“I am so happy I chose Amy to take care of my baby! She sent me lots of pictures and seeing my little sweetie having so much fun made me feel fantastic and at ease. I will definitely be using Amy in the future!”
“I could not be more impressed with Cyndi! My dog Finley absolutely loved her, we got so many pictures, I did not worry about him for a single moment. We have a long stay coming up next week, and doing a “trial night” was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves!”
“Five-star experience! Boone was so well-cared for and clearly loved the extra attention from the whole family. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend stay. Michelle is super communicative and flexible, making everything very easy.”
“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”
“We have used Ronda twice! Both times my dog was extremely well taken care of and spoiled! Really can’t stress enough how grateful for her flexibility and kindness. My dog fell in love with her immediately and I can tell she enjoys the bond. Recommend to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their fur baby.”
“Super appreciate Alexandra! She took great care of our cat while we were away. Would 100% trust my animals with her again. Could tell how loved my cat was during the time we were gone! Received lots of updates.”
“Sheri was amazing with my dog Zion! She watched him for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and consistently checked in with me and catered to my needs of transporting him and also his diet. She was diligent about feeding him the correct food and making sure he was happy and healthy. Highly recommend her!”
“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 absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”
“We just moved to the area and Pamela and Paul watched our anxious dog Harley for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Harley did not show any of her typical anxiety cues and she had a great time at their home and with their sweet dog Marlowe. I highly recommend them as sitters and we look forward to more stays in the future.”
“Kristen and her husband were great. My two dogs really enjoyed their stay. They get along well with Wallie too. Kristen kept us updated with their pictures.”
“This was our first time booking with Matt and it was a great experience. Our pup got plenty of care and fun and we could relax knowing she was safe. We received daily update with picture of our dog and her new friends. Will definitely book again.”
“Laura was fantastic with our 10 year old Lab! A tidy, animal friendly home with a big backyard makes for a comfortable stay for furry family members. She was very friendly, flexible, and responsive. She sent great photos and videos. I would highly recommend Laura M.”
“Just had a really wonderful experience with Sheyanna watching Silas for a couple days. Sheyanna is super sweet, kind, responsive and seems to genuinely love animals. She consistently kept me up to date with sweet videos and pictures of Silas. She has a great backyard for my guy to play in and she did a bunch of activities with him! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone. My guy came home happy and exhausted (which we love!) ☺️💗”
“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! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Allen
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.
KiKi is amazing! I was nervous for Romy’s first boarding experience as he has some quirks, but it was no challenge for KiKi. She sent the cutest pictures and kept me updated throughout our trip. Romy had the best time playing in the backyard, swinging, and cuddling.
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!
Ashley and her partner were wonderful! This was our puppy’s first night away and they made both us and her feel immediately comfortable. They are knowledgeable about dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay. Even the kids were great and helped her get some energy out! Would absolutely book with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Glen Allen on Rover is $38.85 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 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 July 2026, there are 854 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.
95% 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.
