“This was my pups first time staying with Mickey and friends and it was great! Mickey’s years of experience working with dogs and friendly demeanor with my pups, made me feel comfortable having them stay over. This was the first time in a while we were away from our pups so I was a bit anxious, but Mickey’s updates with pictures were very reassuring! Would definitely have him watch them again soon!”

“Carlos went above and beyond in the care and love he provided my dogs. They were regularly walked throughout the day and enjoyed their time with his dog, Sasha. He sent me many, many photos and videos showing them eating heartily, walking the sidewalks, and sleeping soundly. I highly recommend Carlod to others. You will have peace of mind.”

“Sarah has been such a great sitter to our super energetic and playful dog, Tex. She is patient and kind and always sends us updates which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Thanks for being so wonderful to our dog, Sarah!”


“We were very pleased with the service provided to our baby…this was our first experience so I was a bit nervous, but Vronnie arranged a meet and greet and was very loving in her disposition. She had a schedule and plan that worked well with our needs. She’s in a beautiful community that is also dog friendly…we received daily photos which made things easier as well…I’d highly recommend Vronnie!”

“Jessica did a great job. She sent lots of pictures and even dressed him up for the holiday. Bogey didn’t want to leave at first cause he had so much fun. Bogey fell asleep as soon as he got home from all the fun he had.”

“Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!”

“Amber and her family took great care of my fur baby, Marley. I was so hesitant to find last-minute care, but Amber was able to meet with us and put my worries at ease. She sent photos and was very responsive and attentive. I would definitely book her in the future and I recommend everyone else to do so as well.”

“I just had my dogs at her house for this weekend. She was amazing. She picked up my dogs from my house and even dropped them off for me. She is very flexible and will work with you. She sent me pictures throughout the day without even me having to ask, which shows that she really cares. They were able to play outside in her yard with the other pups and she made my pups feel like they were home away from home. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it!! Look no further, Vanessa is your girl!!”

“Willie had a blast with Marina and family. She was able to channel her puppy energy into her two pups who were so kind and snuggly with her. I am so happy to have found someone in Woodbridge who is so trustworthy and kind to help while I am out of town! Thank you Marina!”

“MARCELA was amazing! She not only did the pick up and drop off, our German Shepherd returned with a shiny coat and calm demeanor. She shared pictures every day and made sure I was comfortable 24/7! I’m sooo grateful for her and highly recommend her services...”

“Grant and Yunrui were outstanding caring for our dog for over 10 days. They were kind, responsive, responsible, and flexible. Our dog, who can be challenging in that she does not like other dogs and is skeptical of strangers, quickly warmed up to Grant and Yunrui. They kindly cared for our dog, walking her several times a day, playing with her often, and even helping to settle her stomach and otherwise calming her. 10/10 rating for them! Will be using them again for our dog (13 years old Austrian Cattle Dog Mix). Look no further if you want the best care for your pet!”

“My dog had a great stay with Jessica! She closely follows care instructions and spends time catering to the dog's needs. She also sent pics and updates throughout the stay which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”

“I can’t recommend Anthony and his wife enough! They took such incredible care of my dog Nikki while I was away, and it was clear from the start that he was in warm, loving hands. From the thoughtful updates to the genuine affection they showed him, I could tell they treated him like one of their own. Anthony went above and beyond, paying attention to all of Nikki’s little quirks and needs. He shared tips, routines, and even small things like what Nikki enjoyed on walks or in his meals—which was so thoughtful and helpful. They also noticed a grooming need and let me know with care and kindness, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Nikki was not only safe and happy, but also adored. He clearly had such a fun time and bonded with them—he’s already missing them! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Anthony and his wife are it. I would absolutely book with them again without hesitation!”

“Penjulee Was very professional and friendly. Did a great job with Amir. With it being Amir’s first time wit her he was a little standoffish, but overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“David and his family were great care givers of Jack, they sent numerous update photos and he always seemed to be very happy and having a great time! We would recommend David and his family!”

Ana was very sweet. It was my dog's first time with her and she had a great time. Ana let Godiva take her time to warm up to her and feel comfortable, she took her on walks, and also let her play with her pup. Ana was very communicatove and sent me photos, My dog enjoyed her stay! I will definitely be using Ana again.

Michelle and her family took really great care of our Fiona! She definitely enjoyed her time there especially with the kids! Michelle provided photos and updates on Fiona’s seven day boarding and was super easy to reach to for any questions we may have. Thank you Michelle and family for giving our Fiona the extra love, care, and attention while we were away ❤️

Bryant and the family were outstanding. They took such great care of my fur baby Chance. They gave constant updates and videos of their interactions and having fun with the doggie! They were by far my he best caregivers we have ever had using Rover. I definitely recommend them and hopefully they will be available for the next time. Thanks again for taking such good care of Chance!!!

We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️

What a relief that I found Nancy! I knew from the moment we met that she genuinely loves and cares about dogs!! She took great care of our little guy, sent multiple pictures daily during his stay, and made everything so easy. We found a winner and will absolutely seek her out again!

Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.

Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!

This was my first time using Rover while going out of town and Melissa did an amazing job making sure I was comfortable from the meet and greet prior and all the updates/ pictures throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for good care for your furry friend :)

Theodora was a last minute lifesaver for me as I had a last minute work trip and needed a sitter. She was friendly and professional and took the time to understand my pup’s care. She is also the most communicative sitter I’ve had as I received daily messages and photos of him. Highly recommend her!

Mike & his wife were fantastic sitters for Charlie! They were happy to schedule a meet-&-greet beforehand between their dog (Deji) & Charlie at a nearby park and were super easy to talk to about care instructions. They went above and beyond with taking Charlie on nature adventures and didn't miss a beat with sharing frequent picture/video updates of Charlie. I was confident they took great care of Charlie and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Dale City on Rover is $44.4 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 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 6,796 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dale City. About 91% of Dale City 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.
