“Veronica is AMAZING!! Was very worried leaving my 6 month old Basenji, Braxton, as it was our first time leaving him and he’s a very energetic puppy. He LOVED it!! He made lots of new friends and enjoyed every second of it. Will definitely continue to use Veronica in the future.”
“Molly was very well cared for and because of the many pictures I received I saw how she was pampered. She is a very happy little dog. If/when I need boarding for Molly I will definitely request Hyunbang P.”
“Khristie was excellent with my dog Goose who is somewhat needy and shy. He was immediately comfortable around her and she took great care of him. He had a ton of quality cuddle and play time. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Michelle is wonderful. She is very responsive and sends regular updates, including pictures. Most importantly, our golden doodle always gets so excited when he spends time with Michelle and her family. He can’t wait to go back!”
“Vincent was awesome! My husband and I went on vacation for 2 weeks in Italy and was the first time we could not take Chifli with us. Chifli has stayed with pet sitters for a night here and there but we were never to far. I was so nervous, but Vincent helped me leave with confidence that Chifli would be loved and cared for and that he was! Vincent would send us pictures or videos daily so I can continue to enjoy my vacation and know that he was enjoying his stay also with Vincent. Thank you Vincent!”
“Susan and her husband were great to my little dog and treated me with warmth and openness. I loved the daily pictures they took of Autumn and videos of her playing with other dogs. When I had a concern Susan was very understanding and I truly appreciated that. I would love to rebook her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“George is becoming a regular at Christine’s! Christine and her family are wonderful people, her house is clean and safe, and the pups are always friendly. Thank you so much for always giving Georgie such great care and helping get his zoomies out!”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“Nicole was wonderful! Her updates were thoughtful, informative, and really reassuring. I always appreciated knowing how Banks was doing and what he was up to. He had such a great time with lots of play, little adventures, and enrichment. Banks can be a bit anxious, and Nicole was so patient and kind in helping him feel comfortable and settle in. He also loved spending time with little miss Harper. I can’t recommend Nicole enough. It’s clear she truly cares, and we’re so grateful for the great care she gave Banks. We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Carrie and Matthew were absolutely amazing! They were able to watch our pup on short notice and couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating. They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We highly recommend them and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs!”
“Asia was amazing! She has perfect communication, sent lots of photos and updates, and was so kind. She made sure mochi felt at home and was definitely pup ready. I will be using her again. If you are looking for a dog sitter look no further.”
“Jona takes such good care of our dog. She takes the time with each dog to find out what they need and makes sure they are always comfortable and feel safe. Our dog loves to spend time with her!”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”

“This was my puppy’s first time away from home and he could not have been in better hands! Mary gave us regular updates and tons of pictures and Obi had an absolute blast. She was so patient and understanding with all of his puppy quirks and high energy level. We were a little nervous about how he’d be in a new environment but Mary’s house is set up so well for the dogs with a huge fenced in backyard as well. I know Obi can’t wait to go back!”
“Rosario was really good with my dog she sent pictures throughout the day and made me feel at ease while I was away traveling. I would definitely use her as a sitter again she was great!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
Megan S & Erin K were spectacular sitters for my two dogs and my daughter's dog. They sent us daily updates during the 2 weeks we were gone and sent us multiple pictures each day and periodic videos showing them having a great time in the back yard running around with the other dogs. We had to extend their stay when our flight was cancelled and we asked if our pups could stay 2 more days! No problem!! This was the second time they have watched our dogs and we would definitely recommend them for dog care. Regards, Karen E.
I had such a positive experience with Jessica. She kindly accepted Shanti on very short notice, and from the moment I dropped him off, I felt he was in caring hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. Jessica was attentive, communicative, and flexible, including accommodating our drop off/pickup time. Shanti came home calm, happy, and very much himself, which is always the best sign that he was comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessica again. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy! 🐾
This is Ato's first time stay with Amanda and he absolutely loved staying with her. Not only did Amanda updated me with daily pictures and comments, but she also accommodated Ato's every need. Ato is a very shy dog, but the fact that he allowed Amanda to give him belly rubs says it all. I will definitely have Amanda in mind whenever I need a dogsitter in the future.
Sarah was great with Ace and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated and made me feel confident that Ace was happy and well taken care of! I would definitely recommend Sarah and would be happy to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Annandale on Rover is $45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Annandale. 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.
94% of Annandale 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 Annandale 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 Annandale 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 Annandale.
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 Annandale 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.
