“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!”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring LaShell to take care of my beloved dog, Uni, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a wealth of knowledge about dog care. During the time she looked after Uni, she provided not only the necessary walks and feeding but also plenty of playtime and affection. Uni absolutely adored her! It was evident that she tailored her care to Uni’s specific needs and personality, making sure she felt comfortable and happy. When I returned home, Uni was calm, content, and well-exercised—exactly what I hoped for! I highly recommend LaShell to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her dedication and love for dogs truly shine through, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Uni!”

“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.”

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 Pet Boarding in Virginia Beach on Rover is $38.27 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 915 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Virginia Beach. About 94% of Virginia Beach sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
