Yuki loved running around her huge fenced in backyard with her dog and now his friend, Ash. She treated Yuki as if he were her own and for that I couldn't recommend her more!”

About: == RELIABLE DOG WALKING & DROP-INS ==== Thank you for stopping by! If you’re looking for dependable, structured care for your dog before work or after your day winds down — you’re in the right place. ⸻ == ABOUT ME == I’m an active duty Coast Guard member based in the Hampton Roads area and a lifelong dog owner of many different breeds from Whippet to Doberman. Discipline, punctuality, and accountability are built into my daily life — and that same standard carries into how I care for your dog. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. My goal is simple: • Show up on time • Communicate clearly • Keep your dog safe • Respect your property No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just reliable service. ⸻ == SERVICE HOURS == Due to my military schedule, I offer visits during the following windows: • Morning visits: Before 7:00 AM • Evening visits: After 4:00 PM These time blocks are ideal for: • Early duty days • Long work shifts • Evening coverage • Weekend flexibility If you need something slightly outside those windows, message me and I’ll see what I can accommodate. ⸻ == SERVICES OFFERED == 🐕 Dog Walking Great for dogs who need structured exercise before you leave for the day or after work. Walks include: • Controlled leash walk • Potty break • Water refresh • Quick behavior notes • Photo update Safety always comes first — I avoid unnecessary risks and keep walks structured and controlled. ⸻ 🏠 Drop-In Visits Perfect for: • Feeding visits • Potty breaks • Crate time • Medication administration • Playtime • Quick wellness checks Each visit includes a summary and photos so you know your dog is taken care of. ⸻ 💩 Backyard Cleanup (Add-On or Standalone) I also offer backyard waste cleanup services to keep your yard clean and usable.

Armonee was great, communicative, and sweet. I had a last minute booking and she was willing to work with my schedule. My doggie came back home happy. Her mom was also there and I could tell that she was also with the dogs. Great overall.

Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Suffolk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Suffolk is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Suffolk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Suffolk can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Suffolk home-away-from-home, 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 Suffolk.

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 Suffolk 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 , 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 .

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.
