“MARCELA was amazing! She not only did the pick up and drop off, our German Shepherd returned with a shiny coat and calm demeanor. She shared pictures every day and made sure I was comfortable 24/7! I’m sooo grateful for her and highly recommend her services...”
“truly cannot describe how great of an experience we had with carlos! everyday we were provided with extensive updates and photos, and I was immediately at ease knowing that akiak was in good hands and enjoying himself with the other dogs. we encountered some problems at drop off and pick up, but carlos was super understanding and helpful - would recommend to anyone and everyone! thank you so much again!”
“My previous sitter canceled at the last minute. She responded quickly and we were able to arrange a meet and greet. She outlined her routine and made me feel at ease. Woodrow seemed to enjoy his time. I would definitely book again.”
“Thank you for the constant communication and sharing pictures of our very happy dog! It warmed our heart and gave us comfort to know she was well-taken care of by you! We'll definitely rebook with you again when the need arises!”
“Rebeca & Roman are amazing! They take great care of our fur baby and make sure to send lots of photos of her when they have her. I feel so at ease when she’s in their care while we are away.”
“What an awesome family that took in our pup just like he was theirs. We got sweet pictures and our pup was so happy when we picked him up. It was obvious that he had made a new pal with their dog, who was the most patient and gentle dog despite our high energy nippy puppy. We definitely forgot a few things at their place, but it's for the better because we will absolutely be using them again!”
“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.”
“Yolismal was wonderful. She took very good care of our boy. He takes medications twice a day and can be a handful during walks and she handled it all with patience and grace. She sent photos to us and provided regular updates on how things were going. We would recommend her and will be using her again.”
“We asked Lilly to help us watch our Yellow Lab for 7 days. This allowed us to travel for spring break. Her family and other dogs (Lima is our dog's favorite) treated our dog like one of their own. She provided pictures each day which helped my son know that his best friend was doing fine. When we picked him up he was tuckered out from all the playing and was in great spirits. Overall, I'd recommend Lilly to anyone. We'll surely be using her again!”
“Jona was absolutely wonderful with our skittish pupper and high energy herder. She was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable, which we really appreciated. We received frequent updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our doggos in good hands. Communication was excellent; she was always quick to respond and super easy to coordinate with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Scout was not ready to leave this house. David and his family were amazing sitters and will be hearing from me the next time I require care. Thank you guys for taking such great care of Scout!!”
“Cameron was great with our dog! She was able to accommodate us with short notice and attend to the special needs of our pup. Our dog had lots of play and attention. We would definitely recommend!”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“First time working with Stephanie and she was awesome! She was also very close by. I would definitely ask for Stephanie’s help as long as she’s available!!! Thank you Stephanie!!”
“Stacy and her family take such good care of Curie! They give her plenty of love and understand she can be nervous at first, but she settles in quickly with them. We also appreciate the regular updates. Curie looks forward to her next visit! Thank you!”
“Cortney was fantastic with our dog. She provided feedback and a photo daily, she made sure there were lots of walks and time outside, and she let us know how our dog was eating and sleeping. I would absolutely have Cortney host our dog again. Our dog was torn when we got back to pick her up because she loved being there with Cortney and her family— she wasn’t sure she wanted to come home! Definite 5 stars!!”
“Jennifer was amazing with Forest. We got daily updates with some great photos. Forest looked like he enjoyed his time and came back home nice and sleepy. Jennifer seems very experienced and comfortable around new dogs. She even worked on Forest’s “squirling.” Couldn’t have had a better first experience.”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lorton
Lilly has been our go to, trusted care provider for several long vacations. And as hard as it is to be away from our dog, Lilly sends daily pictures to reassure us that our dog is in THE BEST HANDS with her! I recommend Lilly to everyone I know in need of pet sitting services.
MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.

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.
