“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”
“Michelle is awesome and my Goldendoodle Tofu loves spending his “vacations” with her. We’ve used her three times and will always check to see if she’s available first when we need a pet sitter for family vacations. Instead of being scared to left with someone, Tofu runs to her door, excited for his stay. Michelle is also great about sending us updates and videos on Tofu.”
“Prisila did a great job taking care of my two cats in her home. She sent updates with photos and both cats seemed happy with her. We’ll definitely rebook with her in the future.”

“Lauren is amazing. She sent so many videos and pics and provided tons of info to keep us from worrying about the pup while we were away. Loki made so many friends and was well taken care of. Will be using again. Thanks Lauren and Bentley!!!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Han was great with Calla! She provided so many updates which I appreciated and loved. It helped ease my worries about Calla. Han also requested to meet Calla prior to drop to ensure it was a good fit, which gave me reason that Han knows how to handle dogs easily. I could not recommend Han more!”
“Carrie and Matthew were absolutely amazing! They were able to watch our pup on short notice and couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating. They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We highly recommend them and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs!”
“Isabelle and her mom cared for Bailey like she was their own! I received videos and updates every day and they were very accommodating with keeping her routines like morning greenies :) I could tell when I picked her up that Bailey was very loved all weekend long!”
“Zeta is our beloved 9yr old, 7lb havanese dog who never does well when we travel, until now. Sophie, her dog Love, and their family took wonderful care of zeta, sending us multiple photos a day. We are so happy to have found Sophie.”
“A wonderful experience! With this being our first time away from our Oshie, we were nervous but Jona made us feel comfortable from the start. She kept us posted about Oshie’s adventures. Sending lots of pictures which we all loved. Oshie was all smiles when we picked him up. Would definitely use Jona again!!”

Mia was absolutely wonderful sitting my dog Blue while I was on vacation for a week! She provided consistent updates and sent plenty of pictures every day. She really went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Zosha took great care of my Ozzy boy. We did a meet and greet right before our 2 week trip and he was super accommodating and friendly. Zosha gave updates and pics throughout his stay and Ozzy had a great time. I would recommend Zosha and refer him to friends and family!
Louie had an amazing stay with Sarah! I never felt as comfortable leaving Louie with a sitter as I did with Sarah. He quickly adjusted to her home and I could tell from the numerous photos and videos that he was enjoying his time with her. Thanks Sarah! We will be rebooking in the future!
Sissi was the absolute best dog foster mom for my two dogs. She had no problem with their special home made food and they had such a good time playing in her back yard. Even more importantly, she loved on them and gave them so much attention! I could tell how happy they were in all the wonderful photos and videos she provided. She loved my dogs like they were her own and am so glad to have found a loving and caring dog sitter that I can use for when I need to travel or even doggy daycare. Fozzie and Jerry send their love!!
Always a joy having Banjo stay with Kevin and his amazing family. They do such an amazing job taking care of him and communicating with us. Feels like he’s almost always sad to leave them! They do a great job with daily updates and photos, and lots of snuggles. Thanks Kevin and fam!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bel Air is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Bel Air can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bel Air 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 Bel Air.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bel Air. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bel Air 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
