“Rae was amazing with my precious Paris. She was very uncomfortable at first to be separated from me, but Rae was very careful to watch and respond appropriately to her needs to make her feel safe and comfortable. I'm grateful for such a caring sitter away from home and will absolutely use her again.”

“Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!”

Our furbaby was very shy and nervous and I’ve noticed over time her confidence building as she’s been boarding with Marcela! Marcela is very flexible and accommodating when we have last minute trips… we can always count on her. She’s the best!”

“I am almost at a loss for words with how fantastic Mr. Vincent was with my Memphipoobaby. Normally when I pick Memphis up from a sitter he’s anxious and ready to leave but not with Mr. Vincent. I can tell he was comfortable during his stay with homemade treats and food and all of the warmth his beautiful home and yard provide. Mr. V sent pictures, videos, and tips for caring for my lovebug with his obvious years of experience for caring for pets. I’m so appreciative to have met Vincent and hope he can be Memphis’ regular sitter. Just phenomenal!”

Viviana was wonderful, she welcomed our two doggies, including our puppy, at the last minute while we were traveling. She took the time to ask about their needs and followed up with thoughtful questions to make sure she understood their care. She was very communicative, and her frequent photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciated her patience and attentiveness, and her family was also incredibly caring and loving with our pups. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Guri and Masa and would book with her again and absolutely recommend her!

Paula did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Beau and could not be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. She consistently updated me throughout the day and sent photos and videos. She treated him as if he were her very own. He was well exercised with walks throughout the day and a long evening stroll, and his diet was carefully attended to without us even having to ask. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough —

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hayfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hayfield is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 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 7,317 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hayfield. 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.

94% of sitters in Hayfield 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 Hayfield 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 Hayfield.

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 Hayfield. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 Hayfield 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.
