“Roman & Rebecca were great. I had to make a few adjustments to the booking and they were very understanding about the situation. I will definitely book again”
“Carlos was amazing! I was nervous to leave Coco with a sitter but Carlos was kind, patient and an obvious dog lover. He kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and stories of what she was doing. I absolutely plan on using him for future trips!”
“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.”
“Camila is a very kind sitter. She watched our 14 year old dog Darwin for a week while went out of state on family business. She took excellent care of him, sent us pictures, and let us know how he was doing throughout the week. We didn’t have to worry about his care so we could focus on our family’s needs. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“David and his family were great for my dog! Very communicative through the whole process and made us comfortable at the meet and greet. They sent plenty of pictures of my dog accompanying their everyday life, so I know he was well taken care of and had a great time. Will definitely book David and his family again!”
“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.”
“Marcela did an outstanding job taking care of our cat, Mystic. She kept us informed on how he was doing throughout our trip. It was obvious that he was well taken care of. We will use her services through Rover.com again.”
“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 😂🤣”
“Abby and her family were wonderful care givers of our elderly pets. Our buddies were in their care for more than a week and I can tell they were able to stick to the feeding routine. Our pets comeback in good shape. Thanks Abby and family!”
“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 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 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.”
“Thank you very much for the wonderful care of my two dogs. I appreciated the updates and photos during their stay. We are very happy to have found a caring dog sitter.”
“I had a last minute work assignment and was looking for a doggie sitter for my two doggies. I sent a request and immediately received a response. I dropped my doggies at my scheduled time. I picked them up the next day and my two doggies did not want to leave. They had a great time playing with Megha and Irene’s doggies. The fenced yard was a plus and the home was neat, orderly and dog friendly.”
“Cheryl & Gustavo were amazing with my dog. I hated to leave her but felt totally comfortable with them. They gave her so much attention and I know she was well taken care of. They sent me pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Rosario was really good with my dog she sent pictures throughout the day and made me feel at ease while I was away traveling. I would definitely use her as a sitter again she was great!”
“Jona is an absolute gem! I had to leave town last-minute for work, and she took in my pup with such kindness, patience, and care. She kept me updated regularly with photos, thoughtful messages, and insights about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond in every way. I was in a rush the day I dropped him off (and my little monster decided to snatch his leash right before we left), so I had to leave him without one. Jona didn’t miss a beat - she provided a sturdy leash and handled everything so calmly and generously. That kind of support meant a lot to me. She treated him like family; taking him on walks, helping reinforce his training, and making sure he stayed comfortable in the summer heat. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her home is a safe, caring space, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby with real love and attention, Jona is the one. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Occoquan
Meshelle is outstanding with our poodle. He loves being with her family. He is very well taken care for. I will recommend Meshelle to anyone who is looking for dog sitter. She is very responsive, friendly and communicative. Thank you for taking care of our Kingsley Meshelle.
This was our first time using the Rover app, and Rebecca made the entire experience wonderful. She kept great communication throughout our dogs’ stay and regularly sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Leaving our dogs with someone new for the first time was nerve racking, but Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and loved while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
They were awesome! Grant and Yunrui were so great with my Miama and sent me plenty of photos and updates on how she was doing during my trip which eased my nervousness on leaving her. They were also super patient since my dog is a little reactive and were completely understanding and nice about it. I would most definitely book with them again!
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!
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.
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 Dog Boarding - Occoquan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Occoquan on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 7,078 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.
