“So grateful to Tamara for watching my pup on very short notice (I went into labor three weeks early) and as always Kai had a great stay! It made our lives easier knowing he was in good hands, and we appreciate that she also provided transportation for him home.”
“Our Buddy was so well taken care of for his first time away from home! Erin sent us pics and updates throughout his stay. I thoroughly trust our fur baby in Erin’s care and would use her again!”
“Another great day with Tara! My little guy was well taking care of and Tara kept great contact and sent plenty of updates and pictures. We already have another stay on the books with her!”
“My dog had such a great visit with Barbara and her family. Excellent care and communication throughout her stay. At times it looked like she was having more fun than I was!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Leslie provided for our dog, Siku, over the 9 days we were away. From the very beginning, Leslie was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease leaving Siku in her care. Throughout our trip, Leslie kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Siku was not only well cared for, but also happy and comfortable. When we returned, Siku was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given lots of attention and love. Leslie truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter—and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Maki and Joel and their family took great care of Ragnar. They treated him as part of the family and that really made me feel comfortable. I can’t thank and recommend them enough!”
“Always amazing! Lots of photos and videos and very communicative. I was running behind for my scheduled pickup and she was extremely understanding. Eun is my go to sitter! And she's SO sweet.”
“Lori is amazing! She was very responsive to all of our questions during the booking process and took such great care of our dog, Juniper while we were away. This was the first time leaving Juniper with a sitter, so we weren't sure how she would adjust, but we were put at ease right away. Lori took the time to show us around and tell us about how the dogs spend their day in her care. She regularly sent us pictures and updates on how Juniper was doing and we were happy to see what a great time our dog was having. Can't imagine leaving her anywhere else when we go out of town again in the future. Thank you again, Lori!”
“Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.”
“Deborah and her daughter were fantastic! Our pup felt so comfortable and right at home with them. It was as if she were going on her own vacation while my family and I went on ours. They communicated so well with us and sent us frequent updates on how Pepper was doing and her adventures. Would 100% book again!”
“I was very impressed with Jaime and Mike and will definitely be calling them again! My golden retriever was 'Living her best Life" there! She enjoys being around people at all times and was welcomed in the home as one of their own! I love to find other people that love dogs and takes care of them as if they are one of the famiiy! Loved seeing pictures of her fitting right in with her daughter who obviously loves dogs as well! Thank you so much!!”
“James and Iryna have taken care of our boy Ziggy several times and it’s a painless, stress-free experience every time. They’re reliable and fantastic with our anxious Ziggy. We’re so lucky to have found them!”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Liane took excellent care of my dog! Junie was right at home from the moment she met Liane and her family. I received many updates and pictures throughout Junie's stay and Liane always responded promptly if I had a question.”
“Valerie was absolutely outstanding! We received daily photos of our 4-legged son and he had the time of his life! We will definitely be scheduling with Valerie in the future - complete peace of mind. 🙂”
“We had a wonderful experience with Helen watching our energetic maltipoo, Yuki! Yuki is full of energy and loves lots of attention, and Helen handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to keep them happy and engaged. Yuki came home relaxed and content, which says a lot! We really appreciated the updates and photos during the stay—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Helen for anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter for their pup!!”
“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”
“It is obvious that Christina is extremely experienced with watching all kinds of dogs. My Vizsla Jelly can be a anxious little freak but Christina handled her personality with ease. Thanks so much Christina!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Unison
Opi and Pia are usually so stressed and tired when they come home from boarding or hanging out with other dogs. That was not the case at all coming back from Kristen’s place. They were able to relax in her home either her senior pups as well. I wish we found her sooner!
My dog Rosie was well taken care of. Tamara picked her up from my home and cared for her overnight. I immediately felt at ease as soon as I met Tamara. She sent me pictures of Rosie playing with her dogs, really enjoying herself. Rosie was a happy pup when I picked her up the next day. I would highly recommend Tamara and will be using her again in the future!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Unison is $65 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $72 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Unison 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 Unison 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 Unison.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Unison. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Unison 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
