“Ray with hands down the best sitter I have used on Rover. He went out of his way to make sure Coby and I were 100% comfortable during his day. Coby is a 60 pound puppy with a lot of energy and loves to be with other dogs, Ray clearly has a ton of experience with larger dog breeds, and ensuring they’re well taken care of. His own dog and another were staying with him during the weekend as well which made Coby’s time even better. Ray was an active communicator and sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend. . He also went out of his way to do fun activities, and make sure Coby was getting plenty of exercise. Will be using Ray as my go-to sitter from here on out. Highly recommend his services if you are looking for a high quality, experienced, and thorough dog walker and sitter.”
“LeAnne and Debbie are absolutely amazing! Our dog is very anxious around other dogs, and they went above and beyond to make accommodations so he could adjust comfortably and feel safe in their home. They kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for he was. You can truly tell they love what they do and treat every dog as if it were their own. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet isn’t easy, but LeAnne and Debbie exceeded every expectation. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care they gave our dog, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with them again. We highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, dependable, and professional pet sitters!”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“Tatiana was amazing. Great communication and our dogs were very happy with her right away. One is a nervous pup, so this was really good. She sent photos and was flexible with us and our timing. ✨✨✨”
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Helen watching our energetic maltipoo, Yuki! Yuki is full of energy and loves lots of attention, and Helen handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to keep them happy and engaged. Yuki came home relaxed and content, which says a lot! We really appreciated the updates and photos during the stay—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Helen for anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter for their pup!!”
“Being new to the community and with minimal support I instantly became more at ease with the consistent communication. I highly recommend and will book services again and will recommend others as well! Thank you for being good to Romeo!”
About: I bring over 30 years of dog ownership and care experience, along with the patience and responsibility that comes from raising four children. I specialize in providing calm, structured, one-on-one care in a quiet home setting. I focus on small to medium, well-mannered, low-shedding dogs who thrive in a relaxed environment. While I do work full-time, my schedule is flexible and I live very close to both work and home, allowing me to easily check in on pets throughout the day. I intentionally limit my pet care to ensure each dog receives quality attention, structure, and a calm environment. My primary availability is weekends, where I provide focused, hands-on care. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, structured, and loving environment where they are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean space and closely follow each pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I provide regular check-ins, attention, and supervision throughout their stay. Safety, comfort, and consistency are always my top priorities. In addition, I am a big walker and enjoy multiple 20 - 30 minute walks a day with my Goldendoodle and whatever friend is visiting with her.
“Our dog, Molly, was so happy with Judy! This was our first time having Molly stay with someone. Judy was great with her! She sent us pictures of Molly's overnight and daytime activities. They clicked and we were assured that Judy was right in tune with Molly's needs and wants. We will definitely use Judy again!”
“Smitha was wonderful with Kylo, she gave him the personal care he needed and was in touch with us throughout the stay. Provided daily videos and pictures. Kylo was a happy pup upon his return.”
“Ella was excellent with my 2 Boston Terriers! She provided updates and pictures throughout the 2 day stay. She offered daily walks & extended play time sessions (she might need a shoulder massage after throwing the ball for hours, lol). If you're looking for a worry-free, safe, fun, place to board you're dogs, definitely contact Ella! She's found a repeat customer here!”
“Elizabeth has been an absolute gem in taking care of our dog, Rex. Her natural affinity for animals and her compassionate approach made Rex feel at home instantly. She went above and beyond, providing regular updates and ensuring Rex was happy and engaged. Elizabeth treated Rex as her own, with all the care and affection he could wish for. We're so grateful to have found such a reliable and loving second home for Rex. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch pet care!”
“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”

I am so grateful that Kristen agreed to sit my pup last minute. From the moment I dropped Blaize off, I knew he would be in good hands. Kristen was kind and proactively asked questions about how to take care of him. She sent regular updates and I could tell he was getting lots of love & attention. He seemed calm & relaxed when I picked him up, which is always a good sign. Would definitely book Kristen again!
Alexa was amazing!! Communication was so easy from start to finish, and she took such great care of my puppy! She kept me updated throughout the entire process, which really gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciated how attentive and caring she was. Thank you so much, Alexa!! Highly recommend! ❤️
Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.
Ali was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with me throughout Bruno’s stay and sent plenty of pictures, which I really appreciated. She took great care of Bruno, and I could tell he had an amazing time! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ali again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
My pups had an amazing time with Deborah and she is our regular sitter. I know Oreo and Charlie are well cared for and they have the best time playing at Deborah’s. We are so blessed to have met her and she is the best sitter by far I’ve ever trusted to watch my dogs. We love her!
Jenny was a wonderful host and took care of Rio , our one-year-old Frenchie. She communicated frequently with photos and videos of Rio and kept us updated. Above all, we could see how Jenny and her family , including young kids genuinely cared for Rio and also enjoyed his company.
Daphne & Maria were absolutely amazing to our girls! This was a first time booking for us and they were so wonderful & made us feel so comfortable. They gave us regular updates, sent lots of photos, & since it was our wedding weekend, this helped me feel at ease so much that they were in such wonderful hands!!! She was truly wonderful & I couldn’t recommend booking her enough.
Rasleen is amazing. She was so kind to take our Simba last minute due to an unplanned trip. She took such beautiful care of him and sent us pictures of him throughout the day. She was very loving to our Simba and felt so peaceful leaving him with her. Thank you so much Rasleen. We will definitely stay in touch for our future trips.
I just can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Katrina. It was just like leaving my two sibling Schnauzers with trusted family. It is obvious that she loves dogs and my pups were instantly comfortable around her. Katrina asked many questions about the pups prior to their stay, so I was very comfortable that she was very invested in their well being. She also has many friends and family that came to love on the pups, and I know they were well comforted, taken care off and entertained. She sent me many pictures and updates to assure me that the pups were comfortable in their surroundings. She lives in such a beautiful area with many nice walking trails which they loved. I will definitely be using Katrina in the future as my pet sitter!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Broadlands is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 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 Broadlands 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 Broadlands 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 Broadlands.
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 Broadlands. 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 Broadlands 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.
