“Lilly is truly a caring and compassionate pet sitter who treats animals like members of her own family. Every time Wheeler stays with her, I know he’s in loving hands. Her kids also spend time with the pets, adding to the warm, family-like environment. She frequently sends beautiful photos and keeps me updated on Wheeler’s activities and playtime, which gives me so much peace of mind. Her spacious backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play, and if the weather allows, she even takes them on walks or to the nearby park. She’s incredibly receptive to each pet’s individual needs and always goes the extra mile to help them feel at home. Wheeler absolutely loves staying with Lilly—he gets excited as soon as we pull up to her house, and sometimes doesn’t want to leave because he’s having such a great time! I now try to book monthly stays with her, simply because Wheeler enjoys it so much. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for him. A true Gryffindor, Lilly responds to every challenge with courage and resolve. She would simply never abandon a quest or choose some other life without caring for pets!”
“my baby has stayed with Rhonda a few times and she always has such a great time! Rhonda always checks in and sends pictures! I know Merlot is in good hands with her everytime! 😍”
“Brandy is amazing! I had a last minute trip and she was very understanding and took churro right away! She is really careful and caring with my dog and is always sending updates on how he is doing. She is truly the best!”
“Excellent sitter. They are so good with your pup you’re almost afraid your pup won’t want to come back home. They also communicate so well. Can’t recommend them enough.”
“David did so great with my Great Pyrenees, Charlie! He was also very patient with me as this was my first time using the app and I accidentally scheduled the wrong day. Upon meeting Charlie was very comfortable with him and he was excited to go hang with David. Thank you SO much for taking care of our huge furry friend. I highly recommend having David watch your dog!”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Isaac and Omaira made it the easiest process. They treated Spudz so well and kept me up to date on everything the whole 4 days she was there. I will defi itely be booking with them again and I don't know if I will use anyone else!”
“Rizalle was taking great care of our dog Lucy while we were away for 5days. Riza was sending us some fun pictures and videos and re-esuring massages to help us to feel at ease( as we have never left Lucy for such a long time). Lucy looked very happy and comfortable while playing with Riza and her wonderful daughter. We definitely would love to use Rizalle 's services again!”
“Benjamin was fantastic with my 2 elder dogs for the week that he had them. He sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing which made me feel so much better about leaving them while I was on vacation. My dogs have never stayed with anyone other than family, and I'm so pleased with how Benjamin was with them. I've already highly recommended him and Rover to friends and will continue to do so!”
“Cristen Michael and their son were fantastic. I got so many pictures and they loved on my old girl like she was their own. They even were able to get her to eat while I was gone, which is not something that normally happens. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Michelle watched my two golden retrievers for four days and was fantastic. She was very communicative and sent me multiple pictures/text/videos throughout the day. She walked my dogs twice a day, took them outside a ton, and played lots of fetch. I would highly recommend her.”
“What can I say, my puppy "Carmelo" had another wonderful day in the care of Jeremy & Melissa!! I know that he was in good care at their home, and I hope to continue to work with them!!! Thank you again!!!”
“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”
“Loved my first experience with Rover. Laura made me feel at ease and my Charlie had a great time. She sent photos during the stay and kept me informed about he was doing. Planning to book again with her really soon.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cape Charles on Rover is $34.7 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 698 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cape Charles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
100% of Cape Charles sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cape Charles 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 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.
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.
