“Amazing sitter! Second time using David and he goes above and beyond and really made peach feel at home! Always sent pictures and very easy to communicate with! My go to sitter!”
“Victoria and her whole family are so knowledgeable about animals and took such great care of my pups! I was out of the country and appreciated that she took the time to keep me updated, so I didn’t spend any time worrying if things were going okay. I will definitely be scheduling her again!”
“I highly recommend Jim K. My puppy Dexter appeared to have a great overnight stay. Jim kept me updated about how Dexter was adjusting via text and by sending me pictures throughout his stay. I would highly recommend using Jim and I look forward to booking with him again in the future!”
“Coco spent a week with Ann and Richard. I was updated with pictures and notes each day. They have a lovely backyard yard and Coco looked like he had a fabulous time. I enjoyed my own trip even more knowing Coco was so well cared for. I will definitely rebook with Ann and Richard again!! Thanks so so much!!”
“I highly recommend Sabine. She is very communicative and sends lots of photos. My little Brandy enjoys spending time with her and Sabine's little dogs who are well mannered. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jona was great. She sent very frequent updates and pictures each day. She was responsive and thoughtful with her care. Mochi usually doesn’t eat while we are away, but he ate all his food while staying with Jona. I think that says something about her! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Gail was very accommodating to our schedule. She sent multiple updates throughout the day which put our mind at ease. Casper loved cozying up to her and he had a great time during his stay. We would definitely use Gail again.”
“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”
“Zahra was great, sent a nice video of the dogs enjoying the backyard and was very prompt with pickup and dropoff and communication. Really felt like dogs were well cared fo while we were out of town. Highly recommend.”
“We really appreciated being able to do a trial overnight - Banks has been a bit sensitive with sitters in the past, so that meant a lot to us. Everything went smoothly, and it was clear he was well cared for. He came back happy and completely exhausted from all the play, which is always a great sign! Thanks again for working with us on the trial and taking such good care of our boy!”
“Bori had such a great time with this lovely couple! They provided so many updates with photos and videos. You can tell my dog had the best time ever! She came back looking super happy. Will definitely consider them again in the future!”
“This was our first time boarding at a Rover's house and Carolyn and family were a great fit for our senior girl with medication needs. She was very communicative with us and quickly troubleshooted an issue with us. We would definitely have our pup stay here again.”
“My pup Nikko stayed with Corey for almost a week and he had a blast there! He came home super exhausted. Corey was great at letting me know how he was doing every day and super responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Tamara was wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️”
“10/10 experience! I genuinely feel like Cocoa found her second family. They were absolutely amazing with her from start to finish and treated her like she was one of their own. I received regular updates throughout the weekend, which made me feel so comfortable and reassured knowing she was happy, safe, and being completely spoiled with love and attention. You can tell they truly care about the dogs they watch and do so much more than just “pet sit.” They made Cocoa feel at home, and that means everything to me. I never once felt worried or uneasy while she was with them while away on my trip because they were so attentive and communicative. I honestly could not have asked for a better family to care for my girl. They did a phenomenal job, and I am beyond grateful to have found people I can genuinely trust with her. I will absolutely be using them again in the future and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for loving, dependable, and trustworthy pet care. Cocoa was clearly in the best hands, and I know she will be so excited to go back! 🐾❤️”
“Samantha's mom, Leslie, watched my dog Miso for a few days. I could tell Miso was very happy staying overnight and Leslie provided regular updates on a daily basis to make me feel at ease. ☺️ Samantha and Leslie are great and I would definitely recommend! I will definitely be happy to have Miso stay with them again in the future.”
“Marcela and her family took great care of my two cats and one dog while I was away for nearly 10 days. She sent me updates each day and I can tell my pets bonded with her and were very comfortable. Great communication and ease of drop off + pick up. 10/10 would book her again!”
“My two sibling dogs so enjoyed staying with Hoa! As always, they got excited in the car knowing we were on our way. Hoa lets them run around and chase each other in her fenced back yard to their heart's content. Hoa provides toys, treats and interaction in a fun environment. Chewy and Reggie love "camp" at Hoa's house. I can travel in peace knowing they are safe and happy.”
“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!!!”
“Remy looked like he was very comfortable and happy with Andrew and his family! It was great to get some fun photo updates and hear how well Remy did settling in and being well taken care of.”

Serena is wonderful with our Millie! She is caring, reliable, and treats the pups like her own. We feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in such good hands. In fact, Millie has more fun at Serena's house than ours! Highly recommend Serena...you truly cannot find a better sitter!
Happy to leave my review. Gigi was in wonderful care with Melanie, she came home happy, relaxed, and very much her playful self, running around and stretching like she always does. She was clearly comfortable and well looked after. I’ll continue having Melanie care for Gigi.
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.
Claire and Simon were amazing with Luna! We felt like she was taken care of so well and it looked like it was her second home from how comfortable she was. Claire gave updates and pictures everyday to put our mind at ease that Luna was doing well. We will definitely be using them again with our next trip!
Josephine is my go-to sitter! This was my pups third stay with her and it’s so comforting to know they are well cared for when I’m away. After a big storm, Josephine even went over to my house to make sure no big branches fell on the place. She truly goes above and beyond!
I highly recommend Brendan to care for your dog. He is incredibly caring, responsive, and flexible. My dog, Duke, had a wonderful time staying with Brendan and especially loved the long walks. Brendan kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind and confidence that Duke was happy, well cared for, and enjoying his stay while we were away.
We had an excellent experience with Chris and Ellen. They were friendly, communicative, and clearly attentive to our senior dog Macy’s needs. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us real peace of mind knowing Macy was comfortable, cared for, and in such good hands. They have a very friendly dog of their own and you can tell they genuinely love and understand dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.
Leigh is amazing! She truly loves dogs and welcomes them into her home as if they’re her own. My senior dog wasn’t eating well the first two nights so Leigh paid extra close attention and tried a few tricks to get her to eat and it worked! My dog had a wonderful and relaxing time staying at her home. She also has a big fenced in yard that was perfect for my hound who loves smells. We will absolutely use Leigh again for boarding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fairfax Station on Rover is $47.57 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 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. 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.
