“We use Melanie every chance we get! It’s such a relief to know that Skipper is being cared for like one of her own dogs. Melanie has also been a great resource for helping us navigate Skipper’s digestive issues. I can’t recommend Melanie enough!”
“Hannah took great care of our dog while we were away. She sent us so many pictures and updates, took him on long “sniffaris,” and even took care of a little wound near his ear. Hannah is an experienced, caring, and dedicated sitter who clearly puts a lot of time and attention into the dogs she looks after. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in such good hands!”
“My loved dogs received excellent care! Lots of pics. Dogs were brushed and clean when I picked them up. Their tiny dog got along great with my bigger dogs! I recommend them and would use again.”
“Melissa was great ! All paws up here. She truly went above and beyond; she sent us daily updates on our Fancy (pictures and descriptions of her day) so we always knew how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again for our next vacation.”
“Melissa and Jeremy were amazing. We got daily photos and updates on how they were doing. Our pups were very well loved and seemed super comfortable the whole time. They took extra steps to help our anxious husky. I will definitely book again with them in the future and recommend them to all my friends.”
“Elisabeth did a great job keeping my pup. He was well cared for no doubt! I appreciated the pictures of him that you sent. I’m thankful to have found such a great sitter in this area!”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
“Michelle was amazing! She kept me well updated on my pup and made sure he have plenty of interaction. Definitely recommend her and her family to watch over your fur babies while on vacation.”
“All I have to say is that I will never take my furbabies to another sitter. Monica is fantastic! They went for walks and played lots! She is VERY understanding of the bullie breed. One of my dogs even had a small blister on his paw. She cleaned it, put on neosporin and wrapped it. I was so happy that she didnt just let it go even though we were picking up in a few short hours.”
“Vianca took great care of Bo for 36 hours. We received a picture at the end of day 1 and he looked happy. When we picked him up he was happy and enrrgetic showing he had received excellent care. Thank you!”
“Priscilla and her family were great for our dogs! They got tons of exercise and snuggles and we received tons of pictures and updates! The dogs seemed to enjoy it and we felt no worries about them at all. Their backyard is a dog paradise!”
“Mikaelan was great…very responsive and proactive about sending updates. Has two dogs which seemed to be very chill and get along with our dog seamlessly. 100% would use again”
“Ben was great! My dog Ice took a while to relax being in a new place, and Ben did his best to make sure his stay was as safe and comfortable as possible. Daily photos and updates were nice too. Would board again with him!”
“Cassandra took such good care of our two large dogs! I would highly recommend. She was flexible with our changing travel schedule and sent so many awesome pics while we were away!”
“If you want a dog sitter who treats your fur baby like family, look no further! My dog was so loved, comforted, and cared for that he literally didn’t want to leave her lap when I came to pick him up. That says everything!! 🐶”
“MaryKathryn was such a great petsitter for Cora. She was very responsive and super friendly. She really cared for Cora the way that Cora needed. Cora can be anxious in new spaces and with new people but she was very comfortable and content staying in their home. I highly recommend and will be using them in the future! Thank you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 707 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cape Charles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Cape Charles 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 Cape Charles 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 Cape Charles.
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 Cape Charles. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Cape Charles 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.
