“Rachel was responsive, flexible, and communicative through our dog's stay! She seemed to have a great time with Rachel and her pups, who seemed to be very tolerant of our lovely but occasionally bossy dog. Her property is nice and large for ample outside time and Basil was definitely well exercised. We would gladly use her again!”
“We were so happy to find a dog sitter in the Bristol area, after our former sitter retired. Ken is very personable and loves dogs. Our Maltipoo has separation anxiety and seemingly needs extra attention and assurance when we are away. Ken kept in touch with photos and updates, to let us know that Murphy was adjusting and doing well. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services.”
“Great person and great place for my old buddy to hang out for the week. Immediately felt safe when dropping Iko off, and picked up a very happy (and tired!) dog a week later. He seemed like he had a lot of fun and his separation anxiety seemed totally nonexistent, which has not always been the case with other sitters. Will hire Gracie again in a heartbeat, and strongly recommend to others!”
“Alyson was very professional. I truly believe she took care of my Blake as if he were hers. Her communication skills were superb. She sent me pictures because she knew this was my first time doing this. I would recommend her to anybody. I would absolutely book her for Blake again.”
“Our puppy had a great time playing and running in Carlos’s large backyard with the other dogs she was watching. She had a wonderful 3 night stay and Carola send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated! We can’t thank her enough!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“You will be very impressed with Erica. My Huckleberry Finn adores her! She will send you pictures and updates the whole time she has your fur baby. Also she takes them for walks and play time”
“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Honestly we couldnt pick anyone better! She is so kind and understanding. Did amazing with my 2 pups! We absolutely are using Kourtney everytime we need dog care in the future. Seeing the antics they got into with her was so fun! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Jacades and her husband kept our 2 frenchies for 9 nights with short notice. She sent updates and responded to messages quickly. Super friendly. My little guys came home in good shape and slept the day away so they were tired. Will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Roosevelt had a great time staying with Melissa and her sweet family! We booked last minute, but Melissa was extremely accommodating, even on short notice. She sent regular check-ins and was very easy to communicate with, always responding promptly and sharing detailed updates on what Roosevelt had been up to. Her house had a large fenced-in backyard that was perfect for running around, and a cute neighborhood for walks. I will absolutely be booking with Melissa again, and would recommend her to friends and family.”
“Kelley has been absolutely amazing with my dogs! Thank you for all the photos and FaceTimes! Without a doubt, I would use your services again. Thank you for taking such great care of Aubri and Remi! 💛”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”
“There are no words to even begin to describe how much care Leigha puts into making Jackson feel at home and loved! It's always reassuring when I do have to leave Jackson to know he's in great hands!!! Thank you so much for taking amazing care of my baby boy!”

Both stays with Tara the past month have been great! She really loves dogs and stays with them to be sure they don't get lonely. She's very good about sending pictures and video as well. Our little dog loved the walks and playing n the backyard with a few other small dogs. He was happy and exhausted when he got home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Abingdon on Rover is $44.4 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 59 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Abingdon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Abingdon 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 Abingdon.
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 Abingdon 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.
