“Beverly was AMAZING. Kept in contact with me every step of the way, sent me the greatest photo updates, taught my puppy some new lessons, took incredible care of him, even washed my dishes she returned that my puppy had used while staying with her. I can’t say enough good things about her. I will absolutely be using her every time I go out of town. Her house was an incredible set up for dogs, especially the backyard. My puppy had the best time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Beverly!!!”
“If I could give 100 stars I would for the exceptional care Sarah gave to my baby I would. Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”
“Adam and Amanda are the best! There are plenty of other dog sitters who live closer to me, but there’s a reason why I am willing to drive 45 minutes one way to drop off Rocky. I know he will be taken care of and loved. Which is a peace of mind for our family.”
“My baby had a GREAT stay, thank you so much! They also were more than happy to keep him an extra night LAST MINUTE! Super appreciative of that! Definitely booking again!?”
“Alison was amazing with our pup Tilly! she was very welcoming and kind! she kept us updated with texts and pictures which was very nice and thoughtful! Tilly definitely had a blast in her care and she didnt want to leave!!! Alison was also very accommodating when we had flight delays which was super helpful. we will definitely book again! my husband and I trust her 100%!”
“Jay is the absolute BEST! My pup loves staying with her and gets excited each time he gets to see her! She takes care of him like he’s her own, and shares pictures and updates with me everyday. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else!”
“Katlin did a great job taking care of Shade. She provided me with updates on how Shade was doing. I like the fact that there was another small do there that Shade could play with. I did meet Danny but I’m sure they work as a team. Thanks so much for taking care of my little one.”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our dog with Deven and Tyreek from start to finish! They treated Riot just like their own; he was happy, comfortable and loved! Their communication was excellent, especially the frequent updates they sent with pictures and videos to show us how much fun Riot was having. We (Riot included) are grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely book them again in the future!!”

“Shay and Jake were super awesome to work with! This was our first time using Rover, and our dog loved it! They took great care of him, and were really good about sending thorough updates each day. We would definitely recommend them!”
“I would like to thank Alana for taking care of my little fur baby. I had booked with her for an overnight boarding stay. I greatly appreciated receiving updates and pictures. My doggie looked so comfortable and well taken cared of. I will definitely be utilizing her boarding services again in the future.”
“Sara and Jakob were great with Kingsley. They seem to really know animals and how to handle them as well. We needed someone who will provide just the right amount of play and rest for Kingsley as he is a Big Energetic puppy. Sara provided pictures and videos daily and let me know Kingsley's schedule everyday at "winter camp" with her own doggies lol. Two days before the end of our boarding period, I asked if they would give Kingsley a bath at extra cost and they happily said yes even though it was kind of last minute and Kingsley is a big dog! Kingsley came back very clean and happy. We felt good during our time away and was able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kingsley was being taken care of. We are definitely going to take Kingsley to Sara again the next time we are away! Thanks guys!”
About: I’m an active, dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy everything from neighborhood walks and playtime to feeding, check-ins, and keeping pets company while their owners are away.

I also have a flexible schedule, making me available for weekday, weekend, and many last-minute requests.

“Loki and Penny had a great time and I really appreciated getting videos and pictures during their stay with the Thurmans! This is Penny's second stay with them and will use them again if needed. 😊”
“Michelle took great care of our 5 month old puppy for a week, including getting up at all hours for him to potty. She sent pics every day and her lovely dogs took ours under their wing.”
“Joy and her husband were terrific! Joy posted daily pictures showcasing Kota having fun with Yuki, their dog and other furry animals. When we picked Kota up, she was both happy and healthy! Joy was very accommodating to our needed flexibility in drop off and pick up times. One thing I would recommend is more of a written update about Kota's day that went along with all the wonderful pictures to paint an overall summary of her day. I would definitely become a repeat customer as they made Kota feel as if she were in the family! Thanks so much Joy!!”

Siobhan was great! She kept me posted about Shade and sent pictures. I liked she had other dogs for Shade to interact with. A plus is Siobhan’s location is very convenient to where I live. This is the third time I requested her services, however was only fortunate to book twice. Very pleased and would recommend!

There are 820 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Colonial Heights. About 93% of Colonial Heights 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.

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.
