“Fantastic! John was great with communication before and throughout Manny’s stay. Made sure I was comfortable leaving my baby boy and sent me photos every day. Manny seemed right at home with him, and I was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my boy!”
“My two dogs had a great time with Jody. She adapted to their schedule and gave them their meds as instructed. She sent pictures during their stay which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Jody.”
“We are so happy to have found Emily- I am no longer concerned about leaving our dog when we go out of town, because Emily sends regular updates and pictures, and we know she's in great hands! Drop off and pick up are a breeze, and our dog wags her tail every time we pull up to the house.”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Our Golden, Eli, received, EXCELLENT care and attention ~ and Katie kept us updated daily, including photos, which kept us from worrying and assured us he was happy and doing well!!!”
“Ashley and her family were great! She sent us pictures and videos of our pups throughout the weekend. I don’t think my lab wanted to leave when I picked them up. We will definitely use her again.”
“Abby did an outstanding job watching my dog, Annie. I really appreciated her updates throughout the time she took care of Annie. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Best dog sitter EVER!!! Rebecca started sending photos of LuLu within minutes of us dropping her off, and she continued sending pictures during the entire pet sit. We could see that LuLu was being well cared for and was getting loads of attention. I don't think Rebecca was able to get anything done for herself because she devoted so much time to LuLu! LuLu gets separation anxiety, but I don't have to worry about that now that I've found Rebecca. LuLu gets to have a vacation at Auntie Rebecca's place while we are having our vacation. We all have fun! Rebecca is responsible and attentive to every detail. She lives in a safe neighborhood and has a fully fenced yard. She never leaves LuLu unattended in the yard, and they spend hours outside every day. She spoiled her with attention, not food, which is important to me. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough! If she is available when you need a dog sitter, do not hesitate to book with Rebecca.”
“Donna took care of my little old Maltese for a month and he was treated royally! I wasn't 100% sure he would want to come home. It was obvious that she catered to his needs and was more than tolerant of his shortcomings. She was the perfect companion for Teddy and I would definitely use her services again.”
“Was very responsive and detail oriented. Very experienced! She even pointed out something small going on with Apollo's back paw. Apollo looked like a happy pup when I came to pick him up.”
“This was our second booking with Rover and again we were VERY pleased with our Sophie’s stay. They loved her as we do and incorporated her into their family! They kept us updated with many pictures of her stay which was very comforting when you leave your beloved pet. We would definitely recommend this sitter and will rebook them when in the area again. A plus rating from us and Sophie!!”
“Selena was an 11th hour request and she accommodated me and my little ones with no issues at all. Selena kept all 3 of my dogs for 3.5 days and they enjoyed their time with her. She kept me posted with pictures and an update. She asked questions if she saw something odd and she let me know how they were doing. I would not have gone on vacation had I not felt comfortable with our first conversation where she told me that she allows the dogs to roam the house and be part of the family. ❤️ if you book with Selena, you can have peace of mind! I'll be booking with her again, no doubt!”
About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days. I’m overly open with pets being out around the house, they can be crated if needed of course. I have a small fenced area but a leash would still be needed preferably due to my neighbors dogs.
“It was our first time leaving our dog Ollie to stay with anyone and Allison made it a lot easier for us! She sent us pictures of him playing and let us know how he was doing the whole time. We picked him up after being gone a week and he didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend Allison to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!”
“Merry was such a great pet sitter ! It was my 1 st time using rover.com and i didn’t know what to exspect so I messaged a few peoeple and Merry was the 1 st to respond with in minutes. It was a last Minute trip. She was able to watch my German Shepard that same day I messaged her ! She was very caring and knowledgeable about dogs . My 1 1/2 year old German Shepard went right up to her with out any problems, he instantly felt the love ! Thankyou again Marry”
“Lisa and her family did a great job watching our puppy for over a week while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog LOVED their 2 dogs and them having a fenced in backyard was perfect for him. She responded very quickly and was respectful and professional. She sent us updates and pictures, so we were always in the know on our pup. We could tell he had a blast and was well taken care of and they stuck to his daily routine which really helped too! We will definitely be booking with her family again for future vacations!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.
“Amanda was great with our dog while we were away for over a week. Her dogs got along with mine and they even shared toys. She also has a large fenced in yard for him to run around. She sent lots of pictures and updates and did a great job communicating with us along with being very punctual and reliable throughout the stay and during drop off and pickup times. Would definitely recommend to others!”
About: I have been dog sitting since my freshman year of high school to raise money for a school trip to Costa Rica that I attended in 2023. I am currently available anytime of the week. I am willing to stay overnight if needed. Or even stopping by to walk/let out the pets. I would rather not do it in my home just because I do not have a fenced in yard and I have three other dogs in my home.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lithia is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $35 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 179 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lithia. 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.
95% of sitters in Lithia 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 Lithia 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 Lithia.
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 Lithia. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Lithia 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.
