“Mikaelan did a WONDERFUL job with my buddy while I was gone! Lots of exercise and exceptional care. I would HIGHLY recommend her to board your dog with, and next time I'm out of town, I'll book with her again!”
About: I have two high energy doggies of my own so I’m totally used to keeping up and making sure they get that energy out. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter playing with dogs all day I am currently working from home so my availability is pretty flexible to be able to do drop ins/ taking your furry friend on a walk or coming to stay the night with them ! I have two friendly dogs who’d love to play with yours if you needed them boarded , I also can easily crate dogs if that’s what you prefer when they’re left alone
“Linda was excellent with my dog, Hank, and she took the time to send photo updates whenever I needed them. I would highly suggest Linda for boarding your pet.”
“Hailey did great for my pup Ivy! She had a good time playing with her kids. Hailey was great about keeping me updated and sending me pictures and videos of Ivy. I will rebook in the future and recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
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.
“Nicole has kept my boxer and Belgian shepherd 3-4 times now. The last time she kept them was during the weekend of Hurricane Matthew. We had been communicating over 2-3 weeks regarding an upcoming trip that would require going out of town with only 1-2 days notice. Nicole was very accommodating and also very empathetic to my situation. Her communications helped put me at ease during what was an otherwise very stressful situation. When I had concerns over leaving the dogs during the hurricane (even though it had mostly turned away at that point) and queried Nicole, I was impressed with all of the preparation Nicole had done to make sure her family and her charges would be taken care of. My dogs always seem happy when I drop them off which tells me a lot.”
“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!”
“Rhonda was great with our dog, Ollie. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pictures. She sent photos right away to show us that he had settled right in - that was so thoughtful and let us relax knowing that he was happy. He had a doggy door and nice fenced in yard to play in. We would definitely use Rhonda again!”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful with our 2 boys, who are relatively new rescues. We had never left them with anyone before. She is kind and patient. Our boys were treated very well. She sent us daily updates. I highly recommend Lisa! We have already made another reservation with her.”
“Kristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Great experience! Shawn was very knowledgeable about puppy care and responsive with planning the stay. He sent pictures and my dog seemed really happy to get to run around with the other dogs during his stay.”
“Jenn was great! It’s reassuring to know that your pets are in good hands when you’re away. Jenn took excellent care of my dog, during her stay Jenn had great communication and provided updates and photos. I definitely plan to re book for my future vacations!”
“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!!!”
“We felt confident our sweet girl was being well cared for and receiving lots of love. We were kept up to date with photos which we really appreciated. Sammy was a great companion and overall it was a great experience. Thank you!”
“Bernie and Julie are awesome...personal and professional. They were attentive to my very senior Lou and played with younger Lilly constantly. Home and yard are lovely. Will use again.”
“Leslie did a nice job caring for our little bean. With prompting, she kept us informed on how he was doing and sent pics. She said he fit right into the family and I'd be happy to utilize her services again.”
About: Dogs are by far my favorite animals. I love to care for them, play with them, and give them love and attention. I have been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. My pups, Higgins and Zoey, are high energy puppies that require routine, sniffing walks, playtime, training, puzzle toys, and scheduled naps. I would provide the same mix of mental and physical activities with your dog while they stayed here. Having two puppies of my own, I have experience with puppy training and safety requirements including puppy proofing the house. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their dogs and I always care for them as if they are my own. I can administer oral medication if needed and will uphold any training you are currently doing with your fur baby. As of now With my current work schedule, I am available to watch your dog during the daytime and / or board over the weekdays. I have two very friendly dogs of my own that would love the chance to run and play with your dog. I have a fenced in yard, doggie pool for cooling off in the summer heat, puzzles for mental stimulation, and can crate your dog if necessary. Additionally, there are two baby gates round the house used to separate the dogs if they need a play break or scheduled nap. I will always send photos of your dog having a great time in my care and share their rovercard at the conclusion of their stay.
“David did so great with my Great Pyrenees, Charlie! He was also very patient with me as this was my first time using the app and I accidentally scheduled the wrong day. Upon meeting Charlie was very comfortable with him and he was excited to go hang with David. Thank you SO much for taking care of our huge furry friend. I highly recommend having David watch your dog!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Virginia Beach
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!
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.

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.

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.

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.
