“Jose took great care of Oliver during his weekend stay! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and shared great photos and videos throughout the stay! His home is clean and communication was quick. Thank you!”
“Sush was great. It was my fur babies first time with their family, and they are absolutely dog friendly! Welcoming, fur baby ready home & attitude, and my shy little guy fur baby and also old lady fur baby had a great stay. Pictures & updates sent when requested & throughout the stay. My fur babies seemed like part of their family while there. Will come again! Thank you!”
“Roxanna and her family are so sweet and lovely. They took excellent care of our pup. So thankful for her attention to detail, photos, updates and treating Chelsea like one of the family. I felt completely at ease leaving her with Roxanna.”
“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”
“Erin watched Kiwi and Belsh for a couple of days and they had a great time! Erin was super communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was flexible with timing on pick up and drop off. We would use her again in the future!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Loreen. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with tons of cute photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear she treated our dog with love and care, just like one of her own family members. We felt totally at ease leaving our pet with her.”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Diana was wonderful! We had a meet-n-greet prior to booking a stay. I brought my Bella to meet Diana’s dog, Charlie. They got along fine and Bella was surprisingly comfortable around him. I booked a one night stay but Diana also picked Bella up and dropped her off so this was the easiest boarding experience I’ve ever had. Diana also shared many photos through their time together and Bella found her lap to be a favorite spot, which was nice to see. Overall, I was thrilled and will be a repeat customer.”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Charlie while we were away! Guy was able to watch Charlie when other plans fell through last minute. Appreciate his responsiveness and flexibility!”
“Juliana and her partner were very responsive and communicative during our trip. They sent pictures and updates of our dog while we were away, which helped with our peace of mind. She also made sure to arrange a play date ahead of time to ensure that our dogs got along. I think Merlin had a great stay!”
“Sandra went the extra mile to take care of my puppy! She was in constant communication and sending pictures everyday. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again”
“Mario was able to take our pup even with short notice and sent me messages daily to let me know how she was doing. We’re happy we were able to find Mario and look forward to having him watch our girl again in the future!”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Kelly has watched my older lab a few times now and we are so thankful to have found her. She takes great care of him and has helped me out of a couple binds (last minute drop-off/pick-up changes and stays).”
“Romy and her family were so caring and welcomed our cat so warmly in their home. She had great communication from the very start and wanted to know as much as possible to make sure our cat would be happy and healthy during her stay. She sent updates and photos everyday, and our cat seemed right at home and getting lots of attention, just as she likes. We would love to have our cat stay with Romy again.”
“Michelle is wonderful. She is very responsive and sends regular updates, including pictures. Most importantly, our golden doodle always gets so excited when he spends time with Michelle and her family. He can’t wait to go back!”

Always a joy having Banjo stay with Kevin and his amazing family. They do such an amazing job taking care of him and communicating with us. Feels like he’s almost always sad to leave them! They do a great job with daily updates and photos, and lots of snuggles. Thanks Kevin and fam!
Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.
I'm so grateful to Ellie for taking care of my little Bella! As always, she went above and beyond. When I had to pick up my dog later than originally planned, Ellie made her a special dinner of chicken and rice so she didn't have to miss her usual dinner time. And Ellie's whole family gives my little Bella love and attention, so she feels right at home whether she stays for one day or three.
Loreen is such an amazing person overall! I was so nervous about leaving my dog, Kian, with someone while going on an overseas trip, and Loreen completely understood how I felt. She gave me so much comfort and reassurance, which made leaving him so much easier. Throughout Kian’s stay, she sent me lots of pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved and appreciated. She gave him so much love, cuddles, attention, and of course, plenty of scratches! She also made sure to keep up with his normal routine, which was really important to me. I had such a great experience leaving Kian with Loreen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my dog, having that peace of mind meant everything to me. I absolutely love Loreen and honestly wouldn’t want anyone else taking care of Kian! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my baby! ❤️🙏🏻
Ji Young was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our 15-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Twix, for four months, and we couldn’t have been happier with her care. Twix immediately became part of Ji Young’s family and was treated with so much love and attention. Ji Young sent us lots of pictures every week and kept us updated on how Twix was doing and behaving. She was also very attentive to Twix’s needs and suggested baths and nail clipping when appropriate. We are so grateful for all the love and care Ji Young gave our little dog. It meant so much to us to know that Twix was happy, loved, and truly part of the family while she was with her. We will always be thankful to Ji Young for taking such wonderful care of Twix. ❤️
Allison and Evan once again provided the absolute best care for our sweet boy. We are all so lucky we found them. They treat Jax like their own. Allison provides daily updates and we know he’s in the best of hands when he’s with them. Thank you both again for loving on our sweet boy while we were gone. He already misses you and is looking forward to his next stay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in McLean is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 7,634 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in McLean can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their McLean home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
