“Connie was great as usual! Bryson has stayed with her several times now and each time he’s having fun and being loved on. I appreciate that Connie and her family were able to accommodate my unexpected flight delay and keeping Bryson longer than I initially planned.”
“Our pup Neptune had a great time with Amber this weekend! She was accommodating, despite only booking days before I needed her, and squeezed in a meet and great to ensure it was the right fit for us both. She was very informative and sent many pictures and videos of our little guy enjoying time with his new buddies. My son thoroughly enjoyed the updates and videos as his missed his puppy. We can’t say enough great things about the decision to use Amber and alleviate the worry about our guy while we were time zones away. I’ve already began checking into booking Amber again for our next adventures.”
“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”
“He was great, very accommodating and even would’ve kept our pups another day due to a storm we were coming back in. Highly recommend, with lots of land for the pups!”
“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.”
“Tracey took very good care of our sweet pea she called her diva and that name is so fitting. She is so kind, sweet and very knowledgeable of pet care. When I ever go out of town I will always want her to take care of my furry family. I recommend Tracey to any one that needs boarding pet care, you will love her too!”
“If you want your dog to feel like a part of the family, be socialized, and get tons of play time definitely book with Julie. She took great care of my dog and did an amazing job at sending updates of her. Will definitely book again.”
“Linda and her family did an excellent job taking care of our pup Wesley. She sent me the cutest pictures and Wesley seemed to be living his best life. So grateful to have found a wonderful pet sitter. I highly recommend trusting Linda with your pet. We will book again!”
“She is the best! We've found a couple of sitters on Rover but we will look no further. Our doggy, Rylie, is safe at her house, comfortable, and is in such pleasant spirits when he stays with her. We know he's safe and feels loved when he's in her care. Bonus: Eldeen has such a warm personality and is friendly not only to the doggy but also, the family. I'm so grateful that we found her. Thank you.”
“Jorge and his family took great care of our dog Mishka. They have a wonderful back yard for a dog to run around in, and they made our dog feel right at home. We'd be very happy to have her stay with them again!”
“Tiffany is truly the BEST! She really is my dog’s second mama. He loves her and gets excited to see her and spend time with her family. She’s very present with her communication and always makes sure I’m in the loop. I get regular photos and videos of my pup which puts my mind at ease. If you are looking for someone 100% trustworthy to look after your fur baby, Tiffany is your person!! I’ve been looking working with her for over 3 years now.”
“I just want to say Laurie did a great job with our fur baby. Gunner is 8 months old and full of energy so we were worried about leaving him with just any one, but we did meet Laurie first and her dog and our dog got along great so we left of baby in her hands for almost a week. Laurie sent videos and pictures and did everything we asked of her and more. We found a great sitter and our puppy found a new friend!🐶. Thank you Laurie!!!”
“My husband and I had a great experience with Sarah and Jacob. They watch our two boys for over a week and they were great at making us feel at ease while we were on vacation. Sarah was texting us updates, photos and videos of our babies through out the entire time they were there. We will definitely be booking with them in the future. Thank you again for watching our babies. 🐾”
“Hannah was amazing!!! So kind and patient with our little pup. She was always available to communicate with us of any status updates. Highly recommend her! She is awesome!”
“Thank you so much Matisa for keeping my dogs for me. Thanks for the daily updates and pictures of the boys. They returned home safely and they are so relaxed and not so talkative 😂. Best person I ever let to keep my boys. Thanks again.”
“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“From the moment I met Kathryn and her family during the meet and greet for my two pups, I knew they were in the best hands. The warm and welcoming environment they provided instantly put me at ease, and I could see how much they genuinely cared for animals. Throughout the dog sitting services, Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Her dedication and love for animals truly shone through in everything she did. I am so pleased/grateful for Kathryn's exceptional care and will definitely be utilizing her services again. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone seeking a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Kathryn!”
“Christopher was pleasant to work with through scheduling and boarding. He was flexible and met my needs well even though they were a bit complicated. During my pet’s stay he sent photos and updated me on her well being. Overall great sitter! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
Vickie did an excellent job taking care of our 6-year-old Lab! She was attentive, responsive, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. We appreciated her communication and felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Vickie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,028 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.
