“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!”
“I would definitely recommend Megaan for anyone and their fur babies. Meagan‘s communication was top-tier and she provided us with a picture of our boy every day. We felt extremely safe leaving him with her. Meagan was very attentive to any instructions that we left. We definitely plan to rebook with her in the future.”
“Patricia and her family took care of my pup like it was hers. Sent me frequent updates and made sure he was taken care of. It was my first time leaving my pup with someone for a long weekend, so it was a new experience for him but a positive one.”
“I had a good feeling about Janelle from the moment I met her. She was very friendly and immediately made me feel at ease about leaving Sophie. Janelle was very good about sending me pictures and updates, so I never had a moment's worry. Sophie had a great time and is looking forward to her next stay!”
“Hannah communicated promptly from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is genuinely kind and clearly a true dog lover. She kept me updated with videos and pictures, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. When my dog was missing us and feeling a bit anxious, she lay down with him on the sofa to help calm him. She even took him on a morning walk without being asked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her anytime.”
“Chris was a flexible and responsive caretaker for our dog. His place and neighborhood seemed well-equipped for dog-walking and dog-sitting, and we were comfortable with our dog being in his care while we were away.”
“Lottie has so much fun here! It is so wonderful to be able to relax when I go away, knowing that she is happy and well cared for. They send pictures of her while she's there to let me know how she's doing.”
“Wendy was so great!!! I felt 100% comfy leaving my Ellie boo with her. She sent me sweet cuddling pictures while we were away and took the best care of our girl. She was loved on like family, no doubt about that. EXTRA thankful for her help getting in/out at pickup while I was SOLO in the weather🤣 the sweetest human. We will def be using Wendy in the future. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and affectionate. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention! 🐶🤍 I am currently working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide lots of attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pup will never feel alone. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of outdoor space for walks and a dog park in the community. I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks throughout the day.
“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.”
“Nyah is very sweet. She was accommodating to a last minute, same day request with a drop off within 2 hours. Amazing right! What a blessing We had an extremely important event the following day and our original pet plan didn’t work out Nyah opened her home and allowed 2 night boarding for our kitty Being on vacation and unfamiliar with the areas pet care Rover was my only option. This was our first time using Rover, Thankfully the site provides quality sitters like Nyah who have availability to get you out of a pinch It didn’t hurt that Nyah has a cat of her own We were excited that Coda could spend some time with a fellow feline:) She communicated well and sent updates and pics daily. I recommend this home for your pet baby needs and would use Nyah as a sitter again.”
“Took excellent care of Yuki providing us updates every time. Even went beyond and took care of his paws issue while we were away. Yuki came home happy, healthy, and clearly very comfortable with the sitter. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter, look no further. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip!”
“I’ve booked with Nicole several times as she takes such great care of my pup! With pictures and updates, I never have to worry about her when I’m out of town.”
“Stacy was great and made sure my little dude was comfortable at her house; as he can be very anxious in a new place. She had homemade treats and did a doggy painting for the 4th of July (so the dog(s) can be distracted during fireworks). I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had a great experience working with Melanie! She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout our pet (Kash’s) stay. We really appreciated the regular pictures and messages showing how he was doing, it gave us so much peace of mind. Kash was well cared for, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Christie and family took good care of Daisy and we have done 2 sittings already(1 sitting for a long 2 3 week).She was prompt on responding and have given us updates when we were away.We will be happy to leave Daisy again in their care.Thank you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Beach
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. 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!
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 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 902 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.
