“Sure! Here’s a thoughtful review you can use: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amanda and Adam did an amazing job pet-sitting my dog over the weekend! They made sure she felt right at home, sending me daily updates and adorable pictures that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they truly cared for her, and I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciate their reliability and kindness, and I will absolutely continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!”

“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”

“Damacia is was amazing! I found him on Rover after reading through several reviews, and I’m so glad I chose him. He was very responsive and stayed in touch throughout my entire time away, including sending pictures and videos. My dog, Jaxson, has never been around other dogs before, so I know this was a new experience for him but based on the updates I received, he did great. Damacia made me feel completely at ease, and I now have a dog sitter I truly trust to care for Jaxson while I’m away. Highly recommend 🐾✨”

I honestly think Sawyer had just as much fun during her stay. Thanks again Matt! I really appreciate you and all you did for her.”

“Shannon was incredible! 12 outta 10 would recommend. It was the first time in two years I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in safe hands while I was away. She and her family took such good care of him and she sent me updates, photos, and videos every day. I was overjoyed to see how relaxed and happy he was (he legit seemed to be having his own little vacation!) So glad to have finally found a reliable caretaker who loves my pup as much as I do for when I’m out of town”

“As this was my first time using Rover, I was super nervous about leaving my baby. But the moment I dropped him off, I instantly felt at ease. From the regular check-ins to all the adorable pictures, I truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Loui. I was able to relax and fully enjoy my trip knowing he was in such great hands. I would 100% recommend Deven & Tyreek to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my baby! 🐾💕”

Kendra took such great care of our dog. She was very thoughtful in sending multiple updates throughout the day every day of our pets stay with her. She was also very responsive to all messages. We had no worries at all and would love to be able to have our pet stay with Kendra again in the future.

Amanda was amazing. Couldn’t ask for better person to leave our little Scarlet with. Scarlet didn’t want to eat so Amanda shared her dinner with her. Scarlet got lonely at night so Amanda slept beside her on the couch. She treated Scarlet like part of the family. Will definitely use her every time we get away.

Of course! Here it is with Tracey spelled correctly: Writing Miss Tracey was absolutely wonderful with my Milo! 🐾❤️ She did such a fabulous job taking care of him over the weekend, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, considerate, and attentive, and you can tell how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She always goes above and beyond to make sure Milo is happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and that means the world to me. I have complete peace of mind whenever he’s with her, which is priceless! I absolutely adore Miss Tracey, and she is without a doubt my go-to sitter for Milo. We are so lucky to have her! Thank you, Tracey, for always taking such amazing care of my boy. We appreciate you more than you know! 🐶💕

Best pet sitter around. My pup absolutely loves going to see Airlea and I don’t have to worry about bit if he is being taken care of. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day so I can see how much fun my dog is having. Half the time he isn’t ready to leave and wants to stay with her lol. If you are looking for a wonderful sitter for your 4 legged family, she is the one!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Afton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Afton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 784 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Afton. 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.

94% of Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton.

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 Afton 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.
