“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”
“Christine was great with my shyer pup. My dog gets a bit nervous the first day away but she seemed happy and cuddly and not wanting to leave her side by day 2. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Andy did a great job taking care of our dog, Obie. Obie got lots and lots of walks, and had fun playing with Andy's dog. Andy send lots of pics and videos, so I could see Obie having a good time. Thanks, Andy!”
“Musa and his family were so good to our dog. She was very happy there and I really appreciated Musa and how communicative and thoughtful he was. I definitely plan to have my dog stay with him whenever we travel again!”
“John was the most attentive care taker! He took Murph on so many adventures and captured so many photos, I felt like I was there! Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much.”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Erin was caring and wonderful to our dog. She gave us frequent updates which we really appreciated. We will definitely use Erin again as Millie was so happy when we picked her up. A+ +”
“Kat and Brian are always terrific! They are flexible with their schedule if changes need to be made and they take such good care of our Weezy. She always comes home happy!”
“Ellie took wonderful care of my little Bella. I had such peace of mind knowing that my geriatric dog was being pampered and loved every second that I was away, with lots of photos to prove it. She even made homemade snacks for Bella in line with her preferred diet!”
“Karen was amazing and I would highly recommend her! She has such a calm and patient demeanor, and was so communicative with updates and photos, which set my mind at ease. We are already looking to book Yeti’s next stay!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
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!
Yiting and Robert kept great care of our dog Tilly for 4 days this summer. Tilly has separation anxiety, and they took pains to manage that. She also gets along not so well with other dogs, generally, and they took pains to separate her while also giving her attention and enrichment. Tilly even got to play with another dog in their yard, which is rare because we as her owners hardly ever give her the chance. It went so beautifully! While we were gone we received so many lovely pictures. Highly recommend
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!
Ellie was a superb Rover mom to my Cavapoo. He was treated like royalty. She provided me with updates on my pup every day. She showered him with great food, treats and toys. Bo was the happiest dog on the planet. I am so thrilled to have her take care of my precious dog.
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!
Kerstyn took amazing care of Taffy for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay! Taffy had a wonderful time playing with Freya and was clearly sad to leave! Kerstyn also did a great job managing Taffy's quirks with patience and care! We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!
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!
This was my first time leaving my dog with someone new and it went wonderfully! Nicole gave regular updates with pictures which made my time away easy because I wasn’t worried about my baby. She even asked permission to take him to a friends BBQ, he loves to get out of the house. She took the best care of him in my place and I will absolutely use her again!
We had the pleasure of having Loreen S. watch our dog for 4 days and nights. What a joy it was to have her and her family taking care of our beloved dog. She sent us pictures and videos of her and her family lovingly taking care of her all the time. We loved getting them! It was such a relief to know that she was being so well care for. We recommend her to anyone who loves their dog and who wants to be assured that their dog will be lovingly cared for.
So caring and a good fit for my dog Teddy. The environment was perfect for my senior little dog. The day before boarding, my little guy broke a toe and was put in a soft cast. Inwas prepared to cancel my trip, but Jennifer stepped up and took the injured guy and I knew and was right he was in good hands. Shared photos daily and comments to keep me at ease while I was out of town. Recommend highly!
Jason and Becky were absolutely amazing with Teddie! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. They sent so many pictures and regular updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how much fun he was having. Teddie had the best time going to the dog park, playing with their two wonderful dogs, and getting lots of love and attention. It was clear they treated him like one of their own, and he came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We are so grateful for the incredible care they gave him and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. We highly recommend Jason and Becky to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boy! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in McLean on Rover is $65.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,647 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.
