“Jessica is amazing!!!!! I have used her on multiple occasions and each time she has been a lifesaver especially when it’s last minute. She goes above and beyond with caring for my boys, she even made a birthday cake to celebrate for my Milo while I was out of town. My boys love her and her family.”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
“I love the fact that Constance arranges a meet and greet prior to the stay to make sure my baby is comfortable. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Sweetest family and pets ever!”
“We can totally recommend Aurelie for your furry friend. The backyard is awesome for the dogs to run around and she always sends pictures to keep you up to date. We found a new dog sitter and a good friend at the same time with Aurelie and her family :) we're looking forward to meet them again”
“Cody was fantastic with our two dogs! She watched them for two days and one night, and we couldn't have been happier with her service. She was extremely professional, friendly, and communicated clearly with us throughout the stay. She was even able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change without any hassle. Despite it being a short visit, she made sure to send photo updates and check-ins on how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend Cody and would definitely hire her again!”
“Cassandra is a truly excellent sitter! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I knew my dog was safe and happy with her. She went above and beyond to do enrichment activities, and was very comfortable administering medication. I know my dog can’t wait to stay here again next time!”
“Amazing from beginning to end. Prompt communication and updates. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs for a long weekend while I was out of town and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely book with Michelle again!”
“Emily is the best! She is so kind and caring. My dog is very loved while in her presence and i can tell she has the genuine heart for animals! highly recommend! 10/10!”
“Suzanne was AMAZING! My dog, Dixie, is an older pup who is deaf and has pretty bad arthritis, so it is always tough leaving her when we travel. However, I truly had no worries with Suzanne taking care of Dixie. She sent constant updates and made sure Dixie was as comfortable as can be. We feel so lucky to have found Suzanne, someone we can trust! 🐾🐶🤍”
“I am so grateful to have found Jackie and Kevin on Rover. Communication was great, and as soon as I met Jackie I knew that Buster and Coco were in loving hands. I received pictures of them snuggling up looking all cozy. Coco is an older dog and needed a little extra care and patience. Jackie didn’t hesitate and she gave her the very best. I had so much comfort and peace of mind during my trip while the dogs were with Jackie and Kevin. I absolutely recommend these sitters! I couldn’t be happier.”
“MaryAnn and Franklin loved on our babies like they were their own. Our babies week initially unsure and quickly adjusted during theor stay. We received daily updates which was wonderful since it was our first time boarding our babies. We will definitely be asking MaryAnn and Franklin to watch our babies again and recommend them for you doggy day care or boarding.”
“Martina was great with our pets. She sent pics and daily messages while we were away. She was very patient with them and cared for them as if they belonged to her. Would use her again if we needed to.”
“Maeghan was amazing with Frida (our baby) her whole family took wonderful care of her for four days. She played and had a wonderful time. We will definitely be asking for Maeghan services again! Thanks so very much!”
“Lora was great with our young dog! She was so kind and sent daily updates about their time together. This was my first time using a sitter who was not family with a pet. She gave me complete peace of mind with her knowledge and experience.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple years and I have my own. I will make sure I treat your dog like my own, run around outside with them, play with them and I do my best to keep their tail wagging.💕 I am available on weekends and holidays. I work Monday through Friday and I am home on Friday usually by 1pm. I can take care of them all weekend and I stay home until Sunday. I have a fenced yard and 1 mini schnauzer, 2 black cats and a baby. I have cat/dog sitted overnight for multiple months before and none of my animals have ever attacked each other or my baby. I always keep my eyes open on my baby and he has a fenced in play area and minds his own business.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fort Monroe is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Monroe
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our girl was treated like an absolute princess and showered with so much love, attention, and cuddles. The care she received was truly extraordinary, and it was clear she was treated like family rather than just another dog. Knowing she was happy, comfortable, and so well loved while we were away gave us complete peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for the kindness, compassion, and extra-special attention she received. We highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their fur baby as much as they do! 🐾💕

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fort Monroe is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 1,011 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Monroe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Fort Monroe can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fort Monroe 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 Fort Monroe.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Monroe. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fort Monroe 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
