“Super happy with Stephanie!! She was super easy to work with and our Chocolate Lab had an awesome time!!! We don't like to leave him, but if we need to, we will always bring him back here.”
“We are so happy we found Bryan! After a bad pet transport, our Scotti has had aggression issues being around strangers. Bryan had no problem taking him and calming him down quickly. He is his normal sweet self at Bryan’s home and he loves the whole family. They take such good care of him and always send lots of updates and pictures. We feel confident taking vacations knowing he’s in good hands!”

“Paul and Terri were exceptional. They were professional in all their communications, sent many picutres, and kept us up-to-date with all the happenings with Nala. I appreciated their flexibility and that they cared for Nala as if she was one of theirs. Thank you, Paul and Terri”
“Oh my gosh! My boy Neeko had THE BEST time!!!! Cristen was great at sharing photos and videos during his 2 night weekend visit. Her communication is so good. Micheal playing out in the yard with him throwing the ball. The whole family gave Neeko lots of love as if he were their own. Once I picked Neeko up and got him home, he slept the rest of the day. He was completely worn out!! If he were a kid, I think he would be talking about his sleepover for days!!! Lol. I could not have found a more perfect family to love my baby. 🥰”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“This was our first time leaving our 3yo pup with anyone so we were a little nervous but Jackie sent a picture and several updates during his stay. He seems to have been well loved and taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Jared was incredibly helpful with a quick stay we had in Williamsburg. He took our pup in on short notice and made her feel right at home. He made everything so easy and we were super comfortable. We would absolutely find him again on a return trip to the 'Burg!”
“What a God send! Janeen is such a kind and caring individual with obvious patience and compassion. She asked all kinds of follow up questions to make sure kitty would be as comfortable as possible in his home away from home. Janeen was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the day every day. The family even moved some items around to allow kitty to climb on and around freely. I wish I lived closer to this wonderful family as I would 100% use their services again. They were thoughtfully accommodating knowing we were already away from home on vacation and even made some suggestions for local activities my family and I could visit. Do not scroll pass this couples profile I highly recommend this home for your pet baby needs.”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
About: I have taken care of lots of dogs over the years. I love on all of them, and give great doggie massages. I take the dogs on daily walks. I work 3 to 4 hours each day and am home most of the time. I am a master gardener and spend a lot of free time in the yard. I have a fairly large fenced in back yard. I take my own dogs for a morning walk most every day. I give lots of treats.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Pet Sitter! Rodney did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our baby, Lucille! He sent us daily updates and pictures and stayed in constant communication, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We were especially impressed by how quickly he bonded with our four-legged fur baby and how well he cared for her. We couldn't recommend Rodney more highly and will absolutely use him again. Thank you, Rodney!”
“Ryan, Stephanie, and the whole family were absolutely great to work with. Our Doodle stayed with them for several days, and had an absolute blast playing with them and their dogs. They have such a great house and yard for the dogs to play in, and our little buddy had the best time running around with their pack!”
“I love the fact that Constance arranges a meet and greet prior to the stay to make sure my baby is comfortable. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Sweetest family and pets ever!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gloucester on Rover is $29.96 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 336 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gloucester. 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.
100% of Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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 Gloucester.
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 Gloucester 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.
