“Kristyna took such great care of our pup while we were out of town! She sent us updates and photos twice a day and we could see how much fun our dog had with her - from neighborhood walks, outdoor play, to indoor puzzles! Thanks Kristyna!”
“Janelle and her entire family are absolutely great! Our Boston terrier Sophie thinks of them as her second home. She gets so excited when we ask her, "Are you ready to go see Janelle?"”
“Christie has been nothing less than absolutely wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute change that added an additional four days to our pups’ stay at her home. She’s simply the best and we 100% will utilize her services again ❤️❤️❤️”
“Nicole has kept my boxer and Belgian shepherd 3-4 times now. The last time she kept them was during the weekend of Hurricane Matthew. We had been communicating over 2-3 weeks regarding an upcoming trip that would require going out of town with only 1-2 days notice. Nicole was very accommodating and also very empathetic to my situation. Her communications helped put me at ease during what was an otherwise very stressful situation. When I had concerns over leaving the dogs during the hurricane (even though it had mostly turned away at that point) and queried Nicole, I was impressed with all of the preparation Nicole had done to make sure her family and her charges would be taken care of. My dogs always seem happy when I drop them off which tells me a lot.”
“Marjorie is truly the best and her family is so lovely! They really do treat Lucha like their own (and their kid seems to think it's the family dog at this point!) and I always know when Lucha stays with them that she is well taken care of”
“Sampson was well cared for at Julie’s and had a blast! He came home so exhausted (from playing) that he literally slept for HOURS! I also really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent me … it makes leaving him so much easier… We will definitely be seeing Julie again.”
“Buddy had the best time playing with Rhonda’s fur babies! She took great care of him and made sure to send me picture updates. I would definitely use her again😊”
“Ben is amazing, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. I have two boys with very different personalities, and he has been incredibly patient and caring with both of them. His communication is excellent, and I always feel comfortable and confident leaving my two crazy boys in his care. Thank you, Ben, for taking such great care of them!”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“Chris takes such good care of my little fella that Dash looks forward to seeing him and knows he will get lots of walks, love and attention during his stay. I think he’s fantastic!”
“I cannot recommend Nina enough! From the moment I left my dog in her care, I felt completely at ease. She provided regular updates, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I always knew how my pups were doing. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Patricia took great care of my dog, and I think he really enjoyed his time with her and her family. She sent lots of updates and photos, which really eased my mind! I will definitely use her in the future, and recommend her!”
“Jenn provided a comfortable stay and excellent care to our pup during an extended stay. Despite our pup going through some emotions to start her stay, Jenn was able to support her and make her feel welcome so that she was back to her playful, snuggly self within a short time there. Jenn provided regular updates and was very responsive. We would definitely book again!”
“Linda is great. I have used her twice and she does an amazing job caring for my two dogs. She has become my permanent sitter on Rover and I plan to always use her in the future if she is available. Highly recommend.”
“Leslie was amazing! Our dogs are generally not good around strangers or other dogs so it becomes very difficult to find a dog boarder. Leslie's exceptional experience with dogs kept them right at home at her place. I was hesitant because she has a young daughter but she insisted that they became best friends. Her love and care towards animals showed and I would trust her over and over again to take care of my fur children. Thanks Leslie!”
“This was my first time using Gloria’s services and it was such a good experience for me. My 9 month old Goldendoodle stayed with her a week and seemed to love it there! Gloria is extremely attentive to your pet and there is never a lack of updates and pics/videos. Gloria takes this job very seriously and constantly interacts with your furry ones… they aren’t just pushed to the side. She does her utmost to maintain any meal / sleep / potty schedule you already have in place. She will definitely be one of my first “go tos” in the future!!!”
“Very caring, loooved the pictures of Bella snuggling with Max (shawn's pup), and them playing together. Very respectful of our requests! Would leave Bella there again without a doubt!”
“Wendy and Johnny took wonderful care of Clark Kent during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well cared for while I was away. Their thoughtful updates and photos meant the world to me and made it so much easier to be apart from him. It was clear they genuinely cared about Clark and treated him like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and look forward to booking with them in the future. Tell Dennis Clark appreciated his company and sharing his space with him. Thank you both for taking such great care of my little buddy!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Incredibly responsive from start to finish and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received updates and pictures, which made it so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for my Cocoa was. My flight was delayed and I had no issues with adding an extra day. It was obvious Cocoa received lots of attention, love, and care, treating her like one of their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I truly appreciated the extra effort they put into keeping me informed throughout the stay. I will 100% book again 💕 I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. I will absolutely book again!
This was Billy’s very first time being boarded, and Chelsea made the entire experience so easy and stress-free for us. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond to make sure Billy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were enjoying our vacation in Virginia Beach. It was obvious that she truly cared about Billy as if he were her own. Chelsea was always available to answer our questions, incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. Billy came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for taking such amazing care of our sweet pitbull!

I could not recommend Taylor enough. I have a high energy, very large puppy. I’m also in the process of training my dog and Taylor was so willing to continue all of my training and work with Racer while he was watching him. He also sent TONS of updates and pictures. There was not a single moment that I was worried about Racer. I had 100% confidence that Racer was on the best hands possible and I would recommend Taylor to any pet parent out there.
Alex was wonderful! She accommodated us within an hour of booking after we realized our hotel wasn’t pet‑friendly. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really eased our nerves since it was our first time boarding our dog. She made the whole experience comfortable and stress‑free. Thank you Alex!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Virginia Beach on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 881 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.
97% 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.
