“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”
“Wendy and Johnny took wonderful care of Clark Kent during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well cared for while I was away. Their thoughtful updates and photos meant the world to me and made it so much easier to be apart from him. It was clear they genuinely cared about Clark and treated him like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and look forward to booking with them in the future. Tell Dennis Clark appreciated his company and sharing his space with him. Thank you both for taking such great care of my little buddy!”
“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands! We knew Lyra was treated as family while in her stay! Would 100 percent book her again!”
“Bronnie was well taken care of. Patricia provided updates regularly which comforted when I was away from my baby. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Ben and Shannon were Awsome!! We loved all the day to day updates with pictures. Thank you very much. We will definitely do this again. Much better that your regular boarding.”
“Einstein had a great time with Christie and her family! She sent pictures daily and was easy to communicate with. Our dog came back happy! We would for sure recommend her and have her watch him again. Thank you!”
“Janelle and her family were amazing with my dogs. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. I was able to have a stress free vacation knowing my pups were being well taken care of. She also sent text updates which was very nice.”
“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”
“Cherry was wonderful! She provided tons of videos and photos of my two pups! Even with crazy travel issues, she was able to keep my dogs for longer than originally planned and gave me peace of mind as I navigated travel delays! Highly recommend her for watching your pets!”
“Taylor is AWESOME!! He took amazing care of my big girl Hannah while I was out of town, always updating me and me sending pictures! From our initial meeting with him before bringing Hannah by, I knew he was the one for her. His caring and gentle ways and experience with large dogs made this the perfect match. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Wowww! Hannah took such great care of our pups. She spoiled them with beach walks, fetch, and salmon skin (which she got our permission for in advance). She was super communicative and we felt confident they were safe and loved the whole trip. Thanks, Hannah! 🫶🫶🐶🐶🦴🦴🐾🐾”
“Benjamin took great care of our two dogs for a full month, and we’re really grateful for it. They came back clean, fresh, and well cared for, even without their usual weekly baths, which we really appreciated 😊 He was also kind and responsive whenever we reached out.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog with a stranger. Kudos to the Rover app to help me choose the perfect sitter for our golden doodle. We had a meet and greet with Stacey and her dogs the week before we were leaving. Stacey made me feel very comfortable with the surroundings and her schedule for the dogs. She sent pictures and videos every day, which really helped me. Lol. We had a change in our schedule on the way home and Stacey was very flexible with our return time. Our pup had a great time playing with the other dogs and he was happy and very tired when he got home! I think he misses his friends. 😃”
“Excellent service! Bane was very happy and they didn’t even complain because he tends to be oily and smelly(bulldog) no matter how many bathes he gets. We will definitely trust them again!”
“Nicole is a great sitter and Gia had a wonderful experience. Nicole sent pictures and video back of the dogs playing. Also Gia came back with a couple of new skills and we can tell the difference. I would definitely have her watch Gia again anytime and highly recommend her!”
“I cannot recommend Nina enough! She was the nicest ever and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pictures and updates of a very happy dog everyday. She truly went above and beyond keeping up with his training and commands that I left and I appreciated that so much! Racer had such a great time and I would rebook 100%. Thank you again 😊”

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Incredibly responsive from start to finish and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received updates and pictures, which made it so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for my Cocoa was. My flight was delayed and I had no issues with adding an extra day. It was obvious Cocoa received lots of attention, love, and care, treating her like one of their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I truly appreciated the extra effort they put into keeping me informed throughout the stay. I will 100% book again 💕 I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. I will absolutely book again!
This was Billy’s very first time being boarded, and Chelsea made the entire experience so easy and stress-free for us. From the moment we met her, she went above and beyond to make sure Billy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were enjoying our vacation in Virginia Beach. It was obvious that she truly cared about Billy as if he were her own. Chelsea was always available to answer our questions, incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. Billy came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Chelsea, for taking such amazing care of our sweet pitbull!
Wendy and Johnny took wonderful care of Clark Kent during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well cared for while I was away.

Thank you both for taking such great care of my little buddy!
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!
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 $38.85 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 881 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.
