“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Veronica did an excellent job watching our older dog while we went away for a long weekend. She let us do a meet and greet first and she was so kind and patient as I explained dog care needs. We are taking our dog back next week and are confident Veronica will provide excellent care once again.”
“Kat and Brian are always terrific! They are flexible with their schedule if changes need to be made and they take such good care of our Weezy. She always comes home happy!”
“Prisila has watched out 2 senior pups twice and we have felt connected each time! She sent updates and was flexible with drop off/pick up. She gave them their medications and different foods. Recommend 100%!!”
“Noah was amazing with my high energy dog. He provided tons of exercise and picture updates and made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my baby with him. He followed my care instructions to the T, and I came home to a healthy, happy, and tired pup. In addition, he reinforced training and provided a safe space for my dog to rest in a crate. His dogs are also super sweet and got along very well with mine. Would definitely recommend Noah as a dogsitter!”
“Jose took great care of Oliver during his weekend stay! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and shared great photos and videos throughout the stay! His home is clean and communication was quick. Thank you!”
“Aisha must have been great because my dog didn’t seem like he was ready to leave when I picked him up. Aisha sent pictures and messages about how Poppy was doing while he was with her and he looked happy. I will definitely use Aisha again.”
“Very nice, and caring. I felt safe and secure leaving my baby with Roxanna and her family. Bella came back with new extra energy from making a new friend in their dog. Roxanna communicates well and often which was reassuring while I was awhile from my baby. She is great!”
“We are so happy to have found Byamba and his family to board our dog, Rex. He was super responsive when booking, even though it was only a week before our trip. When I dropped Rex off, I could tell that Byamba was an experienced dog watcher. He was amazing with sending updates and pictures, so we felt super confident that Rex was well cared for. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using him again for future travel.”
“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.”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“My dog received great care. Lowell is super with dogs, showing lots of patience and sharing much insight. Though my rescue dog, unfortunately, suffers from separation anxiety, Lowell offered him the best care possible with lots of attention, playtime, and exercise. Would highly recommend Lowell.”
“Annie just spent her second long vacation with Lauren and it's so nice for us to know she's in such good care. We very much recommend Lauren and Bentley to take loving care of your pup!”
“I'm so happy to have left my dog in Bethany's care! You can tell she's an animal lover and treats pets with so much care and attention. I appreciated the photo she sent me while Korben was enjoying the dog park. I'm so happy to have found Bethany and I most certainly leave Korben with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Shawn was an amazing sitter. Pleasant, easy going, pet lover. His yard is a fenced resort for the pets- with a fountain, trees, and huge space for dogs to run. I will definitely be using him again!”
“Our second stay with Leah. Everything was perfect from the drop off, individualized pet care, pick up and easy communication throughout the entire process. My normally nervous dog felt at home with Leah. Highly recommend! Thank you, Leah!”
“Suzi took great care of Hyuna. She sent frequent updates and pictures which made me feel very comfortable knowing that my dog was being well taken care of. I can tell that Hyuna loved her stay, and had a lot of fun! We look forward to booking with Suzi again soon, and recommend her to anyone who’s interested in her services!”
“Carmen and her family were great with my Goldendoodle Diego. It was out first time boarding him and she made me feel very comfortable. Throughout his stay she kept me informed with updates on how he was doing. I could tell he was very comfortable in her home. I will definitely be using Carmen’s services again for my big boy Diego. If you need a place to leave your fur baby, don’t hesitate to book Carmen. She will provide them with all the love and comfort they need. Thanks Carmen!”
“Brogan was amazing! My dog instantly loved her eben though she usually needs some time to warm up to new people. She sent me updates regularly and made sure Vienna had a great time. I would absolutely book Brogan again and I'm sure my dog will be very happy to see her again!”
“Andy did an amazing job watching our five month old puppy, and on last-minute notice as well! It was our first time leaving him overnight and we are so grateful to Andy for taking such wonderful care of him, he returned to us happy and tired from plentiful playtime and walks.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
Carmen and her family were amazing dog sitters for our dog while we were gone for almost two weeks for our wedding and honeymoon. With so much going on, it gave us so much comfort and joy to know that our dog was so well taken care of. Our dog has anxiety and reactivity issues (towards other dogs) so he can sometimes be a handful to take care of, but Carmen and her family gave us so much confidence that he was well taken care of, felt safe, and was having fun while we were gone. We will definitely consider rebooking in the future!
Louie had an amazing stay with Sarah! I never felt as comfortable leaving Louie with a sitter as I did with Sarah. He quickly adjusted to her home and I could tell from the numerous photos and videos that he was enjoying his time with her. Thanks Sarah! We will be rebooking in the future!
Sissi was the absolute best dog foster mom for my two dogs. She had no problem with their special home made food and they had such a good time playing in her back yard. Even more importantly, she loved on them and gave them so much attention! I could tell how happy they were in all the wonderful photos and videos she provided. She loved my dogs like they were her own and am so glad to have found a loving and caring dog sitter that I can use for when I need to travel or even doggy daycare. Fozzie and Jerry send their love!!
Always a joy having Banjo stay with Kevin and his amazing family. They do such an amazing job taking care of him and communicating with us. Feels like he’s almost always sad to leave them! They do a great job with daily updates and photos, and lots of snuggles. Thanks Kevin and fam!
Javier was amazing with our dog Brody! It was our first time using Rover and Javier made us feel at ease with multiple updates a day, videos, and photos. Brody loved the backyard and with every update from Javier, we felt more and more at ease that our Brody was being taken care of. Highly recommend Javier!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jefferson is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $105 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 7,484 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jefferson. 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson.
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 Jefferson. 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 Jefferson 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.
