“So glad to have found Megan to watch my dog, Freya! Megan sent pictures & video of Freya having a great time. I could tell Freya was comfortable right away at our meet & greet & looked so happy when I picked her up. Megan is so friendly and patient, can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of my baby! 😊”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“My Maggie always has a great time with Connie. I used to feel so guilty leaving Maggie every time I went on vacation but now she looks forward to it and it is a vacation for her as well. I highly recommend Connie. She sends multiple pictures everyday so you always know your doggie is safe and happy.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful and my fur baby enjoyed playing with her daughter. I’ve never left my girl with anyone before and after a few minutes I felt at ease that she would be well taken care of and given the love she is used to getting at home.”
“Bryan and his wife really helped us at the last minute before we went on vacation. They were extremely kind,flexible and professional. Our Romeo enjoyed himself thoroughly and was at ease immediately when we dropped him off. I appreciated Bryan’s quick responses letting me know how Romeo was doing. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you guys so much!”
“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!!!”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”
“Scarlet stayed for a week while we were on vacation and she must have gotten plenty of exercise because she slept the whole day after we got home. Denise sent great photos and she was flexible about pickup time when we hit traffic on the way home. Definitely recommend!”
“Lulu had an awesome time again!!! She loves staying there. She gets lots of attention, exercise, and activities! Thanks Seyla for doing such a great job taking care of her while we were out of town.”
“This is the 2nd time Chris watched my Bella. She enjoyed herself. He sent me pictures of her throughout the stay. I had special food for him to feed her, and that was no problem. She will be going back.”
“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”
“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.”
“Anika was great! She sent pictures and videos. She was very responsive when I reached out. I really liked that she let us meet her before booking! I am a new puppy mom and was super sad and scared to leave Ace! She made me feel much more comfortable after meeting her! Ace is really spoiled and demands attention. And she did really great with him! I will be using her again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Traci was wonderful for our girls! Very kind and attentive, sending us daily pictures to put our mind at ease that our girls were happy and well taken care of. She treated them like her own, and for that we are incredibly grateful!”
“Lily, and her husband Sebastian, were wonderful with my pup pup, Diezel! He had so much fun and was worn out from play and walks. They are so easy going which made my husband and I comfortable and makes the pups at ease. Lily sent lots of pictures and videos which I love and appreciate. She did an amazing job and Diezel looks forward to his next stay!”
“Sonja and Phil were very kind and welcoming. They did a great job making her feel at home and getting settled in. Sammi recently had spinal surgery, so they also ensured she was safe during her stay. Thank you so much for caring for my girl and also your rapid reasons to any inquires/messages.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Luna and Bella. He was so sweet and patient with them, made sure they were fed on time, and always gave them plenty of time outside to play in the yard. He really paid attention to the little details and even gave us helpful recommendations to improve how we care for the dogs, which we truly appreciated. He was always on time, very responsible, and super patient when loading them up. His communication was on point; he kept us updated every day without us even having to ask. We’re so thankful we found him and are already planning to book him again for future pet sitting. Highly recommend!”
“Tanita and Terrence did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed of our dog’s daily activities. Loved getting pictures and videos every morning. Barkley was having SOOO much fun interacting with the other dogs. Would trust them to keep him again without hesitation.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colonial Beach on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 814 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.
