“I had an amazing experience with this sitter! They took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town and kept me updated the entire time. I really appreciated the pictures and check-ins, it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. You can tell they truly care about the pets they watch. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! Highly recommend. 🐾”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Patricia and her family have been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! This was our first time we have ever had to leave our boy and go on a trip where he couldn’t come with us. Patricia has been great with communication since the moment we booked with her. We went to have a meet and greet. She had already read our profile. She made sure to have some of his favorite foods even on the first day for him to enjoy. She kept in regular contact with us and responded very quickly to messages. She sent pictures with regular updates. It was obvious our boy was very well cared for and loved. It was important for me to find someone with the schedule that fit most to what he is used to. Our boy is used to having someone home most of the time. Patricia’s schedule allows that. He was never left alone between Patricia and her sons. They did a fantastic job which definitely helped to ease our anxiety. Our boy was in very good loving hands while we were on our trip. Should we ever need Rover services again we will be repeat customers. Thank you so much to Patricia and her wonderful family!”
“Lottie has so much fun here! It is so wonderful to be able to relax when I go away, knowing that she is happy and well cared for. They send pictures of her while she's there to let me know how she's doing.”
“Karen was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our pup! She provided great updates and pictures of our pup throughout her stay, had a spacious and lovely backyard for playing and sunbathing, and gave us some flexibility on day of pick-up. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter”
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“christie & her family were so awesome! she sent me pictures of my dog & he acted like he didn’t even want to come home when it was time to pick him up! :) i will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful with our 2 boys, who are relatively new rescues. We had never left them with anyone before. She is kind and patient. Our boys were treated very well. She sent us daily updates. I highly recommend Lisa! We have already made another reservation with her.”
“Mikaelan did a WONDERFUL job with my buddy while I was gone! Lots of exercise and exceptional care. I would HIGHLY recommend her to board your dog with, and next time I'm out of town, I'll book with her again!”
“My dogs are just as happy to arrive at Kristyna’s house as they are to leave. She takes excellent care of them. She gives them play time, snuggles and fun treats. I love the photo updates as well. Thank you!!!”
“Very good first impression on Janelle. She has a nice yard for the dogs. She seemed well experienced and knowledgeable with caring for the pups. Also very flexible with a few hour changes. Glad to have found her! Oogi is happy and healthy when we picked him up.”
“Benjamin did a great job watching my dog for over a week, and kept me updated throughout her stay. He's flexible, responsive, and super friendly. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole's instructions for drop off and pick up were clear and easy to follow. My dog seemed like she had a good time and I plan to book with Nicole again next time we need boarding.”
“Linda watched our dog while we were out of town this past weekend and we could not have been happier with our experience. Linda quickly responded to our request and questions, and was communicative all weekend. Booking was easy and drop off/pickup was flexible and smooth. We received updates everyday and several pictures of how Gunner was doing during his stay. In all the pictures you could tell that Gunner felt right at home and when we picked him up he was exhausted from playing. Linda went above and beyond to make Gunner feel at home and make us feel at ease leaving him. We will definitely be using Linda again and would 100% recommend her.”

Monika did an incredible job with our dogs! I could definitely tell she was experienced and also just loved dogs. She provided pictures and updates every day which really provided peace of mind as well. Our dogs loved her and came back to us happy, I would definitely send them back to her in the future!

Finding a good sitter who meets the needs of our dog has been hard, but Chelsea checks ALL of the boxes. She communicated with us every day and often sent pictures. I was able to truly relax on our vacation knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you, Chelsea, and we will definitely book with you again for our future travels.
Jessica is amazing. She watched our rescue beagle who can be very anxious. Jessica was very patient accommodating and kept us very informed about Malias days and nights. She sent us tons of pics so we could see our girl was doing great with her. Highly recommend Jessica and hope to use her in the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Virginia Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Virginia Beach on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Virginia Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Virginia Beach sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Virginia Beach landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach.
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.
You and your Virginia Beach 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.
