Dog Boarding in Phoebus, Hampton, VA

“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”

“I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.”

“Brandy and her family are amazing and took care of Mabel like she was their own. They baked cookies for her and made a Christmas ornament with her for the holidays. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Tera was an awesome sitter! She shared daily photos that my family truly enjoyed! She was also very flexible with my travel schedule. I knew my puppy was in good hands.”

“Very satisfied with Sunny's stay with Jeff. I was reluctant to leave my precious girl with anyone other than family but Jeff sent pictures and assured me that Sunny was doing OK. I intend to leave Sunny with the Syvias during my future travels.”

“Tavonne did a great job taking care of my puppy while out of town. She sent pictures, videos and text to assure us that our dog was not only safe but happy. It made us feel confident that she was in great hands”

“Mary took great(!) care of my puppy with special needs. I felt extremely comfortable going on a business trip knowing he was under her care. Being a dog who needs extra attention in many different ways, it can be stressful but I feel she managed extremely well. She went above and beyond and even made Him some special little treats!”

“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.”

“Wonderful sitter! My cat Daisy stayed with her and I am so grateful for her kind consideration of my cat’s unique personality and needs. Daily check ins helped with missing my girl and I loved getting pics seeing she was doing well. Our family had peace of mind during our vacation and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for everything! 🥰”

“Nieshea was fantastic with my two pups. She was very professional, courteous, and helpful with sending updates and video while I was on vacation. We will definitely utilize her services in the future when we go on trips. Highly recommend!”

“Timerra did an amazing job when she kept my baby. She communicated and sent pictures while I was away and we found that to be very sweet. My pup was not wanting to eat her dog food and Timerra offered to feed her some fruits so she wasn’t hungry. I will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

“I'm very grateful for Sierra's excellent care of our dog Speedy! Speedy stayed with her for 11 days and I was given updates, pictures, and videos. She also bought Speedy food when he ran out and gave him a bath before I picked him up. This extra care was so kind and not expected! I will be very comfortable having her watch Speedy again. It looked like Speedy enjoyed her fenced in backyard and dog pals! He was also allowed to lounge on her couch just like he does at our house. Sierra was very kind and great to communicate with. Thank you Sierra! :)”

“Cassandra was amazing with our pups! A short stay but they loved her and had the best time! She sent two daily updates with pictures and videos and responded to any question I asked in between. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her services again in the future!! ❤️”

“Rebekah and her husband took very good care of my Reyna. They have a nice size yard for her to run around. I also like that they had dogs to keep her company. I appreciated the daily updates with pics. They are very patient and easy going”

“Lilly was wonderful with our pup Buttons. She and her family doted on Buttons. She listened to all her special needs and behavior, then made the adjustments for her stay.”

“Krystal was the top recommendation for our area and I didn’t hesitate to look further into booking with her. My big boy is a handful and I was happy to hear that he got along great with her dogs. She kept me updated with how he was doing and sending photos throughout his stay. We will definitely be using her again for our next trip out of town. She was a dream to work with. Thank you so much, Krystal!”

“This was my very first time booking on Rover and it was great! Richard is awesome, he kept me updated with pictures throughout the day. I was a bit nervous being that he was going to be keeping my pup overnight but he made me feel so comfortable and reassured me that she was in good hands, & she sure was! I am definitely booking again I loved how when I came to pick my pup up him and his grandmother came out to greet me was the sweetest thing! My pup Aya enjoyed them as much as they did her♥️”

“iliyah was amazing. She was easy to work with. Very much responsive, friendly, and on time. She was certainly a blessing and I definitely use her again when im visiting. Thanks iliyah.”

“Kim took such great care of my Bella! She updated me frequently and even sent pictures. She was dog sitting other dogs too which made Bella feel more comfortable. I definitely will hire Kim again for my dog sitting needs.”

“I’ve known Emma for a couple of years now, and when she’s caring for my dog, I feel completely at ease. That says a lot coming from me—I’m very selective about who I trust with my pets. But with Emma, I have complete confidence. She’s calm, patient, and her genuine love for animals is apparent. Emma is dependable and communicates consistently. She sends regular updates with photos and videos, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s also provided drop-in care for my cat and has never missed a visit. I can always count on her to show up and follow through with every detail, and send an update after each visit. She makes sure my dog gets plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s long walks or playtime in her yard. Her own dog is sweet and playful, and the two of them get along beautifully. They love chasing each other around and wrestling, which is always a joy to see. I’ve relied Emma with both short visits and extended stays, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and truly cares for your pets as if they were her own, Emma is that person.”
