“Alejandro and his family were wonderful sitters for our golden retriever puppy while we had a two-night stay out of town. We went for a meet & greet prior and I could see immediately that our sometimes-timid puppy was comfortable and happy in their house. I felt she was very well looked after and Alejandro sent numerous photos and updates throughout the weekend, including videos from the many walks they took her on. Alejandro has three lovely children who help with the dog-sitting - I am sure my puppy enjoyed the extra attention and cuddles! Our dog has returned home her usual happy self and it is clear she was well looked after and cared for. Would not hesitate to book Alejandro again, and can confidently recommend his services to anyone else.”
“Gina was AMAZING! Great communication, quick response for availability, flexible and helped with updating trip plans. We had a meet and greet in public & instantly felt comfortable! She and family are so welcoming and I truly felt my pups were away on vacation as well lol. Received loads of photo and video updates with the cutest messages from our pups’ pov 🥰. We will definitely be a regular customer ! Please give her a try, you won’t regret it!”
“Bo was absolutely incredible! My dog stayed with him for over a week, and I couldn't have asked for better care. He stuck to a strict feeding schedule made sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime, and even gave her a bath so she came home smelling fresh. The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!"”
“Kelly took care of our dog while we were out of town and she was FANTASTIC! She provided us with daily photos and quick updates which we loved receiving. Our pup had a wonderful time playing with all the new friends she made at Kelly's house :) Kelly was also very flexible as our travel plans kept changing due to flight issues and delays and she was so accommodating and friendly and absolutely okay with all the unexpected changes to our ability to pick up. We are so thankful to have found her and recommend her to everyone. Thank you Kelly!!!”
“We tried Janna for the first time reading all the reviews and surely everything went just perfect. She and her husband looked after my pet cat Mitten so nicely and made him feel home. I had regular pictures and updates from Janna and you could clearly see Mitten having a comfortable time there with her. In past Mitten always lost some weight, not this time, maybe gained a good pound or so in a healthy way. We'll definitely use Janna's services and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet boarding.”
“Angela is amazing! She was professional, friendly & truly loved my dog like her own. She shared pics, a video & walked my lil sweetie! I'm very fortunate to have found her & would recommend her to anyone.”
“I’m so happy to find someone who can take care of my chihuahua so well! I was out of country for 10 days and they updated me with pictures and made sure my baby was taken care of. Iggy was so happy and so was I.”
“Daniel and Kristy were awesome! They took great care of our two golden retrievers for a couple weeks while we were out of town. Communication was great, and they sent us pictures of the doggies every day we were gone, which we really appreciated! We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them and will definitely reach out to them the next time!”
“I’m SO thankful for the care of my babies!! I got daily check ins with pictures and access to communication. I was super nervous using the Rover app for my first time, but this was an amazing experience!!”
“10/10 sitters! Not only did they help me out by coming to pick up my boy, they also sent tons of pictures!! Scooby was well cared for and happy 💜 I will definitely be rebooking next time I need help!”
About: I have over 18 years of experience a both owning and fostering for dogs, from many breeds, Chihuahua to German Shepherds, from puppies to older pups. I’ve also been through several obedience trainings and have experience administering medication. I work from home and will be at home every day, so dogs can be uncrated for most of the day if needed. We can walk, feed and play as their schedule needs. I have a fully fenced yard as well for extended outdoor time. There’s a dog park with a lake very close by if that’s an environment your dog would be comfortable in.
“Chassidy and her family did a wonderful job with my two furbabies! I've never let them stay with someone I did not know before and was a little anxious, but I got updates and pictures all during my trip and saw them having fun and being well taken care of. I will definitely use Chassidy again. ”
“Shang made boarding very easy. He communicated very well and was always quick to reply and sent me pictures. My dog had a great time at his house and playing with Shang’s dogs. Would definitely board Charles with him again.”
“Penelope, Franco and their kids have taken my Remi into their home and made her part of their family. Whenever I leave her with them so we can go away, I can really relax because I know Remi is with a wonderful, loving family”
“Cinnabun loves staying with Eva and Kallven! They take great care of her and send multiple pictures and videos while she is with them. They are absolutely GREAT!”
“Hillaury was amazing! She took a good care of my dog while we were away. She kept us updated with picture and helpful messages. My dog, Cat has a good time and enjoyed her vacation with Hillaury. Thank you very much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond
Brittney was amazing with our Toy poodle Prince, for 3 days while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with pics and made sure he was safe, fed, and loved the whole time. You can tell she really cares about what she is doing. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. 100% recommend her and will absolutely use her again. Thank Brittney.
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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Richmond on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,574 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Richmond. About 91% of Richmond sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
