“Ari took such good care of Stella!! I received updates and photos every day. You could tell Stella was having an awesome time. Ari was very accommodating of Stellas needs as an older dog with knee issues. Her home is so dog friendly with plenty of places for Stella to rest and explore. She was also very understanding and flexible with my travel plans. Would 1000% recommend, and Stella will be back here for sure”

She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“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”

“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”

They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.”

“If we could give Rikki a 20 star rating we would!! Our sweet Izzy can be a handful/challenge but Rikki quickly figured her out beautifully! Rikki stayed on top of Izzy’s medication, understood her issues and somehow managed to keep up with Miss Izzy and her ways! Rikki sent pictures and updates which we loved- knowing Izzy was cared for made us relax!! We truly/ honestly can’t say enough positive things about Rikki! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Izzy! If we say more, Rikki may be too booked to keep Izzy in the future!! Definitely recommend Rikki!!!”

Zach did an amazing job of keeping me updated and checking in, and was very flexible when my flight home got delayed.”

I can’t say enough good things about her. I will absolutely be using her every time I go out of town. Her house was an incredible set up for dogs, especially the backyard.

Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”

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 Pet Boarding - Afton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 802 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Afton. About 93% of Afton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
