“Tina is absolutely wonderful! She took wonderful care of our dog. He has a hard time eating when we leave him with a sitter, and she did everything she could to make sure he stayed happy & fed. She also kept me informed every day and sent pictures of our little guy. I never like leaving him for long but I felt so comfortable knowing he was at Tina’s. Her family is so friendly, & her house is nice and clean. Their yard is also a great place for the dogs to run around. I’m really thankful we found her before a long road trip — it was one less thing I had to worry about! I highly recommend Tina and will be using her again if we need a sitter!”
“Marie was such a wonderful and caring with our dog Chito. She was very professional and updated us with pictures and messages of his activities. Our dog really enjoyed staying there from the looks of the pictures. From the moment he met Marie, he just took off without a complaint and was very excited to meet her. I would 10000% recommend her to take care of your dogs and I would rebook her again. Thank you Marie! ❤️”
“Rachel was so great! She took such good care of our miniature dachshund and sent us lots of photos. At first I was a little nervous about how our dog would interact with her other dogs, but at drop off she allowed us to meet her dogs which was really nice and gave us a lot of reassurance. They were so sweet and super friendly. He ended up having a blast playing with them through out the week. He also came home super happy and smelling good. I would recommend for anyone’s dog sitting or boarding needs! We will definitely be using her again.”
“I would definitely recommend Megaan for anyone and their fur babies. Meagan‘s communication was top-tier and she provided us with a picture of our boy every day. We felt extremely safe leaving him with her. Meagan was very attentive to any instructions that we left. We definitely plan to rebook with her in the future.”

We will def be using Wendy in the future. 10/10 recommend!!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about wonderful Michele! Our anxious Shih Tzu can be very nervous around new people and changes in routine, but from the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, kindness, and understanding. She took the time to make Charlie feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and it truly made all the difference. We received updates, photos, and reassurance while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. It is clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with anxious pets!”

He was communicative and flexible to our needs and we felt so confidence that our dogs were being well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using him again in the future, and give him our highest recommendation!”
“Danielle was amazing! Every time I checked up on how my golden was doing she would provide me with either a picture or a video. Definitely would recommend.”
“Michelle is a true professional. She took as great care of me as she did my pup. It was my first time boarding Toshi and last minute at that. The tons of pics and videos that Michelle sent, helped reassure this momma that her pup was in great hands. I couldn't be happier with Toshi's care. I would highly recommend Michelle and will be using her in the future!”
“Cassandra and Tradd we're just Amazing with my Mac! I was so nervous leaving him for the first time with someone I didn't know, but that quickly changed after I met them and their little pack of cuties! Mac had the best time being spoiled, cuddled, and loved by their family! I will definitely be calling on them again and again! ❤️”
“Nancy was simply wonderful! Her home is perfect for dogs, with a “they can sleep anywhere” policy suitable for any couch potato like ours! She has her own well behaved dogs who were friendly and very undisturbed by the arrival of our guy. He was happy as a clam with her and I am rebooking him immediately for our next trip.”

I’m so grateful that he was able to watch my dog on short notice! He was incredibly accommodating and made the whole process so easy. He is also a great communicator and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate his flexibility, reliability, and care. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter!
She was very accommodating with our last-minute booking and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Finny looked like he had such a great time! She also sent us photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. Best of all, he came home happy and clean unlike our experience with a previous sitter. We would happily book with her again!
Blaine was very responsive when I scheduled. We met and he was very personable and easy with the dog. we took him to his home as we felt comfortable with him. His house is quiet and calm which we really appreciated. Blaine was very loving with our dog He sent us one picture when he calmed down. we were not interrupted on vacation, but he did response promptly to my text. I will absolutely allow him to sit for us again. Our dog has definitely decided he likes Blaine and bonded.
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.
I highly recommend this dog sitter! He took excellent care of my dog and treated them like family. I received updates, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. He was reliable, caring, and professional. I will definitely use his services again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
Jaycee was great! As he took great care of my 8 yr. old pup. At the last minute, I needed a sitter and she responded quickly. She was strategic in introducing my pup to hers. She cared for her like her own, provided updates and photos. You can tell she's a true pet lover. I recommend Jaycee for your pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Norfolk on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,055 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Norfolk. About 94% 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 VA 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.
