“Bertie was amazing! I have a new rescue dog and he and the family were so gracious with Dolly. It let my husband and I relax and enjoy Charlotte while we were visiting! They sent a bunch of pictures to show she was in good hands (even tho she is a handful) Highly recommend!!!”
“Paula took great care of my anxious dog, Peaches, during a long overnight stay while I was recovering from surgery. She was patient, calm, and attentive, and Peaches absolutely loved her. I felt confident knowing Peaches was safe and well cared for the entire time. I would happily book with Paula again.”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Hillary has watched our dog three times and we’ve had wonderful experiences with each visit. I can tell that she has gotten to know our dog well and truly cares for her. Hillary communicates regularly with updates and photos that we really enjoy. I feel very comfortable when my dog is with Hillary and her family because I know she is safe and receiving a lot of love.”
“Nadia is amazing! She automatically made me feel comfortable with her knowledge of animals and her presence. Normally I would be worried to leave my dog to go out of the country, but Nadia made it such an easy and pleasant experience. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She respected all of the care instructions I left and made sure Moose was well taken care of. She and her husband treated him like family and made him feel welcome and spoiled with love, which I so appreciated. She truly is one of a kind and Moose really enjoyed his stay with her. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Our dog Lincoln loved staying at Christine’s place! She took such good care of him, and he came home very happy! We enjoyed our vacation without having to worry about our dogs comfort of safety. Thank you Christine!”
“Danielle took my last minute request to board Luna at her house. She was an AMAZING sitter. When we met her (since this was our first time meeting) she had a pen and paper ready to write down what Luna needed. Throughout her stay, Danielle sent lots of adorable pictures of play time and it made me feel at peace knowing Luna was in good hands. Her messages provided lots of updates with how Luna was doing and any pet who has her as a sitter is blessed to have found her!”
About: I have my associates degree in animal sciences and have been tending to animals of all kinds since I was very young. I have experience with farms along with typical house pets. I am a stay at home mom who loves to spend her days loving on animals and enjoying nature. We go on walks and enjoy each others company! I have 1 dog at home, which can be kept separate from other pets. I have an indoor/ outdoor cat. I have an extra large crate for those in need. I have a spacious yard, and leashes for those who need them.
“Yana is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and sent daily pictures and updates which gave me peace of mind that he was happy and healthy while I was away. Highly recommend her!”
“Moose had the best stay with Brianne and we feel lucky to have someone as wonderful as her watching him while we were away. She was attentive and wanted to know any specifics for how to best take care of him. We also loved the daily text updates. Will most definitely try to book with her in the future!”
“Amanda was great! She was communicative and sent us adorable photos of our boy throughout his stay. Our boy was treated like family and became best friends with her dog. I truly appreciate how much love he received while we were away!”
About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was 12! I started volunteering early with a local humane society and have been active in rescues ever since. I have also fostered dogs from two months-10 years old, including medical fosters, so I'm comfortable giving pets medicine if need be. I currently work at UVA in their communications office, where I have a lot of flexibility, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when I work remotely. I'm available most weekends and many holidays! I live in a shared house with a unfenced backyard and a couple of roommates, both of whom love dogs! There's a trail near me that I enjoy walking dogs on if they are OK with other people/dogs. Otherwise, I take dogs on walks once or twice daily.
About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.
“Annie was so sweet, she made sure our dog Maya was happy away from home. I was receiving pictures and updates every day and made sure we had a worry-free vacation. Maya had so much fun, a lot of playful moments with Annie’s dogs, even had a full spa day with a fun bubbly bath. ? I would be more than happy to be able to book with Annie again.”
“She took super good care of our puppers and followed all of our care instructions! We left our dog for a whole week while we went down to Mexico and we didn’t worry about him cause we knew he was in great hands. Will book with Reilly again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Monticello
I hadn't boarded my dog in over a year, and she's pretty reactive. I wasn't sure how it would go, but we met a few months before the boarding, and Mark put me at ease. He has a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs, and he let Orla meet his dogs and play while we went through his checklist of questions. He clearly loves taking care of the pets that stay with him. When I dropped her off for her 5-day stay, he let her ease into meeting the other dogs, and I could see she would be well-cared for. I felt so much better about leaving her for my trip. Communication was great, and he checked in a few times with some pics of Orla, too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Monticello is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $82 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 October 2026, there are 179 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 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 Lake Monticello 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 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.
