“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!”
“Adriana was amazing! We did a four night stay and she proposed a meet and greet the week before our visit (without me having to ask) which was a great way to get to know her and her adorable pup, Pheobe. She asked a lot of questions about Max’s routine and day to day food and care needs and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my precious baby in her care. Pheobe was super sweet and she and Max played and lounged and overall got along very well.”
“We had another great stary with Heather! My dog loves going to her house and playing with her dog and it's nice knowing she's safe and having fun. Will definitely use again!”
“We left our senior (15 yrs), dog in Michelle's care for a weekend, and couldn't have asked for a better environment, and family. Michelle was kind, extremely responsive (key criteria for us), and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We felt content knowing our dog was comfortable, and having fun with her new friends at Michelle's. Keep up the great work, Michelle!”
“Amazing care. She sent pictures of my dog everyday. She even let me extend last minute which was appreciated. He had an amazing time with her and I will be rebooking with her. Thank you again.”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Our dog, Jojo, had a great time staying several nights with Lauren and Bentley! I was very sad to leave our pup but Lauren made us feel very comfortable and confident ❤️ She sent lots of pictures and Jojo came home happy and tired. Thank you, Lauren!!!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.”
“Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!”
“Yeonse was fantastic throughout the process, from drop-off to pick-up with Korben. He was great with communication and followed all instructions for the care of my dog. Would highly recommend Yeonse and I will definitely contact him again should I have the need for pet care again.”
“Rey and Wilbur are treated like family by Lily and Eric - they are loved and cared for like they are their own pets. Their property is fully dog fun and safe with a fenced in suburban yard. We highly recommend them to watch your dogs!”
“Susan and her husband were great to my little dog and treated me with warmth and openness. I loved the daily pictures they took of Autumn and videos of her playing with other dogs. When I had a concern Susan was very understanding and I truly appreciated that. I would love to rebook her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“I recently used Brogan to care for my dog while I was away on short notice, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From the very first message, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs, which immediately put me at ease.”
“Zosha and his partner took such great care of Jefe! We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and sweet about the whole thing. Their communication was amazing the entire time, and I could tell Jefe was in really loving and caring hands. We’d absolutely love to book with them again in the future. I’d definitely recommend them to all fur parents!”
“Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found Temisha!! We have had some not so great experiences with boarding in the past and were really anxious about finding the right fit for our girls. Temisha was everything we were looking for and more! She loved on our girls like they were her own! It was so hard to be away from them for a whole week, but she sent us lots of photos and videos which helped us to feel more connected while we were away. And, you could tell that the girls were having a great time! When we went to pick them up, as excited as they were to see us, they still ran over to her butts wiggling all the way! Her dog, Max, is an absolute sweetheart as well and it was really nice for our girls to have some positive socialization with another pup! Temisha is super responsive, kind, trustworthy, understanding, and, as another one of her clients said...she really is the best!! We know that we have found the right sitter for our girls going forward!”
“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”
“Holly was responsive, responsible, flexible, and super easy going. She took good care of my pup and sent updates and even helped me out when my schedule changed at the last minute. Definitely recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McLean
Byamba was an outstanding host for our elderly dog during our absence. He was very responsive, proactive, communicative (before and during), and caring. He shared photos throughout our pet’s stay even helped navigate a change of schedules with ease. She was happy when we picked her up and seemed to have experienced great care. We will definitely seek to have Cali stay with Byamba on future visits!
Nadia took absolutely wonderful care of my dog!! She treated my dog with so much kindness, love, and attention. I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures, which allowed me to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would highly recommend Nadia to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind.
My young, high-energy dog seemed to really enjoy her time at Shayla's, and I felt confident leaving her in the care of someone with specialized knowledge and skills in animal behavioral training and a good home setup. Shayla was warm, accommodating, super responsive, professional and flexible. She asked the right questions during our meet and greet and took the time to make my dog feel comfortable and ensure safe interactions. Absolute life saver and a gem. Will definitely seek her out in the future and know my girl will be in the best hands.
Loreen took care of our 16 year old dog for a week, (YES, SIXTEEN), and she provided the most loving and attentive care to make him feel at home and support him through all of his disabilities and even separation anxiety. From daily photos, videos, and thoughtful updates, we felt at ease while being away from him. Strongly recommend Loreen, and we are so grateful she was available to take care of Ernie. Thank you so much!
Louie had an amazing stay with Sarah! I never felt as comfortable leaving Louie with a sitter as I did with Sarah. He quickly adjusted to her home and I could tell from the numerous photos and videos that he was enjoying his time with her. Thanks Sarah! We will be rebooking in the future!
Always a joy having Banjo stay with Kevin and his amazing family. They do such an amazing job taking care of him and communicating with us. Feels like he’s almost always sad to leave them! They do a great job with daily updates and photos, and lots of snuggles. Thanks Kevin and fam!
Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in McLean is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $82 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 7,822 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 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.
