“Katerine was fantastic - she’s a naturally very kind person and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pics and shared updates throughout our week long trip. At pick up, she gave a great rundown of the week and our dog seemed quite happy. She has a nice, fenced in backyard and a nice, grassy area for walks. All around, a great Rover experience.”
“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!”
“They took care of our Sky so well. Everyday in the morning we got pictures and updates. Very glad we decided to go with them. Thank you Alexis and Andrew.”
“My dog, Mario, stayed with Tan for 8 days. We did a "meet-and-greet" prior to his stay. So Mario knew where we were when we pulled up to her residence. His tail was wagging as we entered. While I was gone, Tan sent pics and videos. It was great to know he was safe and happy while I was away. I will book Tan again.”
“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.”
“Sush was very kind and our dog came home in great condition. She has a large yard which was very helpful for our dog, and I like that she has kids because that’s great for my dog to be around. We would definitely board with her again!”
“10 out of 10! I had an amazing experience with Chenqin as our sitter. The communication (pictures and videos) was so satisfying, it’s like I never left him! My pup came home happy, healthy, and safe. I would 1000% recommend you booking with her. It was such an amazing experience, we’ve already planned his next boarding as I travel often for work.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my reliability, genuine care, and respect for every pet as a valued member of your family. I’m not just an animal lover—I’m dependable, punctual, and treat each pet's routine and personality with the attention they deserve. Whether it's keeping a shy cat comfortable or making sure a dog gets their favorite walk, I provide care you can count on—every time. As of now, I am very flexible. I understand pets needs can be specific and I will try my best to fit that into my schedule as though they were my own! I care for pets, in my home, but also in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding times, walks, play, and even the little quirks they love—so they feel secure while you're away. I keep things calm, clean, and cozy, making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. Whether it’s a cat that needs quiet company or a dog who thrives on belly rubs and fetch, I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way.
“Aly was great at communicating. She sent a picture every day and responded to mr message right away. Definitely glad I found her. Thank you for taking a great care of Mocha”
“Andrew was kind to send us pictures. Our dog can be a little anxious, but he adjusted well for the week we were away. Andrew’s place is very convenient, and has a large yard.”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our dog Pepper! We didn’t have to worry at all on our honeymoon because we knew she was in great hands, Brandi sent some sweet update photos for us, and it seemed like Pepper loved their huge yard and had fun with their dogs. Super accommodating with drop off/pickup too and always quickly responded to messages which was very reassuring. Pepper made herself right at home with them and we would not hesitate to have her stay with Brandi and family again. Would highly recommend!! -Matt and Jordan”
“Very kind, responsive, communicative, and overall great experience. Tehani provided updates throughout my dog's stay and he seemed to have a great time with her own dogs. Would recommend!”
“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our dog. Even though our dog was anxious about being in a new environment, Isabelle and her parents went above and beyond trying to make him more settled and comfortable in his environment, and kept us updated along the way. Would recommend!”
“Daiva is amazing! I was impressed by the amount of love and professional care shown towards my dog. Quick to respond to texts and is flexible with schedules. Also is very good with sending updates/photos/videos. Thank you Daiva, will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Leah was very patient with our high-strung dog and had her cuddling and happy after just 24 hours. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and plan to book her again!”
“Lee Ann and her family took wonderful care of Roxie. She sent frequently updates and pictures throughout the day so I knew that Roxie was in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Lee Ann and plan on using her again in the future. Thanks again!”
“Loreen took excellent care of my elderly dog during a recent trip. She not only took care of all the usual necessities but also gave Cubby genuine love, pettings, and play time. Lots of fun pictures and videos. Loreen is reliable, responsive and easy to work with. I hope to use Loreen again and my dog says "woof" to that;)”

Shayla did a wonderful job with my furry baby, Patton. She scheduled a meet and greet to start. She kept me up to date with his time with her and took the time to send pictures. He loved it so much that when he came home, he misses being at Shaylas. During his stay, he went on walks and had plenty of playmates. TY for a job well done.
Jaewhi is an amazing sitter! We really appreciated how flexible and accommodating he is, and the regular picture updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We have booked with him twice and would absolutely recommend him!
We had such a great experience with Yasmeen! She took wonderful care of our cat during our two-week trip and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We’d absolutely recommend her!
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!
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!

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.
