“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“Hilary and her family took great care of our pup for a 10 day stay while my husband and I were traveling. We received daily pictures and messages, so we knew how our pup was doing. We will definitely book again!”
“I felt very good about leaving my dog with Amanda. I was gone almost a whole week but because of all the pictures and texts it didn’t seem that long. Amanda will definitely be my go to sitter the next time I need one.”
“Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!”
“Amelia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a short notice booking and took great care of my baby, Coconut! Communication was easy, and I felt comfortable knowing Coconut was in good hands.”
“Luna frequents Laura’s quite a bit but this was her longest stay and it was such a peace of mind to us being across the country knowing she was at her home away from home. The pictures Laura sent throughout the week showed she was having the happiest vacation herself 😎🐾”
“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”
“Chris was great, and super attentive to Poppy's needs! We received photo updates, and Poppy seemed happy and exhausted (in the best way) once we picked him up. Poppy can be needy at times, and Chris showed no hesitation to attending to his needs, and neediness, lol!”
“Highly recommend Jonathan. Excellent service, He really made sure Trixie had a lovely time, cuddles, update photos. Home from home. So happy to have found a lovely family, knowing she will be well looked after while I am away for work.🐾😍”
“Shannon O took great care of our special needs dog. She was easy to get in touch with as we coordinated drop off at Food Lion Parking lot. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. She even washed our dog's bowl afterwards. THANKS!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs as small as a mini pincher/chihuahua and as big as a bernidoodle. I am willing to make sure your pet has all they need and are well taken care of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. That gives me a lot of flexibility with my time. Saturday and Sunday I typically spend my days at home with the exception of going to the gym in the mornings. I recently moved back into my Richmond home, and have a large backyard that’s perfect for your pet. I have a large backyard that’s perfect for play. We’d spend a lot of time outside on the nice and sunny days. If I need to come to your home, I have a child that loves dogs. He is extremely gentle with them and enjoys their company.
“Paula was a wonderful caregiver for our Dolly! She gave her lots and lots of love, communicated often, and paid careful attention to her to make sure she was adjusting to our absence. We felt totally comfortable during our long vacation and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Laura is great with my dog Banksy. He arrives and leaves with a smile. I always know he is safe with her and he enjoys the freedom to play in her backyard and pal around with her dog. She is always very affectionate towards him. We love Laura!”
“Another amazing stay with Cassie and her family! Sully always has the best time and can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive to see her. Cassie’s house truly is his home away from home and we are so grateful for her love and care for Sully while we’re away.”
“Grace is amazing! She took wonderful care of Boogie and sent us tons of pics of our lil guy! Communicative and friendly — I had such great peace of mind while we were away and knew he was in good hands. Boogie came back a happy dog :-) Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Zulema came to us super happy. She got home & slept all day! So I can tell she had tons of fun & was taken care of! Abby is an excelent communicator & made sure to send pictures and updates. 10/10”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Granite
Amanda and her partner were so incredible with our anxious girl, Marcie! They made sure to carefully introduce her to the other dogs they were sitting and Amanda sent great photo/video updates for Marcie’s full stay so I never had to worry. 10/10 would definitely rebook.
Fozzie had so much fun at Sam and Trout’s house! He enjoyed going on walks with them in the museum district and playing with toys. We loved getting photos over the weekend and Sam was great at communicating pick up times. Thank you for taking care of our boy while we were out of town on such quick notice - he loves a chill and cuddly weekend :-)
Elizabeth was amazing with our dog!! She went out of her way to make sure our girl was used to her before her boarding stay by doing multiple meet and greets. She clearly loves dogs and I felt like she treated ours like one of her own! And her dog peanut is a great playmate for a high energy dog like ours :)
We could not have asked for a better sitter for Archie! Korri and her family truly welcomed him into their home and treated him like one of their own. It was so obvious from the photos and updates that he was completely happy and comfortable there. He made himself right at home, snuggled in bed, had plenty of companionship, and even developed his own little fan club when Korri’s sister started coming over just to see him! 😂❤️ Korri was wonderful about keeping us updated throughout our trip, and those little glimpses of Archie happily living his best life made it so much easier to be away from him. She also went above and beyond for us when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We needed to extend Archie’s stay by a couple of days, and Korri could not have been more gracious or accommodating. Then, after a delayed flight home and another unexpected hiccup on pickup day, she was once again incredibly kind and flexible and assured us that Archie was welcome for as long as we needed. More than anything, we never had to worry about whether Archie was safe, happy, or loved. Knowing he was being cared for in a real home, surrounded by people and dogs who genuinely enjoyed having him there, was priceless. We are so grateful to Korri and her whole family for taking such wonderful care of our boy. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! 🐾❤️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Granite is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Granite can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Granite 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 Granite.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Granite. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Granite 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
