“Hands down my sweet old lady pup was spoiled rotten! I had no worries at all and got the sweetest videos and photos while we were out of town. I would 100% want my pup to be cared for by Lauryn and her family. If she is available-book her. Totally worth it!”
“Shanae was so sweet and reassuring. She made sure to communicate with me everyday and sent pictures/videos. My big boy was comfy and had so much fun at her home with Ash!”
“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”
“We have trusted our buddy with she and her family multiple times and he always comes back with a smile on his face. Love the pics and videos we get; they’re awesome for sharing with family. We definitely recommend.”
“This was Elisabeth’s second time looking after Cowboy! I just want to repeat how amazing & kind she is. I also appreciate her wonderful children for loving and also caring for my Cowboy! Please book with Elisabeth, she provides pictures & updates, & is anticipatory towards what you need! Expect your pet to be cared for as if it were her own pet! You will ABSOLUTELY not be disappointed. Thank you again Elisabeth, I’ll bring Cowboy by soon again for another appointment 🫶🏼”
“Koa LOVES it here. He's an only pup so he liked having other dogs there too play with. They are very attentive and make sure every body plays nice. He came home happy.”
“Monica was outstanding! She was so kind, and cared for my Frenchie like she was one of her own. She sent me pictures and a little update almost everyday, and I'm almost certain my fur baby wasnt ready to come home lol She also gave her a bath and a pawpicure before she brought her home, which was a real treat and bonus! I would defn trust Monica again to watch my Nina:)”
“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!! 💕”
“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.”
“Melissa and Jeremy are pet sitters extraordinaire! We have an elderly dog who has lots of quirks and needed extra help with exercise and diet. Melissa really paid attention to both our dog’s needs and our anxiety over leaving her with them. We got constant feedback, updates, pictures and short videos keeping us updated. Was very supportive and even gave us a workable suggestion for getting our Princess to take her meds. I wish I could give them 10 stars!”
“I will definitely use Tashaun again. Very professional and toke good care of my dog. I could tell he was very attentive and he also sent me pictures through out the day of my pup, so I felt very reassured and informed. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I found my dog sitter.”
“Kamie and Patrick are the absolute best! We got the most amazing updates — both written, video, and photos— and the amount of love and attention Apollo got was absolutely heartwarming. We really appreciated everything they did to make Apollo feel loved while we were away ❤️”
“Cassandra was the best dog sitter we have had. She took such great care of our sweet Bella. She is amazing with communication, always letting me know how Bella was doing. One amazing touch was she did a painting of our sweet pup that passed away right before our trip. Beautiful and so incredible.”
“Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️”
“Amanda was amazing with Ruby! She kept me updated every single day with sweet photos and regular check-ins. Ruby had a wonderful stay, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!”
About: I have 13 years of experience with both cats and dogs, from overnight boarding at my home to drop-in visits in yours. I value communication and make sure you stay updated while your pets receive loving care! I’m currently working part-time, and my shifts are only 3 hours, so your dog will never go long without a potty break. I can do dog walking and drop-in care anytime after 12:30 p.m. on weekdays. We have a pet-friendly home. I have my 9-year-old daughter as well as my dog, a mini poodle. We also have a fenced in backyard. I live in a neighborhood for military housing that has plenty of space for walking and various parks.
“Hannah communicated promptly from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is genuinely kind and clearly a true dog lover. She kept me updated with videos and pictures, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. When my dog was missing us and feeling a bit anxious, she lay down with him on the sofa to help calm him. She even took him on a morning walk without being asked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her anytime.”
“Jakorey took excellent care of my dog when I went out of town. He sent me several pictures of him, walked him and played with him. I would take my dog to Jakorey again. Thank you.”

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 of Dog Boarding in Poquoson is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $63 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,027 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Poquoson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Poquoson home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
