“Emily helped me out on short notice in a very stressful moving situation. i can’t thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave to my brothers three extremely scared cats. i highly recommend Emily.”
“From the moment Whitney met my little four-legged girl, she recognized her anxiety and showed incredible patience, taking the time to help her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. As a nervous pet parent, that meant everything to me. Within a short time after drop off, I received updated photos of my little fur baby looking happy, relaxed, and all smiles! Whitney and her husband gave me complete peace of mind, allowing me to truly relax and enjoy my weekend event without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”
“Thank you once again for making our Thanksgiving holiday worry free. We loved the pictures and updates. I am sure that our pup is eager for us to find an excuse to bring her back.”
“John and Sharon were great when watching my chihuahua ruby. Ruby is nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up and they were very patient with her, and even got her to feel comfortable enough for some playtime - which I consider quite the success over the course of only a day! I’m sure ruby will be back to visit again soon.”
“Maeve greets Leo like he is her family member! He happily runs in and is at home immediately. She texts me photos every day and is accomodating when my drop off and pick up times are in flux. Great dog sitter!”
“Very nice hosts. They obviously love animals and made Josie apart of their family. Chris sent lots of videos and photos. My dog, Josie seemed to have a very enjoyable stay. Very convenient location off of I495 in Franklin when traveling to the Cape.”
“Our 9 month old pup had a great stay with Julie! Julie was wonderful with her -- patient and kind and understanding of our pup's needs. Our dog loved playing in the backyard and snuggling in for the night. We enjoyed receiving photos and updates from Julie. Highly recommend!”
“Loved Lyndsey and appreciated all the time she spent with Buddy. Enjoyed all the updates and pictures from the weekend. Will definitely plan another stay in the future!”
“This is the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family. Kyla was very kind and understanding and sent me pictures and updates on Frankie during our time away. She made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. I would highly recommend Kyla. Her young daughter also took a liking to Frankie and took very good care of him.”
“Our dog loved staying at Sean's house! He was great at communicating to set up the booking. He also sent adorable photos each day so we were able to enjoy our trip without worry.”
“Sarah & Luis were wonderful hosts for our 12 year old dog Bailey. They sent daily pictures & provided daily updates. Look forward to booking with them again.”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Jenna and Micheal took great care of Shep! We loved all the videos and photos they sent over the long weekend - it was so great that Shep had a friend to play with all weekend, he was super tired when we picked him up”
“Su was amazing and so caring with our senior French bulldog, bulldog. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and communicated on a regular basis about her well being and food and water consumption. We felt like we had a very good idea of how she was doing while we were away on vacation. We are very grateful for his thoughtfulness- they got into a good rhythm and I think Frances really enjoyed her time with Su!”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”

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!
My dogs; Louie and Paislee, have the BEST time with Lyndsey, Evan, and Rollie. They come back so tired, relaxed, and happy. They go for long walks daily, I get photo updates daily, and they never leave the dogs alone for long. They even let my bed hogs sleep in bed with them. We will always leave our dogs here when we travel!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Norfolk on Rover is $69.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,257 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.
91% 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.
