5+ stars!! Mark and Daniel are wonderful. They are kind and gentle and made the whole process seamless. Our energetic German shepherd had surgery a week before our trip and they were able to help keep him comfy, monitor his healing, help give medications, and spoil him! We would absolutely book with them again and recommend to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup! Very communicative and they truly go the extra mile to care for your pet like it’s their own ❤️

This sitter literally saved me! Another sitter canceled right before my flight and in a matter of minutes they have responded and took my pet in with welcoming arms! They communicated efficiently, updated me every day throughout the day, and most importantly my dog was himself around them. Heaven sent family ! Don’t waste your time and book now!🩷

Katina is awesome, and my beagle Ellie gets excited every time we turn down the road to her house. It is very comforting to me to know that when I leave Ellie with her she is is the best of hands; Katina always takes great care of my girl and she keeps me posted while I am away. Thanks Katina! Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience ! Heather and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. They were flexible and extended the stay for our dogs when we needed to stay an extra day. The dogs were very happy and enjoyed playing with her little girls. I will definitely request Heather when we board our pups.

Jesse and Emily were absolutely amazing. They took such great care of our sweet boy and sent lots of updates. Our dog unfortunately had a medical event (he has known epilepsy) during his stay and they handled it incredibly. They were so communicative and loving and went above and beyond to make sure he was okay. We could not be more grateful to have had them watching our dog while we were away.

Svitlana was so great with Birdie. She sent updates and pictures which really set our mind at ease because Birdie isn't used to being away from us for a long weekend. She took Birdie on walks and let her chill on the couch. Thanks for all your care with Birdie!

Robin was fantastic!!! When we used other kennels in the past and our dogs always came home “shell shocked” and were skittish for weeks. We left them with Robin from Thursday to Sunday and they were happy running and playing … socializing!!! Robin sent pics daily. We will definitely bring our dogs back to Robin.

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.

Cash had the best time on his weekend stay with Aly. He had a Super Bowl party with new friends! I got lots of updates and could tell he was happy and relaxed. When I went to pick him up he said hello and trotted right back inside, he was not ready to leave! I know he will be so excited to go back to his new vacation house whenever we have to leave town!

I can't recommend James enough! This was our first time travelling without our dog, and James was very responsive to all of our requests. He sent us daily pictures of her which really helped us since this was the first time we were away from her since adopting. Our dog came home sleepy and happy and it was obvious to us that she was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We're already planning our next trip so that we can book James again!

FAQs for Boarding - Lake Monticello

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Monticello on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Monticello. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Lake Monticello sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lake Monticello landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Monticello 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 Lake Monticello.

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.

You and your Lake Monticello 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.
