“John & Joana are wonderful with Oscar and also with us. They are very responsive, kind, and caring. They send pictures and videos regularly. They know so much about dogs, I feel comfortable leaving my furry baby in their care anytime. Thanks, Joana and John.”
“Musa was amazing with Koko! He kept us updated with photos and messages, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Koko came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with him again. Thank you, Musa!”
“Jorge and Alejandra were fantastic. They kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout Kia’s stay and she seemed to have the best time. I would absolutely choose them to watch my baby again. Thank you both so much and for being flexible with my pick up and drop off 💕”
“Our dog had a great time at Michelle’s. He got a lot of great play and attention. It was easy to see that he was happy and felt at home there. We’ll definitely seek out Michelle for a future visit!”
“This is the first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Temisha was great with my senior pup. She was accommodating, sent daily pictures and was quick to respond. We'll be back!”
“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!”
“Tom and family took great care of our 4-yr old goldendoodle for a long, holiday weekend. She was frequently walked, ate and slept well and came home rested and in good spirits- as if she had been on vaca too. ?”
“This is the second time we have left our Newfie with Andrew and his family. Once again our Millie was treated like a Queen. She obviously received lots of attention as she was hesitant to leave when I came to pick her up. I just booked her next stay.”
“I found Yichen on Rover after our regular dog watcher moved away. She far surpassed our expectations! She took wonderful care of our much beloved pup who requires extra care due to some health issues. She was in very regular contact and Toby seemed adjusted and happy in photos and when we returned. We definitely plan to work with Yichen again!”
“Tamara was an amazing sitter to our two dogs! Both dogs (one a recent rescue) were immediately comfortable with her. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates so we didn’t have to worry at all about how the dogs were doing. She was also very flexible with our pick up time when our flight was canceled and we got home much later than expected. We will definitely book again in the future!!”
“Absolutely amazing! My baby has special needs because he is diabetic, blind, deaf, and needs insulin injections twice a day. Caterine and Brian welcomed ninja with open arms and took the time with me to learn how to administer his insulin injections and all of his other medications. Their home was very clean, tidy, and warm. I was able to go on my work trip With confidence that ninja was in good hands and getting the care he needed. If you are looking for caring and loving dog sitters Caterine and Brian are it! Will definitely work with them again!”

“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”
“Zosha was so kind, responsive, and flexible! Care instructions were followed to a T and they sent lots of pictures. The big open yard area right outside the apartment is a big plus, super nice neighborhood. My pup came home so happy and relaxed and I’ll definitely be sending her back in the future!”
“We highly recommend Erika! We started with a meet-and-greet, and both Wishbone and Jack warmed up to her immediately. Wishbone is usually very shy with new people, but he felt safe enough to sniff her and lick her leg right away. They just finished an overnight boarding stay at her house, and it was a wonderful experience. Erika kept her promise and sent us photo and video updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Both dogs looked completely relaxed and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely be booking Erika for boarding again”
“Keira took wonderful care of our dogs for three overnight stays! They were happy to get to know her and her dog Mokka. She took time to learn my dogs personalities and schedules. Highly recommend!”

Solomon did a great job watching my high-strung, anxious and sassy German Shepherd. I received photos and video updates and he was patient with her when she didn’t want to go potty outside in the rain. Zara came back relaxed and calm and not stressed out in the slightest. Will definitely book again!!
We are very happy with the care that Cindy gave to our Daisy, she would send a lot of pictures and respond very quickly to my questions, Daisy seems to have enjoyed her stay with Cindy and her dogs too. over all we are very happy with her and definitely use her again in the future.
We cannot thank Na-young enough for taking such wonderful, loving care of Maddy! Maddy can be a bit of a picky eater, and Na-young was so patient and attentive with her throughout the stay. When Maddy wasn't eating much on one of the days, Na-young was completely transparent with me right away. She reached out to ask if there were any tips to get her to eat or if this was just typical behavior for Maddy sometimes. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing how closely Na-young was watching over her. She treated Maddy like absolute family—she and her husband were even sweet enough to let Maddy sleep in bed with them, which I know Maddy adored! If you're looking for a communicative, caring, and trustworthy sitter, I cannot recommend Na-young enough. Thank you!
Our two mixed-pyrenees stayed with Shi Ming for the long weekend. He took very good care of our pups, taking them for walks, and making sure they comfortable during their stay. He sent us pictures and videos to keep us updated and we had peace of mind knowing that they were well cared for while we were away. Shi Ming was able to accommodate our last minute booking request and was flexible about when we could drop off and pick up our dogs since we were traveling. His dog, Jealous, is very sweet and got along well with our dogs. Thank you, Shi Ming.
Katie was a pleasure to have as our puppy’s first sitter. We were immediately put at ease after meeting Katie and knew she would treat our puppy as her own and provide lots of love and true care. Our puppy had her own vacation at Katie’s house and was very happy. We received many photos and updates throughout the day and appreciated the communication. We absolutely will use Katie in the future and highly recommended her, especially if it is your puppy’s first time away from home!
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!! 💗

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oakton is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $90 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 of October 2026, there are 7,345 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Oakton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakton home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
