“Christine did wonderful with my pup Maddy! Maddy was so happy and I could tell was loved on the whole weekend. Would definitely recommend and rebook! Thank you so so much!”
“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”
“Kerstyn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to our dog, took the time to give me updates on how he was doing each day and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable (given he has a lot of anxiety). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to have our dog stay with her again. Our dog Wilson came home more happy than ever! Thanks so much Kerstyn!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Leo! John was absolutely amazing — from the very start he was super responsive and so kind. Leo can be picky about rain, lazy when it’s hot, and a little particular about his eating (clean dish every time!), but John handled everything so wonderfully. He made sure Leo got his walks (adjusting for weather!), gave him all the love, and kept us constantly updated with sweet photos and notes that really gave us peace of mind while we traveled. Coming home to such a happy and relaxed pup says it all. Truly grateful for the care, attention, and thoughtfulness John showed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to love their pup like family!”
“Great sitting service! She accepts last minute bookings. I am a busy, busy, young mom & professional. Barely have time to leave a review, but because her service is great, I took my time to do so. Thank you! Lady & Sierra love you!”
“Katerine and Brian were fantastic taking care of our two rowdy dogs. We cannot thank them enough for the love and care they showed them, and how communicative they were while we were out of town. We definitely recommend them.”
“Amazing caregivers! My dog had a fantastic staycation and they treated my pup like family. Fantastic communications and timely updates. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM 😊👍🏻”
“Once again a 12/10 experience with Sandra and her nice family! My puppy was so excited to see her again and she took amazing care of him and sent many updates!! Definitely recommend!”
“Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.”
“Jason and Becky gave my dog the highest level of attention and care. My dog is a shepherd mix with relatively high energy. They took the best care of him while I was gone for a few days.”
“Indy seemed to have a great time with Byamba and his family. They took him on morning and evening walks. Also sent pics from time to time. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Indy!”
“Nadia & her family took great care of my 2yo Canaan. They have a big backyard & took her for more walks than we ever do! Honestly our pup may have been sad to leave! Great communication & would definitely reach out again.”
“Tehani did a phenomenal job at taking care of our pup while we were away on a trip. We were given frequent updates and we can tell she really treats our pup with love. Would highly recommend her services!”
“Alyce was an awesome weekend sitter for our older German Shepherd! She sent lots of pics and videos and was very communicative with meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. Would definitely recommend to others!”
“Isabelle and her family took wonderful care of Dash! They were very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Her mom especially is a sweetheart and it was clear he was loved on the whole time! I would trust him with them again in a heartbeat.”
“Nyla was a fantastic host to Polly, my miniature schnauzer, for several days and evenings. She was caring, attentive, and offered a safe and loving home. She communicated daily, sending pictures and updates on how Polly was doing. This is my first time boarding Polly, and I feel SO fortunate to have found Nyla. Will absolutely request her services in the future!”
“Andrew was great! Our dog stayed with Andrew and his dog(s) and our dog loved playing with the other dogs all day. I would definitely board our dog with Andrew in the future.”

Susan was so great with my dog! Emy had trauma in her early life before we rescued her so she can be very anxious around new people. Susan was so patient with her and when we picked her up I think she listened and behaved better for Susan than she did for us! LOL. Our dog really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in the house and LOVED the big, fenced in backyard.
Megan was amazing with Bentley! She sent a ton of photos, videos, and updates on how he ate and slept throughout the weekend. She made sure Bentley got lots of walks and exercise even with the rain. Bentley had a blast! Thank you Megan for taking great care of him and sending so many updates!
Mia and her dad, Hector, took great care of our dogs! They were very attentive, responsive, and kept us updated throughout the day with their potty breaks, feeding, and sleeping schedule. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend them and would definitely book with them again!
There really aren't appropriate words to describe how wonderful Ellie is! We left our baby with her for the longest period of time we had been away in his 7 years recently (almost two weeks), and Ellie went to the moon and beyond for him and us, making sure we were comfortable and his every need was taken care of.. so much so, I admit I was a bit worried he would not want to come home! In the months leading up to our trip, she was very accommodating with our meet and greets, helping ensure he was familiar with her and the environment before he arrived for his first day. After we left, she sent numerous photos and videos, and a detailed summary of their daily activities each day, so we could clearly see all the fun they were having, which made us feel much better. In addition, he came home a "new pup"- it was almost as if Ellie was our own personal trainer! He walks on his leash better, has better manners, and finally behaves himself around other dogs... suffice it to say, he enjoyed HIS "vacation" with Miss Ellie and that helped us enjoy ours. We have finally found "our person", as well as a good friend, and are so glad we did!
Allison and Evan once again provided the absolute best care for our sweet boy. We are all so lucky we found them. They treat Jax like their own. Allison provides daily updates and we know he’s in the best of hands when he’s with them. Thank you both again for loving on our sweet boy while we were gone. He already misses you and is looking forward to his next stay.
This was our first time leaving Murphy with a sitter while we traveled. Mee Jeong took great care of Murphy and sent pictures and updates every day. She is very responsive and Murphy clearly felt very comfortable with her and Daisy. Excellent experience; we will definitely book with Mee Jeong again!
Flip absolutely loved staying with Roxanna and her family! They were so welcoming and made him feel right at home. He was so well taken care of and had such a great time with Izzy & they got along so well! I really appreciated all the love and care they gave Flip. Definitely recommend Roxanna and her family! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Falls Church on Rover is $66.6 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,507 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Falls Church. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Falls Church sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Falls Church landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Falls Church home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Falls Church.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Falls Church sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
