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.

David and his family are amazing! He is very diligent in sending pictures and updates. Otis loves going over there. They give him lots of love, cuddles, treats, walks, and exercise. Otis is excited every time we pull up to the house and I know he is well taken care of when he is there.

Sidnei took wonderful care of our dog, Ms Tiger, well our family was away for the weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. She sent regular pictures and updated us on her day. Tiger returned in perfect condition, well fed, happy and energetic. We can tell how much Sidnei truly loves dogs and look forward to boarding Tiger with her whenever we are on vacation in the future.

Sabrina was so great hosting Ollie for a long weekend! He was super comfortable as soon as he got to her home and she provided great updates on how he was settling in. I really appreciated her communication and all she did to make him comfortable in her home. I'm sure he can't wait for his next visit!

Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!

This was my first time using the service and can truly say that I was VERY SATISFIED in choosing Nani. This was Gizmo's first time being boarded at someone's home with other dog friends to play and socialize with. Upon meeting her, Gizmo ran towards her which gave me a warm feeling that he liked her. During the stay, Nani sent me daily updates with photos and videos on how Gizmo was doing and their daily tasks which was heart warming knowing my fur baby was in good hands. I will be using Nani again for future boarding as Gizmo looks forward to more play dates with Mr. Leon and Miss Leah.

Yue was very accommodating to my little guy. It was his first time away from home with strangers and she made him feel at ease. He is usually anxious and slow to warm up to new people but when he met Yue I could tell he felt comfortable with her and trusted her immediately. She also kept me updated the entire weekend with pictures, videos and messages on his progress. She took him on walks every morning and made sure he had plenty of food and snacks. It felt as if she wanted to spend time with my dog just to enjoy him not only because it was a service she was providing. She also has a very beautiful and safe home that I knew my dog will be comfortable in.

Nicole has an amazing oasis for dogs and my dogs had a wonderful time staying with her for a week! Lots of great socialization, relaxation, and play time. She gets to know your dogs well and understand their personalities and needs and always keeps you updated with photos and videos. Molly and Winston will be back to Nicole the next time we have a trip. Thanks for taking such great care of our puppies, Nicole!

We had a great experience with Alyssa, and our pup seemed to really enjoy their time together. Alyssa was always great with communication and care, and was extra nice when our doggo developed an ear infection while staying with her - even texting us to see if there was anything that she could do before we got back to pick her up. We would not hesitate to have our dog stay with her again.

FAQs for Boarding - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 7,487 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Franconia. About 91% of Franconia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
