“Ms. Cyndi was absolutely wonderful with my Rajah. He tends to be nervous in new places and with new people but he was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated and sent me tons of photos of him which made being away from him a lot easier. I now understand why she is always fully booked! I would definitely leave my pets with her again anytime!”
“Amy has now watched our chocolate lab twice, this time for an entire week. She did a great job watching her and provided us with many great photos through out the week to keep us in the loop. It was obvious our dog had a great time since she's been sleeping most of the time since we picked her up two days ago!”
“Susan was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my Goldendoodle son with her! She has a wonderful, large back yard that my dog enjoyed! She sent me photos everyday and let me know how he was doing. I am 100% booking Susan for my dog the next time I am out of town!”
“Thank you to Terry for taking care of both my young and old dogs and for making sure they were well fed and watched. She did a great job with sending pics and updates.”
“Sheri is fantastic! Her two teens are fantastic as well. I was quite nervous leaving our Great Dane Bodie, but once I met Sheri, I had no doubt he was in the best hands! They definitely had their work cut out out for them because Bodie was the biggest baby and the first few days of his stay was rough. They really worked with him to help him adapt to his new surroundings and by around day 3, he was completely comfortable and started sleeping through the night. I am so thankful for her and her sweet teens for taking great care of Bodie while we enjoyed a vacation with family. Thank you Sheri!”
“Matt was great with our dog for boarding and sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Kristen and Chris were amazing! They were super communicative and made sure we knew how the pups were doing the entire time I was gone. I felt so comfortable leaving our pups with them and Wallace! Thank you Kristen and Chris for creating a fun and safe place for our fur babies!”
“My dog had a really lovely stay with Alexandra, she was very attentive and sent many updates! She was able to take my dog after another sitter cancelled, and I greatly appreciate that”
“Anne was awesome with caring for our Teagan. She loved her like she was her own little puppy! I know Teagan felt loved and well cared for. She doesn't snuggle with just anybody! :)”
“Michelle & her family were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our little Kashi with them. Kashi’s tiny & a bit older, and knew she would love to cozy up with them and she did. Thanks for your you so much! We’d definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Our German Shepherd loves staying with Amy and her family. This was our 2nd time boarding with Amy, and once again we received daily updates on our dog's activities, complete with pictures. I cannot rave enough about how excellent the whole experience with Amy is.”
“Ronda is amazing, patient, and very caring. She kept my puppy with great care, took him on walks, and sent many pictures timely. We will definitely go back to her next time onwards. Highly recommended.”
“Moses had a great time with Wylie. Wylie was great at sending photos and videos of Moses throughout his stay. He always looked happy and having a great time. Highly recommend.”
“Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️”
“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”
“Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“We had a very good experience with Johna. She is a very caring, professional and knowledgeable caregiver. She took excellent care of our Sweetheart while we were out of town on vacation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Allen
My two dogs spent 9 nights with Susan and did great while I was on vacation. She is very accommodating when you have special requests regarding pet care. Her husband, Josh, is active in taking care of the dogs, too, so there is usually someone home most of the time. My dogs came home happy and tired and got to spend time with Susan's dog as well as other dogs she was watching for daycare. She sent pics throughout the time I was away. I highly recommend Susan and Josh for boarding or daycare. Will definitely leave my dogs with them again.
Grace took such great care of our puppy Myla. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Taking on a puppy is not an easy venture and we appreciate her willingness to not just watch Myla for the week but also give her lots of love and attention too!
Ashley was amazing. She and her family took fantastic care of my two dogs while I had to leave town unexpectedly for a family emergency. She updated me with pictures and videos of them every day. Will definitely use her again the next time I have to leave my fur kids behind for a little bit.
Ms. Cyndi was absolutely wonderful with my Rajah. He tends to be nervous in new places and with new people but he was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated and sent me tons of photos of him which made being away from him a lot easier. I now understand why she is always fully booked!

We highly recommend James! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with a non-family member, so we were very nervous! It couldn’t have gone any better. James provided us with great updates during our time away and put our minds at ease! We could tell that our guy was having a blast. He cried the entire way home because he was sad to leave! Thank you taking such good care of him, James!
MeiLin and Ben took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we dropped them off, it felt like we were leaving them with good friends, or their favorite aunt and uncle. MeiLin is an excellent communicator and kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our dogs is a little anxious, so we’re always nervous about leaving him, but they went out of their way to help him feel safe and right at home. It didn’t take long before he settled in. Our other dog, Bacon, was clearly living his best vacation with belly rubs, treats, walks, and lots of love!
Michelle & her family were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our little Kashi with them. Kashi’s tiny & a bit older, and knew she would love to cozy up with them and she did. Thanks for your you so much! We’d definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Glen Allen on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 843 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Glen Allen. 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.
93% of Glen Allen 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 Glen Allen 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 Glen Allen 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 Glen Allen.
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 Glen Allen 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.
