About: I've been providing loving and dependable dog boarding care for over years, and caring for dogs has truly become a part of my family life. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every pup can feel at home while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages from small breeds to giant breeds, energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so we take the time to provide personalized care for each pup. I am also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering oral medications, injections, supplements, and special feeding routines, as directed by pet parents and their veterinarian. I also have experience providing palliative and comfort-focused care for senior dogs or dogs with additional needs. After more than years in the dog boarding world, I still genuinely love what I do and look forward to continuing to provide pups with plenty of love, attention, playtime, comfort, and care while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of our everyday routine. Since I provide care from home, I am able to spend plenty of time with the dogs throughout the day and give them the attention, supervision, and companionship they need. My daily routine includes regular potty breaks, outdoor playtime, feeding according to each dog’s schedule, medication when needed, rest periods, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure each pup has time to settle in, relax, and feel comfortable in their new environment. I keep my schedule flexible because every dog is different. Whether I am caring for an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves to play, or a senior pup who prefers a slower and quieter routine, I adjust my day to meet their individual needs. 🐾 Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My home has a fully enclosed 6-foot vinyl privacy fence, giving our guests a secure outdoor space for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, exercise, and playtime. I also keep fresh, clean water bowls available outside during playtime and outdoor time, so our pups always have easy access to water and can stay hydrated, especially during warmer days. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, supplements, potty routines, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs or restrictions. I supervise interactions and take the time to understand each dog’s personality, behavior, and comfort level. Dogs are separated when needed for meals, rest, safety, or simply when they need their own personal space. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or behavior and communicate with pet parents if I notice anything concerning. With over years of boarding experience, I understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog. I treat every pup with patience, respect, affection, and individualized care, with the goal of making their stay feel safe, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. 🐾

Adam is a natural, per Cooper. We knew the moment we met him that Cooper was in good hands. Cooper took to him immediately and made himself at home. We got him back last night and Cooper was calm and happy. Thanks Adam!!!

Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.

Radka is THE BEST! She and her family clearly LOVE DOGS. I couldn’t ask for better care because Radka exceeded anything I could ever expect. My usually timid dog trotted on in comfortably and made herself at home. I really don’t think she wanted to leave when I came back to get her! I loved getting the photos and updates. I know, without a doubt, that she was in great hands with Radka and James.

We had a wonderful experience with Leidy! She took excellent care of our senior dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for ❤️ We would absolutely book with Leidy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Fantastic sitters in every way! They took amazing care of our dog and we could not ask for anything more. We received multiple photos and videos throughout our vacation, which showed how much our dog was being loved on and how well she was being taken care of. Will absolutely request this couple again.

Miranda was so communicative with every step of the process. She kept me updated daily with McCoy's 9 day stay with her and her wonderful family. She even answered questions afterwards and I'll happily rebook with her next time I travel.

We love Damacia, and so does our Onyx. She has taken care of him since he was a young puppy and has even provided insight/suggestions in things to add into his daily routine. He has grown a lot and LOVES her so much.

Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾

Ellysia is the very best dog sitter we have ever had. Abby was right at home at her house for 12 days. It was clear she felt loved and cared for. She was great about communication what Abby was up to and sent photos and videos. It is rare to find someone you feel this confident about leaving your dog with. Abby is sensitive to thunder and she gave special care and attention to help Abby through those times. We feel very blessed to have found such a nice wonderful caring person to send Abby to when we are gone. Thank you so much!

Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!

We were incredibly anxious to leave our Dharma puppy. She has never been without us since joining our family at 10 weeks. But we had to go out of town and Lisa was extremely communicative, she sent pictures, and reassured us every chance she got. We are really happy and highly recommend Lisa.

FAQs for Boarding - Ford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ford on Rover is $44.4 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 420 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ford. 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 Ford 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 Ford 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 Ford 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 Ford.

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 Ford 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.
