“Michelle and her family were great! From our initial meet and greet, we felt comfortable and knew Koda would be safe, well cared for, and having fun. Michelle kept us updated throughout his stay with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Koda came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely rebook with Michelle and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter!”
“We left Pojo with Sujan for little over 3 weeks. We got regular updates - pictures and messages on the walks, the foods and treats Sujan would make him.

She was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable, which we really appreciated. We received frequent updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our doggos in good hands. Communication was excellent; she was always quick to respond and super easy to coordinate with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Once again Winnie had a terrific time staying with Ann and Rick, their dogs and the dogs who also came to stay. She was through their front door and had disappeared playing with her pack before I could get to the kitchen with her food. The daily photos and updates reassured me that all was wear and freed me from worry so I could enjoy my holiday.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax Station
Brendan was absolutely amazing with Jim!! He sent daily updates, usually a few times a day, took such great care of him, exercised him, played with him, and was overall just so attentive and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jim will absolutely be going back to stay with Brendan in the future. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.
We had such a wonderful experience! John, Gretchen, and their wonderful family took such great care of our dogs and treated them like their own. We really appreciated the daily updates and adorable photos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would absolutely recommend them! ❤️🐾
Henry clearly cares a great deal about the dogs in his care. My two pups were happy and clearly loved Henry. I was impressed with his ability to walk four dogs together. I would highly recommend Henry to anyone who wants peace of mind while their precious pups are in his care.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Macy was in wonderful hands from start to finish and enjoyed her time with Emily, who is very friendly and incredibly communicative. We truly appreciated the attention and care Emily provided and would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Maren and her family took very good care of our two bulldogs, Mia and Baixa, while we were out of state for four days. Baixa, unfortunately, arrived with an intestinal upset, but Maren was unphased, and immediately arranged her space to accommodate the problem. I definitely would use Maren again to care for our dogs.

There are 7,350 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairfax Station. About 90% 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.

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.
