“PC and Will did a tremendous job at ensuring we felt comfortable after leaving Monty with them for the first time. They sent photos daily and were more than willing to converse via text when necessary. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new Rover!!”

About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

“Kayce did an excellent job taking care of our Golden Retriever! She was very communicative from the beginning of the booking all the way throughout the stay. During the stay, she sent daily photos with updates and stories of how our dog was having a great time with her dog and family. We will definitely use her again for future needs.”

“Gulmira was so great with our shy girl Sophie! She sent plenty of updates and was very communicative, helping us feel very comfortable leaving Sophie there for the first time! It’s clear Sophie was loved so much while she was there too and she was also exercised very well, got plenty of walks and time to explore, and made some doggy friends along the way. We are so pleased with the stay and could not recommend Gulmira more! She’s definitely a great choice if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and is kind and patient with animals.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 3 years, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re well taken care of. I’ve watched dogs with different needs, including giving medication when needed and caring for multiple dogs in one day. I’m very reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone, and I want you to feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a supervisor, but I have a good work-life balance that allows me to make time for pet sitting. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets while working. I’m also off on weekends, so I have more availability to spend time with your fur babies! I love being able to give pets attention, companionship, and care while making sure they feel safe and comfortaable. My apartment neighborhood has a couple of dog parks, and there are also plenty of nearby trails where I can take dogs for walks and let them enjoy some fresh air. When I’m caring for a dog, I typically take them outside 3–4 times a day for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. I love making sure they get the attention, activity, and care they need. When staying in your home to care for your pets, I’ll also make sure your home is well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, mindful of your pet’s routine, and will make sure everything is kept clean.

“I recently had a fantastic experience with Tayana through Rover while looking for care for our dog, Willow. We had to book last minute due to a sudden change in our sitter situation, and it was during the busy Christmas holiday. Tayana was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. From the moment we arrived, Tayana and her family welcomed us warmly. Her kids immediately started playing with Willow, which put my mind at ease knowing she would be in good hands. Tayana took the time to introduce Willow to her own dogs after we left, and she kept us updated throughout the day with adorable pictures and even a video of Willow having a blast with her new furry friend, Louie. It was heartwarming to see Willow so happy and engaged, playing and making new friends. Tayana’s attentiveness and care truly made a difference, and I felt confident that Willow was not just being watched but was genuinely enjoying her time. I will definitely be using Tayana's services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Tayana, for taking such great care of Willow!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Blackstone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Blackstone is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $42 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 71 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blackstone. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% of sitters in Blackstone 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 Blackstone home-away-from-home, 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 Blackstone.

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 Blackstone 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 , 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 .

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.
