“Omaira and Isaac were absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They took such great care of our six-year-old Frenchie and our seven-month-old Doberman for five days, and we couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were patient, attentive, and clearly very comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and needs. We received great updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in loving, capable hands. Both dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during their stay. We are so grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend Omaira and Isaac to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitters. We would absolutely book with them again!”
“Shanae did amazing with Yuki. This was my first time trying Rover and she made it an easy experience. Yuki absolutely loved his stay and will be back (he even left his bed at her house). Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”
“Cheyanne did a great job of taking care of Betty White while we were on vacation! She sent pictures on a daily basis to show us how she was doing and also gave her a couple of baths while she was there because she got muddy in the backyard. She was also very kind and bought her a new dog bed because the one that we sent got very muddy one day.”
“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
“Excellent service she treats pets the way great owners treat theirs. Provided daily updates for the week while I was away for work. Cannot recommend enough and also Elsa likes to get stinky by breed nature but smelled great on arrival so that was nice also.”
“Lora was amazing! I knew our pup was in great hands. She was very professional and always kept us updated. She sent many pictures of our puppy and it looked like our dog was having a blast! Would highly recommend Lora and would book her again 🤗”
“Tavonne was an incredible sitter for our Canelita! She gave us regular updates on how our little one settled into her new environment and sent pictures so we would see realtime how Canela made other furry friends. I highly recommend Tavonne’s services to put you at ease during your next out of town trip!”
“Thank you so much Erica is awesome bronx second visit was a success I can tell he enjoyed. Erica responds fast and sent me tons of pics while I was away making me feel at ease my boy is in good care see ya next time”
“Emily is the best! She is so kind and caring. My dog is very loved while in her presence and i can tell she has the genuine heart for animals! highly recommend! 10/10!”
“Cristen and family were amazing! Wish we had found them before. They took very good care of Asher while we were at our daughter’s graduation. We didn’t have to worry about Asher at all. Wonderful family!”
“Aurelia was amazing with our girl! She was so wonderful and took such incredible care of our pup while we were out of town for Christmas. Even when our pup got herself in a bit of trouble, Aurelia was gracious and caring. We got pictures and reports throughout, and our dog was as happy as could be! We are so grateful for the care Aurelie and her family gave our dog!”
“Elisabeth, thank you for caring for Juno! You sent great photos throughout the week and I felt very comfortable knowing he was having a good time at home with you and your family. Thank you so much!”
“Jeff and family are fantastic! Brooke has visited twice now and already feels right at home. She loves her playmates and is always excited to go back. We’re so happy to have found such a great place for her”
“Constance was excellent and very patience with Blake. She followed his scheduled feeding routine, administrated his medicine, and was willing to learn how to administrate his Insulin injections. I was very impressed on how professional she was. She gave me a daily update on how things was going, as well as, providing pictures. That reassured me and definitely put my mind to rest. I would definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
“Rizalle is an angel! She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog feels comfortable, safe and loved. She sends frequent updates and pictures to ease our minds. Our dog loves staying with Rizalle and her family, and I know she gets all the attention and love she needs. Thank you, Rizalle!❤️”

Rover Review Maggie and her family were absolutely amazing with my baby boy, Reaper! ❤️ He came home tired, happy, and I could genuinely tell that he was loved and well taken care of while he was there. The communication and updates were fantastic, and I truly didn’t have a worry in the world while he was with them. I’m hoping Reaper gets the chance to visit one more time before we move because I know he’d be in great hands again. 🐾❤️ I would recommend Maggie and her family in a heartbeat! 15 stars out of 10 stars if Rover would let me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Abbi and her husband (and their adorable daughter) took our request last minute for boarding and our dogs had a great time! She was prompt to respond when I had questions and was very flexible on pickup/drop off times. I would definitely use her services again! 10/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Poquoson on Rover is $37.45 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 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 September 2026, there are 1,044 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Poquoson. 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 Poquoson 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 Poquoson 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 Poquoson 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 Poquoson.
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 Poquoson 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.
