“Squiggy had a wonderful stay with Paula. He came home happy, relaxed and tired from all his playtime with Paula and the other dogs. He was definitely at home away from home. Paula’s communication was excellent and she clearly loves and provides great care for fur-babies. We will be back!”

About: I have taken care all types of dogs of different breeds and sizes and difficulty. I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Show them the love and affection that they need. I’m currently working full time but am only gone 4-6 hours out of the day so I’ll have plenty of time to love and care for your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and 4 of my own fur babies to keep your company while I’m gone. I am also able to crate them if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 3 years, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re well taken care of. I’ve watched dogs with different needs, including giving medication when needed and caring for multiple dogs in one day. I’m very reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone, and I want you to feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a supervisor, but I have a good work-life balance that allows me to make time for pet sitting. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets while working. I’m also off on weekends, so I have more availability to spend time with your fur babies! I love being able to give pets attention, companionship, and care while making sure they feel safe and comfortaable. My apartment neighborhood has a couple of dog parks, and there are also plenty of nearby trails where I can take dogs for walks and let them enjoy some fresh air. When I’m caring for a dog, I typically take them outside 3–4 times a day for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. I love making sure they get the attention, activity, and care they need. When staying in your home to care for your pets, I’ll also make sure your home is well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, mindful of your pet’s routine, and will make sure everything is kept clean.

“Our dog Megumi had a phenomenal time at Cailey's! Cailey was easy to communicate with, both for planning our dog's stay and for keeping us up-to-date during the stay. She took excellent care of Megumi, and our Velcro dog was so cozy and at ease when it came time for pick-up that I think she wouldn't have minded even more time hanging out there lol. 10/10; recommend without reservations and would now consider her our go-to anytime the grandparents can't dogsit their granddog.”

“I recently used the Valerie to watch our pup and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Valerie was incredibly attentive to my dog's needs and provided a loving and safe environment. Communication was top-notch with regular updates and adorable pictures to ease my worries. My pup was well taken care of and I felt completely at ease during her first time away. I highly recommend Valerie caring for your dog for her professionalism and genuine care for pets."”

“Julie is my FAVORITE Rover sitter and not only mine but my dog's as well! She really provides a home away from home; with having no other pets in her house (other than a sweet bunny) she gives the time and attention your pet needs to settle and truly enjoy their stay... 10 stars to Julie if I could!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Deatonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 166 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Deatonville. 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 Deatonville 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 Deatonville 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 Deatonville.

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 Deatonville. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 Deatonville 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.
