“My only hesitation with leaving a review is that John and his family will get so much attention that they’ll be booked next time we try to use them! Kidding, sort of. Seriously though, they were wonderful. Very communicative and thoughtful. One of our pups is super nervous being left, and John and his wife sent lots of pictures and reassured us that all was going well. We couldn’t have been happier with the visit and we have already booked them again!!”
“Brianna was wonderful! She took great care of my dog for three days and sent me beautiful pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Brianna and would definitely trust her again. Thank you!☺️”
“Karen is my go-to! She takes great care of Peanut and sends great pictures every day - which really help when I’m missing my puppy! And Peanut always has a great time with Karen - I’m never worried about her while she’s there.”
“Andrea was wonderful! She did an amazing job watching both Luffy and Leia, and they seemed to has a blast. Will absolutely be booking another sitting with Andrea in the future!”
“Veronica was EXCEPTIONAL! She took a such care of my dog Pi. He barely likes anyone but he was so comfortable in her care. I am very grateful for her and will definitely be using her service again.”
“Solomon was a great host for GuJu. His communication was excellent, and my dog seems extremely happy with the 4 days he spent with Solomon and his wife. They sent a lot of photos throughout his stay so we knew he was doing well while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Solomon to others looking for boarding services.”
“Jorge and Alejandra were amazing sitters! They sent us some wonderful pictures of our dog and were great at communicating. Very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed. Would highly recommend!”
“Cindy and her family were great! We loved getting daily photos and updates and our pup was well cared for. He didn’t want to come home! Cindy also went above and beyond and labeled all of our pup’s items and even provided a personalized bag for him. We highly recommend Cindy and her family!”
“Angela was amazing! They took such great care of my dog sending regular updates and adorable photos. It was clear my pet was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was away. Communication was easy and reassuring from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Nancy and her daughter Elena took really good care of my fur baby! I received a photo every day of my pampered pooch, and she looked to be both happy and comfortable! Travel ended a day earlier than expected, so I arranged for early pick up. Will definitely consider this Rover rep again, however, when planning my summer vacation.”
“Aly did a great job. Sent a few updates throughout the week and monitored for any issues and checked in with any concerns. First experience with Rover and was pleased! Easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. Would use her again if we need a pet sitter!”
“Kate was so caring and nice to my dog, Boomer! He got to play in the dog park and I got lots of photos of him getting so much attention. Kate was so considerate when she learned Boomer was scared of elevators and let him use the stairs the rest of his visit to make him more comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Kate again in the future.”
“Michelle and her family took wonderful care of our dog GInger for a week and a half. Michelle regularly sent photos and updates so that I knew that Ginger was doing well. When we picked her up, it was obvious that Ginger was happy and had really enjoyed her time with Michelle and her family. We will definitely rebook next time we're going out of town.”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Musa was a great sitter for our kitten Dooly :) His pictures and updates kept us entertained and relieved while we were away from Dooly for the first time! We hope to book with Musa again in the future.”
“Poppy has stayed with Leslie several times and always has a blast. Poppy loves all the walks and attention. Couldn’t recommend a better dog sitter in the area. Love all the photos and videos too!”
“Grateful for Daniel's willingness to take Thor on relatively short notice. Grateful for lots of human attention and even a new dog friend to keep Thor company while we were away for the weekend. I appreciate the photos over the course of our time away to assure me that all was well.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Angela is an excellent pet sitter! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to communicate with, highly flexible with scheduling, and deeply attentive to our puppy's needs. Leaving a young pup can be stressful, but Angela put our minds at ease by sending regular, reassuring updates and sweet photos throughout the stay. Angela is attentive to detail - she administered our puppy's eye drops perfectly and very efficiently. Our puppy came home happy and in great shape. Thank you so much, Angela!
Solomon was a great host for GuJu. His communication was excellent, and my dog seems extremely happy with the 4 days he spent with Solomon and his wife. They sent a lot of photos throughout his stay so we knew he was doing well while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Solomon to others looking for boarding services.
Yichen is amazing. She sent us photos & videos of our dogs, continuously stayed in communication (which means sooo much), and our dogs very much enjoyed the company of her dog, Ube. They received lots of play time and cuddles 🥰 If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further!! 💗
Jorge & Alejandra, were fantastic with our dog, Hazelnut, while we were away! They sent daily photo updates and followed our exact feeding and walking routine. When we came home, Hazel was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We will definitely book Jorge & Alejandra, again!"
Shelley is an excellent caretaker. She is very caring, kind, gentle, and really knows how to take care of dogs. I have a very finicky eater Maltese who is also somewhat anxious when he is boarded, but he always comes back to us happy after the boarding. She communicates with us constantly and updates us on how he is doing, eating, etc. We would drive many miles if we have to, to place our dog with her for our travels - she's that much worth it for us! Thanks for everything, Shelley! All 5 Stars!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakton on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,312 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Oakton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oakton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oakton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Oakton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
