husband! Despite some pretty wacky weather over three days from 88° to 55°and drizzly, JJ still got good walks in! Very much appreciate. He barely greeted me from the couch when I first arrived to pick him up! I think he wanted to stay!
Monica did an awesome job! Her and her husband are super friendly and welcoming, and I could tell they really love pets. My dog was comfortable with them immediately and very happy and healthy upon my return. They communicated clearly and were very flexible with the timing which was helpful for me to avoid / deal with traffic. They also gave regular updates about the stay, and sent pictures.
Amillita is amazing! We left Maia with her for boarding and she has gone above and beyond in taking care of wMaia. She has taken her for long walks and plays in the backyard and she has even brushed Maia’s teeth before bedtime. In addition, she sent a lot of updates and photos, which we really appreciate! We couldn’t be more happy and satisfied. We are so happy with her service and we highly recommend her! Thank you, Amillita!
Dan was great - he watched my dog for an extended stay and she had the best time. Dan was always responsive and provided daily updates with photos. He is a true dog lover and takes the time to understand your dog's needs (and quirks!) and clearly has experience dealing with all types of personalities. He has a great setup and an awesome fenced backyard that is perfect for exploring. I would 100% trust him to watch Stella again!
Alexa has been an incredibly reliable dog walker for Envy! Envy is always excited to see her, gets great photos, and some bonus snuggles. This was the first time Envy boarded with Alexa and she couldn't be happier! She was well taken care of and I was at ease knowing Envy was with happy company.
Anne took excellent care of Milo, our miniature poodle, once again. Anne is conscientious and trustworthy. She adheres exactly to Milo's supplement and medication schedules We can tell that Milo, who is wary of strangers, is very comfortable with her. Thank you so much, Anne!

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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn.
<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 Woodlawn 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.
