About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages! I don’t mind administering medications or anything extra you need to keep your pets healthy! I will treat your babies as if they were my own! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I use to work as a vet receptionist for 4-5 years. I do some side jobs cleaning as well. But naturally I’m home 24/7 now! I would care for them like they were my own babies! Your babies are more than safe with me! I go above and beyond and I absolutely love doing so!
“Janel G was absolutely amazing! She sent daily pictures of my dog while he was in her care. It was a last minute booking and I will definitely be utilizing her services during our next trip. Thank you, Sereen”
“Cody was fantastic with our two dogs! She watched them for two days and one night, and we couldn't have been happier with her service. She was extremely professional, friendly, and communicated clearly with us throughout the stay. She was even able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change without any hassle. Despite it being a short visit, she made sure to send photo updates and check-ins on how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend Cody and would definitely hire her again!”
“I had a great experience with Kacie over spring break! She was very communicative, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

You will ABSOLUTELY not be disappointed. Thank you again Elisabeth, I’ll bring Cowboy by soon again for another appointment 🫶🏼”

About: I’ll treat your dog with the kindness I treat mine. I have been fortunate to be a dog dad for seven years now and it has added more warmth to my life. I have a flexible jobs so I’m able to devote a lot of time to the wellbeing of a pet via walks and quality time. I have a friendly 7 year old corgi, named Liam. He’s one of a kind and works well with other dogs. That’s the only pet that I have.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. From dogs, cats, reptiles etc. From chihuahua's to Newfoundlands and everything in between I love all types of dogs! My dogs are like my kids so if you ever hear me talking about my kids I am referring to my dogs. :) I am home full time so your pup will always have whatever they need as my schedule is flexible. My family is military but we have been in Virginia for almost 8 years. I have prior veterinary experience as a kennel attendant and a veterinary assistant at a vets office. This is more than just a part time job too me. Caring for pets is a passion and is something I enjoy. The experience you and your pets have is of the up most importance. I will ask a lot of questions about your pets daily routines, things they like and don’t like. This is important because it helps your animals be less stressed if they are sticking to a routine they are used too. This also helps me to understand them better which increases quality of care.
“Lora was very sweet and took very good care of our Rottweiler. We were very hesitant because of a previous experience with another sitter but she was reassuring and sent frequent updates. She is very experienced and has a great routine that ensured our dog got all his energy out. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is wonderful!! Both our pups love her and her kids! Our lab loves to play catch and it is great that her little ones love to play catch too. I love it that the pups jump out of the car when we get to Heather’s house! They are so excited to see her and the kiddos. I feel so good knowing they are so well taken care of. Thanks so much for being our go to place!!”
“Koa LOVES it here. He's an only pup so he liked having other dogs there too play with. They are very attentive and make sure every body plays nice. He came home happy.”
“This was the second time we left our two dogs with Priscilla and it was a great experience again! She sent us videos and pictures of our pets having fun and other moments. This time we left them with her for three days and they loved it! She is our official dog sitter from now on. 🥰❤️”
“Really appreciated how communicative Tahirah was. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day, she distributed bubbas medicine for me and watched out for the things I asked her to watch out about. Would book again.”
“Suzanne was AMAZING! My dog, Dixie, is an older pup who is deaf and has pretty bad arthritis, so it is always tough leaving her when we travel. However, I truly had no worries with Suzanne taking care of Dixie. She sent constant updates and made sure Dixie was as comfortable as can be. We feel so lucky to have found Suzanne, someone we can trust! 🐾🐶🤍”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hampton
This was our first time with Shanae, and I can definitely see us coming back. She really does welcome your dog in like they’re her own. She communicates clearly and quickly and sends lots of photos. We were very comfortable while away, knowing our girl was having the best play date ever.
We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕
Breeona and her family took in my pet on Avery short notice. They made me and my family feel very comfortable by reaching out with pictures and communication a couple of times a day. I highly recommend her and her family if you are looking for a place to leave your baby. Thanks Breeona!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hampton is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 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 1,017 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hampton. 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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton.
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 Hampton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Hampton 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.
