“Sheridan was wonderful with our cockapoo who loved all the walks and outings with Sheridan and her family. He had a tummy upset from a food transition and Sheridan was kind and knowledgeable on how to help him through it. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. In the end, I was worried he might not want to come back!”
“Highly recommend! Jamie and Mike took great care of our pups and we're super flexible! They even picked up a new Kong for them when I realized we'd left ours at home.”
“Chloe had a great time with Joanna and John and came home happy and well taken care of. I enjoyed the videos they sent as well. I will definitely use them again!”
“Mr. Darnell was professional and provided constant communication from booking until pick-up. Very confident Bruno was well taken care of and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely book again and strongly recommend. Thank you.”
“Hayleigh was great and sent tons of pictures of our pup! Our dog is a new rescue who was unfortunately dealing with a lot of anxiety. Hayleigh was very caring & took excellent care of him.”
“Beth was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated. She was clearly prepared and already had everything she needed to provide great care, which made boarding prep so easy and stress-free for us. Her yard is spacious and perfect for dogs to play safely. She even sent him home with the sweetest little thank-you gift. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”
“Mei was the best! She took good care of our sweet Maltipoo and sent us lots of updates with pics and videos. We dropped off our puppy early in the am and due to our flight being delayed we also picked up a bit later than anticipated but Mei was wonderful and gracious.”
“Lydia has been the best dogsitter I've ever met. She absolutely is the best. She never forgot to send daily pictures of my dog and always asked questions when she had some concerns about my dog. She is a very caring and detail-oriented dogsitter. Once you meet her, you won't go back to your usual dogsitter. Thank you so much for everything!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“We’ve booked with Erica several times now and she’s been wonderful with our hyper little girl, Daisy. Erica sends pics and videos and has put us at ease with leaving Daisy with her. Highly recommend!”
“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”
“My cat was well taken care of! I would definitely board with her again, next time my cat and I are in town. I 10/10 reccomend Heather; she’s very sweet and your pet companion or fur baby will enjoy being looked after by her.”
“Jackelin was a wonderful caregiver to my special needs dogs. She is communicative, sends pictures regularly and made me feel that my dogs were in great hands while I was away on vacation. I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”

Sheridan was wonderful with Aero! She made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and details of his walks, playtime with the kids, and all the fun he was having. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious Aero was being treated like part of the family. Sheridan and her family were so warm and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her services regularly in the future!
Absolutely the best dog sitter ever, and the kindest person to work with. Mochi felt more at home with Richard and his family the second time around. He was super excited upon arrival which was so comforting for me to know that he was not timid or scared, and he was going to be in good hands.
Ms. Chaimae was absolutely amazing with my baby girl, Megan! She was so attentive, caring, and thoughtful. I truly appreciated the constant updates and her incredible attention to detail, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Megan was in wonderful hands. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I highly recommend Ms. Chaimae!
Mike did a fantastic job with my dog! She had some separation anxiety early and he kept me up to date with her behavior, how they helped her, and daily picture updates. Their own pets also helped my dog have some company and play time which she loves. Highly recommend!
This was my first time boarding with Rover and I couldn't be happier that I chose Gloria! Benoit spent five nights with them, and he was clearly so well loved. The whole family was so sweet and easy to communicate with. I loved how many pictures/videos she sent of Benoit playing with their dogs. Would definitely recommend!
Gabriela was an amazing sitter for our puppy Ziggy. She was very responsive and sent loads of updates. Clearly she loves dogs and really cares about them. She was open to adjust to our schedule more than once and was open to take him to her family’s lake house. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone Loki for someone who cares and loves dogs.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Haymarket is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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.

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 Haymarket 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 Haymarket 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 Haymarket.
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 Haymarket. On Rover:
- 86% 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 Haymarket 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.
