Highly recommend them!”

We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falls Church
Monica watched my large, older, anxious dog for a week and was absolutely lovely. Handoff and pickup were super easy, and I got regular updates. In every photo sent, my dog was snuggled up on the couch and totally content. When I picked her up, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Would definitely book with her again!
Penny had a great stay with Zosha! Zosha has easy to coordinate with and offered to have a meet and greet. He was very responsive which was especially helpful with a last minute booking. He gave us updates on and sent pictures of Penny which made us happy to hear and see that she was being well taken care of while we were away. We would gladly have Zosha watch Penny in the future.
Ashley was a great sitter, very attentive and followed instructions well! Our dog’s allergies were giving him problems while he stayed with her and she promptly sent us photos and asked if he should be given his extra medication, which she administered with no problems. We felt reassured knowing our dog was in capable hands!
We are so very pleased to have found Helena and Nathan to take care of our little Sheltie, “Crystal”, when we go away. They are caring, experienced, and provide great daily updates and pictures/videos. Also, their home and property is ideal for dog boarding and doggie exercise. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again to pet-sit our four-legged baby.
Wonderful stay and a very kind family. I would request leaving my dog with them again with no hesitation. Proactively asked questions if there was even the slightest unknown as to how to best care for her. Frequent photos and detailed status updates that made a point of addressing my dogs quirks, reassuring me that all was well. She came home happy and adjusted easily.
Mia did an excellent job with my Clifford 85lb Golden Retriever. She was a very good communicator, and also very responsive. She sent a lot of pictures and I really loved her! I am from out of town ( Pensacola Fl.) and I wish she lived in my area. I have a sitter there that I am not as happy with, as I was with Mia. I highly recommend! Will use her whenever I bring my dog back with me.
This was the second time Roxanna cared for our dog Jea, and once again she exceeded every expectation. She keeps us updated throughout the stay, and clearly understands dog behavior and comfort. Jea settled in quickly and came home calm, well‑exercised, and clearly loved. Roxanna’s reliability and kindness make her an exceptional caregiver. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top‑tier pet care. Thank you again, Roxanna!
Daisy had a wonderful time at Susan’s. I was able to relax on vacation knowing she was well-cared for. She had outdoor time, snuggles on the chair, and was able to be around other dogs. There were enough rugs and they were able to work with Daisy being uncomfortable with slippery floors. Susan will be my first choice for future bookings.

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.
