“Amber was excellent. She provided us with a number of pictures of our dog while we were away on vacation. She responded well to any questions we had. We will definitely use Amber and Ian again for future stays.”
“Oh my gosh…what an awesome experience working with Rachel and her family! Her kids loved Mav and even their dog Shadow absolutely loved playing with him as well. He had room to run, got tons of love and exercise and came home tired! Tough to do to a 1 year old Australian Shepard. I 100% will contact Rachel FIRST every time we go out of town!”
About: I enjoy taking care of all sizes and ages of dogs. I also love to exercise, so walking dogs is a fun way to do it! I currently work 7:30-3:30 and I have about a 20-30 minute drive home. Typically, I am available from 4-6 pm Monday-Friday. During these winter months I would like it to be before it gets dark. I take care of every pet as its my own. I am very careful when I walk my own dog as she likes to run after cars (tries to).
About: I have a long history of caring for pets! I have professional experience in a grooming and boarding kennel, as well as other agricultural animal caretaker positions. I am experienced with senior dogs, medications, and administering subcutaneous fluids. I am a stay at home, home schooling mother of 2 and a birth worker. I am home every day and available to walk dogs. We have a fenced in yard. My oldest child loves going for walks. During nice weather, we frequently like to go to the nearby state park and walk the trails around the lake. I have a fenced in yard and can walk multiple times a day. I have one cat and 2 young children (b. 2020 and 2023). I do have dog crates that can be used to crate while I am away, if necessary.
“Romina is an amazing sitter!! She took excellent care of my year old retriever for over a week! She would send me daily videos, photos and updates about how my dog was doing. She has a very open and friendly personality too which was very nice! Highly recommend her 🥰”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Norfolk on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norfolk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 NE 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.
