“Once again, Christine takes the cake for giving our pup Brie the most amazing weekend! Brie had a wonderful time with Christine and friends, and Christine takes her health and safety seriously so that I never needed to worry about her and could enjoy the weekend away. Thanks to Christine for always being the very best! Highly recommend!”
“Katerine and family were wonderful to my precious Joi. This was our first boarding experience where I needed overnight sitting at the last minute. There were much space and accommodations for Joi. I highly recommend!”
“Very nice, and caring. I felt safe and secure leaving my baby with Roxanna and her family. Bella came back with new extra energy from making a new friend in their dog. Roxanna communicates well and often which was reassuring while I was awhile from my baby. She is great!”
“Nia had such a good time with Alexis and Andy and their boys. When I dropped her off I was immediately comforted by their introduction. Their fenced in back yard was exactly what Nia needed! They sent pictures and updates to let me know how Nia’s stay was going. I will definitely be using them again if I need someone in the future!”
“Byamba and family did a great job watching Banjo for us, communicating throughout his stay, and sending us pictures daily. We appreciate them helping us in a quick bind! They were very kind, walked Banjo twice a day, and spoiled him!”
“Our puppy Cavapoo Tia stayed at Andy for 5 nights during thanksgiving break. Andy was great sharing daily pictures. The stay was smooth and we would use Andy again for future needs.”
“Miloș had a great week at Andrew’s. It’s always hard leaving him in a new place, but Andrew did a great job putting our nerves at ease. He takes care of the dogs like they are his own and even had some photo updates along the way. We are grateful for the care he received, and would happily come back for another visit.”
“This was my puppy’s first time away from home and he could not have been in better hands! Mary gave us regular updates and tons of pictures and Obi had an absolute blast. She was so patient and understanding with all of his puppy quirks and high energy level. We were a little nervous about how he’d be in a new environment but Mary’s house is set up so well for the dogs with a huge fenced in backyard as well. I know Obi can’t wait to go back!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Charlie while we were away! Guy was able to watch Charlie when other plans fell through last minute. Appreciate his responsiveness and flexibility!”
“Ruidi took wonderful care of my pitbull mix Sunny. She sent lots of nice pictures during the stay, and she took the time to cook yummy chicken and broccoli for Sunny to enjoy. Sunny usually eats dog food. So I'm sure this was a lovely vacation for her. Ruidi is a loving and caring dogsitter, and I would recommend her!”
“Leah took wonderful care of our dog when we were out of town! It was our first time leaving the dog with someone on Rover, and she went above and beyond to keep us in the loop on how she was doing, and sent us pictures. We will definitely be wanting to book Leah again in the future!”
“Musa and his family were so good to our dog. She was very happy there and I really appreciated Musa and how communicative and thoughtful he was. I definitely plan to have my dog stay with him whenever we travel again!”
“Zosha was an amazing sitter. He was responsive from the outset and took the task seriously. He was flexible and communicative throughout our dog’s stay, creating total peace of mind while we were away. I plan to book with Zosha again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and responsible sitter.”
“Gail was such a great caretaker. We went over there ahead of time to do a meet and greet and to introduce our dog with her fur baby. Gail and Corky were great hosts and he came home very happy and with a present....some of his favorite treats he enjoyed while at Gail's.”
“Rey and Wilbur are treated like family by Lily and Eric - they are loved and cared for like they are their own pets. Their property is fully dog fun and safe with a fenced in suburban yard. We highly recommend them to watch your dogs!”
“Yiting arranged for a meetup with doggie Rex right away and was super flexible for drop off/pickup. She sent daily pics and videos as well as took care to ensure he stayed healthy and happy! Will definitely use her again.”
“Lowell is a fantastic sitter! This was Anna's first time away from home since she rescued me 16 months ago, and I honestly believe I missed her more than she missed me! She clearly was very well cared for, and had a blast playing with the other pups all day long. Lowell's own pups are very well behaved and so friendly. Lowell is clearly a natural with dogs, and loves them very much. I feel very comfortable leaving my Anna with Lowell and just hope he has availability the next time I need him!”

Mia and her dad,Hector were the best sitters for our (sometimes!) crazy puppy Malibu. It was our first time leaving on a week long trip without taking her, and Mia gave updates with pictures almost every day. I felt very relieved that we chose the right family to partner with. Everyone was very kind. We will definitely use them again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾😊
Always a joy having Banjo stay with Kevin and his amazing family. They do such an amazing job taking care of him and communicating with us. Feels like he’s almost always sad to leave them! They do a great job with daily updates and photos, and lots of snuggles. Thanks Kevin and fam!
Carmen was, without question, the best dog sitter I could have asked for! My old pup can be quite the grumpy little guy, but she treated him with so much patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She took him on walks, sent wonderful pictures, and accompanied each update with beautifully written notes that made me smile every time. It was clear she wasn’t just looking after him, she genuinely cared about him. Finding someone you can trust with an aging, sometimes difficult dog means the world, and Carmen went above and beyond in every way. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and I would absolutely trust her with my pup again!
I'm so grateful to Ellie for taking care of my little Bella! As always, she went above and beyond. When I had to pick up my dog later than originally planned, Ellie made her a special dinner of chicken and rice so she didn't have to miss her usual dinner time. And Ellie's whole family gives my little Bella love and attention, so she feels right at home whether she stays for one day or three.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Falls Church is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 7,536 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Falls Church can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Falls Church home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
