I am so happy I chose Amy to take care of my baby! She sent me lots of pictures and seeing my little sweetie having so much fun made me feel fantastic and at ease. I will definitely be using Amy in the future!

I could not be more impressed with Cyndi! My dog Finley absolutely loved her, we got so many pictures, I did not worry about him for a single moment. We have a long stay coming up next week, and doing a “trial night” was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves!

Kelsi was a great communicator. She responded to all of my inquiries immediately and was really flexible. Kane came home happy and exhausted from all the playing. I recommend Kelsi to anyone traveling.

I can’t say thank Matt enough! He is an amazing host. As a new dog dad after more than 20 yrs, I was a little panicked trying to figure out who to trust with my rescue pup for the night. After a simple Google search, I came across Matt’s profile. Read the reviews, the number of repeat stays and decided to download this app. Matt arranged a meet and greet. He put me at ease right away and Sawyer enjoyed the brief meeting. Booking was simple. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Sawyer had a great say and I couldn’t be happier! I’d recommend Matt to friends and family without hesitation.

Mich was awesome! Our dog felt welcomed and comfortable during her stay. Mich’s dog, Milo, was a good companion/ host. Great back yard. Mich sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

Michelle & her family were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our little Kashi with them. Kashi’s tiny & a bit older, and knew she would love to cozy up with them and she did. Thanks for your you so much! We’d definitely recommend Michelle to anyone needing a sitter.

I can never say enough about about her wonderful services. My dog is older and has some special abilities that need to be tended to. She has dogs herself that are gentle and playful that supplies my dog with a plenty of playmates. She also never kenneled my dog which was a big worry for me. Time and time again I would never choose anyone else to take care of my sweet boy.

Sheri was awesome with our dog Otis. She was patient and played with him sent tons of pictures of him to ease our minds since it was his first time away. I’m so grateful for the care and affection that was shown to our fur baby. Definitely will reach out if we ever need help again. Thank you so very much.

Natasha and her family took care of our dogs like they were members of their family. Other places offered our dogs to " let out" every few hours from a shed. Natasha looked after our partially deff and blind senior citizen pug and our ball obsessed boarder collie in their own home. The dogs were always around someone who could play and love on them.

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

Ciara was great- she sent pictures the whole time we were gone and Liv didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up! And to make it even better Liv was exhausted and slept all day so we could unpack and settle in when we got home!

FAQs for Boarding - Hanover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hanover on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hanover. 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.

95% of Hanover 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 Hanover 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 Hanover 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 Hanover.

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 Hanover 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.
