“I can’t say enough great things about Carlos! Caring, communicative, responsible, responsive! He was attentive to our older dog’s special needs and took the time to send so many wonderful photos and videos as well as detailed updates. We will definitely book Carlos again. He is a top notch sitter and recommend without any reservations.”
“Rebecca boarded our pup for a week. She communicated well, sent pictures, and asked questions about feeding schedules when our pup wasn’t eating. We knew our pup was in good hands!”
“Helena and Nathan were awesome! I was initially worried to leave Raider with someone new but they were a godsend and came through for us. They were super flexible and accommodating and provided updates, pictures, videos. Raider enjoyed his time with their family and almost didn’t want to come home lol”
“Lauren and her bf were amazing with our dogs! They were so kind and accommodating. Lauren is very responsive and sent me an update, not too long after we dropped them off, that our pups were doing well. I could definitely tell the dogs had a good time and felt comfortable. They were so tired when we picked them up. Lauren was also very patient and understanding with our puppy. We will definitely continue booking with them for future trips! :)”
“David continues to never disappoint!!! My German Shepherd has been coming with him since he was a puppy, he always has the best time there, lots of friends to play with and Teddy loves David! The two separate occasions he stayed with David this past week, he had a blast and I was sent pictures and videos of my very happy dog while he was there! I cannot stress this enough to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE book with David!”
“Marcela and her family are the best pet sitters! I had to find a sitter for my hyper Shiba Inu puppy and kitty cat. Marcela sent me daily updates with pics, and Dolly and queen had a great time with Marcela and her family. If you need a sitter to trust your “fur babies” with, Marcela is your gal ???”

About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve had three dogs, a Pomeranian, an Akita, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Each one had a different personality, but they were all very attached to me. None of them went to a training school, but they were all well-behaved. I trained them myself before they turned one year old. I currently live in a clean, quiet, pet-free home. There are no pets living in the house at this time, so visiting dogs will not have to share the space with other animals or adjust to another pet’s presence or scent. I only accept small dogs up to 20 lbs and prefer low-shedding breeds. My home provides a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed during their stay. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Big park around the house. Like walk and play with dog. Small dogs need lots of attention and one-on-one care, which is why I only host one dog at a time. I follow each owner’s feeding routine and do not give dogs any human food. Small dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so I believe consistency is important. My goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable, clean, and healthy environment where every dog can feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Han was excellent. She constantly sent updates and was very easy to reach when needed, on top of following all of the instructions for my pup. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Erin and her family were wonderful with my dog. They were super welcoming and kept me up to date better than any other sitter we’ve used. They’ll be our new go to in the Northern VA area!”
““Jaelyn stepped in last minute to care for Nala after my sitter canceled, and I’m so grateful she did! While she didn’t proactively send pictures or updates, she always responded promptly whenever I checked in and clearly communicated how Nala was doing. She was incredibly patient and understanding with Nala while she experienced some stress-related accidents in a new environment with other dogs. Jaelyn answered all my questions thoughtfully, helping me understand and feel confident about Nala’s behavior. She is kind, sweet, and truly caring — I highly recommend her!””
“Jeannette took good care of LuLu during the stay, and sent multiple pictures updates. I will definitely recommend and will book again if I need a sitter in the future! Thanks again Jeannette!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burke
Mariel went above & beyond taking care of our 16 yr. old cairn terrier. She made sure Cinnamon was given all her medications, and taken on daily walks. She also gave recommendations for dog beds and supplements. Mariel even took Cinnamon to get her nails clipped because she noticed they were causing her discomfort. Mariel sent us updates, pictures, and videos of Cinnamon every day. We are grateful and relieved we found such a genuinely concerned sitter, so we could go visit a family member out of state.
Our two dogs were very loved and cared for while we were out of town for four days. Erika checked in every day, and sent pictures. Lucy and Bernice got a lot of love and attention, which was great because both the dogs having anxiety. It was also the dogs’ first time staying with Erika and family, and they did really well. Thank you.
Connor was amazing for our pup while we were away for a trip! I loved that she got such great one on one attention and care - plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. It was clear from the many photos (that we loved getting) that our dog was relaxed, happy, and having fun. We will absolutely book with Connor again!!
Rachel is the best! She was very patient and kind with my shy dog Fern and made a loving home for her while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates as well! I could tell my dog was relaxed and really enjoyed her stay. She got to cuddle up on every piece of furniture as part of the family!
Bonnie is wonderful! She always takes fantastic care of our lab, Maisy! Bonnie is great with communication and we appreciate the pictures and updates she sends. We can tell that Maisy loves her (and Charlie) and it means the world to us knowing that she is being loved and well cared for!
Shermane and Edouard were amazing with our dogs! They took great care of them and I received updates and photos every day. I could see that they were happy and they got plenty of walks despite the rainy weather. They were also very flexible with my schedule since I had to travel to the airport. They clearly know what they’re doing. I have two anxious dogs and I would feel very comfortable leaving them in their care again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Maisie and Luna.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Burke is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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 7,263 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burke. 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.
94% of sitters in Burke 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 Burke 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 Burke.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Burke 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.
