“My baby Bishop was so happy and well taken care of by Kristina. She sent me pics of him everyday showing me how well he was doing. This was my first time leaving my baby with someone other than family and I think I have found his new family. I fell confident that when I travel Kristina will be my choice to leave my baby with.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m very pleased with the service. I really appreciated that the sitter took the time to meet with me in advance and made my little one feel so special. The daily check-ins were such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend and will be using Rover again in the future!”
“Ruth was beyond helpful accommodating my ever changing schedule and was very easy to work with. She sent photos every couple of hours of my pups which was greatly appreciated. They had the best time!”
“We have loved having our dog stay with Marisa a few times already this year. She is loving and attentive and very communicative! She sends pictures and messages, I'm so glad we found her!”
“Amanda is wonderful! Having her take care of Bon Jovi and our grand-pup Clooney allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Communication was excellent and Jovi was clearly having fun in a safe environment. Being amongst other small to medium size dogs is ideal.”
“Patricia was a great caregiver for our Dante. She was very kind and loving and very accesible to meet Dante’s needs. She texted at least 2 times a day with pictures and descriptions of their activities. Dante really enjoyed his time with her and we felt secure that he was in a safe place. Thank Patricia and we definitely would use her services again. Highly recommended!”

“Alison is amazing. She took such great care of our baby Perseus (Percy) on his very first time with a sitter. She kept us updated the whole time and sent us pictures which we absolutely loved. She even accommodated us for pickup time which was we are beyond grateful for. We will definitely hire Alison again to care for Percy in the future.”
“Mona took excellent care of Sage for me for 2 weeks. This was the first time for Sage to stay with Mona but it will definitely not be the last! I will contact Rover and Mona next time I plan on being away from home.”
“After watching all the videos Ara sent me, I was afraid my dogs wouldn't want to come home... they were having a ball! Her home is lovely with a large backyard and I felt as though my babies were at summer camp. I couldn't have been happier!”
“Vicki was so helpful and accommodating during the time she took care of my 1 year old Rattie, Max. She kept us up to date and sent pictures regularly which made my time away from my precious fur baby much easier knowing he was happy and well cared for. Would definitely rebook again whenever needed. Very kind and sweet sitter; highly recommend! :)”
“Exceptional! Sir whined after I picked him up for the second time which means he really loved being there. Britteny is very responsive, checks in, and so helpful. I can’t say enough great things.”

I would definitely use their services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
This is the first time we have ever used Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our pup. Shaobi was so good with our pup and her daily pics and videos reassured us that she was in good hands. I highly recommend using Shaobi for anyone wanting a great and caring petsitter. We will definitely be using her again.
I had an exceptional experience with Me Ara From the moment we arrived, it was clear our pet would be in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received regular updates that gave me peace of mind. Her home was very clean and well-maintained, which made me feel even more comfortable. She also have a huge yard, perfect for exercise and playtime. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the attention, patience, and love shown throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Ms Ara to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for their pet. 🐾✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond on Rover is $33.3 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 2,518 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.
94% 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 TX 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.
