Julie was extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions I had. We'll absolutely be bringing our pup back!”
“Laurie was exceptionally welcoming to Bruce! Got endless photos and updates and was very happy to see Bruce having an excellent time! Additionally Laurie was extremely accommodating as weekend plans had to be extended due to flight delays and such getting back into the local area. Laurie is very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone as it is for certain your pet will be well taken care of.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Kristina was great! First of all I had some uncertainties in my travel plans that she was understanding about as I worked through the final dates/times. She shared pictures and videos during my dog’s stay. I could see he was comfortable there and having fun. Buster was well taken care of and I would book with Kristina again.”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“Prince had a ball with Ligia. I was nervous at first since Prince is so hyper and acts agreesive towards people and other animals but she put me at ease. Thank you so much”
“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Christopher for 4.5 days, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism. From the moment I dropped Titus off, I felt at ease knowing he was in capable hands. Overall, I highly recommend Christopher to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog care. We’re grateful for the wonderful care Titus received and will definitely book again.”
“Arranging for boarding, drop-off and pick. Up was very clear and simple. They were flexible when our drop-off time changed. Rebeca & Roman and her mom made the process very easy. A daily picture let us know that our boy was settled. When they noticed something concerning they reached out to us. Highly recommend.”

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!
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.
