“I was out of the country for 10 days. Usually friends or family watch my dog, so I was a little nervous about using Rover. I booked with Jizelle, and she was wonderful from the first message through pick-up. She was responsive, communicative, attentive, and accommodating. I felt relaxed and reassured the entire trip I was gone. Her dogs are great too! I highly recommend her and would book again!”

“We’ve boarded with Marcela for years and it’s always a good experience. It’s comforting to know that the dog we drop off is the same dog we pick up in terms of health and personality. In the past we have used different sitters and would sometimes pick up our dog only to find she was sick or injured or exhibiting bad behavior because of the house rules or lack thereof but we never have to worry about that with Marcela. Thanks for another good stay!”

“We left our two year old lab with Jennifer and Joel during a family vacation at the end of summer. We were nervous going into it because we had never left her with someone we didn’t know. I shared this with Jennifer and Joel at the meet and greet and reminded them at drop off. They sent pics and videos every day, which really helped us to feel that our girl was also “on vacation” and having a great time with their two dogs. Thanks to you both for loving her while we were away!”

“Maggie took excellent care of our senior dog while we were away on the longest trip our family has taken in quite some time. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Maggie after our familiarization visit. We saw clearly that she has a heart for animals, and especially older dogs. She even bought a new toy just for our dog. Maggie welcomed our bringing a portable crate and our dog's bed for the duration of the stay, which we felt helped our dog feel at home. Drop off and pick up were very smooth and timely.”

Winnie loved her stay with Sweta! From the first meet and greet, Winnie was full of energy and instantly made herself comfortable with the space. For a dog with anxiety, this made me feel very at ease knowing she felt safe. When it was time for the actual stay, Winnie’s tail was wagging the whole drive over and was ready to get out the car when we pulled up. I loved receiving the pictures and updates throughout the stay and the updates. Sweta was very responsive and professional and I look forward to booking with her in the future.

is was our first time leaving Mae with someone outside our circle of friends and neighbors, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Shanna and her family were incredibly welcoming, and Mae absolutely loved their large backyard. Mae can be a little skittish in new environments, but within five minutes of arriving, she was already playing with Shanna's dog! Throughout our trip, Shanna sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Mae was happy and having a great time. By the time we brought her home, she was completely worn out from all the fun! We're so glad we found Shanna and her family. She'll absolutely be one of our go-to sitters in the future. Highly recommend!

Behice is AMAZING! The second time she watched Teddy for me, he was healing from a ruptured abscess. Behice and her husband took exceptional care of Teddy, gave him his medications, and offered to help with any wound care. They even gave Teddy a toy that looks just like him! I can’t recommend Behice enough. I know my dog is loved, safe, and well cared for when he is with her and she keeps me updated every step of the way

I can’t recommend Melissa enough! This was my dog’s second time staying with her and as always she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Most importantly, I could tell that Oliver was genuinely loved and well cared for during his time with her, which means everything to me as a dog owner.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Franconia on Rover is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $80 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 7,313 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 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.

94% of sitters in Franconia 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 Franconia home-away-from-home, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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.
