“Nancy was great with my dog Tucker!! He’s very high energy and can be a lot to handle but I’m pleased with her being so active with him to keep him occupied. She was very prompt with her pictures as well. I would definitely book her again!”
“Mila had an incredible time with David and his family, as always. There’s honestly no better compliment than seeing her come home both exhausted and a little sad—it’s the perfect sign she had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave. Thank you once again for taking such amazing care of her. Looking forward to next time!”
“Wyatt was super flexible with our overnight stay. We had two random emergencies with our house and had to delay our trip. Wyatt responded quickly and flexed to work with us! Best of all, Chili loves going over to their house. She is a bit sensitive and comes home happy and exhausted. Wyatt’s other dogs are always sweet and our dog has such a fun time playing with them!”
“Brianna was wonderful! She took great care of my dog for three days and sent me beautiful pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Brianna and would definitely trust her again. Thank you!☺️”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Kristi and Drew take such good care of our dog! They treat her like she’s one of the family, and I never have to worry about anything while we’re on vacation. I highly recommend them!”
“Katherine has been the absolute best for watching my baby! She takes such good care of him and sticks to his extra care needs. I love that she provides pictures and updates each day! Hes always so happy and comfortable when I arrive to pick him up!”
“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.”
“Amazing sitter. Loved seeing all the photos and videos of Rusty playing with other friends. Good communication and easy to work with. Loved to use your help in the future. Thank you Erika.”
“Helena and Nathan were awesome! I was initially worried to leave Raider with someone new but they were a godsend and came through for us. They were super flexible and accommodating and provided updates, pictures, videos. Raider enjoyed his time with their family and almost didn’t want to come home lol”
“Khristie was excellent with my dog Goose who is somewhat needy and shy. He was immediately comfortable around her and she took great care of him. He had a ton of quality cuddle and play time. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Christine has a fun, safe, and loving space for the dogs in her care. She limits the dogs she’s boarding, sends pictures, and gives feedback on how your pup is doing. Would definitely recommend Christine’s boarding services.”
“Heather is amazing! She watched over my dog for about a week. My dog has food allergies and is on a prescription diet. Heather followed directions and provided updates by communicating throughout her stay. I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”
“Marcela did an outstanding job taking care of our cat, Mystic. She kept us informed on how he was doing throughout our trip. It was obvious that he was well taken care of. We will use her services through Rover.com again.”
“Sujan is incredible. Very thoughtful, accommodating - sent many pictures and kept our dog well exercised. We really appreciate all you did in helping us by looking after him for two days. Highly recommend you and thank you dearly for opening your home to our dog. Thanks so much!”

Angelica has taken care of my pup multiple times and I’m always super happy with his care. She communicates well and sends pics so I feel good knowing my pups a happy healthy boy while I’m gone. She’s great to work with and I will definitely do so again in the future!
Wow! Erika was an amazing sitter. She was very communicative and caring. My pup gets anxious in new environments, and she worked with him through that transition. She is like a dog whisperer, she definitely knew what to do. She also shared photo and video updates throughout the stay. I would absolutely book with her again.
Our dogs had a great time with Tamara! We got lots of pictures and updates and our dogs always looked like they were having a great time. Tamara was also very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. It was the first time leaving our older dog, who has developed arthritis, and she listen to all our concerns and made sure our older dog was well taken care of.
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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fairfax Station on Rover is $47.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 7,381 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 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.
