How do I post a boarding request? Alexandria, VA 22310. Desperate for my dog to board next week?

No, there is no way to post a dog sitter want ad on Rover. That is not how it is set up.

The dog owner has to search through listings to find a sitter. It is a shame that your initial contacts didn't work out. But booking first and asking questions later is not the way to go, especially when you have a dog with anxiety issues.

Select a number of sitters with a booking request and ask for a Meet & Greet, where you personally meet with the sitter(s), discuss your needs and expectations, view the premises, and see how the sitter plans to meet your needs. If the two of you click, then the sitter "accepts" the booking and you "confirm" it with Rover and payment is processed to Rover. That's how it should work ideally and it often requires some advanced planning.

Because your boarding needs are somewhat last minute, you might try calling Rover Customer Support for assistance. Their number is [Edit: Rover’s contact options have changed. Visit the Rover Help Center at https://support.rover.com/ to find the phone number, help articles, or chat with the team],

Because you need a sitter who only takes one pet at a time, doesn't have a pet of their own, and has a fenced-yard, that definitely limits things for you.

I am not available unfortunately. But some users are being beta tested for a posting feature. So if you don't have access to it yet- you may in the future!
