“Our senior dog absolutely loves staying at Rowena’s place. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how well and how happy Mango was during his stay. Rowena kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It truly reassured us knowing our dog was being so well cared for. If you are looking for a dog sitter in Richmond area, she is the one!”

“Amanda took care of Bella Rose for 12 days. It is the first time for my dog to be separated from us. Amanda is a very sweet lady, her house is squeaky clean and her kids great. Bella had a great time with her. I loved that she sent me lots of pics/videos while Bella was with her. Bella had some accidents while being there that Amanda managed very well. I highly recommend her.”
“Ara was FANTASTIC! From the many videos and photos Ara shared of Penny, it was clear she felt at home and had a great time. I 100% recommend Ara as a loving and professional pet sitter- I was so happy to find her as an option to leaving Penny at a kennel.”

It is obvious to see that she and her husband are genuine dog lovers and showered him with love and affection. We cannot recommend her enough and we will be using her again in the future. In fact I am just about to see if she is available for our vacation in May!”
“Beatriz was Amazzzzziiiiiinnnnnngggggggggggg!!!!! I am new to this state and have never left my pups with anyone I don’t know, so this was a hard process for me mentally and emotionally considering 1 of my pups has dealt with some pretty bad trauma. Beatriz made this the best process which became the least of my worries, she sent consistent picture/video updates which I was very happy with and pleased to see my babies were happy and enjoying themselves. She is also a quick responder so my nerves never had to wander! I can’t thank her enough for all that she does and we will definitely be a return client of hers 🤎”

“Mrs. Patricia was wonderful with my babies! She communicated well and sent plenty of pics of Bella and Achilles enjoying themselves. She took them on daily walks which they loved. Her home is set up perfectly pet safe & she even managed to keep my little runner (Bella) contained. I highly recommend her. She will love your babies as if they are her own! I will most definitely be requesting her again on our next trip.”
“Mona was a great sitter! My senior dog requires pills in the morning and evening, and Mona was very accommodating. She was also consistent in providing updates at least once per day with photos. It was a great experience, and I would be happy to have Mona as a sitter again!”
“She took such great care of my pup, making sure he felt comfortable and right at home even while away from me. He came back completely exhausted in the best way possible from all the fun he had, and now he’s getting some well-deserved rest. I was also so grateful for the photo updates she sent along the way to keep my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I need a sitter”
“I cannot thank Neel and his family enough for the incredible care they gave him. From the moment he arrived, they welcomed him like family and made him feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. Milo can have anxiety in new environments, and they handled it with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. This allowed Milo to feel completely comfortable and relaxed while I was away. They kept me updated every single day with photos and videos. Seeing Milo and Sydney playing together was the highlight of my day while I was away! Seeing how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Milo was made it so clear that he was not just being watched, but genuinely cared for and loved. This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. They went above and beyond in every way possible, and I never once worried about Milo while he was with them. I am beyond grateful for the love, attention, and dedication they showed him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of Milo. I am so thankful to have found you and would trust you again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“Andrea was an amazing dog sitter. I had to find someone to watch my older anxious dog quickly. Andrea quickly responded and was quick to respond to any questions. Brinley stayed with her Sat to Thursday. Andrea sent text updates, video, and photos. Andrea had all Brinley’s items washed upon pick up and, and even helped me load in the car. The process was smooth and Brinley was happy and healthy!”
“Lacey is home away from home for my Ollie! She treats your dog as if they are family and Yorkies are particular and she is kind and understanding like a second mama. Love the pictures and videos that are sent everyday. Felt like I was never away from him. I will definitely choose her again and again.”
“I stumbled onto Rover by accident and was excited to see A sitter so close to home. After reading all the great reviews on Chassidy I booked a week stay for my dog. I'm always a little nervous going somewhere for the first since I never know how my Boston terrier is going to get along with other dogs. He did ok. I think this is largely due to the care he received with Chassidy. She took great care of him and sent daily pics showing him playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Chassidy to care for your pet like its her own. ”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
We had a great experience with Erin! She provided daily updates and sent pictures every day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog boarder.
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. 🐾✨
My girls are always so happy to see Ms. Pat and stay with her and while they are glad to see me when I pick them up they always seem like they would be happy to stay longer. Ms. Pat did an incredible job accommodating changes to their feeding schedule and walk schedule in the middle of the visit and communicated all changes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmond on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,546 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.
