“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very pleased. A'Lauren was so informative while I was away. I will definitely use her again!!! This left my mind at ease!!!”
“Monica was great with my baby boy! She has a beautiful home and took very good care of him for a week! She was flexible with me and sent regular updates. Elliot loved playing with her two dogs!”
“Crystal was very patient and caring with Justice. She provided consistent updates throughout his stay and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable boarding with her.”
“Catherine was great!! It was clear to me how much she loves dogs and how comfortable my pup was with her and her family. I always get a little nervous leaving Sully when I travel but I was put at ease with multiple photos and text updates from Catherine. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“Maeghan was amazing with Frida (our baby) her whole family took wonderful care of her for four days. She played and had a wonderful time. We will definitely be asking for Maeghan services again! Thanks so very much!”
“With a sudden family emergency we were worried leaving our pets. Rover is a great app with great people, we loved the picture updates from Kim and how wonderful she was! Understanding, passionate, and professional. We will be contacting Kim again in the future if we ever need another sitter!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough positive things about Cassandra. She was wonderfully communicative and took excellent care of our dog Reagan. Reagan (42lb mutt) is a nervous/anxious dog with some behavioral issues but they made her feel so at home and loved and expertly navigated her eccentricities . Will definitely have her stay here again!”
“Amazing definitely the best experience I’ve had with using rover. The updates and photos I received were amazing. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. Definitely will rebook, you guys came through in a pinch… Thank you so much 😊”
“Nancy was a great match for Macy. Macy is our pampered pet and she did well with Nancy. She had other doggie friends to play with. Nancy did a good job of keeping us informed and sending pictures. Macy usually won't eat well when traveling and she even managed to get her to eat. She has a nice fenced yard so the dogs can have room to play but also welcomes them into her home. I would definitely let Nancy keep Macy again if we are in the area.”
“Melanie is amazing! Not only does she provide photos throughout the day, but she is genuinely interested in your pet’s health and happiness. She made a great recommendation to help get our pup back to eating, after struggling for months to eat regularly. I highly recommend!”
“Erica is AMAZING!! I have a reactive dog and this was my first time boarding him. I was never comfortable leaving him because of his reactivity. Erica knew just how to handle him, even introduced him to her dogs with no reaction from him. She put all of my concerns at ease, answered all my questions and even treated a minor ear infection. She is honestly just the best, I think my dogs are upset they had to come home :)”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Quick to help out on a short notice and understands the quick pace of military life. Very helpful, great with our dogs and would trust her with our animals again.”

Magie took such good care of our girl, Oreo, while we were on vacation. She was attentive the whole time and kept us updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. It was obvious Oreo felt more than comfortable with her and her family she looked right at home. I’m genuinely grateful for the way they treated her. We’ll definitely book with Magie again.
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

There are 1,038 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Poquoson. About 94% of Poquoson 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.

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.

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.
