“Rosalina was amazing! She saved our life as we had an emergency which had us looking for a puppy sitter last minute and Rosalina responded within 10 minutes and quickly agreed to watch our puppy. Her family was so welcoming, she sent pictures every few hours with updates, and responded fast if u asked any questions. We will for sure reach out to Rosalina for any future needs!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend you look no further. We used her for boarding this time, and Heather was great with our dogs. She sent pictures as promised, and they always looked very happy. She followed our requests with certain treats and was comfortable with some of their extra needs. She was reasonably priced and flexible with picking up and dropping off the dogs, easing our travel with two young kids. We would happily book with her again for our next trip!”
“Jessica was an excellent dog sitter! She provided daily updates with plenty of pictures and videos of Flossy, and her communication was outstanding. She took wonderful care of our dog—we would definitely use her again. 5 stars!”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“Candace was fantastic! Frankie loved it over there. He got along really well with her dog, Tyson. He was worn out when we came back from all the running around they did in the backyard. Her family is very kind and her kids loved Frankie too. Can’t recommend enough. Will be looking to book w/ Candace again next time we need an overnight sitter for Frankie.”
About: Hi, I’m Taylah! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12, helping raise Great Danes, a Husky, and puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and doggy day care. I also welcome holiday bookings—just send me a message! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I go on walks every day, so bringing a furry friend along is always a joy, not a task. Whether it’s morning strolls or evening wind-downs, I’m already active and outdoors, which makes it easy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just a little extra love throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax, with plenty of room to play and nap. I follow their regular routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s comfort zone. I keep things consistent by sticking to your pet’s usual routine, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well-cared for—whether they’re in my home or their own.

Your pup will be treated like family with love and attention. I offer a secure fenced backyard where your pet can play with my friendly pups, or, if preferred, a calm space for quiet rest. Crating is available if needed.
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”

We have 3 very friendly dogs with a large fenced in backyard for plenty of playroom. We also have separate areas of the house your animal can stay if needed.
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. She communicated with us throughout our trip and asked us questions if there were any uncertainties about their care. They had a nice sized backyard they could run around and I appreciated that she replicated the sort of accommodations they were used to in our home. When I went to pick up our dogs, she provided me with thorough updates and I could tell our doggies were pleased with her care. I would definitely book Jessie again!”
“Aiden, you did such an amazing job caring for Finn while we were away. I’m glad you got to know him well before our trip. I’m glad I found you and hope Finn can stay with you again one day.”
“Mayra was the best! It was our first experience doing onboarding with a person we didn't know, Mayra made it great. She kept us updated and sent us photos and videos of our cutie. She was really sweet, and our furbaby felt happy and safe while she was with her and her family. I definitely recommend her, we won't hesitate to leave Godiva with her again.”
“Marina was very flexible in terms of setting up a meet and greet and the actual dog sitting stay as well. Marina’s home seems like a very happy place for dogs. Marina is good about staying in touch and sending pictures. Our girl Nata seemed to have had a nice stay and we certainly would use Marina again if she was available and interested. We appreciate you Marina!”
“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”
“We are so happy we found Laurie to take care of our 12 year old Aussie. After the initial meet and greet she was able to take him in for a few nights while we were on travel at the last minute. Laurie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching. All of the other dogs that she watches were all really friendly as well and we are really grateful that’s he got a lot of playtime in her fenced in back yard. Laurie was also super communicative and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. They took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to the pets they care for. I was absolutely delighted with the experience and would trust them again without hesitation. Thank you for treating my furry baby like family!”

Rosalina did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!
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.
Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!
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.

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 Woodlea 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 Woodlea.
<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 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 , 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.
