Jona was absolutely wonderful with our skittish pupper and high energy herder. She was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable, which we really appreciated. We received frequent updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our doggos in good hands. Communication was excellent; she was always quick to respond and super easy to coordinate with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

Carlos went above and beyond in the care and love he provided my dogs. They were regularly walked throughout the day and enjoyed their time with his dog, Sasha. He sent me many, many photos and videos showing them eating heartily, walking the sidewalks, and sleeping soundly. I highly recommend Carlod to others. You will have peace of mind.

Vincent made leaving Lily for a week very easy and pleasant : ) I loved getting pictures and videos everyday. I didn't have to worry if Lily was eating her food or enjoying her stay because I could see it in the pictures. It made my vacation so much better! We have scheduled with Vincent again in a couple of weeks. Highly recommend.

I was really nervous because this was the first time I had someone else watch Cooper, but they made me feel comfortable right away. They let me walk around the house, answered all my questions beforehand, and even little things like having rugs on the hardwood made me feel better about him being there. She was very communicative the whole time and sent a bunch of pictures and updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she and her husband truly care and make the pets they watch feel like part of their family. Cooper seemed to settle in well and came home happy. I’d absolutely book with them again.

Sam is a very respectful, honest, and accommodating. He always replies to our inquires in a timely fashion. He notifies us as soon as there is any issue or concern with our dog and offers the best care possible. He sends updates regularly. He optimizes his visits with our pup with long walks and play. I know our dog is in good hands when he is with Sam! I highly recommend.

Great stay for our two dogs. We went away for one night and our dogs had a great time. They were well taken care of and had their own space to rest and play in the yard. There were other dogs there so they got some play in as well. Would definitely use again.

Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!

Another great stay with Kim! Waldo spent a week with her and her family and had a blast. It was a warm week weather wise and she made sure to walk him earlier in the day and later to avoid the hottest times. She provided daily updates and photos and even gave him his puzzle toy daily to help with mental stimulation. I appreciate how well she took care of Waldo while we were gone. Highly recommend her and plan to continue to use her services in the future!

We left our 5yo partially blind pug with Fabiola for almost two weeks and she took great care of him. She was very good about providing multiple photo/video updates throughout the boarding so we got to see how much fun he was having. Despite not being familiar with this heat-sensitive breed, she was diligent about following his routine schedule & medicated eye drops we provided. We’re grateful we were able to find such a caring pet sitter. We picked up a healthy and happy pup and will be using her again. Highly recommend!

They also set a meet and greet prior to the booking to make me feel comfortable with leaving her with the family. When I picked her up she was excited to see me, but I could tell her had loads of fun during her stay! Will definitely be using this Rover service with Irene and Megha again!

Murphy had a great time, got lots of socialization and love, and came home happy and tired. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in a home environment instead of a kennel. We will definitely book with Dana again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Franconia on Rover is $53.5 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 7,296 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Franconia. 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.

94% of Franconia 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 Franconia 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 Franconia 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 Franconia.

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 Franconia 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.
