“Katina did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. We felt at ease with her photo and message updates. Pizza looked like he had a blast with her doggos and we hope that they’ll get to hang again in the future!”

“Charissa’s boarding and care for dogs is unmatched by anything we have tried! Archie had the best time while he stayed with Charissa for 2 full weeks. We had never left him that long and I knew I didn’t want a “free for all” with my puppy as he needs some structure and Charissa’s knowledge of dogs made me confident that this would be the case and it was. He was well cared for and Charissa provided regular updates and was very responsive. Highly recommend Charissa and we will be using her services again!”

“This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.”

“I am overwhelmed with joy at how AMAZING Nadia was with watching my baby boy. Truly, she went above and beyond in a way I’m not accustomed to. My husband and I have only left Zuko with trusted family and friends, especially after having a bad experience leaving him at a kennel when no one we knew were available. Understandably, we were a little nervous leaving him for the first time since with a stranger. From the start, Nadia was incredibly responsive, having responded to my request immediately. Her initial detailed questions showed she takes this very seriously and I had a good feeling so we booked. Upon drop-off, Nadia was unbelievably thorough, asking more questions and making sure we covered everything, while also informing me of the type of care she planned to provide, such as supplementing Zuko’s diet with healthy human food, and taking him out into the woods as long as I was comfortable with it. She and her husband were so warm, welcoming, and sweet, greeting our pup as if they already knew him, and while our pup is normally very timid around new people, he seemed really comfortable in both their presence. My husband and I drove away feeling at ease that Zuko was in safe, capable hands. Throughout her time with him, Nadia frequently sent adorably written updates with pictures, and she gave him plenty of exercise, stimulation, and lots of spoils with great food. We were able to relax on our vacation and not worry, as Nadia gave our boy the most amazing love and care that a pet parent can only dream of from their sitter. It was clear Zuko enjoyed his time as he seemed to have already made himself at home and looked so happy being at the retreat upon pick-up. I cannot recommend Nadia more highly!!! She is the absolute best, and if we were local, I know without a doubt that we’d be regulars.”

“Heather & Nigel are the best! When the dogs are so excited to hop out of the car, don't turn to look when we are leaving, and run off to play with their puppy friends, it brings so much reassurance that they are in the right place. I can't recommend Heather & Nigel enough!”

“Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!”

“Briane is the BEST! Our 10 year old rescue had a tough start to life, so as a result, he has some pretty bad anxiety. He LOVED every minute of his time with Briane - we can tell b/c she sent us lots of pics and updates! She was so kind and understanding of our guy’s issues and needs. He had a blast running around her huge yard, and also enjoyed lots of long walks. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Laura kept our 9-month old, 70lb 'puppy' for a week and we had a great experience. Laura was prompt, easy to deal with and kept in regular touch with us while we were away. Our dog had a learning curve to contend with - it was her first Rover experience and her first time living around other dogs. Laura handled it all without complaint . She provides lots of room to run, play and be free at her space.”

Katina is absolutely amazing! She takes great care of our dog while he’s there and he comes home happy. Katina is very communicative and provides a great environment inside and outside for our dog. We always feel comfortable going on a trip when we leave our dog with her. I highly recommend Katina and her facility!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hunters

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hunters is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $43 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 178 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hunters. 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.

99% of sitters in Hunters 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 Hunters 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 Hunters.

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 Hunters. On Rover:

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 Hunters 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.
