“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”

“Rachel has been such a blessing for us! My pup Arrow absolutely loves her and her family. It gives me such peace of mind to know he has a second home at Ms. Rachel’s house. The first time he stayed with her we hadn’t had him very long and he was very nervous which gave him the runs unfortunately. But that didn’t stop Rachel from working with us to help him for future visits. We live in the same neighborhood and sometimes see her out walking and Arrow gets so excited to say hi to her, it fills my heart with love to know and see how much he loves her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed simply being in their presence! I adore teaching old and young dogs new tricks and give exceptional care and cater to each individual pet! I also provide additional services such as bathing during the stay! I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!

Dogs are family and deserve to be treated like they are just that, valued family members. I current work from home and the dogs in my house are free to roam all day. We take breaks and enjoy walking around the quiet neighborhood. I may not have a fenced yard but that will not keep your dog from being exercised or safe.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waverly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waverly. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Waverly can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waverly home-away-from-home, 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 Waverly.

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 Waverly 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 , 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 .

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.
