“Our little guy had a hard time being in a strange place with a strange person so we had to cut his visit short, but Cyndi is willing to work with us to see if we can slowly get him used to it. Much appreciated.”
“We had a great first time experience with Amy! She was responsive, communicative and very easy to work with. Our dog had such a great time playing with the other puppies for the weekend! We got tons of pictures from Amy every day which we loved. Will definitely book again!”
“She was the perfect sitter! She had great communication! I loved the videos she sent! I felt so good talking to Shanisse! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my little pup there. She was great!”
“My pup had a great time with Jesse and his dogs! He got lots of exercise and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Jesse has very prompt and helpful communication. Will book again!”
“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.”
“Terry was a take charge person from the very beginning we felt that she was very caring and loving to our her baby. She stayed in contact us with us for the 4 days along with pictures and commentary it was delightful. We intend to use her again and would recommend her highly to anyone!”
“Call Pamela and their dog Marlowe were great hosts for our spaniel, Jewelie. They have a lovely fence backyard and the dogs played a lot everyday they took very personalized care of her and we would love to bring her back sometime!”
“Excellent experience, as always. Henry has stayed with Matt several times. Matt communicates well and often, is great managing the pack, and my Henry is always happy to go back.”
“Perfect place for my first trip away from my pup! I was nervous with him being a rescue but they were very communicative and honest and really put me at ease! 10/10 we will be back”
“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.”
“Laura was wonderful. We liked her immediately and she was really good with my dog Banksy. When we walked in her home I knew we had made the right choice. Banksy got a lot of attention from Laura and had fun playing with her dog Daisy in the backyard. We really appreciated the videos and pictures she sent as well.”
“Grace took such good care of Macy for a long weekend! I got picture updates throughout her stay and she looked very happy the whole time. Looked like lots of walks and playtime”
“Alexandra watched my kitten, Louis at her home for a couple of nights and was absolutely wonderful! Her dog was also super sweet and got along wonderfully with Louis. Alexandra was very communicative and sent tons of updates and pictures of Louis. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her hands and I would 100% have him stay with Alexandra and her dog again! 😊”
“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! :)”
“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 :)”

“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.”

Kristen and Chris live a bit further from us now but it is totally worth it to drive a bit for the peace of mind of our Luna being in such good hands while we are away. She also loves their new big yard! She and Wallace are great doggy buddies too. She is happy as a clam when she is there 😊
Cyndi was fantastic! Our Jack can be a little nervous with new people, and he has some separation anxiety and anxiety with thunderstorms, so he’s not the easiest. Cyndi was a super star who Jack warmed up to quickly. She gave us regular updates and sent lots of lovely photos that put us at ease to know that Jack was happy and doing well. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm rolled in late at night while Jack was staying with her, but Cyndi went above and beyond to fashion a blanket fort for Jack, which is what makes him feel most comfortable in these moments. It was late at night and I’m sure that Jack was keeping her awake, but she was so fully focused on making him comfortable. Really glad to have found such a high quality level of care for our lil guy, and we’ll have no worries when we leave him with her next time during our wedding weekend!
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!
Ashley and her husband were AMAZING! I had a last minute trip and she was available and so accommodating to me for my yorkie poodle. As soon as he got there he was ready to have a ball! lol they also updated me with pictures throughout his stay. Definitely looking forward to working with them in the future.
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.
Alexandra was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Gracie. She is so friendly, always responded extremely quickly to my messages, and made it really easy to coordinate a meet n greet, and drop off and pick up. I appreciated her flexibility. She treated Gracie like her own pup, and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Gracie seemed very comfortable and happy. Alexandra goes above and beyond for the animals she cares for and we’ll definitely be a repeat customer!

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.
