“I don’t know where to begin; Megan and her family are the absolute best! My German Shepard/Cattle Dog is weary of new people, but she took to Megan and her family right away. I love how Megan was always available and how she consistently sent photos and videos to keep us updated; it’s like our pups were on our vacation just as we were cause based on the videos they were having so much fun I was almost jealous lol! I loved how she exposed my pups to her chickens and whatever interested them in her backyard. I also loved that they had children because my Teacup always had someone to play with. Lastly, I really appreciate Megan’s flexibility. We had car trouble coming back from the airport and not once did she ever make us feel bad for the inconvenience. If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies, I totally recommend Megan 100%. Thanks so much Megan and family, you guys made going on vacation stress free. Our pups will definitely be back! P.S., Mecca and Cocoa said thank you for the treat bag you sent them home with! They really enjoyed them, especially Cocoa! Lol.”

“My two hound dogs had an amazing overnight stay with Connie! Communication was great from before I booked through the entirety of the stay. I received so many pictures at multiple times throughout the day, and I appreciated the peace of mind they brought me. One of my dogs is a newer rescue, and she can be afraid of new people and men. Connie was very understanding and gentle with her. I knew my girls were happy, so I could relax more on my trip. My dogs slept for two days straight after they stayed with Connie. They were so tired from all the yard/dog play outside! Connie actually lives on my street, so I’m incredibly happy to have found someone so kind and reliable for all my future pet sitting needs. She went out of her way to accommodate me and my dogs while I was away. I’m happy to have such a great neighbor and pet sitter!”

“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”

“Lina had a wonderful stay, she is a rescue from the Humane Society and Denise and her husband took extra time to make her feel safe and comfortable. I received daily updates and pictures. I will 100 % use them again and highly recommend Denise!”


“She was so awesome! Really took care of our Gretchen for first time we left her with anyone besides family. She made entire process comfortable and sent me pictures and updates. I will use her again if I have a need. She was so great!!!”

“Phillip was great with Bronx! We felt really comfortable leaving her with him and felt reassured throughout the weekend. He sent update pictures and let us know that she was doing ok. Bronx was a happy girl when we picked her up. Very communicative and overall great vibe! Will be using Phillip again.”


“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This was the absolute best experience with Nick and Yiqiuxi. The communication was daily with pictures. In each picture my puppy looked so happy and comfortable. They will definitely be his home away from home when I need to go out of town. I cant say Thank You enough!!”

“Rena did an awesome job caring for my Doberman puppy, Prince. We were nervous about dropping him off since this would be his first time away from us overnight; but we were reassured that Prince was in good hands through frequent communication and pictures. I can tell Prince enjoyed himself and I am 100% happy with the care Rena provided. I highly recommend and I personally intend to book with Rena again in the future!”

“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”

“Here's to another wonderful stay with Seyla. Ace enjoyed seeing his furry friends, going hiking at the park, but not a fan of the swimming. Seyla will get him use to it soon. Thank you, Seyla, for taking care of Ace.”

“La Tasha was amazing with my dog Teddy!! This is her second time with him and he isn't the friendliest dog to work with but she's always patient and kind to him. Also, she's able to work with my last minute bookings and I REALLY appreciate that. Thanks again!!!”

“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”

“Morgan went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my three dogs. Morgan made sure that the babies were happy and comfortable. I got lots of pictures throughout their stay which helped a lot with my anxiety. The dogs seemed to love their time there! Thank you Morgan!”

“Audree is amazing! She's kind and clearly loves pets. Before our visit, Audree asked key questions as she wanted to understand our needs and the needs of our pup. She sent photos and videos of our pup throughout her visit. When it was time to pick up, Audree had our pup packed up, ready to go and the BONUS was that our pup smelled AMAZING at pick up! :) I would highly recommend Audree to anyone looking for a safe, secure environment for their pets.”
“Awesome! I absolutely hate leaving my Remy behind, especially when he has to be locked up in a kennel. I usually get such anxiety, but not with Eldeen, her husband Eugene and their kids. I was able to relax knowing that he was able to roam and play freely. Remy seemed pleased with his stay. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Lilian was absolutely fantastic! It was such a relief having our Izzy stay with her. We loved all the updates and care they gave her while we were gone. We would most definitely have Lilian watch our Izzy again!”

“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colonial Beach on Rover is $32.1 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 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 September 2026, there are 830 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colonial Beach. 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.
95% of Colonial Beach 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 Colonial Beach 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 Colonial Beach 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 Colonial Beach.
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 Colonial Beach 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.
