What an amazing experience! The communication and coordination for drop off/during boarding/pick up was all incredible. They were super flexible in my schedule and very responsive. They even made sure to keep me updated on Lucy during her stay with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby girl and would rebook all over again! She came back a happy pup 🥰

Traci was incredible! She was loving and caring to our golden girl and gave daily updates. She made sure my dog was comfortable and understood my dog's needs. Most importantly, I felt confident my dog was being taken care of in a safe home. Would not hesitate to book with Traci again

We used Amber and she was very communicative, sent pictures and videos and told me about Mia’s day. We don’t use a sitter often do there was some transition but overall it was a great experience.

Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.

Eldeen and her family make my dog, Ruben, feel like he has a second home. I know that when I leave him in their care that he will be taken care of like he’s at home. From the first meet and greet, Eldeen and her family, have made sure that I was comfortable leaving Ruben in their care. They are my go to sitter for Ruben.

I love Audree. She is so patient with my Lyric. Lyric is a diva already and such a lovable little puppy. I hate leaving her to go anywhere and this is our second time using Audree and I feel so comfortable leaving Lyric with her. She constantly updated me and sent lots of pictures. She is definitely our go to sitter. Thank you again Audree!

Laurie took excellent care of our dogs and sent us videos and pictures of them playing with her other canine guests. We recommend her highly and hope we will get to use Laurie again in the future. The dogs had a much better experience with her than the local kennel prison we were using. Thanks Laurie!

She made him feel at home and made me feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of in a safe and happy environment! This was my first time boarding him and I absolutely will be calling her in the future! 10/10!

She is caring which totally was a relief for me to know that Misty was in good hands. Thanks you so very much for the care you provided for Misty.

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.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Audree gave to my dog! Being new to the area, I needed to find a place to board my dog Saucy, who had only ever stayed with friends or family when I’d gone out of town. Audree made Saucy feel right at home. She also sent multiple pics and videos to me while I was away. And, she was very accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend Audree!

We cannot recommend Lindsey enough! She has been absolutely amazing with our dog Soju and has provided exceptional care every step of the way. Our dog is a large, strong breed, and she has always handled him with confidence, patience, and genuine affection. One of our favorite things was receiving her regular photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for he was while we were away. She has also been an incredible resource since he was a puppy, offering helpful advice, guidance, and support that has made a real difference. It's clear that she truly loves and understands dogs, and we always felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring sitter. We are moving and will truly miss having her as part of our dog's life. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her care for their furry family member!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Stafford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stafford on Rover is $44.4 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 2,054 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.

94% 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.
