Layna was a great sitter for my dog. He is still young and active, and he came home ready for a restful evening after quick run around home. Upon returning home, I think my dog may have missed having another dog to occupy his indoor time. I will definitely use Layna for future bookings.

Hillary and her family are amazing! We live about 40 minutes away, but as soon as we got there, we immediately felt like their land was a perfect place for dogs to play. So, it was worth the drive! Hillary was so kind and her kids were very friendly. Daisy felt comfortable in their home right away. She had another puppy staying there over the weekend and her own dog Joshua. I was a little worried about how my puppy would do with other dogs and children, but seeing her play with them before I left was so comforting. Hillary has a background in puppy training and I could tell just by how she interacted with Daisy and the other pup. Hillary was great with communication and sent pictures every day! Daisy always looked happy and having a wonderful time! Most of the time, when I send Daisy somewhere, I feel sad knowing she’ll spend the majority of the time in a crate, but this was the complete opposite! Daisy basically got a vacation while we were gone. Haha. Thank you, Hillary! We really appreciate you!

I left my elderly dog with Brenda and am very pleased! This was my first time ever leaving her with someone I didn’t previously know, so I was nervous about it! Brenda, however, was awesome and took great care of her. She sent a lot of pictures and updates and stayed in communication with me consistently. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!

I’m tremendously excited because I have found my fur baby an excellent sitter. Kari has been a heaven sent. It was during an emergency that I found her listed here on Rover. She created a wonderful atmosphere to care for my fur baby while I was away. She followed all my instructions and even sent a photo during his stay. He was a happy bean when I returned to pick him up. I love it, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for my next getaway.

Very highly recommended! Chantal and her husband were great caretakers for our two dogs for a week’s time — even more than we could have expected. They have a beautiful, spacious, safe place — both indoors and for when they had to go outside. My husband and I felt 100% comfortable leaving them there while we were away. From the beginning during our meet-and-greet through pick-up at the end of our trip, we saw just how kind and calm they were, treating our dogs just like their own dog and providing lots of interaction and play. Also, Chantal was extremely accommodating of our 7 month old puppy’s “puppy behavior” and attentive to the need to go outside more frequently. She provided updates every day (and was very responsive to other questions) and we could see just how relaxed our pups were, as if they were staying with family. We are definitely planning on using Chantal’s services the next time we need to go out of town.

Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Trooper helped us out by boarding our recently adopted Shih Tzu Stanley over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our new fur baby came to us with somewhat severe behavioral issues and was not ready for a large get together with kids so we reluctantly decided to board him during our travels. After connecting with Trooper, we had every confidence that Stanley's aggressiveness would not be problematic during his stay, and were so pleased with how well he was cared for. We received updates and pictures and were so relieved he received a safe, warm and friendly place to stay. Trooper has a huge dog-friendly compound where his dogs and those who he boards have plenty of room for running and playing, and a fantastic heated kennel house where the dogs are safe and protected from the elements. We provided all of Stanley's food, treats and creature comforts so he would feel more at home, and he was in very good spirits when we came to retrieve him. We would definitely trust Trooper with Stanley or or other senior Shih Tzu in the future. Highly recommend!!!

Katie goes beyond with my Gabe. Katie sent updates and pictures during his stay. You know your pet is in the best hands they can be in without you. She includes your fur babies in family functions and your fur baby will become part of the family during their stay. We will be booking again.

Dana did a great job of watching our little bichon, Oscar, who got a lot of personalized attention and was welcomed into their family life just like their own dog (who is also super cute and who Oscar got along with great). I would happily book with Dana again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Appomattox

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Appomattox on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Appomattox. 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 Appomattox 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 Appomattox.

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 Appomattox 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.
