“Abby did an outstanding job with my Koda. It was the first time I left her with a stranger, but Abby treated Koda like she was her own. She is dependable, responsive, and thorough. My dog struggles with separation anxiety and Abby did wonderful keeping Koda at bay. Thank you, Abby!”

“Swetha and her husband took such good care of my rescue puppy over two back to back stays. This was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and after meeting Swetha I felt very assured that she could handle her while I was out of the country. Swetha sent regular updates with pictures, and my puppy had so much fun playing with her dog Pepper. If you are looking for someone who can handle energetic dogs and provide a loving and engaging environment, book with Swetha!!”
“We are so happy to have found Byamba and his family to board our dog, Rex. He was super responsive when booking, even though it was only a week before our trip. When I dropped Rex off, I could tell that Byamba was an experienced dog watcher. He was amazing with sending updates and pictures, so we felt super confident that Rex was well cared for. Highly recommend, and will definitely be using him again for future travel.”
“Vivian did a wonderful job taking care of Herschel this weekend. She communicated often, sending pictures and updates. We will definitely ask her to doggie sit 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;)”
“Jennifer is amazing and gave our two pups the most loving care during their stay! She is responsible and responsive and kept in constant communication with us through messages and photos. She also stayed on top of their medications and spoiled our dogs with lots of attention, walks, and play time. They bonded with her quickly and were comfortable in her home right away, even one of our dogs who has mild separation anxiety issues. We are super happy with the boarding experience and will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks!!!”
“Our dog seemed very happy to be with this sitter. He acclimated well. Sitter seems to be very compliant with our requests for our dog and sent us pictures and correspondences during our dog's stay. We would highly recommend.”
“We are so grateful to Shiva for taking such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Arya! 🐾 From the moment we met Shiva, we felt completely comfortable leaving Arya in her care. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and thorough, making sure every detail of Arya’s care and routine was taken care of. Shiva was thoughtful about everything—from feeding and walks to making sure Arya was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was clear that Arya was in wonderful hands. We came home to a very happy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We highly recommend Shiva to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, thorough, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be asking her to look after Arya again! ❤️”
“Derek and his family were wonderful with Jace. This was my first time ever using Rover for boarding my dog, and they made the experience so comfortable and easy.

“Carl is a kind, thoughtful person who clearly loves dogs. I felt at ease within moments of meeting him and felt assured that Duncan would be well taken care of.

I had a great experience with Jinghan! She took wonderful care of Momo and was very responsive throughout the stay. She kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m very happy with her care and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Erika did a fantastic job watching Luna and Frida!! Highly responsive, accommodating, and made our pups feel completely at home. We loved receiving regular photo updates and text check-ins throughout the day, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dogs came home happy and well-rested. We will absolutely use their services in the future!"
Claire and Simon were wonderful about keeping us reassured that our pup was doing well. We were very happy with the care they provided and, most importantly, felt that our puppy was happy, healthy, relaxed, and genuinely welcomed into their home. We'd happily book with them 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!
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 Pet Boarding in Oakton is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $94 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 7,569 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oakton. About 91% of Oakton 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.
