“truly cannot describe how great of an experience we had with carlos! everyday we were provided with extensive updates and photos, and I was immediately at ease knowing that akiak was in good hands and enjoying himself with the other dogs. we encountered some problems at drop off and pick up, but carlos was super understanding and helpful - would recommend to anyone and everyone! thank you so much again!”
“Sophie and Austin did an AMAZING job caring for our pups. We felt a peace of mind throughout our trip thanks to frequent pics/videos and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Jona was absolutely wonderful with our skittish pupper and high energy herder. She was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable, which we really appreciated. We received frequent updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our doggos in good hands. Communication was excellent; she was always quick to respond and super easy to coordinate with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Great stay for our two dogs. We went away for one night and our dogs had a great time. They were well taken care of and had their own space to rest and play in the yard. There were other dogs there so they got some play in as well. Would definitely use again.”
“Coco spent a week with Ann and Richard. I was updated with pictures and notes each day. They have a lovely backyard yard and Coco looked like he had a fabulous time. I enjoyed my own trip even more knowing Coco was so well cared for. I will definitely rebook with Ann and Richard again!! Thanks so so much!!”
“David and his family did a great job with our puppy, Dobby. In fact I would say that we got Dobby back better trained and socialized than when he was dropped off for 2 weeks. Thanks for all the attention.”
“We've had various dog sitters and left our pup at a kennel several times. Sidnei is, by far, the best option. She was attentive to our dog, patient when he growled at her sweet dog Rio and tried to eat his food 😬, and very communicative with us. She sent lots of pictures and replied right away via text. We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Had a fantastic experience! From the very first message, they were responsive, friendly, and professional. They took excellent care of our dog Cubbie, sending regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“We were able to have a great trip, knowing Lucy was so well taken care of. We got updates every day, and it was a relief to see she was enjoying her own “vacation.” Lindsay is wonderful!!!”
“Michelle was amazing!! We had a family emergency where we needed a dog sitter ASAP. Michelle was very responsive and promptly accepted our request with open arms with no hesitation. Michelle and family were very welcoming! During our doggo’s stay, Michelle updated me constantly with adorable pictures and videos of the ample play and generous green space that Blaze enjoyed at Michelle’s property!! Blaze made plenty of friends and had a blast. Thank you Michelle and family!”
“Our dog Bear stayed with them to get familiar ahead of his upcoming stay, and they kindly offered to host him for an extra day. I received plenty of photos and updates throughout. Their home is very well set up for dogs—just like they described. One room is converted into a fenced dog space, and they also have a fenced yard. Bear looked relaxed, happy, and right at home. He clearly enjoyed all the love and attention from Megha, Irene, and their family. I highly recommend them!”
“Veronica made it easy! Simple, flexible drop off and pick up. Easy to find location in a quiet neighborhood. Our dog came home after 4 days where he was clearly happy to be with people and other dogs.”
“Stacy and her family were awesome! They took really good care of our fur babies. Communication was great, we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Jaxson and Kobe got all of the love, attention and belly rubs, they felt right at home.”

Carlos was wonderful with our 14 year old beagle-bassett, providing great care and keeping us updated with many pictures. He is very caring and maintains a positive environment for his dogs, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely go back and highly recommend Carlos to others in the Northern VA area.
We had a great experience with Alyssa, and our pup seemed to really enjoy their time together. Alyssa was always great with communication and care, and was extra nice when our doggo developed an ear infection while staying with her - even texting us to see if there was anything that she could do before we got back to pick her up. We would not hesitate to have our dog stay with her again.
Joanna was wonderful with our 80lb dog! She sent pictures and messages daily with updates and was quick to respond if I sent her a message. My dog came home happy and tired! Will definitely refer Joanna to our friends and will definitely rebook with her in the future! Thank you!!
This is Ato's first time stay with Amanda and he absolutely loved staying with her. Not only did Amanda updated me with daily pictures and comments, but she also accommodated Ato's every need. Ato is a very shy dog, but the fact that he allowed Amanda to give him belly rubs says it all. I will definitely have Amanda in mind whenever I need a dogsitter in the future.
Sarah was great with Ace and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated and made me feel confident that Ace was happy and well taken care of! I would definitely recommend Sarah and would be happy to book with her again!
We left our 5yo partially blind pug with Fabiola for almost two weeks and she took great care of him. She was very good about providing multiple photo/video updates throughout the boarding so we got to see how much fun he was having. Despite not being familiar with this heat-sensitive breed, she was diligent about following his routine schedule & medicated eye drops we provided. We’re grateful we were able to find such a caring pet sitter. We picked up a healthy and happy pup and will be using her again. Highly recommend!
I am so thankful for the abundance of amazing energy that LuLu received during her stay. Constant communication, updates, photos, warm greeting, questions and care at drop off, were all apart of our first experience. I will surely rebook and be a returning satisfied customer.
Jackie asked a lot of questions during the meet-and-greet to make sure we were the right fit and she had as much information as possible to meet Gretel's needs. Jackie was communicative and flexible, which made things easy. I could tell from the pictures that Gretel really integrated into the family. Gretel was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. That's not always true after a trip, so I take it as a huge compliment to Jackie for making her feel welcome.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Springfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Springfield on Rover is $61.05 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 7,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Springfield. 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 Springfield 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 Springfield 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 Springfield 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 Springfield.
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 Springfield 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.
