“Jessica was an excellent dog sitter! She provided daily updates with plenty of pictures and videos of Flossy, and her communication was outstanding. She took wonderful care of our dog—we would definitely use her again. 5 stars!”

“Michelle did an outstanding job while taking care of Harley. I was given daily updates as well as pictures. Easy to communicate with and accepted a last minute request from me. She will be my go to sitter for Harley.”

“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.”

“Aiden was a great hostess for our large dog while we were out of town for five days. She sent a couple pictures each day of our dog and was very prompt with responses. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services!”

“Camila was awesome! Despite my travel plans adjusting last minute she was extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the stay. Grateful for her passion and professionalism.”

“We are so lucky to have discovered Seyla! Our dog had as much fun on his vacation as we did on ours:). Seyla took him on amazing adventures, even in the icy cold, and fed and cared for him very well. Thank you so much, Seyla!”

“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.”

“Candace is nothing short of an Angel! My dog Ace has been with been with her several times and I thoroughly trust her with him. This last sitting was super last minute and Candace definitely saved the day (week). Don’t walk…run over to book with Candace. She treats Ace just like he was her own pup, I love getting the photo updates, and she’s just an overall amazingly sweet person!!!”

“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”

“Very responsive ! I can tell he has good experience with dogs. Always kept me updated and sent me pics. I was comfortable at my trip knowing Leo is being taken care of well. I definitely recommend and will for sure book with Gustavo again!”

“Phinneaus LOVES spending time with Tiffany and her family! Whenever we arrive at her home, he literally pulls me up the stairs and straight to the door because he knows where he’s at. She takes care of my boy like he’s one of her own.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I had such a good experience with Penjulee. Very good communication and always kept me updated on everything regarding my dogs stay! I will totally be booking with her again!”

“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”

“This was our second time boarding with Michael, Aliana, an Deji- they’ve been consistently wonderful. They’re communicative, attentive, and take excellent care of Otto. Will absolutely book again.”


“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!”

“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!’”

Ciaran was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly attentive and caring with Koda and made sure she got plenty of walks and attention while I was away. He was also extremely flexible, understanding, and easy to work with, which really helped give me peace of mind. I’m very grateful for how well he took care of Koda. Highly recommend Ciaran to anyone looking for someone reliable and genuinely caring!

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.

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!

Imbasat took care of our cat Pudding from 7-8-2026 to 7-24-2026. The experience of having Imbasat take care of Pudding was above and beyond excellent. Pudding formed part of her family including her husband and two young children that took care of Pudding as if it were their own pet. Imbasat was so sensitive about the feelings of separation of our young daughter from Pudding that she sent daily pictures and videos of Pudding that eased the separation pain of our 8 year old daughter. The personal and dedicated care provided by Imbasat is unique in that Pudding was allowed to roam freely throughout her home with interactive play with Imbasat, her husband and children compared with what is available in the market since typical cat hotels hold the cat in a cage with typical dimensions 2'x2'x3'. Overall I was extremely happy with Imbasat's care of Pudding and would definitely repeat having her take care of Pudding in a future trip.
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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,717 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dumfries. About 91% of Dumfries 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
