“Our dog was well cared for by Jie and her family. Our dog lived in the house and had plenty of attention from the family and other boarding dogs. They have a spacious back yard for the dogs to play. The communication was very good and they sent plenty of pictures.”
“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our golden retriever! He sent several pictures daily and was very accommodating with our pick up time/drop off. Will definitely use Kevin&family again!”
“Yasmine is truly as good as it gets. She was so attentive, kind, and patient. Ziggy was all out of sorts after traveling on an airplane and she spent so much time reassuring him and dealing with some issues. I see why she has so much praise and love on Rover! I felt so at ease with her notes, checking, and updates.”
“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!”
“Isabelle was amazing with Luna. Provided updates and pictures everyday of how she was doing. Luna is usually very anxious but came home extremely happy :) I will definitely be returning in the future”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Thanks to Susan B. and her family, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy a vacation over the holidays without worrying about our pups. Will definitely reach out to her if we are traveling again!”
“Great experience! We highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter. We left our 40-lb dog Calvin for a week with Helena without any issues. She took good care of him during our absence. Great photos as well. When our flight was delayed, Helena was totally flexible and understanding.”
“Molly and Gary were wonderful with our 4 year old dog, Frodo. He was adopted from a rescue group at the start of the pandemic. He had gotten sick in the shelter so we do not want to board him in a kennel. When Frodo met Molly, he was happy to go with her in their house, and from the photos sent, he made himself at home. He was excited to come home with me after our vacation yet he was so calm when we got home. We appreciated the care and attention he had there.”
“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!”
“Loreen did a great job taking care of Poppy! Poppy got along really well with her dog, and we got photos and video updates! Poppy really loved Loreen and cuddled with her just like she does with us!”
“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”
“Terrific experience with Leah caring for our senior puggle Chester for a whole week. We got lots of pictures and Chester was very chill when we picked him up. We would definitely board with Leah again in the future.”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“Diana and her family are amazing! They were so loving towards my dog, sent updates/pictures, and were flexible with my travel plans. I would happily book with them again. 😍”
“Alexis, Andrew, and their boys did an amazing job of making Pepper feel comfortable and happy. Regular pics of Pepper was sent to me and she looks very happy in every pic. I would recommend this family for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thanks again for caring for Pepper.”
“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.”
“Cheyenne was amazing! She kept up with my high energy dog and they went on so many walks. He was definitely spoiled the whole time which will make me want to take him back again and again.”

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.
From the moment we met Ellie, I knew he would be in loving hands. She truly went above and beyond in every way. She spoiled him with plenty of playtime and home made treats (Taro's favorite- he approved 100% pawcent) and gave him so much love and attention throughout his stay. The photo updates meant so much to me. Seeing Taro so happy, relaxed, and enjoying himself made being away so much easier. When I picked Taro up, he was happy, healthy, and so well cared for. I am so incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave him and so happy to have found her on Rover. Knowing I now have someone I can trust with my pup is priceless, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own!
Mee Jeong truly saved our weekend when she agreed to watch our girls! We had a meet and greet before our set drop off time, and our girls warmed up to her immediately. Her dog, Daisy, was super sweet, and accepted our girls instantly. Through the course of our weekend, Mee Jeong provided daily updates, showing pictures of the walks they were going on, and updates regarding their eating, sleeping, playfulness, and walks. The girls looked ecstatic in every picture that was sent over, and I didn’t think they would want to come home with me! They were properly stimulated, and to the point of driving them home, they napped the entire way. I would be honored to have Mee Jeong watch our girls 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! 🐾

The average cost for Pet Boarding in McLean on Rover is $63.85 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 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 7,847 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in McLean. About 91% 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.
