About: I have taken care of dogs that were mine or family friends at all age ranges. I am familiar with giving dogs medicine and practicing commands. I work full time but am a teacher off during the summer. My husband also works 1 mile from our home to be able to be home after a school day. I love dogs and have one of my own. I will walk your dog, brush, give medication, and play with your dog throughout the day. My soul job will be to ease your dogs anxiety while you are away.
“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”
“Kelly is AWESOME! She's a joy to work with and her communication is exemplary (including pictures). Additionally, my dogs (about 200 lbs for the both of them) loved their visit, getting a ton of activity and attention. Already looking forward to the next visit!”
“This was the 1st time we have boarded our pet, Cricket, the spoiled dog. Ms Rebeca took great care of our Cricket. We fully appriciated the effort she made sure we recieved photos and daily updates on how Cricket was doing. We are quite happy to have found a great home away from home for Cricket during our family vacation. Thank you so very much. The Shanks family”
“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”
“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.”
“They have an amazing setup to take care of your doggie, playtime with other dogs and huge backyard! 100% definitely recommend and this is where we will take our doggie when we travel!”
“Jessica did a great job. She sent lots of pictures and even dressed him up for the holiday. Bogey didn’t want to leave at first cause he had so much fun. Bogey fell asleep as soon as he got home from all the fun he had.”
“Very helpful and communicated well to help accommodate our needs. Our dogs got along well in her home and her updates and pictures were reassuring and put me at ease when we went out of town. our dogs are big babies when it comes to going outside in the rain and the whole weekend was a wet mess so I was so grateful Heather was able to get them out and keep them company this weekend.”
“Anthony took absolutely wonderful care of my Labrador, Channel, during a long 40-day stay at his home. The entire experience was amazing! Channel felt so loved, welcomed, and right at home from the start. Leaving a pet for such an extended period can be stressful, but Anthony completely put our minds at ease. He was incredibly attentive, kept in touch regularly, and sent plenty of photos so we could see how happy she was. He truly treated her like his own. I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Tracey was fantastic to our little dog. She noticed a medical issue and contacted us about it immediately. She then helped us find a vet since we are not from the area. She sent multiple pictures and updates.”
“Camila was the best! She took amazing care of our pup, sent daily updates and pictures, and was very communicative. We’d definitely use Camila again in the future - highly recommend!”
“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dumfries
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,526 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.
