About: I have a 5-year-old border collie. He’s very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I live in a town house so I don’t have a yard per say. I typically take my dog to parks/fields in Ashland to hike or run around. I typically walk my border collie about 4 miles a day as well. I work remote so I am usually home. Available 7 days a week. I usually go to the gym for a few hours each day but try to be home for my dog to keep him active as a herding dog (border collie) I will do 2 long walks per day typically (2 miles each). I will also take my dog and yours hiking or to a field/park but not a dog park. I can go to a fenced in field if needed for your dog. Mine doesn’t need a fence.
“Liliya did a wonderful job boarding our dog! She was so communicative, took wonderful pictures, and took care of our pup while he had an upset stomach. She is wonderful and we would highly recommend her, and her family to anyone looking for dog care or boarding!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Our dog has been staying with Jenna and Michael the past couple years whenever we go out of town and I am convinced he looks forward to our vacation more than us. He is extremely well taken care of and has the time of his life playing with them and their pup Chase. He comes home happy and exhausted. 😊. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. The walks and family time were just what our dog loves. He came home happy and well-rested and not exhausted like he usually does when boarded at a kennel-type facility. He enjoyed the love and attention he received, as well as the interaction with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Jess again!”
“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”

“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Jessie took incredible care of my dog. We had done a meet and greet, a few days before, but, otherwise, Piper/my dog did not know her. She made her very comfortable, and she really seemed to have a great time! Lots of pics and videos!”
“My cats were well cared for during their stay. Alec and Damien responded quickly, were flexible with drop off and pickup times, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would recommend them to others.”

About: I have walked and taken care of dogs since I was super young. I have a young creme and is my world and I treat every dog like it was my own. I haven’t worked in years and both my girls are in school so my schedule is very flexible. I enjoy exercise as well plus I walk my pup daily I have a huge fenced in yard where the dogs can play and lots of room to run around and act like a dog and play
“Thank you Alex so much for taking care of Moab during July 4th weekend. Alex accommodated short notice boarding and very flexible with pickup/drop off time. Tons of update pictures he sent throughout the days. No issues with the stay whatsoever. I trust Alex caring for my senior dog. I will definitely use Alex next time when I’m out of town. No doubt!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She took care of my two dogs for a week while I was away for work, and she was absolutely wonderful. She sent me photos and videos every day, keeping me updated on how my pups were doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. My dogs are like my children, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I came home to two very content pups and a clean, well-cared-for home. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to take care of their pups! Thank you Julie!”

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 👍
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!

The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 4,311 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Norfolk. About 90% of Norfolk sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
