“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“David has been excellent at communication and keeping us up-to-date on a regular basis, sending us pictures, giving Denver his meals on time, taking him for walks and playing with him. Denver had a fun time staying at his place. On our day of pick up, he did not want to return home and he kept going back towards David’s home. Haha! It just shows how well he was taken care of. We will be using David’s services in the future as well.”
“Leslie was an amazing support to our family when we needed to travel for an extended period of time. Roxy had a BLAST! Leslie and her family took her to multiple dog parks, helped with medication management, and went above and beyond for our girl. We are so thankful!”
“Han was very accommodating and gave me tons of updates while I was away!! Super easy to get in contact with, schedule a meet and greet, and was very welcoming of my old man! Will definitely recommend and book again if I have another trip!”
“JR is a fantastic care giver and a dog lover through and through. JR watched our 2 big dogs (Chesapeake Bay Retriever and a Karakachun) on 2 occasions. He worked with our shy dog to gain her trust and adjusted exercise routines to accommodate our senior dog. JR sent lots of pictures and updates and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times - especially when our train got delayed and our pick up was very late. We will use JR again and again.”
“This was Jif’s first stay for multiple nights with Erin. She provided lots of updates & great pictures. Jif came home just as happy, if not happier than when I had dropped him off.”
“Chaoran did an amazing job watching Koa! We definitely will be using her again. She kept us informed and provided a safe place for our boy while we were gone away. Koa had a wonderful time playing with the other dog and we are so glad he had a good time! Thank you, Chaoran !”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”
“Ron and his family, including Loki, gave Winston the gift of an amazing walk-filled weekend. Winston loved having out in the backyard sniffing our squirrels. Winston gives Loki and Loki's humans five stars!!”
“Melissa did a great job watching our two dogs for a week. She was very responsive and asked good questions to ensure she understood each of their individual needs”
“My pup’s stay with Cindy was absolutely wonderful! Cindy was communicative, flexible, sent frequent updates and pictures, AND provided special care for my special needs girl. She and her husband are kind, friendly people who clearly love dogs. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend to anybody!”
“Ezzy had a great time hanging out with two fellow shelties at Amanda’s. We had an opportunity to do a meet and greet so Ezzy could smell all the yard smells and get to know the other dogs and Amanda. Amanda provided us photos and updates throughout Ezzy’s stay. Thank you to Amanda and her family for being wonderful hosts.”
“Sophie and Austin did an AMAZING job caring for our pups. We felt a peace of mind throughout our trip thanks to frequent pics/videos and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Tracie was able to watch Flurry at the last minute. She was super responsive, sent us photos and videos, and kept us up to date while he was with her. Her family made Flurry feel at home and we knew he was in great hands. Highly recommend and we will use her again!”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“We were thankful to have Laurie and Richard for our dog sitters. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We had plenty of pictures and updates and it was a good experience!”

I had a great experience with Jinghan! She took wonderful care of Momo and was very responsive throughout the stay. She kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m very happy with her care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Mariel was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Maple while we were away and treated her like part of the family. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated! She also took Maple on fun outings and spoiled her with special treats like pup cups. It was so clear from all the updates that Maple was having the best time and felt completely comfortable with Mariel and her family. We also really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maple was in such loving hands. We would absolutely book with Mariel again and highly recommend her!
Erika did a fantastic job watching Luna and Frida!! Highly responsive, accommodating, and made our pups feel completely at home. We loved receiving regular photo updates and text check-ins throughout the day, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs came home happy and well-rested. We will absolutely use their services in the future!"
My dog Bella is always happy to go see Brendan, and I am always happy knowing she is getting attention and being well taken care of. I love the great communication, many photo reports and ease of scheduling with Brendan. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
Claire and Simon were wonderful about keeping us reassured that our pup was doing well. We were very happy with the care they provided and, most importantly, felt that our puppy was happy, healthy, relaxed, and genuinely welcomed into their home. We'd happily book with them again!
We cannot thank Na-young enough for taking such wonderful, loving care of Maddy! Maddy can be a bit of a picky eater, and Na-young was so patient and attentive with her throughout the stay. When Maddy wasn't eating much on one of the days, Na-young was completely transparent with me right away. She reached out to ask if there were any tips to get her to eat or if this was just typical behavior for Maddy sometimes. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing how closely Na-young was watching over her. She treated Maddy like absolute family—she and her husband were even sweet enough to let Maddy sleep in bed with them, which I know Maddy adored! If you're looking for a communicative, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I cannot recommend Na-young enough. Thank you!
GREAT SITTER AND VERY ATTENTIVE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She took excellent care of Atlas! I mentioned that he sometimes accidentally pees on his leg and that, with previous sitters, he has come home with staining on his white fur. Not this time! Atlas came home just as clean and white as he was when I dropped him off! 🥰 It’s the little details like this that show how attentive and caring she is. I truly appreciate the extra care she took with my baby and would absolutely recommend her!

There are 7,416 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairfax Station. About 91% of Fairfax Station 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
