“Wonderful experience with Alexandra taking care of our dog Hazel. She loved playing with their dogs and received regular updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Great first stay with Kira! She was great with greeting Bentley and getting acquainted to him. They have a wonderful fenced backyard for the dogs to play in and hang out. The communication is very easy, Kira is quick to respond and a clear communicator. Drop off and pick up procedures were smooth as well. Bentley can't wait to go back soon!”
“Heather was amazing with our dog! She gave her lots of love, walks, and play time, and also gave our dog her meds on schedule. We received daily updates and photos as well. Definitely recommend!”
“Julie kept our two dogs for a long weekend and was absolutely fabulous. We were nervous leaving our younger dog (who has some anxiety) in a new place with someone new for the first time but it couldn’t have gone better. Both dogs seemed totally happy and at ease when we picked them up. I genuinely think they didn’t want to come home! We will certainly be using Julie again.”
“Katy and her family did a spectacular job caring for my dog while we were away. I appreciated Katy’s communication and flexibility. Her home was well-equipped to provide my dog with a great stay. Photo and videos showed my dog feeling comfortable and relaxed in this new environment. I’ll definitely be booking with Katy again!”
“Our dog Baily had such a great time with Maeve that we didn’t think he would want to leave. Maeve is very conscientious to each individual dog’s needs (she takes great note!). I would highly recommend anyone to have their dog stay with Maeve. She’s great”
“Barley had an excellent time with John and Sharon while I was away for two weeks. She came home happy and healthy. I received many updates and photos and never once worried about her while I was gone. Thank you John and Sharon- Barley looks forward to seeing you soon.”
“Lyndsey and Evan were amazing caretakers for our dog. They took him on multiple walks each day on the trails, which he absolutely loved. They were also very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“I was very nervous leaving my sweet hound, once a stray, with anyone but my own mom, but when she moved out of state, I had to find someone. I could not have found better hands to leave Loretta in! Julie cared for her perfectly, sent updates, gave her the perfect amount of alone time, and supervised time outside with other sweet dogs. I picked her up on a windy night, but I don’t think that was the only reason Loretta was reluctant to get in the car, I think she truly loved her new extended family!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Dennis took great care of my two dogs. They obviously had a wonderful time playing, going on nice walks, and being welcomed to his family: his daughters were superb with my pups as well. In addition, Dennis was also very proactive in getting in touch with me and easy to communicate. Excellent care and experience!”

We definitely lucked out finding Lyndsey & Evan!! They welcomed us and our boys (Pepper &Jack) with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement! I could tell immediately my boys felt right at home with them. I also felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them. They got multiple walks a day, endless playtime and cuddles. Thank you Lyndsey & Evan…We will see you again for sure 👍
Emily was amazing! We immediately felt so comfortable with her when we brought our dogs Franklin and Riley to stay the weekend at her home. She has a fantastic setup and was communicative about making sure she understood Franklin’s medicine schedule. Emily checked in with us and provided photos and videos. Our dogs had the best time with her and we absolutely would recommend her. We are already looking forward to the next time our dogs get to stay with her again!
We cannot recommend Alexandra enough! She watched Snoopy for nearly a week and sent wonderful photo updates throughout the stay, took amazing care of him, and he came home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. We are already looking forward to booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Norfolk on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,186 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norfolk. 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.
92% of Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk.
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 Norfolk 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 MA 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.
