“This is my third time using Cheryl and she is excellent! I have a very timid and skittish rescue pup and Cheryl has shown her nothing but love and patience! I truly appreciate her care for my girl and looking forward to using her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t family and I would 100000000% rebook with Sam. Sam sent me pictures everyday while I was gone and gave me updates on how Blue was doing. She took such good care of my dog and if there was a 10 star option that would be my rating. 😊”
“We’re so grateful for the love and care our pups received. It meant everything knowing they were not just safe, but truly happy while we were away. The sweetest part was how much our doggies adored her kids you could tell they were having the best time together. We came home to a couple of relaxed, happy dogs, and that says it all. They will be going back forever now!”
“Tetiana and her family does so well with our little buddy Milo it’s like he’s family to them. We really appreciate the attention to details and TLC she provides to him and the peace of mind she gives us while we are away!”
“Everything about boarding our fur baby with Shiva was 5 star perfection. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up we knew we were in excellent hands. Our dog was relaxed and happy with Shiva and her other pups. It’s obvious that Shiva knows and loves dogs! Shiva’s house and yard are great for any dog to exercise and explore. Our dog was instantly at ease at her home and it’ was a pleasure to go away knowing our dog was in Shiva’s care. She provides excellent updates and photos at the end of every day so you can go to bed knowing your dog is happy and safe. Shiva was an excellent communicator. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Thanks to the most amazing experience a dog and her family could ever have ! Erin sent pictures and updates daily with big smiles. Fergie had books read to her every night ! I would highly recommend her services over and over again and plan to continue the relationship. For my first sexy, we are over the moon happy .”
“Kadisha and Jacob were awesome!! My pup had a great stay with them!! I had piece of mind while traveling. I’d definitely recommend!!! I’ll be reaching out to them next time I go out of town!! ?”
“This was our second time boarding Archie with Robert and Edina, and once again they were absolutely wonderful. They took excellent care of Archie and made him feel completely at home. We really appreciated the frequent photo updates and regular status messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Archie had a great time with them — he came home happy, relaxed, and full of positive energy, and immediately started spending time with our kids like he never missed a beat. That says a lot about the care and attention he received. Robert and Edina are kind, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to board Archie with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care.”
“Kathryn and her family did a wonderful job hosting our dog Duke for two weeks. She was flexible, kept us informed of how things were going in a timely manner, and happen to live within walking distance of our house. Highly recommended!”
“Our dog loved her stay with Lily! She especially loved the big fenced backyard and playing with Lily’s Pomeranian Ted. Lily was wonderful about sending us updates and lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Lily and we are so happy that we found a home away from home for our dog!”
“Lily had a wonderful trail walk every day! Ivan and his family gave her love and great care while my family was in vacation! Thank you so much Ivan and Lily will happily come to your house again!”
“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Victoria is spectacular!! She has walked Ike for me a few times now prior to Ike’s first boarding with her. She has wonderful with his walks and absolutely amazing with him while he stayed with her for a few days! She is responsive and stays in touch daily and sends pictures as well. We were in a bind getting back home out of the country and Victoria went above and beyond to help us out by dropping Ike for us at our home as we made our way home from the airport since were going to get back later than planned. Thank you so much Victoria! I know when Ike is with her, I can rest easy and not worry about him.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”
“I am a new dog dad, and never used a dog sitter or Rover previously. I had to go away for a work trip, and I contacted Priscila on very short notice. She did great with my pup. I received plenty of pictures and my puppy looked so happy and was playing constantly. My dog gave her a big hug as she was leaving and made some new doggy friends during her stay! Thanks so much!!”
“Katie and Adam were brilliant. We have an old dog and have had issues in the past with nervousness. Sam came home happy and content. We are so happy we've booked again for next month!”

Emily was awesome! We have a nervous Weimaraner and she had him for a full week with zero concerns. She sent me pictures and updates of all their hiking adventures and asked questions to make sure she cared for him just like we do. So appreciative of her and can’t wait to book with her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterford on Rover is $64.55 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 2,736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. 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.
91% of Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford.
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 Waterford 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.
