“Amazing!! Our doodle loves going to Kellie’s to hangout with her doodle and her kiddos. She does a great job accommodating and keeping us updated with pics. We’ve used her twice now and will continue to do so!”
“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!”
“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😊”
“Tory was fantastic! She was available for us for a last minute stay and made time for a meet & greet before our Luna’s stay with her. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. Most importantly, I felt like she really cared about how Luna was doing and that she had a positive experience. Highly recommend and plan to book again in the future!”
“Sidney was great. She sent updates a few times and pictures which was so appreciated. Maggie was a bit Leary about the hardwood floors someone’s put down rugs. She was an excellent sitter and highly recommend”
“Luna enjoyed her stay with Sandra!! I felt at ease knowing that Luna was in her care. I feel like she cared and loved Luna as if she was one of her own. Thanks again!! I will definitely have Sandra watch our dog again, she came home tired and happy:)”
“It was our first time boarding our dog and we were quite anxious, but Lisa did an outstanding job with our boy Archie. Archie has a lot of energy and loves to be outside, and Lisa met his needs. He did a lot of running and playing with other dogs. It was a perfect spot for him to be happy and comfortable. Lisa sent many pictures and a video during the 3 days Archie was there, and that really put our minds at ease. We would absolutely use Lisa again. Thank you so much Lisa!”
“Kristen was wonderful with our girl Annie. This was our 1st time using Rover and boarding her in a private home. She was so much more rested and less stressed than the previous kennel we had used. Kristen kept us informed with pictures and updates. We will definitely book with her again.”
“My 6 year old pitty mix stayed 7 days with Laura and Joe while I was away on vacation. I couldn’t have been more happy with the great loving care they provided for my dog. Laura sent frequent photos and updates daily to let me know my girl was enjoying her stay. Huge fenced yard to run and play ball. And lots of cuddles on the couch. I love that Laura only sits one pet family at a time. I highly recommend Laura and her husband Joe and will definitely contact her again when in need for a sitter for my girl.”
“Amy is great! She took very good care of Simba and kept us informed with pictures and videos during his stay. Simba enjoyed his time playing with Woody and we will definitely be a returning client!”
“Miranda was amazing and both Lucy (Australian Shepherd) and Sadie (Shitzu) came home after boarding with her happy and very well cared for! We received pictures and updates from Miranda while our pups were with her, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you to Miranda for going above and beyond and treating our pups like they were your own!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Shree and her dog Zusa. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with all the update videos and great communication. Our dogs were treated as if they were parts of her family. Definitely recommend Shree!”
“Olive had another wonderful stay with Cynthia! We so appreciate the care, love, and attention she gets when she stays with Cynthia. On top of being the absolute best dog sitter, Cynthia takes amazing pictures. Our whole family looks forward to receiving our daily photos of Olive.”
“Bailey was great with our dog! She came home very happy and healthy. Bailey was great about communicating with us and sent us pictures while we were gone! We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Lindsay is amazing!!! I hate having to find new dog sitters because both of my dogs suffer from severe anxiety. One of my fur babies is so scared of people that he will actually throw up from the anxiety of being around new people! Lindsay was comfortable around him during our meet and greet and knew exactly how to handle his little personality. I felt comfortable dropping them off for their stay later that weekend. We are now repeat customers and Lindsay continues to go above and beyond with their care. She not only became one of their favorite people, but mine too!”
“A C was able to accommodate my last minute request to watch Obie and they sent pictures and took really good care of him while we were away. Will definitely book again with them!”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“Kristen took great care of Toffee while I was away for a few days! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I didn't have to worry about Toffee at all!”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 699 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.
