“Mich was awesome! Our dog felt welcomed and comfortable during her stay. Mich’s dog, Milo, was a good companion/ host. Great back yard. Mich sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“Kingsley had a fantastic stay at Matt's place. Matt updated us often with photos and details of his attitude and comportment, and it was clear our dog was having fun. He seemed to get a good mix of play and rest time and we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be back!”
“From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾”
“First time leaving our Bella (for a 10 day vacay) so anxiety was through the roof with just the thought of leaving her. After meeting Cyndi I knew I found the perfect person and WOW did she ever exceed my expectations. Cyndi is so easy to worth it and”
“Ciara was great- she sent pictures the whole time we were gone and Liv didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up! And to make it even better Liv was exhausted and slept all day so we could unpack and settle in when we got home!”
“Peyton was wonderful - super responsive and agreed to watch my dog VERY last minute. I was anxious about leaving Ember because she typically has separation anxiety but she did great and Peyton sent updates and pictures the entire time I was gone. Great first experience with Rover and Peyton!”
“Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.”
“I am very pleased with the service I received from Miguel, he kept me up dated with the dogs everyday. The were happy and treated very well. I will use him for any further trips I take. Thank you for such a great job 👍”
“According to my dog, Raye is top tier when it comes to hospitality. He's already asked to return to her home that's full of love and tasty treats. Thanks again for taking care of Rocco.”
“Damacia was excellent to work with. We met her a few days before we left on vacation. Very clean and well behaved other pups. Nice environment for our younger pup. She updated us through the time Maggie spent there and was great about meeting us to pick her up. We would highly recommend Damacia for your pet sitting needs!”
“They took great care of our large dog and followed extra care precautions he needed. We were never worried as we got a picture daily with an update. Thanks again and we will use you again soon!!”
“My pom pom loves it there,loves the attention and playtime. I literally had to drag her away and pick my pom up. I choose to just use her,if she’s available.”
“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”
“Grateful to have found Aaren and Jordon. I felt comfortable trusting our boy with them the moment we met. We appreciated the great communication and the pictures/updates we received during Apollo‘s stay. Plus he got plenty of walking in so we know he loved that. Will be rebooking when that time comes. Thanks guys!”
“Abby saved the day for us, she welcomed our fur baby in with open arms and even though he can be quite a handful she held her own! I would highly recommend Abby to anyone who wants a personal touch with the right amount of professionalism. Abby knew what she was doing and put any apprehensions we may had completely to rest! If I could rate her higher than 5 stars I would - looking forward to using her services in the future. Thank you!!!!”
“Kendra is the best! Yasha loves her and Gizmo and lights up whenever I tell her she is going to see them. She is personable and treats my baby like her own!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sandston
This is our first time having Alexandria watch our dogs. My older dog can't see or hear much anymore and I get a little over whelmed at the thought of someone else watching my dogs. She was fantastic I got photos and updates and my dogs looked very comfortable with her. I will absolutely use Alexandria again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandston on Rover is $49.95 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 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 July 2026, there are 799 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sandston. 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.
95% of Sandston 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 Sandston 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 Sandston 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 Sandston.
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 Sandston 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 VA 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.
