“This was my first extended period of time getting a pet sitter through Rover and I am so glad I found Jenn. She took very good care of my senior dog, Marley. She sent several updates and pictures and my family loved seeing it. I will be sure to book with her again. Thank you Jenn!!!!”
“Rebecca is great! She was immediately available, and communicated very well. She sent us pictures of our dog every day and a video, which showed our dog playing with her dog in the fenced yard. That made me see that my puppy was having a great time. I definitely recommend her as an excellent, experienced pet sitter.”
“Rosalina was awesome. I had someone cancel on me and she was able to accept the job very last minute. She sent so many pictures each day. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“Really sweet family LenaNina had great time. She was there for a couple of days and they always sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date. Very quick to respond. They have a very nice backyard space and indoor daycare area. I totally recommend.”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Teecey made me very comfortable leaving my little one with her overnight. She was very accommodating when I forgot to bring all of my dog's food and Teecey's dog was a great playmate for my energetic Frenchie. I'd choose Teecey again.”
“We feel lucky to have found Jim to care for our dog, Moose, when we are away. He sent a lot of photos and that always makes me feel comfortable to see that Moose is doing well. Will definitely use Jim again the next time we need boarding.”
“Ana was very sweet. It was my dog's first time with her and she had a great time. Ana let Godiva take her time to warm up to her and feel comfortable, she took her on walks, and also let her play with her pup. Ana was very communicatove and sent me photos, My dog enjoyed her stay! I will definitely be using Ana again.”
“Heather watched our pups Lily and Cinnamon for 9 days and did a wonderful job! They had a great time playing with the other dogs that were visiting and we received daily photos and status updates. She is very quick to respond when we have questions and is very experienced working with all types and temperaments. We felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Genevieve was a blessing to our family and how she took care of Cedar. He had a great time, I can tell by how he ran to the door looking for her after she left. Our communication was great - Genevieve provided updates via text so I always knew how Cedar was doing. Her picking and dropping off Cedar also took the stress away. I would gladly use Genevieve again and again!”
“I can’t recommend Anthony and his wife enough! They took such incredible care of my dog Nikki while I was away, and it was clear from the start that he was in warm, loving hands. From the thoughtful updates to the genuine affection they showed him, I could tell they treated him like one of their own. Anthony went above and beyond, paying attention to all of Nikki’s little quirks and needs. He shared tips, routines, and even small things like what Nikki enjoyed on walks or in his meals—which was so thoughtful and helpful. They also noticed a grooming need and let me know with care and kindness, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Nikki was not only safe and happy, but also adored. He clearly had such a fun time and bonded with them—he’s already missing them! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Anthony and his wife are it. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!”

My dog and I had a great experience with Aiden! She took care of my dog for a month and was wonderful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of pictures and always responded very quickly to my messages. When I picked up my dog, she was happy and I could tell that she had been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend 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 for Dog Boarding in Dumfries on Rover is $38.85 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 5,547 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 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 Dumfries 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 Dumfries 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 Dumfries 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 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 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.
