“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“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.”
“Our dog, James, was in great hands with Evan! Very kind and communicative from first message through the visit. James had a great time and came home happy! Looking forward to booking again.”
“Alexis and Andrew were great with taking care of our dog and very responsive. They sent pics daily and let know how he was doing with eating and his activities. I felt very comfortable with Hokie’s stay.”
About: Safely get my Persian cat over multiple infections and spay. Highly aware of cats discomfort and symptoms/issues. Attention to details and following careful instructions if needed. I work from home three days a week. I am very reliable and accessible when you need help. I generally have time after 5pm on weekdays and free during weekend. I love driving around, going on hikes and parks, biking and snowboarding. I have a fenced yard and I always make sure I take pictures and communicate. I will always ask for preferences and special needs. I frequently clean my house to make sure the environment is on spot for pets.
“Isabelle took an excellent care of my Bella who is almost 15 years old and requires meds and being taking out very frequently. I always receive an update on how my girl is doing and overall I can’t be more satisfied with the level of care and love my doggie has received. Highly recommend!”
“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”
“Lina sends lots of pictures and takes great care of our pup as her own. I know he’s in good hands and is comfortable as if he were home. They are a sweet and thoughtful family, and we’re thankful for them!”
“Molly had an excellent stay with Crystal and her family! Crystal was very responsive and sent photos each day of Molly and her new doggy friends. We will definitely book Crystal for our next vacation!”
“Mocha had a great stay with Shirley and Bomi! This was the longest we’ve been away from Mocha but we felt very at ease having Mocha stay with Shirley! She sent constant updates and cute pictures of mocha that will stay in our photo gallery forever. She was also very attentive and made sure we knew if there’s any concerns as well! Would 100% recommend Shirley to watch your pups!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
We boarded our 3‑year‑old dog with Loreen for 10 days and couldn’t have been happier. She gave him excellent care — daily walks, visits to the dog park, and lots of attention — and sent photos and updates every day, which put us at ease. Reliable, caring, and professional. Highly recommend!
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!
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 Pet Boarding in McLean on Rover is $64.38 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 7,810 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in McLean. About 90% of McLean 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.
