“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Liane was awesome! I felt like my dog was part of her family while I was away. She sent me daily updates with pics of Olive. Olive got plenty of walks and attention, I was was so happy to have my dog stay with Liane. If I ever need a sitter again I will definitely be calling Liane.”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Valerie for a weekend trip. We received photos and video clips every day with messages on how he was doing. We’ve never felt more comfortable leaving our dog and knowing he was in good hands. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I also own one myself, so I’m very experienced and comfortable taking care of yours. Available Monday through Friday before 2:00 PM and for overnight stays. I’m very flexible, so if you need a specific hour, just reach out and we can work it out! We have a fenced backyard and plenty of toys, plus a fluffy carpet and couches where they’re welcome to lounge. My dog is very independent and likes his own space, so he won't bother yours. If your dog wants to play, he's happy to join in.
“Xinyi is wonderful, would highly recommend her. She sent pics and videos that were reassuring and we were able to enjoy our vacation. She was very prompt in responding to messages before and during the stay. Thanks Xinyi, really appreciate you taking such great care of Leo.”
“Nico had another awesome stay with Aicha and her family. We’re grateful knowing he’s hanging out with their family and playing with them and their dog Oliver while we’re away. He’s always happy to be dropped off and happy when he’s picked up too! Thanks Aicha and fam!”
“I can't recommend Eun enough! From the moment we booked, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. What really set her apart, though, was the constant updates and a stream of photos she sent while taking care of our dog. It was so reassuring to see our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—it made being away so much easier. It’s obvious Eun truly loves animals and treats them like their own. We will absolutely be booking again. Five stars all the way!”
“Helen was fantastic with Hunter and Raven! She watched them for a few hours during my sister's wedding, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when I returned. Helen was professional, attentive, and clearly has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again!”
“Shadi was an amazing sitter for my sweet Sadie girl! She was so responsive, caring, and dedicated. Shadi provided several updates throughout the day and was always very timely with her communication. Dropping Sadie off, I knew she was in good hands and would be loved all day. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and you could tell Sadie had a great experience. Would definitely book again and highly recommend Shadi for your dog care needs!!”
“Lydia took incredible care of our pup while we were out of the country. We had never left him for so long or gone so far away and I was nervous since he is the baby of the family. She sent so many pictures and videos and really went above and beyond to ensure he got lots of love and attention. He always looked happy and I was reassured right away that he was in great hands with her and her family. I would recommend Lydia to anyone!”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”
“Jennifer is the best! I have a (highly emotional) Great Dane who gets stressed when I leave but I can tell in every photo she sends how happy and spoiled he is! I feel so comfortable leaving him with Jennifer which is a great feeling to have.”
“Ana-Karina and her husband were amazing with Dobby. She sent us videos of him playing and exercising outside. Dobby returned home happy. It was clear that he was well taken care of.”
About: Hello! My name is Ricardo and I am 27 years old. When I was a child I grew up in a home taking care of several animals. In my teens I had a poodle and a cat. No job is too big or too small. I have already had the opportunity to take care of 4 adorable puppies in my previous apartment. I currently have more availability for your pet. I'm looking to spend my free time doing what I like the most. I will take care of your beloved pet in your home following all your desires and needs! I have a part-time job in the afternoons on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I am ready to receive your pets on the days that I am available, play with them and take them for a walk as many times as necessary. Give them all the necessary love and security that they are in a safe place for their stay, we love to go for a walk and generate trust between your pet and me. Make them play and fill them with hugs and kisses.
“Josh was great with our 2 dogs! The entire family was so attentive in making Olive and Stella feel right at home. Their house is fantastic and the HUGE yard was made for dogs to play and play. We will definitely bring them back for future stays. Thank you SOOOO much!”
“Karen took great care of our dog. She sent daily photos while we were gone which I very much appreciated. When I asked questions (such as how my dog was adjusting, was she eating, etc), Karen was quick to respond. Would definitely book again and feel comfortable referring others to her.”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Tamara was amazing with our Autumn and so attentive. She communicated with us while we were away and made sure Autumn was comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be using her amazing services again.”

Your search is over. Karmen is the absolute best doodle mom of all time. I have never met a person who loves and adores Doodles more than she does. The absolute joy on her face when she gets to care and love on Doodles is truly something to be seen. She has been taking care of our Ginger for years and I cannot tell you how excited our dog gets just knowing that she gets to go over to Karmen‘s house. I mean she’s over the moon ecstatic, can’t even control herself. When in Karmen care she’s is truly treated as one of the family, spoiled rotten, played with constantly, we get continuous pictures and video throughout the day that we live for when we’re away from Ginger. Truly, Karmen is one of kind, there is no other who will love on your pet as much as she will. She was born to care and love on dogs. Our family is so grateful.
Ali was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with me throughout Bruno’s stay and sent plenty of pictures, which I really appreciated. She took great care of Bruno, and I could tell he had an amazing time! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ali again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
My pups had an amazing time with Deborah and she is our regular sitter. I know Oreo and Charlie are well cared for and they have the best time playing at Deborah’s. We are so blessed to have met her and she is the best sitter by far I’ve ever trusted to watch my dogs. We love her!
Jenny was a wonderful host and took care of Rio , our one-year-old Frenchie. She communicated frequently with photos and videos of Rio and kept us updated. Above all, we could see how Jenny and her family , including young kids genuinely cared for Rio and also enjoyed his company.
Rasleen is amazing. She was so kind to take our Simba last minute due to an unplanned trip. She took such beautiful care of him and sent us pictures of him throughout the day. She was very loving to our Simba and felt so peaceful leaving him with her. Thank you so much Rasleen. We will definitely stay in touch for our future trips.
Kristen was absolutely amazing! It was my first time leaving my senior dog in the hands of somebody who is not a friend or family member and I was so worried. But from the moment I left, Kristen mitigated all of my fears, sending me tons of photos, videos, and updates about Ellie and how well she was acclimating to her new babysitter. She even did a FaceTime with Ellie and I which was a great way for my fur baby to hear my voice and feel like I was there 😂 I can’t recommend Kristen enough!
I just can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Katrina. It was just like leaving my two sibling Schnauzers with trusted family. It is obvious that she loves dogs and my pups were instantly comfortable around her. Katrina asked many questions about the pups prior to their stay, so I was very comfortable that she was very invested in their well being. She also has many friends and family that came to love on the pups, and I know they were well comforted, taken care off and entertained. She sent me many pictures and updates to assure me that the pups were comfortable in their surroundings. She lives in such a beautiful area with many nice walking trails which they loved. I will definitely be using Katrina in the future as my pet sitter!!
This was my first time leaving my little girl and I was a bit anxious about it. From the time I had my meet and greet with Jennifer to the time I picked her up Jennifer has been super flexible and very responsive. She sent me the greatest pics and allowed me to enjoy the vacation without a worry. I have a feeling she was sad to go home 😊.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Waxpool is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 6,966 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waxpool. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in Waxpool 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 Waxpool 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 Waxpool.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waxpool. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Waxpool 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
