“Yzabella is one of the best dog sitters we have ever hired. She is very dedicated to the pets and shows them love. We can tell because our dog return back home after nearly 2 weeks very happy. While we were away, Yzabella has been staying in frequent communication with us, sending pictures and we can really tell that she show pets a lot of attention. She is very caring and we will definitely be back to her and hire her for dog sitting again when we need to go on another trip where we can not take our dog with us. Great job, really thankful for everything she did. 5/5 definitely! Thank you really so much from bottom of our hearts, Yzabella! See you again soon!”
“This was our first time boarding our beloved Mila with Katerine and she had a great time with the other dogs. She loved the open space and looked very happy during her stay. Appreciate the pictures that were provided during her stay as well. We will be using Katherine for future stays.”
“Lori and her fiancée are awesome! She had a lot of patience in answering my numerous questions prior to boarding our Sheepadoodle puppy. We really appreciate her and look forward to boarding again in the future.”
“Heather was great! Kept me informed on how my dog Cody was doing and sent pics of him with her dogs. Cody seemed to love her Lab. Lots of room to run in her fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again!”
“Erin and her family are great! Tons of pictures sent throughout our pups stay! Very happy with the level of care and love Honey received! Will definitely schedule another visit!”
“Super friendly folks! Highly recommended! I was at Buffalo Gap for a dance retreat. I could’ve taken my pup, but I was grateful to have my time—knowing she was well taken care of! Other dogs were there and they all got along great! Thank you!!!!”
“Sarah was a fabulous host with a beautiful fenced in yard and home. She sent photos of Rocky and her kids which were so cute. Great communication throughout the stay and super convenient to wineries, tap rooms and Historic Rosemont Manor. Would highly recommend!”
“Lauren was great! She was very flexible with drop off timing and transparent with everything. My dog had a skin tag that burst on our way there, which had never happened right before dropping him off at a sitter. I tried my best to stop the bleeding, but I eventually had to drop him off with them. I was very worried that he'd be a burden or get their home dirty but they were very understanding. They reassured me that they could handle it and their updates definitely eased my anxiety! Also, what was sweet to know about his stay is that their young son loved my dog and they slept together for the night. My pup adores cuddles so I just know he got all the attention he needed! Overall, I would recommend Lauren and would definitely book her again :)”
“So Happy to have sent my little guy Theo to stay with Anahita for 10 days while we were out of country. He was never out for so long without his family around him. Anahita took great care of him. She was so kind to share any dates and communicate how he was doing each day and made sure he was eating well and getting along well. Provided me with so much peace of mind that he was in real good care. Theo had great time at Anahita’s place and got along so well with Anahita’s own pets. He has made new friends. Even when I picked him up and was driving away from her home, authored back and was whining that I was taking him away from his new friends. I was jealous as well as so happy that he had a great time. Will recommend Anahita to my friends and will also look for her services if I need in future. Very Happy that Theo has found a new home if needed in future. Thank You so much Anahita for taking great care of Theo. Really appreciate it.”
“Leia loved being with Tara! We received pics and reports regularly on her stay which was very conforting since it was her first visit. There is a totally fenced back yard for security. I would recommend Tara to anyone considering daycare/boarding.”
“Abby has watched our dog Rocky several times and has always done a wonderful job! Rocky is a rescue, and a terrier, and she let him take his own time getting to know her and her 2 dobie's (both great). This last time presented some unusual challenges, and Abby went above and beyond to make sure Rocky felt safe with her and that we could continue our vacation. She has always communicated well, and has been fantastic with all of her care. I would highly recommend her for your pet!! I can't say it enough. She's great.”
“Chantel was wonderful with Murphy and Mazi. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and provided lots of great pictures and updates throughout their stay. She was attentive to their specific needs and followed all of my care and medication instructions exactly. Chantel was also very kind, and her friendly dogs got along well with Murphy and Mazi. I would definitely book with her again.”
“This was Dexter's second stay with Linda. As soon as we got to the house he ran into the backyard and never looked back. It was great knowing that Dexter was in a loving home and had the opportunity to play with lots of dogs while we were away. Thanks Linda!”
“We have had our dog now for a second time and we couldn’t be happier!!! Our dog has so much fun with her and enjoys a lot his stay with Michelle. She also constantly sent me updates with lots of pictures and videos! It was really a great experience booking with her so I highly recommend Michelle!”
“We were really nervous to leave our new puppy for the first time, and Jennifer made us feel so comfortable even before the stay! She is so accommodating, and sent us lots of updates and pictures throughout his stay with her. Would definitely recommend ?”
“This is our second time leaving our pup with Ashley and her crew. We felt good leaving her that she would get love and care, we received multiple photo updates per days, and came home to a happy and healthy dog! Would definitely recommend Ashley.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Winchester
Kristina, her husband, and their dog Gorgi were amazing hosts to our sweet girl, Winnie. They made her feel right at home. She was taken on walks many times a day, got extra snuggle time and we received many photos throughout the time of her stay. Kristina was so kind to fill us in on how Winnie was adjusting as it was her first time in their home. It put our minds at ease knowing that she was so loved and cared for. We look forward to more play dates and stays in the future.
Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog, Stella. From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she and her husband truly care about animals. They treated Stella like she was their own and spoiled her with love (and plenty of treats). We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it made being away so much easier knowing she was happy and in great hands. Karen also kept us in the loop on how Stella was doing around the other dogs, which we loved. You can genuinely tell just by talking to them how passionate they are about caring for animals. Their experience with rescue groups really shows in the way they handle and love the dogs they watch. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.
Nicky and Bruce took our pups in and made them a part of their family. We were able to leave the dogs with them and not worry one single moment while we were gone. Nicky sent lots of pictures and videos and updates. The dogs enjoyed their "vacation" as much as we did! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Winchester is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Winchester. 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.
98% of sitters in Winchester 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 Winchester 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 Winchester.
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 Winchester 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.
