“Really appreciate Rebeca helping dog sit our sweet boy, Bailey with very little notice! She was very communicative throughout the whole process and while we were out of town which I very much appreciated. Love that she has a big fenced in backyard space too. Will definitely keep her in mind for our next dog sitting needs!”
“Marcela and her family are the best pet sitters! I had to find a sitter for my hyper Shiba Inu puppy and kitty cat. Marcela sent me daily updates with pics, and Dolly and queen had a great time with Marcela and her family. If you need a sitter to trust your “fur babies” with, Marcela is your gal ???”
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Vronnie...and, I'm so glad we did! My daughter and her dog felt right at home during our meet and greet. Her home and conversation was so warm that she felt like family. During her stay, Vronnie sent us pictures and a little write-up everyday, which my daughter loved. Her puppy looked like she was enjoying herself and the many walks that Vronnie took her on to get exercise. I'm glad we found Vronnie and have made her our permanent dogsitter.”
“10/10 stars! This was our second time having Carlos watch our pup and it was an amazing experience. I could clearly see how much Whiskey enjoyed his time as when we dropped him off the second time, he acted like we were not there. He immediately wanted to go on a walk with Carlos when he got there. On top of that Carlos sends frequent updates and almost professional like photos! Highly recommend Carlos for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Fantastic experience overall! Heather did a great job taking care of our high-energy pitbull during our 8-day vacation. She kept us updated regularly, sent lots of pictures, and really helped put our minds at ease. Thank you so much, Heather!”
“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!”
“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 were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“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!”
“We are so happy to have found Ada for our recent long weekend away! She took great care of our pup, Elsie, and sent pictures throughout the weekend so we knew she was happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend Ada.”
“We booked last minute and Cortney was incredibly accommodating and transparent about her availability. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, sending just the right amount of updates. Our pup came home happy and relaxed. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Rosalina was very attentive; she communicated thoroughly with me about my fur baby (Percy). Percy enjoyed himself, the amount of happy pictures concurred this, and I were at ease the whole time he was with Rosalina and her watchful care. Hoping to book again in the future.”
“Does a great job giving updates when asked. Got some great pics. Treated Ilona like she was part of the family. They bonded with her so much they were sad to see her leave.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter! I was nervous to leave my dog for the first time but she put any fears at ease. She was communicative and it’s obvious our pup had a blast!”
“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 😂🤣”
“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!”
“Loki enjoyed his stay with Camila and her family. She sent us pictures and told us how he was doing each day while we were on our trip. Her kids were good to Loki. He is a rescue and I am sure he was anxious to be left again. Camila understood and made sure he had lots of snuggles pets to and treats. We appreciate them giving him lots of love on his first time away from home.”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our two pups for over a week! Communication was great, and she consistently sent photos to keep us updated. I could tell the pups enjoyed their stay with Michelle, and we'll definitely try to book with her again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Occoquan
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.
Lilly has been our go to, trusted care provider for several long vacations. And as hard as it is to be away from our dog, Lilly sends daily pictures to reassure us that our dog is in THE BEST HANDS with her! I recommend Lilly to everyone I know in need of pet sitting services.
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!

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.
