“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”

“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”

“Ms. Maria is the best! She is extremely attentive and loving toward my dog, I know he felt at home. He was so excited to spend time with her, I will definitely be booking again.”

“One of our pups had never stayed the night away from home so we were a little nervous. Chaoran made sure she was comfortable and happy. Both our dogs seemed to do great for the week. We were so thankful for the daily updates and care shown to our furry family members!”


About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.
“John and Joanna were wonderful with our dogs as usual! Their attention to detail is so reassuring. One of our dogs needed continued medication and they were so good about keeping her on track. They consistently kept me informed. I will continue to use their pet sitting services because I believe there is no one out there who could care for them more.”


“Sheridan took excellent care of Dexter, she took the time to meet and greet us before hand. She was in consistent communication and sent pictures. I feel very comfortable with leaving my dog with her.”

“Highly recommend! They took great care of Blue and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that Blue was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We really appreciated the updates and attention he received. We would definitely book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Blue!”

“Elizabeth and family was amazing and made us feel so safe leaving our dog in her care. She was as very attentive and kept us updated throughout our weekend away. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care and will definitely be keeping her as our permanent pet sitter :) thank you, Elizabeth! You are amazing.”

“Teddy spent 2 days with Ali and her family. He is still young and likes to play a lot and they spent plenty of time playing with him. He came home so tired he pretty much crashed the rest of the day! This is Teddy's first time at Ali's and only his 2nd with a pet sitter so receiving updates and pictures put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with Ali again.”

“Lydia is wonderful and we will return to her to watch our dog. Lydia is caring, observant, and reliable. She listened to our description of our dog and her needs. She sent us pics and videos every day. We didn’t worry while we were away because we felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in her care. When we arrived for pick up, Lydia shared her thoughts and observations, and we could see she is compassionate and attentive. Highly recommend!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our baby received! From the very start, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. I got many regular photo and video updates throughout the day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Our pup came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during the stay. The home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it’s obvious that the lovely family truly treated our Geumdongyi like family. The extra effort and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind while away!”

“We cannot thank Catherine enough for the service that she provides. Our pup is always very happy to arrive at Catherine’s and, more importantly, happy and relaxed when he returns home. Catherine was so kind and flexible when our flight was canceled, resulting in what we anticipated would be a very, very late pick up. You should not hesitate to make a booking with her. She will take very good care of your fur baby.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the care Buddy received from Iryna! We were out of the country for over 15 days, and they treated Buddy as if he were their own. When he faced some health issues, like vomiting and diarrhea, they handled everything with professionalism and compassion, keeping us constantly informed. Their communication was impeccable—they sent frequent updates, photos, and even took Buddy to the vet to ensure he got the proper medical attention. It was such a relief knowing Buddy was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. I would highly recommend Iryna to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond for our furry family member!”

So glad we found Chaimae! I accidentally booked too short of a stay for our pets but she was very accommodating and extended our booking until we got back home! It was great having peace of mind that our pets were safe, secure and living their best life while we were away! 😁

Jill was an incredible sitter for our week-long trip with Muffin. She kept us updated daily with sweet photos and messages, and even hopped on FaceTime with us twice so we could see him and know he was doing well — that kind of communication made being away so much easier. What really stood out was how she handled an unexpected situation during our trip. Without hesitation, she made sure Muffin got the care he needed and stayed by his side the whole time, going well above and beyond what we ever expected from a sitter. Her calm, caring, and responsible approach gave us total peace of mind. We can't recommend Jill enough — she's attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!

Mike did a fantastic job with my dog! She had some separation anxiety early and he kept me up to date with her behavior, how they helped her, and daily picture updates. Their own pets also helped my dog have some company and play time which she loves. Highly recommend!

This was my first time boarding with Rover and I couldn't be happier that I chose Gloria! Benoit spent five nights with them, and he was clearly so well loved. The whole family was so sweet and easy to communicate with. I loved how many pictures/videos she sent of Benoit playing with their dogs. Would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Haymarket on Rover is $38.85 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 .

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.
95% of Haymarket 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 Haymarket 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 Haymarket 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 Haymarket.
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 Haymarket 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.
