“Thank you for taking care of our Brownie! Samantha is wonderful!! I had family emergency and I really didn't want to leave my dog alone over night while I was at work. It was very short notice but she responded my request super quickly and I was able to go to work on time!! I have received multiple pictures of my dog while my dog was with her! We really appreciate Samantha. We are thinking about reaching her again!”
“5 stars isn't enough for Susan and Ken! Kuma was treated like royalty the entire weekend. What blew me away was their incredible communication—even when I was off the grid with zero service, they kept me completely in the loop. They truly put their heart into pet care. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, book Susan and Ken immediately!”
“Lawdy was available for a last minute booking, communicative throughout, and my nervous puppy was very calm when I came to pick her up. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Kimberly was absolutely awesome with our girls and kept us updated every day. She sent pictures daily, monitored their eating and play habits, and provided us with regular status updates. We missed our girls, but we felt so much better knowing they were in good hands while we were away. You can tell she’s very passionate about caring for animals and genuinely cares for their well-being. And our dogs did not return home looking stressed. Her home set up is tailored well for the pups and she ensures that they have a comfortable space and plenty of play time. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and plan to set up regular play care appointments soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.
About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days. I’m overly open with pets being out around the house, they can be crated if needed of course. I have a small fenced area but a leash would still be needed preferably due to my neighbors dogs.
“Shawn did an awesome job with my doodle. She sent a couple pictures each day while we were out of town. When we got home my doodle slept all day, I think she was exhausted from playing with Shawn’s 2 dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Elise was very responsive and made sure my dog fit right in with her dog and the other dog she was sitting. She was very flexible with drop off/pick up time and I will definitely ask her to sit again!”
About: Hello there! A little about myself- my name is Aleah and I am an animal loving nurse! We are new to this area as we moved here about four months ago! I volunteered at the SPCA for about two years, worked at Petco for a year and animal sat for family and friends during those times! I became a nurse about half a year ago and am deciding now that including a side quest like this would be nice for my animal loving heart when I’m not at the hospital! My twin sister also loves animals just as much, so if you decided this is the place for your fur baby to vaca then that means double the love! (Quadruple if you include our fur babies). We are very excited to meet new friends! My schedule varies due to working bedside as a nurse, but usually me or my twin sister are home! We will NOT accept times that one of us is not home. Your baby will be just as much of a priority to us as our own. We enjoy taking our fur babies on hikes, so if that is an interest we would be happy to take your fur baby as well! Our back yard is fenced in, but we won’t leave them outside without supervision. We go on regular walks around the neighborhood as well as playing with toys in the backyard!
“She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young and had dogs in the home since I was an infant! I know very well what it means to take good care of a pet - they are family. Since living away from my family dog, I am in need of some dog therapy! I’m a grad student with weekday flexibility and am looking to look after dogs only when I am home and will be able to tend to them Pets are like family and they will be treated as such! I promise to love on your pet and make sure they are having fun and getting all their needs met!
“Amanda was great with our dog while we were away for over a week. Her dogs got along with mine and they even shared toys. She also has a large fenced in yard for him to run around. She sent lots of pictures and updates and did a great job communicating with us along with being very punctual and reliable throughout the stay and during drop off and pickup times. Would definitely recommend to others!”
About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have 2 spoiled rotten golden retrievers and a great dane who passed away in March of 2026. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I work from home full time and have a very large fenced in backyard at my house! I am able to let your dog out as much or as little as you’d like! I sit at home all day and work with my 2 goldens so they are spoiled plum rotten! I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home
“Linda and David are amazing. They took a great care of my dog. They kept me updated, sent pictures every day, were super quick to respond to messages, accommodate to our delay to return from our trip, and were very nice and kind. I will use them again.”

Samatha and her daughter Olivia did an excellent job watching little man. Send me pictures of him and told me he was adjusting well to his new environment. When I arrived to pick him up he was wrapped up in a blanket with Olivia holding him and loving on him. I recommend them to let them watch your fur babies. I’ll be using them again. Thank you Samantha and Olivia for providing great care to my little man 🤍
Susan & Kenneth were nothing short of amazing. I almost didn't give them 5 stars since I don't want to share. Our dog Lulu is slow to warm up to strangers, but Kenneth made friends within minutes, and our dog was so comfortable with both of them. Our schedule kept getting changed due to the situation, but Susan & Kenneth were very accommodating. They will be our first choice from now on.
Copper LOVED his stay with Michelle! Even though our little pups is anxious and high maintenance (we even added in last-minute medication), Michelle took it all in stride and reassured us from the start that everything would be ok. We got daily pictures and updates that showed us Copper was fitting right in with their family routine and enjoying his new friendship with Michelle's dog. It was so reassuring during our travel to know that Copper was not only well-cared for but also happy. I highly recommend Michelle!
Donna was absolutely wonderful! My dog can be a little anxious when I leave her but she like Donna immediately and settled in as if she had been staying at her house forever. Donna was attentive and caring and has a really nice home and yard to host dogs. I can’t recommend her enough.
Penny and Evan took wonderful care of my 8 year German shepherd dog. The time he spent with them was the longest we've ever boarded him, and it was very apparent that he was in great hands. I can tell they were very attentive to him. He definitely loves to be around people as often as possible and Penny and Evan are an excellent pair for him. Highly recommended!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cave Spring is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $51 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 of October 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cave Spring. 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.
95% of sitters in Cave Spring 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 Cave Spring 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 Cave Spring.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cave Spring 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.
