“I had a last min emergency and Rebecca was great for helping me. She sent me a picture everyday that she had my baby. Everything seems to have gone fine. I appreciate her willingness to work with me last min and to help.”
“My dog had a great time. Came home and went right to sleep. Sabine sent a ton of photos and contacted me if she had any questions about the care of Duke. Super friendly and great.”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Thank you, Marcela, for taking such good care of Cooper this weekend. We really appreciate your flexibility, kindness, and compassion. We look forward to seeing you again soon and know that Cooper does too!”
“This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them again.”
“Heather was communicative and sent many photos of our Pup during his visit. During our booking Heather was watching multiple different pets; so keep that in mind when doing your research and booking. She has a very spacious backyard for your dog to run around in”
“Amazing sitter! Second time using David and he goes above and beyond and really made peach feel at home! Always sent pictures and very easy to communicate with! My go to sitter!”
“We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“This was the first time we have had our dog Keetna stay with Sarah. He seemed so happy while he was there and was having such fun! There is no doubt that he was well taken care of. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Jim was excellent with my pups and I can tell they really enjoyed staying with him. I stayed updated with how they were doing as he sent me photos of them multiple times a day. I will definitely be back and would recommend him to all my friends.”
“Kimberly was a great dog sitter for my dog (Luna). She sent updates daily with pictures. She was very thoughtful and a great care taker. I would define have her dog sit again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jona. She is kind, patient, and took the time to truly understand our dogs' needs and routine. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Jona is incredibly attentive, not just to our dog, but to all the dogs in her care, and creates a warm, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. We would happily book with Jona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Rosalina was awesome. I had someone cancel on me and she was able to accept the job very last minute. She sent so many pictures each day. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
About: I've been a lifelong dog owner and currently have two Border Collies, including a puppy, so I'm experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels. My husband and I both work from home, allowing us to provide plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care instructions, and sticking to each dog's routine. Our home has a large, fully fenced yard and access to nearby walking trails, and we provide enrichment through walks, play, and interactive toys. I treat every dog like family and send regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because my husband and I both work from home. Dogs are rarely left alone and get frequent potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking breaks to play outside, go for walks on the nearby trails, or simply relax in our large fenced yard while the dogs explore. I follow each pet's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime routines, so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, play, and explore in our large, fully fenced yard while always being supervised. I take time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent care. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding and exercise schedules, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Camila was awesome! Despite my travel plans adjusting last minute she was extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the stay. Grateful for her passion and professionalism.”
“Peaches thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Ada. Peaches warmed to Ada immediately; there was no separation anxiety for Peaches. And when I returned Peaches did not display her normal anxiety from being away from me. She was happy and almost wanting to stay. I will definitely be using Ada the next time I need a sleepover night for Peaches.”
“It’s the second time Chili and Pepper stay with Chelsea-Jo and Austin, this time for two weeks. They are great! Took care of them, treated them as part of the family, sent texts and pictures everyday (great pictures by the way) and Chili and Pepper were happy and comfortable with them.”
“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”

Erin and her family were the best sitters we have ever had for Bear. On the first day, Bear became one of the family. Her dogs played with Bear everyday. Also, Erin sent us pics with updates everyday. We couldn't ask for a better Family to care for Bear while we were away. Erin will be our first contact to take care of Bear our next vacation.
We love Lilly and her family! They always take such great care of our dog. They have been watching her off and on for years, back when she was young and now that she’s older and has oral meds to take. She is always well cared for and it’s hard to get her to leave at the end of her stay!
I can't say enough great things about Debra! As a first-time Rover customer, I was a little nervous about leaving my two pups, but she quickly eased all my concerns. From the very beginning, she was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves animals. During the meet-and-greet, she treated my dogs like family! My travel plans included flying, and I ended up dealing with delays on my way home. Even with the unexpected schedule change, Debra remained incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Debra is the person to call. She has definitely become my go-to sitter, and I look forward to booking with her again!
Veronica was great with our dog. It was most important to us that she only took a single client at a time. She has two small dogs as well who get along very well with other dogs, including ours. She was very responsive and engaged and sent us daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring to us while we were on vacation.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Occoquan on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,964 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.
