“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”

She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”

She asked a lot of questions about Max’s routine and day to day food and care needs and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my precious baby in her care. Pheobe was super sweet and she and Max played and lounged and overall got along very well.”

Veronica was absolutely wonderful with Tiger! This was my first time having her watch him, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was so warm and welcoming at the meet and greet, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the three days, she was incredibly communicative and thoughtful, sending regular updates and photos. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Tiger looked in her care. I could tell she genuinely took the time to make him feel safe, loved, and comfortable. One of the sweetest moments was at pickup: after Tiger was so excited to see me, he actually kept looking back at Veronica as she walked away. That little moment said everything to me. He clearly felt safe and cared for with her, and that means the world. I am so grateful to Veronica for taking such wonderful care of Tiger. I would absolutely recommend her and would not hesitate to have her watch him again. I feel very lucky to have found her!

Sabrina took fantastic care of our senior dog, Remi. He requires a lot of medications, as well as the use of a pee pad, at baseline. Then, right before our scheduled vacation, he also developed an eye ulcer. Sabrina was able to manage administering three different eye drops multiple times a day, as well as oral medications. I also made a mistake when booking and had to extend the reservation at the last minute, which Sabrina easily and very graciously accommodated. Remi was very well taken care of and got an A+ from the dog ophthalmologist the day after we returned. Sabrina also communicated frequently, with pictures and updates, and let us know how Remi was doing daily. We highly recommend Sabrina and would book with her again!

Leila has been an amazing dog sitter. We’ve used her twice so far and are planning to use her again. She sends multiple photos and updates to let us know that our little pup is being well cared for—eating well (we have a picky eater), sleeping comfortably, going outside for walks and potty breaks and playing. She’s very conscientious and we have complete confidence in her as a sitter. We’ve been able to relax while away knowing our dog is in great hands.

Danielle was great from start to finish! She eased my mind that shadow would be okay. She took care of him like he was her own and it helped that shadow loved playing with her dog as well. She sent a lot of updates and videos that made me feel better! He had such a good time and he was properly cared for. If you want your pet to be treated with love and care, definitely reach out to her!

I can’t say enough great things about Christy! Leaving your pet behind is always tough, but with Christy, I never have to worry about my dog Destin. She is fantastic about sending regular updates and photos so I always know how Destin is doing. She’s also incredibly flexible and accommodating when it comes to drop-off and pick-up times, which makes scheduling completely stress-free. Destin loves staying with her, and I couldn't ask for a more reliable, caring sitter. Thank you Christy!!

This was the first time our 9 year old Pug stayed away from us and he was obviously anxious despite a pre stay advance visit. Alyce ensured he was not left alone, asked questions about his care and behavior when appropriate, and kept me updated throughout. I found the pictures reassuring. Not only was he pampered, but she didn't evict him when he raised a leg to mark her living room chair!! I highly recommend her services and will not hesitate to book future stays with Alyce.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lincolnia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lincolnia is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $73 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 7,384 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lincolnia. 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 Lincolnia 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 Lincolnia 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 Lincolnia.

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 Lincolnia. 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 Lincolnia 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.
