“Nicole was great with my doggo, super organized and communicative! Very much appreciate clear directions, expectations, and her obvious love for caring for pets! Will book with her again!”
“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“Melanie is amazing! Not only does she provide photos throughout the day, but she is genuinely interested in your pet’s health and happiness. She made a great recommendation to help get our pup back to eating, after struggling for months to eat regularly. I highly recommend!”
“Linda watched our dog while we were out of town this past weekend and we could not have been happier with our experience. Linda quickly responded to our request and questions, and was communicative all weekend. Booking was easy and drop off/pickup was flexible and smooth. We received updates everyday and several pictures of how Gunner was doing during his stay. In all the pictures you could tell that Gunner felt right at home and when we picked him up he was exhausted from playing. Linda went above and beyond to make Gunner feel at home and make us feel at ease leaving him. We will definitely be using Linda again and would 100% recommend her.”
“Great communication, lovely personality, and her dog is very relaxed. My pup sometimes has issues with other dogs, but they got along very well. Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter 🙂”
“Amazing as always! Our older pup was sick while we were away and they tended to him with so much care and attention. We always feel so at ease when our dogs are staying with Mary and Sebastian!! Thank you!”
“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 😊”
“Beka was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Wish I could rate 10 stars! Sent regular updates and kept us updated the whole time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO WATCH YOUR FUR BABY!! I WOULD REBOOK WITH BEKA!!!”
“Kari was great with our big dog, Camacho! We loved that he was the only dog in her care at the time and I’m sure he loved all the attention. She sent us photos every other day and that was perfect. Highly recommend Kari and we will definitely use her as our dog sitter the next time we have to go out of town ?”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Lisa provided daily updates and photos and I could tell Kali was relaxed, having fun, and getting spoiled with attention. She took such great care of Kali and treated her with so much love. Thank you so much for being so kind and welcoming Kali into your home, Lisa! Kali and I hope to book with you again in the future :).”
“Leslie was great! My dog needed to take medications and was recovering from a recent spine surgery during her stay and Leslie did great with her "special needs". She was also super flexible which I appreciated! Definitely will be using Leslie again.”

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.
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!
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!
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 $38.52 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 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 907 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Virginia Beach. About 93% 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.
