You will never find anywhere a sweeter, more kind caregiver for your furbaby than Brenda. She is so much more now to Ruby and myself. SHE IS OUR FRIEND. Ruby’s “stay-cations” are as relaxing and fun for her as my trips are for me. WIN WIN. How often does that happen in life??!! Thank you Brenda for peace of mind.♥️♥️

Kayla did an amazing job taking care of my dog Pearl. Communication was great, I received plenty of updates as well as pictures and videos during Pearl's stay. My dog can be anxious, and Kayla was very patient and accommodating of her behavior.

Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!

Melissa took care of my pup for a week, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. I could tell right away that she really loves animals. Every day, she sent me the cutest pictures and videos, which made me feel so relaxed knowing my dog was happy, safe, and having a blast. It felt like he got treated just like one of her own — lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked him up, he was so calm and clearly had an awesome time with her. And as a sweet bonus, she even gave me the cutest little gift when I came to get him. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Melissa!

Thank you Pat for being such a great pet sitter for Chance. Pat shared pictures daily and messaged me about how he was doing. She took him for walks multiple times that he absolutely loves. Since he is a senior, I have a strict diet schedule for him and she was so good about following it. Chance seemed so happy with her. I’m looking forward to having Chance stay with Pat again when I have to be out of town soon.

About: I've got decades of experience pampering pups of ALL ages and sizes! I've been an animal lover my whole life, and grew up with lots of doggos! I currently live in an apartment with my 1 sweet dog, but I work from home so your dog will have constant care. They will get plenty of exercise and potty breaks. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. So I will be able to walk, cuddle, and cater to your pet whenever you need me to! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure your babe(s) feels safe, loved, and entertained. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it's about feeding schedules, exercise routines, or special needs. Your pet’s comfort (and approval) is my top priority! I love keeping you in the loop with updates, including fun photos or videos, so you can see how happy your pet is. Playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation are part of our daily routine to keep your pet active and happy. In case of emergencies, I’m prepared and know the nearest veterinary clinics. Plus, I always respect your space, keeping it clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a loving, trustworthy, and fun environment for your pet while you're away.

I look forward to helping provide your pets with a safe, fun, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind whenever you're away. I’m currently just in school I’m not working part time, so I would have lots of time to watch your pets!! I would be available at different days throughout the week it just depends!! Just message me!! I have a pretty decent sized apartment, I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a small yard around the apartment complex! I go on walks all the time around Huntington and campus!! I love Ritter Park as well!!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!

We dropped of our whippet and pointer for overnight stay and they did great. Christy kept me updated on how they were settling in through their stay. My pointer loves her so much that he was barking and scratching his kennel when We were leaving. I thought he had to potty, so I stopped to let him out and as soon as we took off again he started fighting to get out of his kennel and see christy. We will definitely us Christy again

Clemente had an amazing weekend staying with Destiny and Benjamin. They took excellent care of him while I was away visiting friends. They were very attentive to his needs, taking him on walks a couple of times each day and giving him plenty of belly rubs. They were also great communicators, sending daily photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Destiny and Benjamin to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters!

FAQs for Boarding - Dunbar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dunbar on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 56 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dunbar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Dunbar 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 Dunbar.

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 Dunbar 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 WV 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.
