âKatie always does a great job with my dogs! She has watched them multiple times, and she takes great care of them. She is responsive to messages as well, and sends picture updates! I would definitely recommend her services.â

âI boarded my sweet 9mo Cavalier puppy with Tricia for a weekend, and it was obvious she had the best time! Daisie looked so happy in each picture Tricia sent and was the sleepiest Iâve ever seen when I picked her up. She had a blast! It was Daisieâs first boarding so I was nervous how she would do, but it all went great. And I appreciated how accommodating Tricia was to my somewhat last minute booking and changing meet/pickup times. It gave me such peace of mind on my trip to know Daisie was being so well cared for. Will be booking again!â

âAinura was absolutely amazing! I had to find a sitter for my new puppy on very short notice and she responded super fast and accepted the job. It was my first time using the Rover app and Iâm so grateful it worked out so well. She took incredible care of little Khaleesi and sent loads of photos showing her playing and having a great time for the week. Iâm definitely reaching out to Ainura next time I need a sitter :)â

âEverything went well with drop off and pick up. He was watching another dog also, I was nervous at first because the other dog seemed a little aggressive. He assured me that they would be alright. He sent updates. He's friendly. I would recommend him and also will be using again.â


âMegan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.â

âMonte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.â


âFinnâs second time with Holly and he ran right inside when we dropped him off like it was his own house! He was so excited to be there and hang with Millie which makes us feel so good leaving him. Thanks again, Holly!â

âGreat family! I highly recommend Debbie and her husband Randy!! My dog, Pushok, had the best time during his stay, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Very reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about animal care, sending updates and photos regularly.â

âMichelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.â

âGabrielle was wonderful to work with and despite this being the first time we used her, we felt comfortable with her right away. She clearly has experience and is loving and caring. I knew Max was in excellent hands. Max had a great time and made a new friend in Jetson. Gabrielle was great about sending pictures throughout our vacation and little updates. I now have a new back up sitter for Max.â


âStephanie and her family were great with our dog! She was very communicative and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands while I was away.â

âPaige was great with communicating, on time for drop off and pick up and overall just a great fit for my pup. I truly feel like the universe brought her to me because both of our babies names are storm! I appreciate Paige so much and canât wait to book her again! My baby came back home healthy and happy!â

âKatie and her boyfriend were fantastic! They readily took my pup into their home for a night and weâre very prepared for all his energy. They kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay and gave me such peace of mind while I was out of town!â

âHeather was a great rover! She provided consistent updates and always looked like Mowgli was having a great time. Really appreciate all the help. Will reach out again the future. Thanks!â

âMegan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!â

About: Iâve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. Iâm dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while youâre away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a clientâs home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.
âTheir family was wonderful and very caring for my dog Tundra! I give them an excellent rating, their home was inviting & loving towards my dog. They sent photos & kept me up to date. Thank you to them for their hospitality!â
âI would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when weâre away!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax
Susan was great! This was our first time using Rover and we werenât sure exactly what to expect. She answered of our questions and let us do a meet and greet first with her and Dakota. She kept us updated the whole time we were gone with pictures ! She and our dog liked kickball in the yard. We werenât sure exactly what time we would be back but she was able to be flexible and let us keep her posted as the day went on. We would definitely recommend Susan and stay with her again!

Jenny was an amazing sitter with lots of love and patience! My dog Max had a bit of anxiety being in a new place (on top of his high energy). Jenny was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to help him cope. Max ended up having a great time. I highly recommend her!!!

We were very happy with the level of care and communication that Taylor and Brian provided during Mellie's stay with them. They provided regular updates and pictures. It's clear that they love their dogs and that they extend that level of care to their guests. We would be extremely comfortable leaving Mellie with them in the future!

Hanna was absolutely excellent while watching Indy last weekend. She provided frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Indy was well cared for the entire time. I could tell Indy was in great hands, and that meant everything to me. I would highly recommend Hanna and would gladly trust her again in the future!

Dion was wonderful with my little Maltese. He had never stayed over at another person's house before and is really anxious in new surroundings. Dion did two small sessions with him before our trip and we came home to a happy little dog. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fairfax on Rover is $40.66 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 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 828 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairfax. About 93% of Fairfax sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre 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 petâs personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in OH 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, youâre 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, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
