“Leah was able to watch Toby on a somewhat short notice and he seemed to have had a good time. She sent me photos of him playing around. Would definitely leave Toby with her again.”

“Nadia & her family took great care of my 2yo Canaan. They have a big backyard & took her for more walks than we ever do! Honestly our pup may have been sad to leave! Great communication & would definitely reach out again.”

“Loreen was very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos throughout the day! She was also very accommodating with my schedule. I could tell Luna was relaxed while I was traveling and had a great time with Loreen”

“This was the second time Roxanna cared for our dog Jea, and once again she exceeded every expectation. She keeps us updated throughout the stay, and clearly understands dog behavior and comfort. Jea settled in quickly and came home calm, well‑exercised, and clearly loved. Roxanna’s reliability and kindness make her an exceptional caregiver. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top‑tier pet care. Thank you again, Roxanna!”


“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”

“Shizuka was wonderful with our senior dog Appa! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that Shizuka treats the dogs in her care like family. She kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Appa up, he was clearly happy and well-cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shizuka again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”

“Kevin and his family were incredible in watching my dog Beau. They kept me up to date with his walks and sent lots of photos. It put me at ease as I traveled and they were very quick to respond if I had any questions. Will definitely book with them again!”

“My senior dog Bella had a wonderful time with Katerine and Brian, who took excellent care of her. They were very conscientious about her special needs.”

“Andrew was great! Our dog stayed with Andrew and his dog(s) and our dog loved playing with the other dogs all day. I would definitely board our dog with Andrew in the future.”

“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”

“We can’t say enough great things about Ron. He took such great care of our dog, sending multiple pictures each day. It was very clear that our pup was well cared for and loved while we were away. Thank you Ron!”

“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”

“Brianna was great with Nalu! She listened to what she needed and followed instructions. I received updates and photos throughout the visit, and Nalu seemed so happy in the photos 😊. I even received the cutest photo collage during pick up, which I’m putting up on my fridge!”
“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”


About: I’ve had a dog while I was growing up and loved him so so much. I love having a furry companion around and take care of them. I love playing fetch, go on walks, and cuddles! I currently work from home, we’d start the day off with a walk and breakfast, get some belly rubs and lunch, then a long walk and play time before dinner. Hoping for cuddles at night. I have a secured apartment complex with parks near by and walkable streets. The living room is big enough to play around and hang out.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in McLean is €50

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. ❤️

Shayla is amazing! Pretty sure my dog had the BEST time with her and thought he was on his own vacation while I was on mine haha. She sent me lots of pictures and videos so I could see my baby bear while I was on my trip. Can't recommend enough and will definitely be requesting her service again. Thank you Shayla!

Byamba did a great job bordering our dog Harley while we were away for a long weekend. He communicated great to set up the logistics. He walked and sent pictures of Harley - I could tell by the texts he sent that Harley was doing her normal things and must have been very comfortable. Nice house with plenty of room and a fenced in back yard - we’re comfortable with Harley being outside in a back yard. Byamba will be my first call next time we need to board Harley!!
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.
This was our first time leaving Murphy with a sitter while we traveled. Mee Jeong took great care of Murphy and sent pictures and updates every day. She is very responsive and Murphy clearly felt very comfortable with her and Daisy. Excellent experience; we will definitely book with Mee Jeong again!

Flip absolutely loved staying with Roxanna and her family! They were so welcoming and made him feel right at home. He was so well taken care of and had such a great time with Izzy & they got along so well! I really appreciated all the love and care they gave Flip. Definitely recommend Roxanna and her family! 🐾❤️

Yiting took special care of Bonnie during her 1.5 week stay, making her feel at home and cared for. She got a lot of attention and became very comfortable, which is very important for me. Bonnie had a lot of fun and made many new friends during her stay. I received constant updates and great photos/videos throughout. Would highly recommend!

We were honestly a little nervous about leaving our sweet Miso with someone new because she is a very sensitive dachshund and usually takes quite a bit of time to feel comfortable around new people. But from the moment we met Chenqin, we knew she was in good hands. Chenqin and her husband were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly communicative throughout our entire time away and sent us so many fun updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. What really amazed us was how quickly Miso warmed up to them! Our little girl usually takes a while before she feels comfortable enough to snuggle with someone new, but almost immediately we were getting photos of her happily sleeping on Chenqin’s lap and even curled up on her husband’s belly. We are so incredibly grateful for all the love, patience, attention, and care they gave to our little Miso. It was clear that she was not just being watched she was genuinely loved and treated like family. We highly, highly recommend Chenqin and her husband to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitters. We will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!!

Ansley did a great job watching our girls over the weekend. She sent us many updates, pictures and notes throughout the day. She was very accommodating about our last minute delay which was an added peace of mind. She has a fenced yard for the pups which was a massive bonus! We’ll definitely work with her again.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
