“Kristen was able to take care of Minnie last minute and I’m so grateful. She took good care of all of her needs and she got lots of snuggles. Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet Minnie.”
“Candace was a great sitter! Her parents were helpful as well. Cassie was in good hands and was well taken care of. We were so thankful they accommodated us picking up Cassie after our evening flight.”
“Angela was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog Bailey while we were away. We received lots of pictures and frequent updates. Great communication. Angela was very flexible and helpful! We certainly hope to work with her again! Thank you!”
“Amanda and her family treated my pup like he was their own. He barely even wanted to leave. She had constant communication and sent photos which made me feel good about my fur baby. I will definitely continue to use her while we live in the Penhook area.”
“Pat took amazing care of our 2 dogs! She took the time to make them comfortable in her home, sent us pictures and updates throughout the week, and gave them plenty of love and attention!”
“My Buster loves visiting Sherry and her family, and always comes home exhausted. That tells me he had a lot of fun. It is pretty obvious from photos that Sherry spoils him during his stay, and I love that.”
“Asausha is amazing. My pup had some separation anxiety and had several accidents. Asausha was patient with him and made adjustments to make his stay more comfortable. Very professional and really is a dog LOVER! Book her today!”
“We were in Callaway, VA for a wedding and we left our pup with Maribel and her family for the day while we attended the event. Leading up to our trip, Maribel put me at ease with fast and professional communication and flexibility when our drop-off time changed. During the visit, Maribel shared awesome pictures of our pooch in action. Upon pickup, pup was all smiles and tail wags. It is evident that Maribel and her family treat your pet like their own during boarding. We were able to attend the wedding worry-free, knowing that Dante was in great hands. I HIGHLY recommend Maribel for your pet sitting needs.”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter while I was away on my trip. Leaving my dog is never easy, but she made the entire process feel so comfortable and stress-free. She was very communicative, kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear my dog was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she cares for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Our dog stayed with Jessica just two nights but had a great time! We loved that she was able to play with other dogs in a nice, fenced area during her stay. We travel to the area twice a year and will definitely consider Jessica again!”
“Kayleigh and her children treated my dog like he was one of theirs .Communication was great she gave me updates to help my anxiety as well . Zeus came back home with out a cough which was definitely a plus for me . I will definitely be going to her again”
“This was my first time boarding my Aussie, and I was honestly a bit nervous — but she did an amazing job reassuring me from the start. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, which I really appreciated. I was especially worried because she has three dogs, and my Aussie can get a little overwhelmed. But she handled introductions perfectly — slow, one at a time — and my dog adjusted way better than I expected. Fast forward to pickup time… I think my dog may have forgotten who I am Not only was she completely comfortable, but she had already decided that the husband was her human now (and she normally reserves that level of love for my own husband). At one point, he was petting one of his own dogs, and mine started whining like, “Excuse me?? That’s MY attention.” The jealousy was very real. So overall: ✅ Great communication and reassurance ✅ Thoughtful, safe dog introductions ✅ Happy, well-adjusted pup ❗ Slight risk your dog will try to move in permanently Would absolutely book again — just emotionally preparing myself for the betrayal next time”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and taking care of them. My family has a poodle, a great Pyrenees and 10 cats which we all rescued from the streets. I work everyday 6 am to 3/4 pm, but as soon as I get off work I can come and spend the rest of the day playing with your loved ones. I treat my pets like gold and like the princess and princes that they are and would love to give the same care to yours. I am clean and responsible so you can have peace of mind while away that your pets are in the best possible hands.
“Thank you Terry for taking care of my furbaby. Anyone looking for a great sitter should really consider Terry, my pup was wagging her tail and as happy as she could be when I arrived to pick her up and in talking with Terry I felt great about leaving my pup with her for the trip I took and will be scheduling with her in the future.”
About: I’ve cat and dog sat for people throughout the years. I love all animals and provide them with all the necessary care and love they need. I work 2 nights and 1 full day a week and home taking care of my own 2 dogs the rest of the time taking them out to the dog park throughout the day to potty. I have stayed at another clients home to take care of her dog and did drop in visits throughout the day for other people. I live in an apartment and don’t have a yard but there is a big dog park. I have 2 crates for my dogs or for another dog while under my care if they need to be.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Spencer on Rover is $40 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 160 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Spencer. 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.
93% of Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer.
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 Spencer 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.
