“Lauryn is a sweet, caring individual. I couldn't have asked for someone better!! She loved my girls and treated them like her own!! I got pictures and videos every day, which set my heart at ease. I will definitely use her again!! 🥰”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”
“My golden retriever Oakley always has the best time! Amanda & Scott send lots of updates and it feels like Oakley is part of the family during his visits.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Pet Sitter! Rodney did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our baby, Lucille! He sent us daily updates and pictures and stayed in constant communication, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We were especially impressed by how quickly he bonded with our four-legged fur baby and how well he cared for her. We couldn't recommend Rodney more highly and will absolutely use him again. Thank you, Rodney!”
“Brandy is always wonderful with Asha and Kip. They had a great time decorating eggs and playing games - the cuddles and care can't be beat! It's the best experience boarding with Brandy!”
“Alex watched my husky for about 2 weeks and I love her! She has a husky he could bond with, he was allowed on furniture and taken outside frequently, she sent me photos, and was quick to respond when I’d check in. The best part was getting him home to find he was completely fine. He wasn’t stressed, clingy, dirty, injured, malnourished, scared, or different. He was exactly how I left him, which means she took care of my dog exactly how I do and treated him with love.”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
“Elisabeth did a fantastic job taking care of our older dog. She does a great job communicating and gave us daily updates. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Elisabeth!”
“We are so happy our dog was with Robin during our getaway! She was nicely cared for and happy to be around her two pups. Robin is a very responsible pet caregiver, we highly recommend her services!”
“This was Pitch's first stay with anyone he did not already know (he is almost 10!) and Tara was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for how well she cared for him! We have already committed to her watching him again.”
“I had a great experience with Kacie over spring break! She was very communicative, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“We boarded our cockapoo with Jared for 6 nights. Our dog loves people and is very interactive and playful, with high energy, so we wanted a sitter who would be good with him. Jared turned out to be a good match. He was easy going and attentive to Griffin’s needs. Jared communicated with us well and sent pictures of Griffin almost daily to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Jared and will book another stay for Griffin in the future.”
“We came to VA to bring our son to college, the furbaby was slightly in the way (please don’t tell him I said that!)…so, I contacted Tyrah and she responded immediately and was willing to take our baby with short notice. Tyrah was an absolute god send. She was so polite, her place is super clean— I think my baby came back cleaner than I left him! lol… She sent me daily pictures of my baby settling in just fine with her. He came back mild mannered with his lover boy cuddly personality (usually he comes back from sitters pretty rowdy and jumpy), but not this time. I honestly couldn’t tell he had been away. As much as I want to keep Tyrah a secret (and take her back to GA with me), I’ll tell y’all how great she is and what an amazing gem you have in the Hampton area! She truly was the best! She did everything I asked and more. I appreciate her a million times over and will contact her whenever we’re in town! I will definitely share my amazing find with the Hampton U parents who stay home due to not being able to get a local sitter. Thank you, Tyrah!! 💕”
“Erin and the family were great. I needed a sitter for Lyla on short notice and fortunately they were available. The day I picked Lyla up, she slept most of the rest of the day. I took that as a sign that she had a fun time. I would book them again if I have another occasion.”
“Heather is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She got our dog to take medication after we had been struggling to give it to him. We never have to worry when we leave Rico and Silky with her. We know they are in good hands. Heather will always be our first pick.”
“Thank you again Cassandra ! As always she provide such a caring and loving environment for my pup. Great communication and always lovely pictures from her. I can take a breather knowing my pup is in amazing hands”
“What a God send! Janeen is such a kind and caring individual with obvious patience and compassion. She asked all kinds of follow up questions to make sure kitty would be as comfortable as possible in his home away from home. Janeen was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the day every day. The family even moved some items around to allow kitty to climb on and around freely. I wish I lived closer to this wonderful family as I would 100% use their services again. They were thoughtfully accommodating knowing we were already away from home on vacation and even made some suggestions for local activities my family and I could visit. Do not scroll pass this couples profile I highly recommend this home for your pet baby needs.”
“Cody was fantastic with our two dogs! She watched them for two days and one night, and we couldn't have been happier with her service. She was extremely professional, friendly, and communicated clearly with us throughout the stay. She was even able to accommodate a last-minute schedule change without any hassle. Despite it being a short visit, she made sure to send photo updates and check-ins on how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend Cody and would definitely hire her again!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sarah is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $34 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Sarah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sarah 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 Sarah.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sarah. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sarah 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
