“John and Joanna continue to be amazing substitute parents for our two little Havanese. One of our dogs was having a problem going to the bathroom (which she has a vet appointment for) and they were so attentive to her. They made both of our dogs feel welcome and loved. We can’t wait to have them watch our dogs again soon!”
“Guojin was absolutely great to work with. They took care of our dog for a week while we were away… he sent me pictures to keep me posted and was very responsive with messages. I plan to use him again when we need help.”
“Tamara was wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️”
“Veronica is a wonderful pet sitter. All three of my somewhat anxious dogs (one a senior) ate well and seemed content and happy. Quick response to a check-in as I was traveling. Hope to book with her again soon!”
“Boarded my cat, Lulu, with Samantha for a week and have nothing but good things to say! She took excellent care of her and was very responsive before, during, and at the time of pickup. She made sure Lulu was comfortable during her stay and provided plenty of updates throughout the week. Would absolutely book with Samantha again for any future boarding needs. Thanks again!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”
“Alyse is wonderful with Nalu, and I can tell she takes great care of her. She seems like a happy pup after coming home! I always receive updates and photos from Alyse throughout the visits which is always appreciated 😊 thank you!”
“Henry was great watching our two dogs for 8 days. He was very responsive to any questions or information we were seeking. He was highly communicative sending pictures and updates. We could tell he genuinely cared about our dogs. Highly recommended.”
About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving extra attention to shy or anxious pets. I am home all day! Your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m happy to handle morning and midday walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, and last-minute requests. Because I’m home all day, I can watch your pet closely and give plenty of attention. I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.
“I would give Ashle 6 stars if I could! She took great care of Nani! Sent me photos and video updates, was flexible with drop off and pick up time which I appreciated most. The best surprise was when I picked up my pup and she had a little treat bag for her with a sweet card and keepsake picture of her! I was worried with my pups food allergies but she followed all my instructions and I can tell Ashle takes her job very seriously. I think I found my star sitter!”
“Noelle took great care of our dog! Our dog was very happy, and connected with her! She also sent regular updates, and gave us a lot of comfort of leaving our dog with her. Thanks much! :)”
“We cannot thank Na-young enough for taking such wonderful, loving care of Maddy! Maddy can be a bit of a picky eater, and Na-young was so patient and attentive with her throughout the stay. When Maddy wasn't eating much on one of the days, Na-young was completely transparent with me right away. She reached out to ask if there were any tips to get her to eat or if this was just typical behavior for Maddy sometimes. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing how closely Na-young was watching over her. She treated Maddy like absolute family—she and her husband were even sweet enough to let Maddy sleep in bed with them, which I know Maddy adored! If you're looking for a communicative, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I cannot recommend Na-young enough. Thank you!”
“Sujan took excellent care of Max. We received frequent updates, with great pictures. Max has a great time with him. Sujan will be our first choice the next time we need a sitter!”
“Corey took absolutely wonderful care of Ares and Athena! It’s clear they both thoroughly enjoyed their stay and got plenty of playtime and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a caring and active sitter!”
“Vivian does a wonderful job of taking care of Herschel. She listens to our instructions and makes Herschel feel comfortable and at home. I highly recommend Vivian to watch your pets.”
“Ashley took exceptional care of my Labrador, Shadow, while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I met Ashley, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats every one of them as part of her family. Throughout Shadow's stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Shadow wasn't just boarded—he was welcomed into a loving home where he received plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and excellent care. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable, which speaks volumes about the environment Ashley provides. Knowing that my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for allowed me to focus on my trip without worrying. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She truly goes above and beyond, and I would gladly leave Shadow in her care again. Thank you, Ashley, for treating Shadow like one of your own!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Legato
Joanna and John were wonderful with our little senior dog. Leaving an older pup in someone else’s care is never easy, but they made us feel completely at ease. They were so kind, patient, and attentive, and it was clear they genuinely cared. We really appreciated the love and attention they gave our little guy and the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We couldn't have asked for better care and would happily recommend them to anyone!
Claire and Simon were wonderful about keeping us reassured that our pup was doing well. We were very happy with the care they provided and, most importantly, felt that our puppy was happy, healthy, relaxed, and genuinely welcomed into their home. We'd happily book with them again!
We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! She is incredibly communicative and always sends tons of pictures and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She treats our dogs like they’re her own, makes sure they get any medications they need right on schedule, and goes above and beyond to make them feel loved and comfortable. Honestly, it feels like our dogs get to go on their own vacation whenever we go on vacation! One of our dogs especially loves getting to play with her dog, which makes the experience even more special. It’s such a relief knowing our dogs are in such caring, capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Denise took great care of my dog, Dallie. Dallie is an anxious dog but Denise showed a lot of patience with her so that Dallie eventually warmed up. She even became affectionate with Denise which she doesn’t always do so quickly. Denise made sure Dallie had her medication every day and even hand fed her since my dog can be a picky eater. She also sent me photos and an update every day so I knew how she was doing. I’ll gladly leave her with Denise again.
Melissa was great! She paid close attention to our instructions and advice. We were nervous because our dogs had never stayed with a non-family member before, but she took care of them as if they were her own. They obviously were comfortable with her and we would definitely use her again.
Cassidy watched our dog Ranger for a week while we were on an international trip. Ranger deals with some anxiety and reactivity to other dogs, but Cassidy did an amazing job with listening to our concerns and making sure we (and Ranger!) felt comfortable. She provided us photos and updates and that definitely let us relax while we were away from Ranger for the first time in quite a bit. Ranger seemed to love his time with Cassidy and we would definitely rebook again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Legato is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $75 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 of November 2026, there are 7,296 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Legato. 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 Legato 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 Legato 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 Legato.
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 Legato. 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 Legato 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.
