“As always, Kimberly is fantastic. She has very good communication and we trust her so so much! Our little guy can be difficult, so we are very thankful to have found her to watch him.”
“I booked my baby, Luna, for close to a week. Never used Rebeca before. My pup had a blast! She also made friends with the owner’s dogs. I got plenty of pics and videos of her looking very at home. Would highly recommend ?”
“Jim takes wonderful care of my lab mix, Carmen. She likes frequent walks and Jim accommodates her. He is very responsive to my texts and stays in touch so there are no scheduling issues.”
“Marcela was great and my kittens were very comfortable in her home! She sent plenty of updates and was very flexible with the initial meeting, dropoff and pickup. I'll definitely be using her as my go-to cat sitter!”
“This is the first time I used this app. I was very pleased from the “meet and greet” to the time I dropped off my pet for boarding. I received pics every day. This kept me connected with my pet. Nancy took good care of my pet. I will use her again.”
“Jona was very easy to work with and took amazing care of our best friend! We felt comfortable knowing Phoebe was in great hands. At our meet and greet, it took Phoebe less than a minute before she was curled up next to Jona asking for a belly rub. During Phoebe's stay, Jona kept us updated throughout the day letting us know Phoebe was happy and well cared for. Phoebe followed Jona around the house and to bed each night - proving how quickly they bonded. Phoebe takes medication twice a day and that was no problem for Jona. Phoebe requires a lot of attention and love and Jona gave her that and more. We will absolutely plan to book again with Jona. I am very happy and Phoebe was so happy!”
“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”
“Once again Winnie had a terrific time staying with Ann and Rick, their dogs and the dogs who also came to stay. She was through their front door and had disappeared playing with her pack before I could get to the kitchen with her food. The daily photos and updates reassured me that all was wear and freed me from worry so I could enjoy my holiday.”
“Miguelina was really amazing and took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country. She sent pictures every day with an update on how things were going and she was also really flexible with the pickup timing after we experienced a flight delay. I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah has been such a great sitter to our super energetic and playful dog, Tex. She is patient and kind and always sends us updates which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Thanks for being so wonderful to our dog, Sarah!”
“Tico was happy staying with Vronnie , she took good care of Tico :) She sent me daily Pictures of Tico and their walks , and I will always use Vronnie whenever I can to take care of Tico when I am away . 👍”
“Connor was the perfect fit for our high-strung Dachshund/Beagle mix, Jeffrey. From the moment they met, Jeffrey took an instant liking to Connor's calm demeanor. I joked that he was the "dog whisperer" because Jeffrey can definitely be a challenge! After Jeffrey's stay, Connor even shared some tips to help us manage his reactivity, and I'm happy to say they're working. The only downside is that Connor gets booked far in advance, which speaks to how great he is. We'll definitely be planning ahead so we can use his services again!”
“Valerie is awesome. She and her family took such good care of my fur baby! She was so accommodating with my crazy schedule and even came to my house to pick up my dog so that I could make it to my flight on time! Can't say enough about her and she will be my go to sitter from now on.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lorton
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
Cadence was absolutely wonderful with our dog Tanner during his boarding stay! We could tell right away that Tanner had a great time and was very happy and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and care Cadence gave him. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Tanner was in such good hands. We highly recommend Cadence to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Cadence, for taking such great care of Tanner! ❤️
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
We had another wonderful experience with Kim.This was our 3rd time booking with her, and we couldn’t be happier. Kim is so sweet and takes such great care of our little girl. We especially love how she always keeps us updated and sends us pictures, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend Kim and will definitely be booking with her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
Marcela was an amazing sitter for my senior dog, Coco, on all of the occasions that we booked with her! She was super accommodating and did a fantastic job with taking care of Coco and making sure he ate his medications and sticking to his diet. I can tell that Coco is really comfortable with Marcela and has a fun time when he is over!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lorton on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lorton. 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 Lorton 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 Lorton 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 Lorton 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 Lorton.
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 Lorton 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.
