“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”

“Henry is a great sitter who was able to accommodate care on short notice for my quirky Golden Koda, who cannot be near another dog as he gets fear reactive; thus he must be the only dog in care. We had a successful meet & greet, and Henry asked a lot of good questions. He communicated and sent pictures regularly and kept me informed about how Koda was doing. I felt comfortable leaving my pup for a doggie staycation while I got to spend a few much-needed days on a trip with some family members. I would not hesitate to have Henry care for Koda again or to recommend him to others.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child and done pet sitting for family and friends for years, including neighbors. We adopted our dog Wilbur in 2022 and he has been such a blessing for me and my family. I will make sure your dog feels at home and will take care of them as if they were my own ❤️ I currently am working from home, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of and play with the puppies. I normally go on walks in the morning and late afternoon, but I can anccomodate my schedule to you dog’s needs. I also spend plenty of time in the back yard (during good weather), so play time is always available. I have a large fenced in back yard, so I have plenty of room for visiting pets to run around and explore. Inside, there is a dedicated upstairs and downstairs area for pets to lay down and rest. The feeding area for pets is in the same room as where my family dines, to try and make all pets feel like they are a part of the family. Your pets will be treated with loving care and attention to make them feel safe, calm and comfortable.

About: Hi, my name is Joan and my husband’s name is Dave! We both are dog lovers and wanted to render our services to Rover. We are very excited to meet your babies! A little bit info about me is that I’m a very outgoing, happy and caring person. I love dogs so much since I was a child and I take good care of them. I used to have a total of 5 dogs in the Philippines and they were well loved. I always liked getting closed to dogs and I make sure they feel safe and loved. I even feed stray animals because I believe they need people’s kindness to survive. I believe that they are the best creatures on this planet and that they deserve to be loved. Dave is a very calm, kind, patient and loving person. Both of us will surely be able to give the much needed love and care for your dogs ♥️ I just recently adopted a beautiful and friendly Shiba inu, and his name is Enzo. He loves dogs so much so he will play with your babies. I am a nurse and I only work 3 days a week. My husband who will help me is doing work from home so he is around all the time, and he is great with dogs! At my apartment, I am very tidy person and very organize! I’m sure your babies will be more than comfortable! Also, I live in a luxury apartment with a huge dog park and a garden that dogs can run and enjoy! ☺️

He had such a great time with lots of play, little adventures, and enrichment. Banks can be a bit anxious, and Nicole was so patient and kind in helping him feel comfortable and settle in. He also loved spending time with little miss Harper. I can’t recommend Nicole enough. It’s clear she truly cares, and we’re so grateful for the great care she gave Banks. We’ll definitely be booking again.”

Doreen asked really good questions about my cats before we finalized the booking, and sent photos of them getting very comfortable at her house, which I think means she is magical because one of my kitties is really really shy. They are persnickety creatures (filtered water only, and one gets transdermal meds in his ear) and Doreen was up for all of it, and only concerned that she knew exactly what they needed. The thing that made me need to board my cats was a hard life thing, but I am almost glad for it because it is how I found Doreen.

Viviana was wonderful, she welcomed our two doggies, including our puppy, at the last minute while we were traveling. She took the time to ask about their needs and followed up with thoughtful questions to make sure she understood their care. She was very communicative, and her frequent photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciated her patience and attentiveness, and her family was also incredibly caring and loving with our pups. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Guri and Masa and would book with her again and absolutely recommend her!

She sent a lot of updates and videos that made me feel better! He had such a good time and he was properly cared for. If you want your pet to be treated with love and care, definitely reach out to her!

Paula did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Beau and could not be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. She consistently updated me throughout the day and sent photos and videos. She treated him as if he were her very own. He was well exercised with walks throughout the day and a long evening stroll, and his diet was carefully attended to without us even having to ask. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough —

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Franconia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Franconia is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 7,582 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
