“Lyra & Scott were so very easy to work with, and our pup had a wonderful time with them. We recently moved to the area and have lucked out finding such a kind and caring family, that obviously loves taking care of doggies. Would definitely use them again.”

“This was our first experience with Rover, and I couldn’t be happier to have found Cristen and Michael. My pup was truly loved and cared for by them. There was no kennel—he had the run of the house, a fenced-in yard, walks and playtime, and I received wonderful pictures throughout his stay. It was clear that he was treated like one of the family. My pup is actually a senior citizen, and if he gets a vote on his caregiver, he’d pick Cristen and Michael. I would too. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years! From pet sitting for family and friends to caring for furry companions of all sizes, ages, and personalities, I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or plenty of cuddles, I provide patient, attentive, and loving care. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable while giving their owners peace of mind. Every pet deserves to feel loved, and I’m always happy to provide a little extra spoiling! I have a very flexible schedule and work primarily from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your furry family members! I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, playtime, companionship, or a little extra love and attention, I enjoy working with pet parents to create a schedule that fits their needs. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands! 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a welcoming, pet-friendly townhome with plenty of indoor space for your furry friend to relax, play, and feel right at home. My community features beautiful, spacious walking paths, perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and exercise. Pets are welcome to enjoy my home rather than being confined to one area, and crating is available if that’s part of their normal routine or their owner’s preference. I believe in maintaining consistency, so I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedules, walking routines, and individual care instructions. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands! 🐾

Her communication was stellar throughout; she shared regular updates, including pictures, on a daily basis, and made sure he was packed and ready to go for pick-up. Chai came home happy and tired, signs of a weekend well-spent :) We will absolutely use Kacie’s services again - and Chai can’t wait to see his pup friend Laurel again!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Grove is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $39 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 481 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

95% of sitters in Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove.

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 Grove. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Grove 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.
