“Elizabeth is ALWAYS fantastic with Gator. He loves going to her house and I love that I can drop him off and enjoy my time out of town knowing that he is happy and safe.”
“We just moved to the area and Pamela and Paul watched our anxious dog Harley for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Harley did not show any of her typical anxiety cues and she had a great time at their home and with their sweet dog Marlowe. I highly recommend them as sitters and we look forward to more stays in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up in a home with three cats and regularly pet sat for dogs and cats. Today, I have an 80-pound dog and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of finding a reliable, caring sitter who treats your pets like family. I have a flexible schedule and work from home on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I’m also home on the weekends and can arrange my schedule around your pet’s stay to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. My home has a fenced in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and play. I also have two cats who can be kept completely separate from visiting pets as needed. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether we’re going for walks, playing with favorite toys, spending time in the backyard, or simply relaxing together, I want your pup to feel right at home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind and makes your dog’s time away from you as happy and stress free as possible! I will plan my schedule around your pet’s stay so they aren’t left alone.

“Cyndi took great care of my Tito! She sent lots of pictures, let him sleep with her, and gave him lots of love to make his weekend just like being at home. Tito had so much fun!”
“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”
“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!”
“Absolutely love Terry! First of all she loves Peanut and she asks questions! Peanut had a great time I could tell. Glad we found her she is truly amazing with dogs!”
“I left my 11 year old dog Zee for 4 days and went out of town. I received updates and pictures 3-4 times a day. Zee did not eat much the first day from her bowl so was "hand fed" by Radka to ensure she ate some....OMG! We discussed by text and made a food substitution that worked out..Radka went out and purchased the food with her own funds! She took care of my Zee like she was hers...She walked her, played with her, indulged her, and spoiled her (to be honest)..I felt so happy and contented with the care that I never worried like usual. My family joked that Zee would not want to return home.. Radka's adorable kids even helped out with Zee. What more could I ask for?..this was THE BEST experience i ever had with doggie care in 10 years!! Many thanks to this awesome family..I hope they don't get too popular and unable to take Zee next time I travel..”
“Susan was so great at communicating and sending pictures of my sweet boy Frisco! I definitely feel like we have found our Dog Sitter! Very smooth meet and greet and they worked things out with me when I was running late for pick up! I definitely will be calling again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Hilary took care of my dog, Penny, for 10 days. She did an awesome job! I got photo updates every couple days. Penny went on a hike and took a couple trips to the dog park. Hilary was very receptive to any needs Penny had and was very fast to answer questions. I would definitely use her again!”
“Laura was wonderful. We liked her immediately and she was really good with my dog Banksy. When we walked in her home I knew we had made the right choice. Banksy got a lot of attention from Laura and had fun playing with her dog Daisy in the backyard. We really appreciated the videos and pictures she sent as well.”
“Ayme was great! Great communication, several photos of our dog, and flexible when we needed help due to the weather and a flight delay. Took great of our dog”
“Niki as always is so great with our dog Moose! He’s happy to see her and likes staying with her 🩷. Her home is always clean and inviting. We feel very comfortable leaving Moose with Niki.”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”
About: I no longer have our own dog after losing my beautiful lab last year. I now want to be a pet sitter for cuddles and have a private home for your dogs comfort. I work full time from home and take frequent walks outside. Your pet will have constant companionship. A routine schedule is welcomed to ensure your pet stays on track! I do have a fenced yard. I do not have a crate or bedding which would need to be provided for your pet along with any necessary instructions.
“PC and Will were a dream to work with. I was concerned that our pup (who has never been around cats) might not do well with cats. They suggested we do a meet n greet. That meeting went well even with the cat! Their dog Ivy and our Cooper enjoyed running circles in their large back yard.”
“Grace is amazing! She took wonderful care of Boogie and sent us tons of pics of our lil guy! Communicative and friendly — I had such great peace of mind while we were away and knew he was in good hands. Boogie came back a happy dog :-) Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and even volunteered at an SPCA when I was younger. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since 2015, including my senior pup, Kobe, whom I’ve raised since the day he was born! He was one of my first dog’s puppies, so I’ve had the special experience of caring for a dog through every stage of life, from newborn puppy to senior companion. Today, I’m the proud parent of two dogs, Kobe and Walter. They’ve taught me that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ As a dog mom of two, pet care is already part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I currently work Tuesday through Friday, but I’m fully available on weekends and Mondays! I’m also available for evening walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 PM Tuesday through Friday. I offer overnight boarding in my home, as well as flexible scheduling for walks and drop-in visits. For boarding, there are two adults in our household who help ensure your pup is fed, walked, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! For the safety and comfort of all our furry friends, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting any boarding reservations. This gives your pup a chance to meet my two dogs, helps us make sure everyone gets along, and allows us to discuss your pet’s routine, personality, and any special care needs. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priorities! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I share my home with two dogs, Kobe and Walter, and understand the importance of proper introductions, respecting boundaries, and giving each dog their own space. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to seniors, and always strive to make each pup feel right at home. When I’m away, dogs are safely crated separately to prevent unsupervised interactions. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care routines as closely as possible, and provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in loving hands!

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.
97% of sitters in Woods Acres 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 Woods Acres 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 Woods Acres.
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 Woods Acres. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Woods Acres 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.
