“Eleni and her family were amazing!! I left Louis with them for a month and then another week. He came back very happy and was happy to see them when I dropped him off a second time. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I know I can trust Eleni to watch Louis whenever needed!”
“Falen was very flexible and accommodating at the last minute. She really came to the rescue and my dogs felt very safe and garnered a lot of love and attention during their stay. The communication was superb and top-notch. Thank you Falen!”
“Alycia and Elijah were amazing! Fluff had such a great time with them and even made a new friend, Remus! They were both incredibly sweet, caring, and accommodating with our schedule. We really appreciated how well they took care of Fluff and would absolutely recommend them!”
“Katie was more than amazing! I have left our Doberman, Roxy, at various kennels, and other Rover sitters, but Roxy would seem anxious or would get sick after I picked her up from those places. Not with Katie! I felt that our furry friend was with family. It was clear that our naturally anxious dog has made a friend. She seemed happy and content and although she was excited to see me, she was not anxious or rushing to leave Katie's place. Katie sent many pictures and videos and it was clear that Roxy was being treated like Katie's own dog. I will be using Katie again. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Our dogs loved being at John and Stephanie's home. They were so well cared for and the communication about how they were doing while we were away was terrific. Thank you so much.”
“Jennifer was very attentive to my sweet puppy and flexible with pick up/drop off times. She is very professional and prepared for the job. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“We could not be happier with Katie...she sent daily texts and updates of all the fun things they were doing with Guinness and her family seemed to genuinely enjoy having him which is the best you can ask for when you're not there to take care of your pet yourself. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Merry was such a great pet sitter ! It was my 1 st time using rover.com and i didn’t know what to exspect so I messaged a few peoeple and Merry was the 1 st to respond with in minutes. It was a last Minute trip. She was able to watch my German Shepard that same day I messaged her ! She was very caring and knowledgeable about dogs . My 1 1/2 year old German Shepard went right up to her with out any problems, he instantly felt the love ! Thankyou again Marry”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on animal experience, I've built a life around caring for pets of all kinds - and it shows the moment your fur baby walks through my door. I currently share my property with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so your pet will be welcomed into a real animal home - complete with a couple acres to roam and a fully fenced yard. This isn't an apartment sit; this is country living for your pet. I'm an approved foster with two local rescue organizations and have been actively fostering for 7+ years across multiple groups. That experience means I'm highly skilled at managing pack dynamics, introducing new animals smoothly, and keeping every pet calm, safe, and comfortable - even in a full house. I've personally housebroken and trained all of my own animals, and I'm happy to reinforce any commands or routines your pet already knows. I'm also fully comfortable administering medications and adapting care for pets with special needs - just let me know what your pet requires and I'll make it work. Your pet isn't just a booking to me. They're a guest in a home where animals truly come first. Animal care isn't something I fit into my day - it IS my day. Because I work from home, I'm on the property and present with the animals throughout the day, every day. My routine naturally revolves around morning and evening feeding rounds for my own cats, dogs, and horses, which means your pet slots right into an already structured, consistent care schedule - not an afterthought squeezed between other commitments. During the day your pet will have regular check-ins, outdoor time in a fenced yard, and plenty of company - both human and animal. If your dog needs an extra walk, or your pet needs medication administered on a specific schedule, I'm here and available to make that happen. For me, adding a boarding guest isn't a disruption - it's just one more animal who gets to experience a home where care and routine are already deeply built in. When your pet comes to my home, they're stepping into a fully functioning animal household. From the moment they arrive, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow your pet's lead and never force interaction with my own animals until everyone is comfortable. With 7+ years of fostering experience, introductions and pack dynamics are something I handle carefully and confidently. Your dog will have the opportunity to socialize and play with my four friendly dogs (after appropriate intros are made) - making their stay feel less like boarding and more like a playdate. For social dogs, it's honestly the highlight of the visit! During their stay, pets can expect: - Structured feeding times aligned with your pet's normal schedule and diet - Outdoor time in our securely fenced yard and rural acreage throughout the day - Plenty of human interaction since I work from home and am present all day - Medications or special care administered exactly as instructed - Reinforcement of existing commands and routines so nothing slips while you're away I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My home is their home - and around here, animals always come first.
“This was our first experience with Cheyenne. She & her family are lovely people. They have an amazing fenced in backyard that our dogs thoroughly enjoyed. They were understanding and provided the dog bowls that I forgot to provide for our dogs thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely ask them to care for our pets the next time we have to be out of town.”
“Maddie is amazing! She sent regular updates and pictures and asked clarifying questions to understand my pup and his needs. She genuinely cares and loves on your pet and went above and beyond! I am fully comfortable trusting my Milo with Maddie again. Thank you SO MUCH, Maddie!”
“Kasalyn was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of Addyson and Addyson had a great time. Kasalyn was very kind, made me feel comfortable and eased my mind about leaving my baby. She also send lots of awesome pictures and updates. Thanks for all you did Kasalyn😊”
“If I could give six stars, I would. My pup stayed with Hillary and family for 5 days and I have never had a less stressful boarding experience. Hillary let my pup have time to get used to the property and meet the family before I left. She made space for my dog and her dog to eat separately. The farm and home are beautiful and well maintained. She sent pictures daily showing my pup out and about and enjoying fun experiences. I think my pup thought she was at some farm resort for dogs. Will call Hillary first anytime I need a place for my pup to be safe and happy when I travel.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Powhatan is $40

We do like daily check in's with pics of Remo’s interactions with other dogs but I admit I did fail to mention that to Alliyah. It was fine, my dog was fine and was well taken care of, but I'd mention it to anyone booking a long trip, just so you know to set expectations upfront. Everything else was great and I would absolutely book again with Alliyah.
Eleni and her family were amazing!! I left Louis with them for a month and then another week. He came back very happy and was happy to see them when I dropped him off a second time. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I know I can trust Eleni to watch Louis whenever needed!
It is such a relief to find someone to take care of my Posey with as much love and care as I do. Wendy is amazing and considerate. She takes the time to pre-meet and understand any key behaviors and needs. Her home is safe and secure and she allowed for the right space for Posey to feel comfortable. My girl is a little shy but she warmed up with Wendy and I know she felt secure with her. I would have no issue with Wendy watching her again. Added bonus that I received plenty of pictures of Posey relaxing or snuggling while I was gone. Wendy is A+!!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
