“Alexandra took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. And I really appreciated all the pictures & video of Harry playing with his new fur friends!! He literally was smiling in the pictures ?. I will definitely book with Alex again in the future.”
“They are a great team. They cared very well for my dog and made him feel at home. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Took lots a great pictures. A very pleasant and positive experience with Sarah and Ben. I’m sure I’ll use them again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had a meet and greet with Katy and she was wonderful with the girls. This was the first overnight away from home for our two adorable energetic fur babies (3 years old) and it was a great success. We were comfortable knowing they were in good hands and were so grateful for the care and attention she and her husband Joe gave them. They took them on long walks (and shared pics so we knew they were well taken care of). We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving reliable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“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!”
“Kyla is always amazing! We 100% trust her with our shy and skittish dogs. She also went above and beyond to care for our Frenchie who had a back injury a few weeks before our trip.”
“Leo L was a fantastic host! He sent us a lot of pictures of our dog having fun. And made sure she got the exercise that she needed. He was very open to her schedule and I felt like he really cared about her well-being.”
About: We are an experienced dog-friendly household! We’ve cared for our own dogs as well as friends and family’s, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special diets. My mother has fostered numerous dogs in the past. We currently have one 75 lb neutered mutt and a very friendly cat. I’m currently working as a server, so my schedule is different every week, but I often have three days off per week and all mornings free. My mom works during the day with some work from home days as well, so she is usually around in the evenings. We have a fenced in yard and one dog who is always happy to have another one to run around with. We’re happy to crate your dog if needed or work on training.
“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!”
“Megan was great! We came from out of town for an extended stay, and wanted to take a one day excursion without our dog Bentley. Even knowing it was likely to be a one-time dog-sitting opportunity - or at least very occasional - Megan was very responsive, arranged a meeting with her dog in advance, and when the day came, the two dogs and Megan all got along great! Bentley seemed happy to see us but reluctant to leave when we picked him up! And we got a lot of feedback and pictures during both days of his one-night stay. If the opportunity comes up again, we'll definitely turn to Megan again, too!”
“Boning was great with Maple - gave great updates on what they were up to, how she walked and ate, etc. Maple was spoiled by cuddles and a great fenced in yard. We would be happy to book with her again!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Andrew and Heidi were amazing! They went above and beyond to take care of Teddy, even letting him sleep in their bed. He clearly had a great time with them, and we will be using them again when we travel.”
“Richard had a great time with our Australian Shepherd! After a meet and greet, I felt comfortable that his dog Jack would get along with my dog. When we returned, our dog was happy and tired, evidence that she had a great time with daily walks and play time.”
“Cannoli enjoys his stays with Tianyue! He always comes back happy, and he seems to love playing with the other dogs! Tianyue has been great about accommodating our last minute travel. She is very communicative and sends pictures!”
“Jing was great with our 2-year-old Havanese Ray. She understands dogs, their behavior, and their needs, and she and her family clearly love and enjoy the dogs in their care. From all the photos, Ray seemed to be having a wonderful time running around the amazing fenced-in backyard much of the time he was there. And we were appreciative of having a safe place to leave Ray while we went away.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was easy to coordinate with, provided plenty of updates (including some really adorable photos), and made our time away stress free because we knew our dog was in great hands!”
“Stefanie watched our 3yr old lab Levi for a long weekend. She was very kind and attentive to our dog. Sent many pics and updates for us. I could tell she truly loves dogs. We felt very comfortable with her care for our dog. I would highly recommend her. Best, Alivia”
“Debi and her family did a fantastic job watching Remy while we were out of town for a weekend! They gave him lots of walks, played with him outside in the yard and sent regular updates with pictures to us. We highly recommend Debi, Remy had a blast and we definitely will be a repeat client!”

Bailey had a great time with Lindsay. It was so comforting to know that she was happy and comfortable in Lindsay's home thanks to a meet and greet. All Bailey's likes and quirks were catered to. Regular photos and updates gave us peace of mind on our 2 week trip. Will definitely be back fort the next trip!
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 👍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Norfolk is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $84 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 October 2026, there are 4,226 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 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
