“AMAZING, felt so comfortable leaving my dog there for almost an entire week & my dog loved her fight away. I knew that she was safe and would be loved on and taken care of”
“Sabine was so wonderful! She was ultra communicative leading up to hosting Lady and throughout Lady's entire stay. Sabine sent us tons of updates and photos, which as obsessed dog parents we absolutely love!! We would 100% recommend using Sabine to care for your fur baby, we would definitely use her again when we're in the area!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet baby! You provided daily updates and I could tell my sweet Piper was living her best life. I can’t wait to plan my next trip and when I do you will be my preferred pet sitter.”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Marcela is reliable, kind, and compassionate. Our dog is always happy to go to her house, as he’s treated like family. Thank you, Marcela, for another great boarding experience!”
“Rhys had a wonderful time with Garrett and Ana! He came back so tired but was back his normal self by this morning which is unusual. It usually takes him 2-3 days to get back to normal”
“My cat was well taken care of! I would definitely board with her again, next time my cat and I are in town. I 10/10 reccomend Heather; she’s very sweet and your pet companion or fur baby will enjoy being looked after by her.”
“David and his family did a great job with our puppy, Dobby. In fact I would say that we got Dobby back better trained and socialized than when he was dropped off for 2 weeks. Thanks for all the attention.”
“Duke was very happy after his weekend with Vanessa and Geoffrey. Their setup is amazing and I got several updates and pictures while away from my fur baby.”
“Grant and Yunrui were outstanding caring for our dog for over 10 days. They were kind, responsive, responsible, and flexible. Our dog, who can be challenging in that she does not like other dogs and is skeptical of strangers, quickly warmed up to Grant and Yunrui. They kindly cared for our dog, walking her several times a day, playing with her often, and even helping to settle her stomach and otherwise calming her. 10/10 rating for them! Will be using them again for our dog (13 years old Austrian Cattle Dog Mix). Look no further if you want the best care for your pet!”
“She took great care of our little dog, was patient with her when she was a little nervous at the start. Sent regular updates and paca seemed happy when I picked her up. Would definitely ask her again!”
“I got so many pictures and updates throughout my trip that showed me Phoebe was well cared for, given lots of love and attention. I could see that Phoebe felt at peace and made herself at home in Joan’s care. This was our 2nd time booking through Joan and we will book again!”
“Jim did a great job watching my dog while I was on vacation. In addition to giving her all of his attention , he took her on many walks and sent pictures of her throughout each day. We are repeat customers and will definitely use Jim’s services again!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”

Michelle and her family took really great care of our Fiona! She definitely enjoyed her time there especially with the kids! Michelle provided photos and updates on Fiona’s seven day boarding and was super easy to reach to for any questions we may have. Thank you Michelle and family for giving our Fiona the extra love, care, and attention while we were away ❤️
Grant and Yunrui took excellent care of Sarge! He's a good boy but he's a dog reactive so I always look for people that can handle that and they did a great job with him. It was also important that there was someone there with him during most of the day because that's what he's used to and he gets anxious by himself. Sarge truly had a great time with them and it was a vacation for him too!
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️
MC is THE BEST! I have a senior dog and I know that MC is experienced with senior dogs and every picture I get shows me that Jezabel is so calm and relaxed. She was super flexible with me in accommodating some additional days that I had requested before the original booking. Also, she lives in a place with lots of grass and little hills for doggies to climb. MC is my go-to sitter for my sweet girl, and I highly recommend using her to care for your baby.
Jessica was absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive with our dog, Duke. Since we’ve only ever been away from him once before, we were a bit nervous, but she made the entire experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear from the start that Duke was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, stayed attentive to his needs, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the level of care and attention she gave our pup. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you again for taking such great care of Duke!
Theodora was a last minute lifesaver for me as I had a last minute work trip and needed a sitter. She was friendly and professional and took the time to understand my pup’s care. She is also the most communicative sitter I’ve had as I received daily messages and photos of him. Highly recommend her!
My experience with Azaria was fantastic. My dog can be a bit shy and suspicious with strangers but she worked her magic and had him feeling at ease. She was happy to accommodate for all of my instructions and his needs. She provided frequent updates so I never had to wonder how they were getting along. I wouldn't hesitate to book Azaria again!

FAQs for Boarding - Occoquan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Occoquan on Rover is $37.45 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 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 July 2026, there are 7,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Occoquan. 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 Occoquan 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 Occoquan 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 Occoquan 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 Occoquan.
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 Occoquan 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.
