“Christine is the best! She’s watched my dog several times now, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in great hands. The backyard is a huge bonus and gives her plenty of space to run and play, which she loves. Christine is great about sending updates and photos, which I always really appreciate. It’s clear my dog feels right at home there, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Katerine was fantastic - she’s a naturally very kind person and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pics and shared updates throughout our week long trip. At pick up, she gave a great rundown of the week and our dog seemed quite happy. She has a nice, fenced in backyard and a nice, grassy area for walks. All around, a great Rover experience.”
“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”
“Helena and Nathan took great care of Tokki while we were out of the state for a week and a half. They sent daily pictures, and I could tell they made feel Tokki feel right at home and he had a great time. Thanks again!”
“Laurie and Richard took excellent care of my senior pup, who was very relaxed throughout her stay. I would definitely use their services again.”
“John was the most attentive care taker! He took Murph on so many adventures and captured so many photos, I felt like I was there! Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much.”
“Jose took great care of Oliver during his weekend stay! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and shared great photos and videos throughout the stay! His home is clean and communication was quick. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵”
“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our dog. Even though our dog was anxious about being in a new environment, Isabelle and her parents went above and beyond trying to make him more settled and comfortable in his environment, and kept us updated along the way. Would recommend!”
“Amazing care. She sent pictures of my dog everyday. She even let me extend last minute which was appreciated. He had an amazing time with her and I will be rebooking with her. Thank you again.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Veronica is awesome! I have used her twice now, and will continue to use her whenever she is available! Our pup was happy to see her his second stay, and when we pick him up we can tell that he has been well taken care of and that he has had fun. Both times Baloo stayed with her she was taking care of multiple dogs, but for us that was a good thing! Baloo loves having new playmates! I almost wonder if he has more fun and gets more attention at her house than he does at ours! ;) ”
“Jason & Becky were wonderful with Juneau. They were very responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout her stay. It’s clear they are experienced dog owners who treated her with kindness and great care. I received frequent updates with photos and videos, along with helpful information about her behavior and daily routine, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you both so much—Juneau is definitely looking forward to coming back!”
“Susan and her husband were great to my little dog and treated me with warmth and openness. I loved the daily pictures they took of Autumn and videos of her playing with other dogs. When I had a concern Susan was very understanding and I truly appreciated that. I would love to rebook her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Jorge and Alejandra were amazing sitters! They sent us some wonderful pictures of our dog and were great at communicating. Very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed. Would highly recommend!”
“Alyce and her family were excellent! We had them watch Beasley for two nights, and she got along super well with their dog Mookie. Beasley has run away a couple times, and Alyce was super understanding and accommodating, given Mookie is an escape artist herself. She let Beasley roam around in their big fenced-in backyard, and was great about feeding her and providing daily updates. Would definitely book again with Alyce in the future!”
“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”
“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Kevin is FANTASTIC! Morty is super fun too! They're organized, thoughtful, friendly, outgoing, flexible and kind. Our dog came home with better manners than when we left! We look forward to using their services again soon!”

This was the third time that Nyla and Corey watched my dog Coco and they have consistently provided an excellent level of care. They send regular updates and pictures and really make sure my dog feels comfortable in their space. I highly recommend them for dog boarding services.
Sissi is the best! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for two weeks. She was patient and loving; Rocket warmed up to her right away. She sent us videos and pictures multiple times a day. She went above and beyond; taking Rocket for lots of walks and hikes, playing with him, and cuddling him. Rocket adores her and can't wait to stay with Sissi again. We will definitely book Sissi again.
Feeling very fortunate that we found such a terrific sitter for our girl, Izzi…and so close by in McLean! Grace was great to work with, communicated very well so we knew all was good! Izzi was immediately comfortable with Grace and came home happy after a 3 day stay that was extended to 4. We highly recommend Grace and will use her services again! Thank you!
Yiting and Robert kept great care of our dog Tilly for 4 days this summer. Tilly has separation anxiety, and they took pains to manage that. She also gets along not so well with other dogs, generally, and they took pains to separate her while also giving her attention and enrichment. Tilly even got to play with another dog in their yard, which is rare because we as her owners hardly ever give her the chance. It went so beautifully! While we were gone we received so many lovely pictures. Highly recommend
Donovan was fantastic for our Xiqui. Best value for money on Rover by far. Not to mention attentive and proactive (in buying toys that suited Xiqui’s needs and interests). It helps Donovan’s parents are around the house and so Xiqui had someone around most of the time. Lovely home with great fenced area that backs up against a forested trail area. Their mild mannered dog Sophia was a bonus for Xiqui. All around 5 out of 5!
Cathleen did an amazing job watching my 14-year-old dog, Ollie, while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was obvious she genuinely cared about him. Since Ollie is a senior dog, I really appreciated that she made sure he got his walks without overdoing it. She was so kind and easy to work with, and Ollie was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Cathleen to anyone looking for a great dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Mee Jeong took fantastic care of my dachshund during his five night stay at her home. She was very communicative and I know he had a great time in her yard. Even when Sosis had a little irritation in his paw, she kept us updated and let him wear her dog’s cone. We will definitely book her again. Thank you, Mee Jeong!
Ellie was a superb Rover mom to my Cavapoo. He was treated like royalty. She provided me with updates on my pup every day. She showered him with great food, treats and toys. Bo was the happiest dog on the planet. I am so thrilled to have her take care of my precious dog.
Megan S & Erin K were spectacular sitters for my two dogs and my daughter's dog. They sent us daily updates during the 2 weeks we were gone and sent us multiple pictures each day and periodic videos showing them having a great time in the back yard running around with the other dogs. We had to extend their stay when our flight was cancelled and we asked if our pups could stay 2 more days! No problem!! This was the second time they have watched our dogs and we would definitely recommend them for dog care. Regards, Karen E.
Kerstyn took amazing care of Taffy for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay! Taffy had a wonderful time playing with Freya and was clearly sad to leave! Kerstyn also did a great job managing Taffy's quirks with patience and care! We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Falls Church on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,548 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.
