“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“Candice took very great care of Lucky, he was treated like one of her own. We will be coming back whenever we need her assistance agian. Great Communication and Professionalism. Thank you so much.”
“Michelle was wonderful with my boys! What I appreciated most was her daily updates — she kept me informed about how they were settling in, how they were adjusting to a new environment, and how they were getting along with her own fur girls. The photos she sent were such a comfort while I was away. Her communication was also excellent. When a potential marking issue came up, she handled it thoughtfully and professionally — she was open to using diapers instead of crating, which I really appreciated her flexibility on. The one area I’d note is that she seemed to have a busy work schedule, as we all do… When I returned, Huku’s (senior) diaper was full, suggesting he had not been out for a while that day— something to keep in mind if regular outdoor breaks are important for your pups. But overall, Michelle is super caring and communicative sitter who genuinely looks after your dogs. I would certainly ask her again!”
“Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands. He constantly sent thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, which made us so happy and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love he gave her, and you could tell she was having an amazing time the entire stay. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog means everything to us. We are so grateful for the incredible care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“This is the first time I used this app. I was very pleased from the “meet and greet” to the time I dropped off my pet for boarding. I received pics every day. This kept me connected with my pet. Nancy took good care of my pet. I will use her again.”
“Eldeen and her family were amazing. La La was comfortable and adjusted well. I don't think she wanted to come home just yet! I got photo updates during her stay. Her home is a warm and inviting environment. I will definitely use her services again. NVW”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Twinkie received! From the very beginning, Johana was kind, attentive, and incredibly caring. Twinkie was clearly happy, comfortable and well loved, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that Twinkie got plenty of attention and care. If you have a small dog, I highly recommend coming here. Twinkie loved having the opportunity to socialize and play with her dogs, and it was such a fun experience for her. SHe came home happy and clearly had a wonderful time. We would absolutely recommend Johana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”
“Laurie was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond with communication throughout my pups stay, to include photos and videos. I will definitely book with her again!’”
“Mayra was the best! It was our first experience doing onboarding with a person we didn't know, Mayra made it great. She kept us updated and sent us photos and videos of our cutie. She was really sweet, and our furbaby felt happy and safe while she was with her and her family. I definitely recommend her, we won't hesitate to leave Godiva with her again.”
“Marcela was caring and welcoming to our pup. She was able to tire him out which is a huge feat! She updated us daily on what was happening and even sent photos. Our pup was well loved and cared for in their home. Highly recommend them!”
“Garrett, Ana and their family were so wonderful. They were very communicative and took care of our golden, Pretzel so well. Pretzel had the best time with their family! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving pretzel with them. We will definitely book with them again!!”
“David and his family were great care givers of Jack, they sent numerous update photos and he always seemed to be very happy and having a great time! We would recommend David and his family!”
“The BEST! We were hoping to find someone who cared for our little guy like we do and we found her. Linda and her family are amazing and deserve 6 stars. We will be using Linda's boarding services many, many more times!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so lucky I found Edina! She was wonderful with my 8 week old puppy who is in the midst of potty and crate training. I received a ton of photos while I was away, which was great. She took him for 3 days of boarding and another day of day care. He was super excited to see her when I dropped him off for daycare so I know he felt safe and cared for while he was there. I won’t hesitate to use Edina again!”

Aiden was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She provided daily updates, giving us peace of mind knowing our dogs were safe, happy, and well cared for. She and her family made our dogs feel right at home, treating them with so much love and attention. We truly appreciate her wonderful care and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Aiden! 🐾❤️
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dumfries is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dumfries. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Dumfries 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 Dumfries home-away-from-home, 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 Dumfries.
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 Dumfries 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 , 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 .
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.
