“Angie and her family took good care of my parent's dog, Murphy. She sent daily photos of the dog and shared some of their activities. Angie was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book her again to care for Murphy. I highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Lisa is my first Rover sitter and she was amazing! She kept me updated every day with super cute pictures of River and I was able to see how happy he was in her home. She has a really nice and spacious set up for dogs to run around which River truly enjoyed.”
“Our first time using Rover was with Tory and we had a really nice experience! Tory was super nice and kept sending us pictures at least 3 times a day of na’vi. Our dog clearly enjoyed her time staying with Tory. We will definitely ask Tory again to take care of na’vi for any future event. We definitely recommend her!!!”
“Bailey is AMAZING!!!! My son and I went on vacation, it was my first time ever going without my pups, and I was so nervous. Bailey set up a meet and greet so we could meet her before. Then while we were gone she sent me messages letting me know how they were doing and pics! It helped me so much to enjoy my time away! She definitely went above and beyond caring for my pups and myself! I would recommend to to everyone!”
“Lindsey was amazing! I was worried about my senior shizhu being around big dogs. If he was uncomfortable she brought him in with her. My other dog is terrified of fireworks and she made a comfortable bed for him to lay in. And made him as comfortable as she possibly could. She constantly sent me updates with pics and any concerns she may have had. The pics she sent me showed my babies having a great time. She is the best. She is sweet, caring, and really takes the best care of them. I will from now on bring my babies to her when we go away. She treats your furbabies as her own. Thank you so much Lindsey”
“We booked last minute and she accepted. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby. He really enjoyed the stay there. She sent pictures and videos to update us. She went above and beyond when zizi wasnt eating. She communicated and made us feel at ease. I would recommend her very professional 👌 our dog had fun. We will book her again. Thanks Rachael for taking care of zizi😊”
“Sandra is loving and caring with our Sammy. She is very good about sending updates, walking him and playing with him. She has watched Sammy several times and he loves her. Sammy is always content and happy when we pick him up.”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Our family is so grateful to have found Kellie to watch our dog. He was well cared for and we enjoyed the daily pic Kellie sent us while away on vacation. It is reassuring to know our dog has a safe and loving place to stay when needed. Thank you, Kellie!”
“The BEST pet sitter!! She takes the best care of my fur baby even with his tummy issues & fussy eating & makes me feel so comfortable leaving him there. He’s always so happy when we get there and when I pick him up I can tell he’s had a blast playing with her pups!! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Samantha and Zachary are awesome. Unfortunately it was a last minute trip but they set up the meet and greet right away and right away I knew it was the right choice. Loved getting the pics and videos and I would highly recommend them. Plan on using them again.”
“Cynthia was a true gem and lifesaver when she helped us out when we were really in a pinch. House painter chaos, odors and noises became just too much for the two dogs and we humans even ended up at hotel (but no dogs allowed). Cynthia was able to really step in and provide wonderful care with lots of love for Buster and Bette. Trusting, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, excellent communicator, dog lover extraordinaire… that’s Cynthia.”
“Tracey made my pup feel at home and so welcomed! She is also about safety and ensuring the utmost care, just like it was her own pup. She sent updates in videos that reassured me of how my pup did during her very first overnight stay. Thankful to have booked with Tracey as it is evident that she has a lot of experience and love in caring for fur babies.”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“I have used her boarding service twice or thrice now and she is amazing and very cooperative and flexible .I consider myself to be one of those who asks too many questions and lots of updates through out the day and she is happy to do that . Flexible in scheduling or changing dates and flexible timings for pickup. She is one of the best on this app. Definitely recommended!”
“Monica is a perfect for boarding or watching your fur baby! She administers simple meds and sends photo updates. We left our fur baby with her for 16 days and was able to do that feeling confident that Mazie was getting care just like she would at home. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our Mazie Mae! We will definitely be rebooking soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Molly is the best human, truly kindness personified! That kindness shines through in the way she cares for our dogs while we’re away. She gives them exceptional attention, loves on them endlessly, and spoils them just the right amount (because really, can you ever spoil them too much?). We couldn’t recommend Molly more highly to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets like family

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond on Rover is $44.4 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 692 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richmond. 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.
93% of Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond.
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 Richmond 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 MI 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.
