“Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!”
“Joanna and John treat our pup with the greatest attention and highest level of care. When our four legged family member is in their hands, we never have to worry.”
“Lydia did an outstanding job taking care of my little chihuahua, Penny. Penny has never been boarded before, and Lydia took excellent care of her. Lydia was very caring and sent me photos and videos every day. It was comforting to know that my Penny was in loving hands. Lydia, thank you so much.”
“Tatiana was amazing. Great communication and our dogs were very happy with her right away. One is a nervous pup, so this was really good. She sent photos and was flexible with us and our timing. ✨✨✨”
“Kaylyn and Naman were great! I received updates and photos throughout the week. I know our pup had a great time and was in good hands. Next time we go out of town, I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Nami took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. Communication was fantastic with daily updates and lots of pictures. She has a wonderful little dachshund, Hodu who is sweet and welcoming to both humans and other fur babies. Highly recommend and will be repeat borders!”
“Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️”
“Eun was really great, very responsive and kept us updated about Astro every day. Eun would also be very prompt in her response and took care of all Astro’s needs very well. I will be definitely booking her again. 🙂”
“Sierra was fantastic with my Bella. She texted me sent pictures and was giving my Bella so much loving. I never used this type service before but I would recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Nalleli and her family welcomed my baby girl Sinder like one of the family! It gave me the peace of mind during my travels and I would definitely recommend trusting her with your fur babies! I got many photos and updates and she was super happy and loved! Thank you Nalleli!”
“We are so happy to have found Iryna and James to take care of our girl Piper. Iryna was so caring and thoughtful in watching what Piper liked and needed. We got so many pictures and videos and they made us feel so comfortable about how Piper was doing and getting along with her new friends. Their property is lovely and there's a great neighborhood for walks. We will definitely use them again whenever we travel.”
“This is our second time leaving our furbaby, Peach, with Poornima and she did a wonderful job looking after her! Poornima sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Her dog, Arjun (also lovingly known as Joe!!), is very sweet and the best pup friend Peach could ask for. We highly recommend Poornima as she is an amazing and attentive sitter!!!”
“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!”
“Mei provided great care for our Cooper. We had a last minute medical issue right before we left and she provided his care wonderfully and kept us updated. Would definitely recommend Mei and would rebook again.”
“Liane is amazing! Our dog, Muki, had some medical issues arise during her stay and Liane handled everything as if Muki was her own dog. We were highly impressed with her quick action, flexibility and attentiveness during this situation as we were out of the country and unable to handle any of it ourselves. Very few would be able to handle this the way she did. We will always book with Liane!”
“Nawarat did an amazing job with Hazel. Hazel is an anxious dog but she warmed up to them very quickly. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of her which is very appreciated!”
“Just like last time, Toffee loved his time with Ninfa. She is very attentive and sweet and Toffee was super excited when we approached her home which just confirms how well he was taken care of.”
“Elena was great with my Bernese Mountain dog. He got lots of walks and attention, and Elena sent many photos and videos. Will be booking with Elena again as soon as I finish this review!”
“Carl did an amazing job looking after our cat, Kirby! He frequently sent us updates and pictures while we were away which we appreciated greatly. I recommend Carl to any and all pet parents looking for someone reliable, kind, and caring to look after their fur baby. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. 😊”

Aastha and her family cared for my dog, Pepper, for four and a half days, and I was blown away by the love and attention they gave her. They played with her every day, took her on multiple walks, and sent me daily pictures of their outings. They even included her in their Halloween fun and dressed her up in a costume! I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving hands. I’ll definitely book with Aastha again for my next trip and highly recommend her and her family!
Sydney was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog. I appreciate Sydney being flexible and helping me out on short notice. She took really great care of my dog and sent me lots of picture updates while I was away, which I appreciated a lot. My dog looked very happy and got lots of exercise and cuddles
This is our second time having Daphne sit Bryce, and they were absolutely AMAZING with him! Kept in touch everyday with great communication, pictures, and asked questions when they were ever concerned about anything. She was able to accommodate to his needs and was so flexible that it made everything such a weight off of our shoulders. Bryce felt more than comfortable, he was right at home!! We would 10/10 recommend her to anyone who needs sitting services, especially if she’s able to be available for you. No complaints, concerns, regrets..just puts you right as ease about your fur baby while you’re away and that’s such a huge help. Thank you so much!!! Again and again, we will always appreciate you, your time, efforts, and dedication to making sure they’re treated as if they’re your own!!
Shushmita is so warm-spirited. My daughter and I sensed it right away when we met her and her pup Niko. She watched my dogs while we were on a family vacation in another state. She sent us photos and videos and responded to my many check-ins. She even cooked for them when they ran out of the bland diet I supplied. They are both thoroughly spoiled! I will definitely book with her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dulles is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $78 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dulles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Dulles 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 Dulles 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 Dulles.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dulles. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dulles 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
