“My baby Campion stayed for almost two weeks while we were on our trip in Europe. We were a little bit nervous because he is ver attached to us but thankfully Colleen and Sean took great care of him. They send us picture which made us so happy. Would definitely recommend them and choose them again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!”
“Gail, I can't thank you enough for the great and loving care you gave our Nala. This was a long stay and she isn't used to being with anyone besides the family. Getting the photos and videos every day and seeing that she was happy and felt like home with you, made us feel at ease and relaxed. It made our overseas vacation more enjoyable, knowing that she was in such good hands. Nala would definitely want to stay with Gail again.”
“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”
“I was nervous to leave Winnie for the first time with non-family but Cheryl and Gustavo (and their family) welcomed Winnie and made her feel right at home! I received daily photos and updates which helped ease my worries, she was very well taken care of, loved on, and treated like one of their own. Will definitely rebook for our next trip. Winnie enjoyed her vacation as much as we did!”
“Helena and Nathan took great care of Tokki while we were out of the state for a week and a half. They sent daily pictures, and I could tell they made feel Tokki feel right at home and he had a great time. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
“Jona is an absolute gem! I had to leave town last-minute for work, and she took in my pup with such kindness, patience, and care. She kept me updated regularly with photos, thoughtful messages, and insights about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond in every way. I was in a rush the day I dropped him off (and my little monster decided to snatch his leash right before we left), so I had to leave him without one. Jona didn’t miss a beat - she provided a sturdy leash and handled everything so calmly and generously. That kind of support meant a lot to me. She treated him like family; taking him on walks, helping reinforce his training, and making sure he stayed comfortable in the summer heat. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her home is a safe, caring space, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby with real love and attention, Jona is the one. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Our senior pup stayed with Michelle for one week while we were on vacation. Michelle provided daily updates with pictures and we were comforted knowing our pup was well taken care of. Being an older dog, our pup enjoys a calm environment which Michelle absolutely provided. She has a large backyard with plenty of smells that I know our hound just loved. We will absolutely use Michelle next time we need boarding.”
“David and his family were the perfect stay for Peach. They treated peach as their own dog and had her feel at home. They were very responsive and sent a lot of pictures l. Highly recommend. Definitely will use them again!”
“Carrie and Matthew both care so much about your pet - it shows the moment they open the door. After having them watch our dog a handful of times, it feels more like bringing our dog to friends to babysit than anything else. It makes it so much easier to leave knowing that she is in such loving hands.”
“Great sitter!!!! She treats your pet like part of the family. Aisha sent me updates on how my pet was doing while I was away as well as photos. She is very responsive and she does her best to accommodate. I will not be taking my dog anywhere else because she is the best. ”
“Jodee and AJ are very experienced and took great care of my pup even providing pictures and updates. Being her first time with a rover I was slightly apprehensive but it couldn’t have gone smoother. The family was very attentive!”
“Asia was so wonderful with our puppy. We were nervous about having to leave him somewhere for 8 nights but he did great with her! Asia was accommodating and adaptable when our travel plans had a hiccup and we had to have her watch him an extra night. I will be bringing our dog back to her!”
“Rosario went above and beyond to take care of Buster when he wasn’t feeling his best. She is a great sitter and obviously cares about the dogs she watches.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Annandale
Javier is conscientious and is considerate of our dogs' needs. Poppy and Olivia responded positively to Javier immediately. They were relaxed and made themselves at home. Javier is sincerely a dog lover. We are so pleased with the way our dogs were taken care of and will use Javier in the future. We recommend Javier as a dog sitter without reservation. Linda and Mike
Zosha and his partner took such great care of Jefe! We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and sweet about the whole thing. Their communication was amazing the entire time, and I could tell Jefe was in really loving and caring hands. We’d absolutely love to book with them again in the future. I’d definitely recommend them to all fur parents!
Sandika and her husband did a fantastic job watching Dash! They shared tons of photos, updates, and videos every day, and kept him so stimulated with lots of walks, fetch, and playtime with neighborhood dogs. They were flexible and responsive, will absolutely use them again!
Jennifer is amazing and gave our two pups the most loving care during their stay! She is responsible and responsive and kept in constant communication with us through messages and photos. She also stayed on top of their medications and spoiled our dogs with lots of attention, walks, and play time. They bonded with her quickly and were comfortable in her home right away, even one of our dogs who has mild separation anxiety issues. We are super happy with the boarding experience and will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks!!!
Ayme is an amazing pet sitter! My rescue dog is very skittish around new people but she took the time to help him become comfortable with her and now he loves her! She has sat for him at my house and he has boarded at her house. In addition to being great with dogs, she is trustworthy and reliable.
Anmei was an exceptional rover who seemed to care for Miley and give her the attention she needed. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay to make sure she got her exercise and was kept safe and happy. Miley was also accompanied by her partner and her dog which ensured additional care and activities. Neighbor was also very peaceful and dog-friendly. I highly recommend Anmei to anyone looking for a sitter in the area!
Sadie had a great time with Asia and the other dogs! Sadie is a black Newfie with a heavy coat who easily overheats. With the weather hitting almost 100 degrees multiple days in a row, I felt at ease leaving her with Asia who has a husky herself and really understands how to keep a big fluffy dog cool! Asia has a big backyard that is mostly shaded, keeps her A/C on indoors and has multiple fans already set up for the dogs to plop down in front of to further cool off. There were a couple other large double-coat dogs there as well so Sadie was in good company. I enjoyed the daily picture updates from Asia and she was very easy to communicate with for the meet & greet and general scheduling. We’ll be using Asia again in a few weeks when we leave for a longer trip. Thank you!!
BLUF: Book in confidence. Helena and Nathan were great. Their comms were very clear and timely, they definitely know what they are doing in terms of thinking forward about how to give your dog the best experience and to give you peace of mind while they are being boarded there. Both their home and their yard are well-tended - no hazards for dogs like wires, broken boards, etc. They were also flexible in terms of dropoff/pickup times, as well as accommodating reasonable requests for toys, treats, and food options. They also allowed a friend of mine and their dog (who recommended me to Helena and Nathan) to stop by for a short playdate. Great experience and will book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Annandale on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 7,443 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.
