Beverly was a saint! She answered my request to board to board my little one on a very short notice (due to a funeral). This was my little guy's first time away from me since he's newly adopted. She sent lots of pictures and he looked very content in her company. I felt as though he found a second home and I will DEFINITELY request her again.

Megan has truly been a life saver! This is my dog Sage’s second long stay with Megan and her family and Sage has been doing great and she loves it! She has been socializing very well with her two dogs and her family. Her anxiety has gotten better with every stay. Megan always keeps us updated with plenty of text and pictures. I will definitely be booking again soon. I highly recommend Megan. -Ross Family

I was a bit nervous about leaving our dog Guus, especially since he was raised with Dutch commands. But we’re so grateful to have found such a loving American family where he truly came into his own. They took wonderful care of him and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with how they treated Guus and truly appreciated the warm and easy communication. Thank you for everything!

Kristyna is amazing! We recently moved to VA beach and she was our first sitter here. Because of her amazing care for our dog. We are going to put her on the top of our list for care. We know she gave the best care with her photos. We saw how happy Oscar was. So she is a great sitter and I recommend her.

Once again I had Madison watch my dog Cooper. She is absolutely fantastic with him and takes great care of him. Not even joking when I went to drop them off he took off down the street and ran right to her door. He was so excited. I know it's hard to find a good dog sitter but Madison is one of the best I have ever had.

There are not enough good words to describe this sweet family!! I had a knot in my stomach leaving my baby for 10 whole days, but they made it so much better! Constant updates and pictures, flexibility with drop off and pick up, and we even had a “meet and greet” prior to booking to make sure it was a great fit. I will definitely book with them again!

Highly recommend booking with Elexus! She is so sweet and great with dogs. She took the time to get to know our Australian shepherd through our profile before his stay which made me feel very at ease. She was extremely communicative throughout our week long trip and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She also sent multiple pictures throughout each day! If you’re looking for a kind, professional, communicative, and active person who loves dogs, Elexus is your girl!

I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'.

FAQs for Boarding - Norfolk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Norfolk on Rover is $38.85 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 1,007 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.

97% 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 VA 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.
