Nadia was absolutely fantastic. We received daily updates on how our dog was doing and knew that she was very well taken care of. Nadia ensures that the dogs under her care get plenty of exercise/outside time and receive oodles of affection. I would highly recommend her!

Emil is so helpful when I had to leave Rio for a business trip. He nicely accommodates Rio’s need and Rio is very comfortable under his care. I would not be hesitate to ask help from Emil again for my next business trip.

About: The dog in the profile lives with us part of the year, and we currently are missing her a lot and would love to host your furry friend! We have a lot of experience taking care of small dogs, including small elderly dogs. We previously had an elderly chihuahua who took multiple kinds of medications, including eyedrops and syringe medications. I work from home and miss having a furry colleague with me during the day. I am able to keep a dog with me in my office while I work. We have multiple heated beds, food bowls, and blankets to keep your dog cozy. We typically sleep with our small dogs and are happy to do so with your pets.

Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!

Robin was fantastic!!! When we used other kennels in the past and our dogs always came home “shell shocked” and were skittish for weeks. We left them with Robin from Thursday to Sunday and they were happy running and playing … socializing!!! Robin sent pics daily. We will definitely bring our dogs back to Robin.

Kyle and Meagan were absolutely fantastic. I would give them more than 5 stars if possible. My dog, Winston, has a heart condition and is rather high maintenance medically—so I was initially a little concerned that it would be difficult to find a reliable petsitter. They immediately put these worries to rest. I traveled internationally for almost 2 months, and they kept me updated of Winston with daily pics and videos. Kyle and Meagan are very responsive and professional. Winston is looking forward to staying with them again!

Pam and Michael are terrific. They really care about your dog like they are their own. We always felt confident that Finley was in good hands when we were away. Pam and Michael are off the beaten path but conveniently located on the way to Dulles from Charlottesville and they are consistently available for long trips. We highly recommend them.

Paige took excellent care of my dog, Maggie, for over two weeks. She provided daily updates, photos, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while traveling. Paige was also very helpful and flexible with scheduling, and she kindly accommodated an extension when I requested one. Maggie was treated like one of her own and had an absolute blast with Paige and her puppies. Thank you so much, Paige!

Kate and Tyler were SO attentive, communicative, and caring for Jasper. They have a huge yard where he could run like crazy, fun toys, and walking trails nearby where he got to experience all the sniffs. He and Penny got along well together. Kate’s and Tyler’s house is clean and tidy, and they have great energy. I am so grateful to have found them for caring for my hound, Jasper! Thanks, guys!!🙏

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience four our dog, Sadie. From the moment we met Jesse and Emily, we knew Sadie was in good hands. By the way she walked right into their home, it was obvious she would fit into the family. While away, we received regular updates on Sadie and several photos of her outside on walks, snuggling on the couch, playing with their girls, and having fun discovering new toys. It was obvious how happy and engaged Sadie was, which was very reassuring. Leaving your dog with someone for several days and nights requires a great deal of trust, we can honestly say that we would recommend Jesse & Emily to anyone, and we are looking forward to our next get-away knowing Sadie will be cared for enjoyed from the whole family!!

FAQs for Boarding - Charlottesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Charlottesville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 197 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Charlottesville. About 90% of Charlottesville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
