“Audree is amazing! She's kind and clearly loves pets. Before our visit, Audree asked key questions as she wanted to understand our needs and the needs of our pup. She sent photos and videos of our pup throughout her visit. When it was time to pick up, Audree had our pup packed up, ready to go and the BONUS was that our pup smelled AMAZING at pick up! :) I would highly recommend Audree to anyone looking for a safe, secure environment for their pets.”
“My two hound dogs had an amazing overnight stay with Connie! Communication was great from before I booked through the entirety of the stay. I received so many pictures at multiple times throughout the day, and I appreciated the peace of mind they brought me. One of my dogs is a newer rescue, and she can be afraid of new people and men. Connie was very understanding and gentle with her. I knew my girls were happy, so I could relax more on my trip. My dogs slept for two days straight after they stayed with Connie. They were so tired from all the yard/dog play outside! Connie actually lives on my street, so I’m incredibly happy to have found someone so kind and reliable for all my future pet sitting needs. She went out of her way to accommodate me and my dogs while I was away. I’m happy to have such a great neighbor and pet sitter!”
“Jorge and his family are extremely responsible, attentive, truly loving and caring to my 2 fur babies. Jorge communicates daily with pics and texts about the dogs. The 4 yr old OES GoldenDoodle has incredible time for play and activity. The 14 yr old Yorkie is provided with extra snuggle and cuddle time as he is not a social dog. My dogs are happy and comfortable at their home. Jorge and his family are truly delighted to receive and to care for them. I sooo elated that my fur babies are safe and well taken care of. Thank you and your family for your honorable passion of animals. I highly recommend this awesome family!!”
“Ben & Ariel were absolutely wonderful with Mishka! We’ve used several sitters this year, and this was the first time she came home so clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely well loved. That alone means everything to us. They kept her active with plenty of walks, gave us terrific updates, and sent lots of photos so we always knew how she was doing. It was obvious they weren’t just watching her—they really cared for her and made her feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will 1000% book with Ben & Ariel again and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️🐾”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”
“Awesome! I absolutely hate leaving my Remy behind, especially when he has to be locked up in a kennel. I usually get such anxiety, but not with Eldeen, her husband Eugene and their kids. I was able to relax knowing that he was able to roam and play freely. Remy seemed pleased with his stay. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”
“Vickie did a great job taking care of my dog, Rocky! A friend was supposed to dog-sit for me but fell through the night before I was going out of town. This was my first time trying Rover, and I was lucky to find Vickie. She responded quickly to all of my messages, from my initial request all the way through Rocky’s stay. Rocky was comfortable there and was clearly happy when I picked him up. He especially enjoyed having a nice fenced-in yard to run around in. I will definitely contact Vickie again when I travel!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Amber’s care for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive and provided me with frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amber made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!”
“Stephanie was amazing. My dog takes a few days to adjust to a new home and she was very understanding and patient. She communicated really well. I would definitely recommend her”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Brisket. Brisket is very high energy puppy who can be a handful. He had so much fun staying with you (even if he did develop a new addiction to tennis balls!)”
“Tina did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town. She regularly checked in and if I messaged her she was prompted in response. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“They are great people. They were very understanding with my circumstances. Lola loved it. She was even sitter home sick lol when she came home. Lola love playing and being with the other dogs.”
“Linda took wonderful care of my dog, Max, this past weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that Linda genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She kept me updated, made sure Max was comfortable and well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked him up, Max was happy, relaxed, and clearly had received plenty of attention and affection. It's not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Linda made the entire experience stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the loving care she provided. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Max again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Linda, and your family, for taking such great care of Max!”
“Omg! Hannah is the sweetest! This is the first time my family has used ROVER and we were blessed to find Hannah! We didnt just choose Hannah.. she in return chose us! She loved and cared for our fur children as if they were her own! She was so considerate for our wants and needs for our furbabies and in the end I just wanted for both her and our furbabies to just enjoy each other's company during their stay with her. We honestly could have not been any more lucky to have found Hannah.. as a person she is just a sweetheart. Everyone please keep in mind that we cannot expect for our furbabies caregivers to provide to our furchuldren the exact way we do at home but I can guarantee Hannah will try (and probably succeed) and give your babies love and care that anyone would hope a pet to receive. Thank you Hannah for being you!”

I needed a last minute sitter in Stafford and did not want to leave my puppy at a big dog boarding facility or the vet where pets are often left alone. Thankfully, Vickie got back to me right away, and I’m so glad she did! She has a beautiful fenced-in yard tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where Penny was able to run around freely and even got to socialize with another dog she was boarding. Vickie quickly responded to me whenever I reached out to check on Penny and took excellent care of her, even reaching out to me to confirm her feeding routine. It was wonderful being able to go about my busy weekend knowing my puppy would be cared for by such a responsible and experienced sitter. Penny absolutely loved staying with Vickie, and when I am in need of a sitter again, she will be the one I call!
Couldn’t be happier with Jorge and his family for taking awesome care of my pups. I received pictures videos and communication while away which put my mind at ease. The pups seemed to really love them and were happy puppies while I was gone. I would definitely book with Jorge again. Thank you.
Ben & Ariel were absolutely wonderful with Mishka! We’ve used several sitters this year, and this was the first time she came home so clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely well loved.

Alice was Professional and so kind! She assured us that our dog would be ok and took great care of her during our stay away. We don't usually have our dog stay with someone she doesn't know so this was a bit of a new experience for us. I would definitely recommend Alice for the future.
Very sweet and responsive. She was able to keep our fur baby at the last minute. Sent us photos to keep us updated. She kept her clean and my girl was not nervous when she left. Unlike our experience when she has stayed in large kennel facilities. Couldn’t be happier.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stafford on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,035 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stafford. 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 Stafford 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 Stafford 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 Stafford 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 Stafford.
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 Stafford 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.
