“Ann & Richard were wonderful! Scout had a great time in their beautiful home and loved running in their big backyard! She will definitely be back when we head on our next vacation, thank you again!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Carlos! Caring, communicative, responsible, responsive! He was attentive to our older dog’s special needs and took the time to send so many wonderful photos and videos as well as detailed updates. We will definitely book Carlos again. He is a top notch sitter and recommend without any reservations.”


“Cadance took well care of our fur baby for the week that we were gone. She's very accommodating with pick up and drop off and does great with daily updates/photos. We appreciate the care she put into our pup!”

“Dan and his family were the best caregivers for our dog! They took great care of him and Dan was really easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Erin is a gem! She was super patient with Maxine to give her time to adjust. She sent pictures twice a day with little updates. Excellent communication! We will hope Erin is available again the next time we go out of town!”


“Serena knows dogs, and loves dogs. The playful chaos of her home full of dogs shows just how much she has made them part of her life. With Serena, my timid rescue dog came out of his shell, using a dog door for the first time in his life and cautiously becoming part of the pack -- to the point that by the last day, he had way more confidence than when he first arrived! He came home slightly muddy (which I consider a good sign of lots of fun times had) and exhausted from all that playing. Definitely recommend Serena and we already have plans to use her again!”

“Our dog, Hebert, absolutely LOVES staying with Alissa and Rich! They are flexible, communicative, and take such great care of him. Bonus: Alissa captures the best pictures of all his adventures! Whether it’s running in the yard, exploring the neighborhood on walks, napping on the couch, or “playing” with the garden hose (aka biting the water lol) - so cute and they always bring a smile to our faces!”


“Second time I had my dog Willow stay with Veronica and she came back all happy and relaxed. Veronica is very friendly, loves dogs and I can tell how well cared for my dog is with her and her family!”

“Jennifer is such a kind soul and a great pick to watch my pup! She was super responsive and also gave updates while I was gone, leaving me at ease while I left my shy dog in her care. Her dog JJ was also super laid back and the perfect company for Fergie.”

“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”


“We are so fortunate to have found Cheryl and Gustavo. They cared for our dog Bruno for 2 weeks. We received pictures regularly and in every one our pup had a big grin on his face. In the past, we've used boutique "doggy daycare"s and they don't even come close to the quality services Cheryl provides. Our pup was cared for like family. Would highly recommend Cheryl & Gustavo.”


“My cat was well taken care of! I would definitely board with her again, next time my cat and I are in town. I 10/10 reccomend Heather; she’s very sweet and your pet companion or fur baby will enjoy being looked after by her.”

“Stacy was a wonderful choice for our dog Bella! She informed us when she was on the way, gave us updates with pictures of her at her home, and the communication was seamless! Her kids enjoyed the time with our dog as well! I highly recommend if you need a dog sitter! A+++++”

“My dog came home absolutely pooped from having so much fun! Super great sitters that sent lots of pictures and were super kind when I faced travel delays! 10/10”

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!

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.

Ayla took good care of Zellah while I was on vacation! Her cat and my cat were a bit shy towards each other at first, but my cat loved being around other cats so she was quite entertained while I was away. Ayla ensured to keep me updated, send pictures , and allowed a last minute extension . The next time i go on a trip i will definitely be rebooking !!!! Great service🖤

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,259 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lorton. About 90% of Lorton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
