“John and Johanna were so wonderful with our sweet Teddy. He had such a fun time playing with Penny. I would absolutely recommend John and Johanna. They are so caring and interactive with the pets they care for. They sent many photos and videos as well as daily reports. I had such peace of mind leaving him with them for my wedding weekend.”
“Rebeca was the sweetest! She took care of Loki at the last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful! She had a big yard which he loved. She sent updates daily. He seemed so happy to be there. I would definitely take him back.”
“Another fantastic stay with Andrea! Luffy is doing wonderfully, and Leia of course enjoys every stay. Thank you so much again, Andrea, and we’ll see you again soon! :)”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Jim did it again for us! He took care of our dog, Keetna once again. Jim has become a home away from for him. It makes it so much easier to leave him when we can trust Jim with his care (and some loving on him).”
“This was the second time we left Bailey with Heather and he practically ripped my arm off racing from the car to her front door, which is exactly what we wanted. It is important to us that Bailey is excited to visit and feels comfortable when we're away and Heather provides that and more. Heather boarded more than Bailey this particular weekend and she took such great care to make sure he didn't get too worn out playing and had time away from the other pups to rest. We just love the care she provides!”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!”
“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”
“I'm so pleased with how well Veronica cared for Baxter. He made new friends and I think he's a little bummed to be home! When I arrived to pick him up she was taking him and her dog for a nice walk, we passed them on the way to her house. He looked happy. I have no complaints and would use her again.”
“Suzi was so great with our 16 year old, senior pup. We were nervous at first since we don’t often have others watch Roxy. Suzi was very patient with her and gave us regular updates and pictures, which we really enjoyed and appreciated. She even went out of her way to purchase additional wet food for Roxy (we sent her with wet and dry). We know Roxy enjoyed herself. Would highly recommend!”
“Second stay for the pups with Corey and it keeps getting better and better. The communication is amazing, pictures and videos are always our favorite and we know the pups have an amazing time. They never look back when we drop them off and immediately start to have fun! Can’t wait to keep coming back ☺️”
“Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.”
“Wyatt came highly recommended from a dog park friend, who also uses Wyatt's services. We left our dog Maggie with Wyatt for a week and Maggie looked great and happy to see us when we picked her up. We received daily updates and pictures from Wyatt to let us know how Maggie was doing which put our mind at ease. Overall, I would recommend Wyatt's service to anyone who is looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Parker really enjoyed her stay with Andrew and his family! She came home very happy and relaxed. Andrew was a great communicator, sharing lots of updates and cute pictures. He made sure she was comfortable at all times and ensured she was okay sleeping on the first level when she showed apprehension at the stairs. As an experienced dog-owner, Andrew was confident regarding Parker's specific care instructions and ensured she had all her meds and food. I am looking forward to booking Andrew again, I know Parker will be excited to spend more time there!”

Melissa was a professional, punctual, and dedicated dog sitter. Our 2½-year-old English Golden Retriever stayed at her spacious home for two weeks. She has a modest backyard, and the neighborhood is perfect for nice, long walks. Throughout his stay, Melissa kept us updated with everything we needed to know and sent us photos, allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dog. We highly recommend her services! 🐶❤️
Linda took great care of our dog, Goldie. It was really nice to have her at a home that only boards one dog at a time as I think multiple dogs can become overwhelming. Linda’s dog, Lucky, is very sweet and I know Goldie enjoyed having Lucky as a playmate. Linda kept in touch with us and sent photos of Goldie during her stay. It was nice to have peace of mind about our dog being taken care of in a loving home while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clifton on Rover is $34.09 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,045 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clifton. 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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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 Clifton.
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 Clifton 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.
