“Rosalina was simply amazing and kept our baby last minute. She was very attentive and sent plenty of pictures to keep us updated. I think Oreo definitely enjoyed his stay and can’t wait for his next stay. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“We rebooked with Katherine and Marc after a good fist stay a couple months ago. Less than a week before her scheduled stay this time, our dog tore her ACL. They cared for her so well and provided me lots of updates.”
“I truly felt comfortable leaving my little boy with Candace and I appreciate her keeping him a few hours longer than planned. The next time I need a sitter, I'll definitely check with Candace first.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Very responsive ! I can tell he has good experience with dogs. Always kept me updated and sent me pics. I was comfortable at my trip knowing Leo is being taken care of well. I definitely recommend and will for sure book with Gustavo again!”
“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.”
“Our pup was so excited when we pulled into Audree’s place! He has a blast here and we appreciate how well cared for he is. Audree keeps us updated and is quick to communicate.”
“We found our forever friend with Saroj! Her hospitality was so gracious and her style of pet parenting perfectly aligned with mine so our pups felt right at home. We received lots of videos and pictures and were so happy how well our puppies' energy aligned with her's!”

“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter and caregiver! Kathleen (Katie) has been my go-to dog boarder for over 15 years, and I was thrilled when she joined Rover so more people could find her. She recently watched my dog for me, and it was just as fantastic as always. From the very first day we met, I knew my pups were in the best hands. Katie truly loves dogs and it shows in everything she does. When we adopted our puppy a while back, Katie was incredibly helpful — offering advice, extra patience, and gentle guidance as we all adjusted to life with a new little one. She has such a calming presence with dogs of all ages and personalities. My dog always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Katie is professional, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I recommend her without hesitation — she’s the real deal! Thank you, Katie, for always taking such great care of my furry family members. ❤️”
“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”
“Thank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“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!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through spending time with my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and helping her take care of her. I also regularly help care for my brother’s three dogs by taking them outside to use the bathroom, giving them time to play, and occasionally taking them on walks. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are cared for. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible when looking after someone’s pets, and I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give to the animals in my own life. I am currently serving on active duty in the Marine Corps and stationed in Virginia. I am typically available on weekdays after 5 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I will communicate clearly with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize making sure the pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience helping care for my girlfriend’s cat, Boba, and my brother’s three dogs. I will follow each pet parent’s instructions, pay attention to their pet’s needs, and provide regular updates. Whether we are going for walks, playing outside, or spending time together.

She was the absolute sweetest! 🥰 She took such great care of my pups and sent me pictures and updates every single day which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they were in great hands and well cared for. I truly appreciate how sweet, attentive, and communicative she was throughout their stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter! ❤️
Rosalina was wonderful with Bruno! She watched him for 5 nights, Oct 29–Nov 3, at her home while we were away, and followed his routine so well. She sent great daily updates, videos, and photos, which made it so easy to relax knowing he was doing well and Bruno was very happy with her! We felt completely at ease leaving him with her, and pickup was easy. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!
If I could give Teecey 6 stars, I absolutely would! We didn’t have an opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand due to scheduling, but Gigi felt right at home from the moment we arrived, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving her in Teecey’s care. She treated Gigi like she was her own, even introduced her to some new food! She also kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay without me ever having to ask, which I really appreciated. It’s always a little nerve-racking leaving your dog with someone new, but Teecey made the entire experience so easy. Knowing Gigi was comfortable, happy, and genuinely cared for gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again
Jamie did a great job watching Henry! She kept me informed and sent pictures daily. Her dog was extremely friendly and accepted Henry immediately. I know Henry had a great time because he slept the entire day we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone and would book with her again if we need a sitter.
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.
I reached out to Tori last minute for boarding, and she immediately agreed to help. She responded quickly and was very accommodating. She was friendly, attentive, and even provided a detailed report card about my dog’s behavior. I will definitely reach out to Tori again and highly recommend her to everyone.

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 Woodlea 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 Woodlea 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 Woodlea.
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 Woodlea. On Rover:
- 86% 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 Woodlea 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.
