“Christie has been nothing less than absolutely wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute change that added an additional four days to our pups’ stay at her home. She’s simply the best and we 100% will utilize her services again ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.”
“Ben and Shannon were amazing! They sent me updates and pictures and treated my dogs like their own! My dogs were truly loved and I will be using them again in the future!”
“Chelsea was great! Excellent communication and a wonderful new friend to our Coco. Coco is great with people but not good with other animals and Chelsea took great care with her while out on walks. Would definitely recommend and will definitely rebook.”
“Patricia was incredible with my two dogs! They had an excellent time and were well cared for. She sent daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I cannot recommend Nina enough! From the moment I left my dog in her care, I felt completely at ease. She provided regular updates, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure I always knew how my pups were doing. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Marjorie is truly the best and her family is so lovely! They really do treat Lucha like their own (and their kid seems to think it's the family dog at this point!) and I always know when Lucha stays with them that she is well taken care of”
“Niya was kind and amazing; from communicating with me, understanding my concerns for my little one and updating me of her status. She was phenomenal taking care of my baby and I’d book her again.”
“From the beginning Kristynah had amazing communication and put us at ease. This was our first time leaving our pup with someone on Rover and we could not have gotten luckier. Kristynah asked great questions on the home visit so that we knew she was thinking of the care and comfort of our pup. Once we dropped her off we got amazing updates twice a day with cute pictures and some highlights since the last update. Will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“My girl had a great experience. We had a great meet and greet and communication leading up to the stay was excellent. I was very nervous leaving Aly partly because she’s a year old and “mostly a good puppy” and I didn’t want her to be a problem. Also have never left any of my dogs with someone I didn’t know. Mikaelan was wonderful about responding to all of my “How is she?” texts with updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. By day 2 I was able to relax and I still received daily reports about Aly’s adventures with her temporary humans and new BFFs. Aly came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the care and communication”
“Nicole was wonderful with Nova! We got updates on her stay and Nova seemed to be very happy throughout. We will definitely board with Nicole again and recommend her to anyone who needs a fun and safe place for their fur baby!”
“Ben was great! My dog Ice took a while to relax being in a new place, and Ben did his best to make sure his stay was as safe and comfortable as possible. Daily photos and updates were nice too. Would board again with him!”
“This was Toby's 2nd stay with Cynthia and we can't wait to use her services again! Cynthia responds promptly and sends regular updates which made me feel better while being out of town. She is so friendly, kind and very accommodating to our needs. We genuinely appreciate her flexibility. Toby is knackered by the time we get home which is a sure sign of him having a blast. Thank you Cynthia and family - Toby looks forward to his next stay!”
“Danielle was great. She worked with our schedule and treated Oliver like a “king.” When we originally parted ways at drop-off time, Oliver just walked away with her on his leash. He was comfortable with her immediately. Thank you Danielle for loving my dog.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Beach
Marjorie and her Family took great care of my senior Yorkie Tika. Her Beautiful Daughters showed Tika lots of love. Really appreciate the fact that Marjorie made sure I had pics and gave details on how she was doing over the course of the stay, really appreciated that, eased my anxiety. Thank you so much!!
I could not recommend Taylor enough. I have a high energy, very large puppy. I’m also in the process of training my dog and Taylor was so willing to continue all of my training and work with Racer while he was watching him. He also sent TONS of updates and pictures. There was not a single moment that I was worried about Racer. I had 100% confidence that Racer was on the best hands possible and I would recommend Taylor to any pet parent out there.
Alex was wonderful! She accommodated us within an hour of booking after we realized our hotel wasn’t pet‑friendly. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which really eased our nerves since it was our first time boarding our dog. She made the whole experience comfortable and stress‑free. Thank you Alex!
Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.
Jessica is amazing. She watched our rescue beagle who can be very anxious. Jessica was very patient accommodating and kept us very informed about Malias days and nights. She sent us tons of pics so we could see our girl was doing great with her. Highly recommend Jessica and hope to use her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Virginia Beach on Rover is $38.52 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 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Virginia Beach. 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.
97% of Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach.
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 Virginia Beach 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.
