“The boarding of my dog was fabulous. I got regular updates and photos to see how he was getting along with the other dog. when I picked him up He was nice and happy-naturally glad to see me- but still very happy with Tara. Their attention to detail was wonderful and I know he was taken care of with love. There was so much room for him to play and run and so many things to explore I know we had a terrific vacation with them. I am definitely going back.”
“This was an emergency stay and we only had a couple of days to book with Erin. Thank you for your accommodation Erin and thank you for taking care of our boy. He loves to come to your house and we love that he loves it! See you next time! As long as you stay in the business, we will support your services!!!! We appreciate all you that do. It makes it easier for us to do all that we do!!!!”
“Sarah and her family are the best. Murphy had such a good time, we didn't think he'd want to come home. Great communication and we had absolutely no worries. Thank you again!”
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”
“Emily was GREAT! As soon as we met her for a meet & greet prior to her dog sitting we knew she was perfect for our dog Pablo! Emily made me feel at ease by sending updates on Pablo and providing us pictures of Pablo as well. Definitely will rebook with her again!”
“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Christine! Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left. I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with her for the weekend and we will definitely be long term clients for her!”
“My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they receive individualized care and feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am currently working full-time, mostly remote with one or two days in the office each month. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a calm, attentive environment and carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life, have two dogs, my 8 year old Pomeranian, Toby, and my 2 year old lab scout. We also have 3 cats; Finn, Sassy and sully I’m currently a stay at home mom raising my 14 month old son. He usually comes with me to do my rovers and does really well with animals as he has a bunch at home. He’s usually kept busy with toys or a movie while I do drop ins. We have house sitted before and he’s done well with that. My dogs are let out every two - four hours . My cats are fed twice daily once in the morning and again before bedtime but dry food is left out all day for grazing.
“Emily was great. It seems like our dog, Simba, had a good time under her roof. She was responsive and sent photos of what Simba was up to. We’d definitely book again in the future. Thanks Emily!”
“Teela was great and Gunner had such an amazing time with her and Daisy! I was updated throughout his stay and got plenty of photos to support that. Pick and drop off was efficient and Teela’s response time is impeccable. We will definitely be back!”
About: For us, pet care isn't a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. We've been inseparable from animals since childhood, spending both our formative years training and exploring with our own trusted companions. That childhood passion evolved into a lifelong commitment; today, my husband (Micah) and I are known by friends and family as the "pet whisperers." We have a natural instinct for animal body language and an innate ability to make even the most nervous pups feel right at home. Why Choose Our Home? When your dog stays with us, they aren't just being watched—they are joining our family. We offer: Lifelong Expertise: Decades of experience handling various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Training-Focused Play: I’ve carried my love for training into adulthood, meaning I’m happy to reinforce your house rules or practice basic commands during our play sessions. The Power of Two: With both my husband and me dedicated to your pet’s care, there is always a lap available for cuddles and an extra set of eyes on the yard. One of the best parts of staying with us is the built-in social life! We are proud parents to three well-socialized dogs who truly love making new friends. Because our three have such distinct personalities, we’ve found that almost any visiting guest finds a "soulmate" in our pack. There's the gentle soul (Dom), the endless playmaker (Milo) and the sweet social butterfly (Izzy). We’ve seen it time and time again—no matter the temperament, at least one (and usually all three!) of our dogs will inevitably click with your fur baby. They provide great company during the morning hours, ensuring your pet feels like a member of the family from the moment they walk through the door. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer or a senior who just wants to sniff the country air, we provide a structured, loving environment where they can thrive while you're away. Your dog will never feel alone here! In the early morning hours, they’ll have our three social pups to keep them company and burn off energy. From lunchtime onwards, Micah works from home, meaning there is a human on-site for the majority of the day to oversee potty breaks, backyard explorations, and afternoon naps. We’ve found this routine works wonders for dogs who love having a pack to hang out with while still getting plenty of one-on-one human attention. We’ve carefully introduced many guest dogs to our trio, and we always ensure everyone is comfortable and safe before leaving them to bond. We have room to keep your pet separate but comfortable if they prefer their own space. 2-Acre Nature Retreat with Fenced Yard & In-Ground Pool! We believe that a vacation should be stress-free for both you and your pet. Our home is designed to be a haven where safety meets serenity. Safety & Serenity: Our home sits on 2 acres of stunning natural beauty, featuring a fully fenced-in (chain link) backyard. It’s the perfect blend of high-energy zoomies and peaceful nature watching. Whether your dog wants to sprint across the grass or simply observe the local birds from the shade, they can do so in a completely secure, enclosed environment. As lifelong pet owners, we are hyper-aware of safety. We perform regular perimeter checks of our fencing and ensure all gates are double-latched. Trust Through Instinct: We don't just watch dogs; we understand them. Our natural instincts with animals allow us to read subtle body language, helping us prevent stress before it starts and ensuring all interactions between our pack and your pup are positive and balanced. Environment: Your dog will never be relegated to a garage or a kennel. They will have full access to our living space, comfortable rugs for napping, and constant climate control. We treat our guests exactly like we treat our own three—as members of the family. Peace of Mind for You We know how hard it is to leave your pup behind. To ensure you feel as relaxed as your dog, we provide: Frequent Updates: Photo and video check-ins so you can see the "zoomies" in action. Transparent Communication: We are always just a text away if you want to check in on their behavior, appetite, or mood. Vetted Companionship: Our three resident dogs are fully vaccinated, well-socialized, and expert hosts. In addition to our large fenced in yard, we feature a large in-ground pool for our water-loving guests! Supervised Splashing: For dogs who love the water, the pool offers a fantastic way to cool off and get some low-impact exercise. Whether it’s fetching a floating toy or just wading on the steps, it’s always a highlight of the stay. Safety First: We take pool safety very seriously. Access to the pool area is strictly supervised at all times. If your dog isn't a swimmer or you prefer they stay dry, we ensure the pool area is off-limits during their outdoor play sessions so they can focus on the grass and trails instead. Post-Swim Care: If your pup does take a dip, we’re happy to give them a quick freshwater rinse and a towel dry so they stay fresh and comfortable when they head back inside.
“Kashema is amazing. Maia was immediately at home when we arrived. She also managed to accommodate an extended stay, which made our traveling far less stressful. So grateful for her (and Maia is too ♥️).”
“I can’t say enough great things about Amanda L.! She is truly an amazing person who took care of my dog Polo like he was her own. She was always on time, polite, and incredibly professional. From the moment we met, I felt at ease knowing Polo was in good hands. Her warm energy and clear communication made everything smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet caregiver. Thank you, Amanda, for being so wonderful!”

93% of sitters in Zacata 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 Zacata 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 Zacata.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
