“My 2 dogs enjoyed their time with Jona. She sent lots of pictures and was great in communicating how they were doing while we were out of town. I’d recommend her to others all the time.”

“My puppy had a great long weekend with Barry and his wife! I received wonderful updates and communication, and sounds like she had such loving care. She's only 5 months old, so can be such a handful...but there were no complaints! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little girl!”

“She took care of my gizmo really well. Gizmo can be a hot mess sometimes and she took care of her really good. Jessica did well with keeping up with gizmos medication. We definitely be taking our other pets and gizmo back to her.”
“Taylor took excellent care of Betz while we had a night out. Taylor sent regular updates. Betz loved playing with Taylor’s dogs. We will definitely book with her the next time we are in the area.”

“My dog Sammy loves staying with Luz. Her dogs, Professor and Chickenleigh are very sweet and kept Sammy company during his stay. Luz was very attentive and sent me pictures everyday. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”


“Our 13 month old Goldendoodle stayed with Serena over a weekend. We received lots of pictures of her romping in the large backyard and playing with other dogs. I loved that Serena allows the dogs to roam the house when not playing outside. The goldendoodle temperament is one of pure affection towards all humans and Serena made sure that in addition to doggie socialization, there was time for cuddling at night (on her bed!!!). Our dog came home exhausted from a great weekend, but very calm and happy. I know Serena deserves this review, but I almost selfishly want to keep her place a secret ;)”

“Mickey, is a phenomenal dog sitter! Our gurl Socks loves when her Mommy & Daddy go out of town, she knows she will be well taken care of and have a wonderful time with Uncle Mickey lol he is apart of our family for sure.. I appreciate all the pictures and I feel comfortable that our gurl Socks is having a blast on her sleepover and enjoying her mini vacation with Mickey !!! Thanks so much Mickey continue to provide outstanding service!!!”

“It’s the second time Chili and Pepper stay with Chelsea-Jo and Austin, this time for two weeks. They are great! Took care of them, treated them as part of the family, sent texts and pictures everyday (great pictures by the way) and Chili and Pepper were happy and comfortable with them.”

“Second time I had my dog Willow stay with Veronica and she came back all happy and relaxed. Veronica is very friendly, loves dogs and I can tell how well cared for my dog is with her and her family!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog, Max, with Camila! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about it, but Camila handled it perfectly! She took great care of Max, and gave us feedback on how he was doing during his stay. If you are in the area, we highly recommend that you try her out!”

“Laurie was great with Oakley. She provided plenty of outside time and sent frequent updates with photos and videos. I could tell Oakley enjoyed her time with Laurie and her dogs.”

“David was wonderful when watching our Rosie Pickles! She is a little skittish around new people, but he clearly has a lot of experience around dogs and made her feel comfortable so quickly. He sent photos and videos each day and it looked like she was having a blast. I missed her but didn’t worry about her wellbeing for one moment during our vacation. We will definitely be using David again in the future! Thank you!”

“Hoa was great! Our dog was a happy pup staying with her. She had lots of toys for him to play with and puzzles to get treats! Very kind, loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away”

“Miguelina and her family took very good care of our pup Kiwi. Drop-off was smooth with lots of good questions about how best to care for our dog. She and her daughter sent daily pictures and gave status of how things were going. We would absolutely board out dog with Miguelina again.”

“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”

“Audree has been our number one dog sitter choice since we moved to the area. She is so great with our two dogs Bandit and Willow! We get tons of updates and pictures and can rest easy knowing they are in great hands with Audree. She is the best!”

“Jessie was absolutely amazing. She communicated with us throughout our trip and asked us questions if there were any uncertainties about their care. They had a nice sized backyard they could run around and I appreciated that she replicated the sort of accommodations they were used to in our home. When I went to pick up our dogs, she provided me with thorough updates and I could tell our doggies were pleased with her care. I would definitely book Jessie again!”

Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!

We had a great experience with Michael and Alaina and would absolutely book with them again! They have a beautiful, spacious home with a large fenced yard that gave our dogs plenty of room to run around and play. One of the highlights was that our dogs became great friends with their dog, Deji. They had so much fun playing together, and it was clear from the updates that everyone was getting along wonderfully. We also really appreciated the daily photos and videos they sent. Seeing our dogs happy, relaxed, and having a great time gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know they were safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Dale City on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 6,760 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dale City. About 90% 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.
