About: I've grown up with dogs and loved them my whole life. These days I share my Charlottesville home with Frances, a 5-year-old Jack Russell, and Phineas, an 11-year-old English Pointer. Both are friendly and good with other dogs, but they tend to keep to themselves, so your pup can settle in without being crowded. I have a large yard with plenty of room to run and sniff around. Having a senior dog of my own means I'm patient with older pups and slower walks, and Frances keeps me ready for high-energy ones too. I'll send photos and updates throughout every stay so you always know how your dog is doing. I'm the only caretaker: no one else will help care for your dog, and I personally handle every walk, visit and stay. I work from home and I'm home full-time, seven days a week, so your dog will never be left alone for long. My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy to fit in walks, play time, drop-ins and overnight stays whenever you need them. Your dog will always be supervised in my home. We have a large yard with an electric invisible fence, and I stay outside with every dog. My own two dogs are friendly, and I introduce new pups slowly and calmly.
“Dorothy was amazing! She is super caring and responsive, and made it really easy for me to know what my puppy was up to throughout the day. Would definitely recommend her for anyone!”
“A 3-month old puppy is not easy, but I had a family emergency and had to find support fast. Natalie quickly accepted my request, and was great with answering all my questions (I’m new to the app). She took great care of Oliver, and gave him all of the attention an active puppy needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hollymead
We were extremely nervous that our baby girl was going to be upset we left her in an unfamiliar place but I’m glad to say we were wrong. Kirstin sent so many pictures and updates of our girl and she looked happy, loved and “at home” with Kirstin at her place. We’re already planning to book again and would recommend her to anyone.
Oliver had a wonderful stay at James’! He was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we picked him up. Oliver also got well acquainted with Spike, the most adorable good boy! James was great with communication and made us feel completely at ease. We would definitely recommend James and would happily have Oliver stay with him again! 🐾❤️
Melissa was terrific and super accommodating. This was a last minute booking on a holiday weekend and she still made the time to do a meet and greet and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Melissa sent pictures and was very communicative through the whole stay. I appreciate her and her family for their care of Elle!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hollymead is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $84 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.
97% of sitters in Hollymead 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 Hollymead 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 Hollymead.
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 Hollymead. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Hollymead 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.
