“Karen is so wonderful. Our dog has some anxiety issues and it was our first time leaving him with someone. Karen went above and beyond to make him comfortable. She exudes kindness and patience and we’d recommend her any day!”
“Kael and Juliana were amazing! They took great care of our pup, treating her like their own. Their communication was above and beyond. Highly recommend considering Kael and Juliana- we'll certainly be reaching out next time we need a second home for our our doggo.”
“Phoenix is always happy when we arrive at Christine’s. And coordinating with Christine is always easy, particularly when flight delays occur.”
“Russ and Andra were very welcoming and very attentive to our and our dogs needs. Big backyard and great for dogs. We received a bunch of pictures of our dog while we away Would recommend and use them again.”
“To start with, whatever I am going to say about Eduardo and Suseth isn’t enough. I boarded my little pupp with them for over 3 weeks. They took an excellent care of my baby. Definitely recommend them and will board Canelo with them every-time in the future. They spoiled him more than his mom haha and treated him as he is their own . They sent detailed updates multiple times during the day. They followed my instructions exactly. They got Canelo new toys. My pupp loved them and was so happy to stay with them. He found his favorite sitters. They truly went above and beyond to take care of my little pupp. They even kept Canelo as the only dog to board with them as I preferred so. I have boarded Canelo multiple times in the past with other sitters who did an ok job but had many other dogs boarding at the same time and took it as a job, while this couple ( Eduardo and Suseth) is genuinely passiotate about dogs and got the biggest and kindest heart. Not only that , they are very responsible and caring. Thank you guys for making my baby feel home away from home.”
“Deb and her husband took wonderful care of my pug Lyla. I felt very comfortable with them and they truly seemed to enjoy having her around. I would not hesitate to book with them again! Thank you!!”

“Thor was happy when we picked him up, so I know that India went above and beyond in taking care of him. If ever we are in need of a dog sitter, we'll without hesitation give India a call. Thank you India.”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of Poppy, and provided daily pictures and updates. Poppy got along super well with their dog and they became fast friends! I recommend Amanda's services and will definitely ask her to watch Poppy again.”
“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further!”

Rae was amazing with my precious Paris. She was very uncomfortable at first to be separated from me, but Rae was very careful to watch and respond appropriately to her needs to make her feel safe and comfortable. I'm grateful for such a caring sitter away from home and will absolutely use her again.
We had such a wonderful experience with Dena! She was caring, reliable, and treated our dogs like family. She kept us updated, followed our instructions, and made sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Dena and will definitely use her again!
Marlene was a fantastic and wonderful pet sitter for our fur baby, Sasha! She made this first experience of leaving our pet so smooth and easy. Marlene kept us updated with photos throughout the day. Marlene’s dog Pedrita, was friendly too and our fur babies had some fun walks. Sasha enjoyed lounging and sun bathing in front of Marlene’s floor to ceiling windows in her apartment which it’s also super pet friendly. Thank you Marlene for treating Sasha as your own pet with lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and walks too. We look forward to booking with Marlene again!
Catalina and her partner were incredible watching our Buster! He had the best time and really enjoyed his week long stay. I highly recommend these two for boarding, they were so flexible and sent us so many pictures and really put our minds at ease having to leave Buster for a full week! Thanks again!
I had a wonderful experience with Kiana. She was incredibly attentive and caring with my dog, and I really appreciated the continuous communication throughout his stay. She kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I could tell he was comfortable and enjoying his time with her and her family. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog!
Barley had a great time at Melanie & Greg’s! He especially loved playing with their children, which I got many photo updates of. The family was very accommodating and tried to find the best place for Barley to sleep for the first time he stayed with them. I would definitely have Barley stay over again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Alexandria on Rover is $53.5 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,638 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alexandria. About 90% of Alexandria 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. 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.
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.
