“I left my dog Archie with Chenqin for two nights and she and her husband were lovely! They were attentive to Archie, sent plenty of photos and listened closely to instructions. She is trust worthy and reliable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you!!!”
“As usual, Musa was fantastic! He always updates us with photos of Rex and on how Rex is doing. Most importantly, Rex so enjoys staying with Musa. If Musa is available we will always have Rex stay with him. Definitely would highly recommend him.”
“Roxanna is the absolute best. You could not have a better person to work with or to take care of your pet. Her communication was awesome. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone. And her little doggie, Izzy is the sweetest thing ever! My dog, Roger and Izzy became best friends. It went so well- we plan to have doggie play dates in the future. So glad I met Roxanna and her sweet family.”
“Andy was so accommodating and kind when we had a surprise emergency. We felt happy and at peace knowing Spencer was in good hands. It seems like Spencer got a lot of love and care at Andy’s. Highly recommend!!”
“Christine watched Miso for the first time for a night so I could celebrate my birthday. Communication was great before and during my dog's time there. I appreciated Christine being flexible with my inconsistent plans for pick up and drop off. I also very much appreciated that Miso was returned to me tired from playing so much hahaha... Was able to have a calm day after lots of celebrating!”
“We had a great experience with Yasmine. She provided regular updates, was highly responsive and took amazing care of Bear. We’re very happy and Bear is looking forward to his next stay!”
“As it was our first time leaving Emme with people outside our family we were very nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for better people to look after her! Argos and her seemed to have the best time and she was clearly looked after very well. Mallory stayed in contact and updated me with lots of pictures and videos- which really helped me to feel comfortable. We recommend them without a doubt!”
“Another AMAZING and caring experience with Shuli. My pooch is now 10 years old and Shuli really knows him inside out( and us too!) I am already booking two more boarding times in total peace of mind and so thankful for Shuli.”
“Emma was amazing! Very kind and sweet! Also very responsive! She sent me updates about my pup along with pictures. My girl looked totally comfortable hanging out with Emma! I Definitely will be using her in the future.”
“Jie was an excellent host for our dog Maya. She was very attentive to Maya, sent photos and kept in touch while we were away for a week. She has a large fenced yard which was great for Maya to be outside alot of the time. I highly recommend Jie for dog boarding and intend to board Maya there again.”
“This is the second time since I’ve moved out of state that we’ve returned to visit and had Susan keep my fur baby. He was too excited when I mentioned her name on the way to her home. I trust Susan explicitly with my 4 year old miniature poodle. She was his first sitter as a puppy and he just loves her, her husband and her two fur babies. You can’t go wrong choosing Susan if you need care for your pups.”
“Lina and family were great to work with. Very responsive from the very first inquiry and continued to stay in communication and responsive all throughout. Lina is a pro at this and clearly loves dogs and takes good care of her visitors. Our pup probably is bigger than her normal customers and I imagine had more energy than most, but she managed him superbly, responded to our specific requests, and sent cute photos to keep us updated. Thank you, Lina.”
“Karen and her family were so kind when taking in my little Harlow. I received photos and check ins everyday and could truly enjoy my vacation knowing she was being taken care of.”
“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Jennifer was really great! Maya hadn't been boarded at a new place in quite a while so she was a bit nervous and stressed, but Jennifer did such a wonderful job helping her feel safe and loved. She also was great at communicating with me about how Maya was doing and was always quick to thoroughly respond when I checked in. She also asked detailed questions about Maya's routine and habits to ensure she could stick to it as closely as possible. Maya was clearly well looked after and I wouldn't hesitate to board her with Jennifer again!”
About: I love working with dogs! I grew up with a variety of breeds and I am very patient and caring with all animals. My family had both large German shepherds and small miniature poodles, so I feel extremely comfortable with any size dog. I currently have a small rescue poodle mix, who I spoil just a little too much. I have also fostered and sat for various breeds and I really enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and temperament. Every dog deserves to be treated as a member of the family, which is exactly how I treat any pet in my care. I look forward to meeting and caring for your precious and beloved family member and he or she will immediately feel like part of my own family!
“Destiny kept my dog Sky ( Male - Shih Tzu) for a weekend and he seemed to have enjoyed his time. She was very friendly at drop off & pickup, and was flexible. She also sent pictures everyday. I’ll definitely be bringing him back. Thanks Destiny!”
“Kevin and his family is such a great support system for our family and with supporting our dog Dexter. He gives lots of updates and it’s clear our dog is very well cared for.”

Min-Yang and Xiaoyu were amazing! Pig had the best time staying with them! They sent multiple pictures a day so we knew she was well taken care of and so we didn’t miss her as much! They even helped with her potty training! We will definitely be using them again! It so nice to have someone you know loves your dog as much as you do!
Andrea and her family are amazing! We truly don’t know what we’d do without them and they’ll be our go-to for boarding for as long as they continue to offer their services. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, thoughtful family who will treat your dog like their own
Ellie was just the best vacation mom our Yan Yan could ever have. She took such good care of Yan Yan, from her meals to her walks to special play time and the yummy snacks and food. She even had a doggie bag of toys and treats for Yan Yan to bring home. Ellie also sent tons of pictures and was very regular in her updates each day. We had absolutely no worries leaving our little one in Ellie’s care. Highly, highly recommend!
I recently left my dog Laci with Yiting for the first time, and I am very happy with the care that Laci received. Yiting asked good questions when needed, and it was clear from the pictures she sent that Laci was happy and well cared for. I will definitely use Yiting again!
We cannot say enough good things about Jason and Becky Z. They take such wonderful care of Calypso when we are away. They obviously make her part of their family, give her lots of love, and get her all the exercise she needs. They send lots of pictures and updates so we can see how happy and healthy she is. We feel so lucky to have found them to take care of our girl!
Kerstyn is great dog sitter, and she is super kind. My poodle is 4 months old and not well potty trained, she followed my instructions how to take care of my dog. End of the day, my dog accidentally poop inside her kennel, Kerstyn washed her blanket and clear my dog. Thank you so much and I’m grateful to find her. High recommended!
Allison is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We adopted Brody just 2 months ago and last weekend was the first time we needed someone to look after him. We did a meet and greet and we knew almost immediately that Allison was the best choice to care for Brody. It is such a great feeling to know your dog is in such great hands. We were able to enjoy our weekend away without having to worry about Brody. Allison sent use updates with pics and he looked very happy. Allison will be the first one we will call when we need someone to take care of Brody. The best!
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!
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!
Rae and her family were amazing pet sitters for our dog, Duke, who loves to be around people. Rae was incredibly thoughtful to give him plenty of attention and exercise. He certainly walked more with Rae than at home. She sent daily pictures and updates. Prior to boarding, Rae was diligent to find out about Duke’s habits and wanted to do her best to replicate his daily routine from home. We highly recommend Rae and appreciate her loving care!
Our two dogs stayed with Byamba for 6 nights while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be more thankful for his family’s excellent care! The dogs looked like they had a blast going on walks, exploring the trail, and playing in the backyard. We received many updates and got to relax on our vacation with the peace of mind that our dogs were safe and enjoying their stay. Byamba was also attentive to our dog’s seasonal allergies and helped to administer medicine when needed. This is our second time using Byamba’s services and we look forward to many more staycations for Ozzy and Willo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in McLean on Rover is $65.56 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 7,606 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across McLean. 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 McLean 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 McLean 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 McLean 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 McLean.
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 McLean 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.
