“Once again Kathryn made our little Yogi feel right at home. She updated us throughout his stay with comments on his activity and behavior, as well as pictures. Yogi likes her home as much as he likes being home and it appears that his behavior and tendencies are the same at either location. Thank you so much Kathryn for making Yogi feel right at home!”

“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”

“Linda took wonderful care of my dog, Max, this past weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that Linda genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept me updated, made sure Max was comfortable and well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked him up, Max was happy, relaxed, and clearly had received plenty of attention and affection. It's not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Linda made the entire experience stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the loving care she provided. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Max again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Linda, and your family, for taking such great care of Max!”

“Tiffany, David, and the kids were absolutely amazing. We were a little nervous leaving our puppy Cooper with anyone since he was so young. when we came for the initial visit I was instantly at ease. All 3 kids played so well with him, they sent pictures of Cooper on walks, cuddling with the kids, and even took him on an adventure to a soccer game! We could not have asked for a better experience and Tiffany & David and the kids will be the first people we call whenever we need someone to watch Cooper. Thank you again!!!”

“Warren saved the day from the beginning! On the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, my original dog sitter I had lined up stopped responding and I was on a major time crunch to leave for my trip. While scrolling through Rover, I saw Warren had confirmed availability for the weekend. I sent a message to Warren and within 10 minutes not only did I receive a response, he confirmed that he would be able to take my sweet pups. This was my first time ever taking them to a dog sitter, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Warren explained the process and really put my mind at ease. Through the stay, I received regular updates on how they were doing as well as photos. I cannot sing enough praises or thank Warren enough for saving the day. 10/10, will definitely be using him again!”

I don't normally leave reviews, but our experience with Sarah was exceptional and worth sharing. Sarah cared for my dog, Lexie, for a week, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is a true animal lover, and it was obvious from the moment we met her that she genuinely enjoys caring for pets. Throughout the stay, she sent daily photos and updates, which gave me and my kids complete peace of mind while I was away. Lexie absolutely loved staying with Sarah. She especially enjoyed playing with Sarah's friendly dogs, getting plenty of outdoor time, and having a comfortable place to relax after a fun day. By the end of the week, I honestly think Lexie felt like she was the one on vacation—and she may have even been a little sad to leave! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, provide lots of love, exercise, and attention, I highly recommend Sarah. I never once worried while Lexie was in her care, and I will absolutely trust Sarah with her again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Chancellor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chancellor is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 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 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 November 2026, there are 716 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chancellor. 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 Chancellor 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 Chancellor 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 Chancellor.

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 Chancellor. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 Chancellor 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.
