“Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.”
“This was Blue’s second stay, and once again, we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. Thank you for taking such great care of him and treating him like part of the family. The updates and communication gave us peace of mind while we were away, and it was clear that Blue was comfortable, happy, and well loved. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely book with you again.”
“Maki and Joel and their family took great care of Ragnar. They treated him as part of the family and that really made me feel comfortable. I can’t thank and recommend them enough!”
“Cheryl was amazing! She hosted my sweet pups for 9 days. Send pics and updates. She even did a little birthday party for my Kelce's 2nd birthday complete with cupcake, hats, party goers (her family) and songs. They were so happy there. Would def trust Cheryl again and again with my fur children.”
“Tetiana and her family does so well with our little buddy Milo it’s like he’s family to them. We really appreciate the attention to details and TLC she provides to him and the peace of mind she gives us while we are away!”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Robert and Dina were absolutely amazing with my dog Colbie! They took her on several walks each day and sent lots of photos of Colbie to keep me updated on their adventures! They were also very accommodating with drop off and pick up time especially since my flight was really delayed coming back from my trip. I am so happy to have found such a reliable person to watch my dog and I know she will always be taken care of with Robert and Dina!”
“Tricia was absolutely amazing with our dog, Cece! She gave her so much love and care throughout her entire week-long stay. She also sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and truly treated Cece like she was her own pup. When we experienced multiple flight delays and cancellations while trying to get home, Tricia was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy sitter for their fur baby!”
“Joanna and John took amazing care of our dogs! They checked and double checked feeding times, what treats they are allowed, potty times, etc! We received detailed daily updates and photos. Our dogs stayed for 7 nights and were given baths at the end, and we were also sent home with a thoughtful gift! This is all after I changed the drop off and pick up times a bunch of times! The pups were very well taken care of and spoiled! I would highly recommend Joanna and John anytime! 😊😊😊”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Kathryn and her family did a wonderful job hosting our dog Duke for two weeks. She was flexible, kept us informed of how things were going in a timely manner, and happen to live within walking distance of our house. Highly recommended!”
“Robert and Connie were amazing! They had Olly for 4 days and one morning and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I was a little nervous about trying Rover, but I’m so grateful for such a great experience. They were very accommodating and asked questions to ensure your dog is getting the best care. I was confident I was leaving Olly in great hands. I would absolutely ask Connie and Robert to watch Olly again the next time I go somewhere!”
“Liane is amazing! Our dog, Muki, had some medical issues arise during her stay and Liane handled everything as if Muki was her own dog. We were highly impressed with her quick action, flexibility and attentiveness during this situation as we were out of the country and unable to handle any of it ourselves. Very few would be able to handle this the way she did. We will always book with Liane!”
“I was a nervous leaving my senior dog with sitters I hadn’t met before, but Iryna and James put me at ease right away. They took such great care of my dog—he looked happy and relaxed in every photo they sent (and they sent plenty of updates, which I really appreciated!). It’s clear they genuinely love and understand dogs, and they treated my pup like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“We are so fortunate! We found Colleen and she loves dogs and understands them. Part of me is afraid to write this great review because she will get fully booked! Nevertheless, it is the best place for our golden retriever puppy (7 months old) with a huge fenced in back yard where our dog can run. Colleen made sure that our dog got outside at least 3-4 times a day. She always sent us pictures and our dog looked so happy! Thank you Colleen for taking such great care for our sweet puppy! We will be coming back!”

Rebecca is the best!! She even had a last minute family emergency and still figured out a way to watch our pup. She is extremely responsive and communicative. This was my first time leaving our puppy over multiple days, and Rebecca made me feel so comfortable. She sent me updates and photos throughout her whole stay, and was very flexible with my schedule. I will be using her for all my future dog sitting needs. Thank you Rebecca!!
We had such a wonderful experience! She was incredibly kind and sweet, sent us pictures and updates, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. It was clear he was treated like part of the family, which meant so much to us. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Rob and Edina are amazing sitters. They took great care of both of our dogs, one of which is special needs. They spent the time to get to know them, ask questions and send us regular updates. We are grateful for them and our dogs can't wait for their next vacation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hamilton is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $79 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 October 2026, there are 2,719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hamilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% of sitters in Hamilton 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 Hamilton home-away-from-home, 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 Hamilton.
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 Hamilton 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 , 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 .
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.
