Kyle was wonderful with Guinness! We received daily updates with pictures, making us feel better while away from our pup. You can tell Kyle truly cares about the dogs he sits, his attention to detail reporting back on meal time and their physical activity is impressive! And Guinness’ ears already perk up with you say “Ross & Denver” so we know he made good friends! 10/10 woof book again ;-D.

We had a truly wonderful experience entrusting our 4-year-old cat, Mufasa, to Tatiana’s care. She provided thoughtful, attentive care and kept us updated with daily messages, which was incredibly reassuring. Knowing that Mufasa stayed comfortably at home, happily spending time with her beautiful cat Enzo, gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!

Derek and Cheryl took great care of our aging beagle, Michelle, while we were out of town. It was short notice but they were flexible with their time friendly throughout the process of booking her stay. They provided daily photos and updates on how she was doing and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Michelle was more than happy with Derek and Cheryl’s care and so were we! Would highly recommend!

About: I have several years of experience caring for my own (fur) baby girl 'Ginger', which has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly provide doggy daycare for my friends' dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making them feel safe and comfortable. Since I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. My Experience Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm committed to building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners through dependable, loving care. What You Can Expect Every booking includes: Daily updates Multiple photos Walks and potty breaks Playtime and enrichment Plenty of affection Respect your pet's routine I mostly work from home, I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, ensure they stay on their routine, and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. I will provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and at home. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. Since I work from home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and receive regular supervision throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, access to fresh water at all times, and plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and play. I also provide updates with photos and messages so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

Poornima was amazing! She helped us out last minute over the weekend and took such good care of our dog. She kept us updated with texts and videos, which made us feel so much better while we had to be away unexpectedly. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally comfortable with her. We’re really grateful for how kind, thoughtful, and reliable she was. We’d happily book with Poornima again and definitely recommend her!

It was our first time with Sujan and he is the true dog whisperer. He took lots of walks and fed him very well with special treats - yogurts and toppers! He read Muffin’s emotional cues so well and let him feel less anxious while fur parents are away. Sujan sent us so many photos of Muffin daily and we were so happy and relieved to see him doing well far away. We would definitely recommend Sujan!

Sudha is AMAZINGG!!! From the time we scheduled the meet and greet to the very end, Bailey and I both immediately felt so comfortable with Sudha and her adorable pup Thor. Bailey has stayed with many dog sitters, but she’s never warmed up to someone this quickly and I’ve never felt this confident in having someone outside our family take care of Bailey as I did with Sudha. Highly recommend!!!! ❤️

This was my pups first time being boarded and I was a bit anxious. Mei and her family took good care of Sandy and Oreo sending pictures and videos daily showing them on walks and in the house playing.Mei also sent pictures of their sleeping arrangements (I brought their dog beds) asking if it was a good set up for them. I would definitely recommend Mei and her family for anyone’s small breed fur babies.

My two sibling dogs so enjoyed staying with Hoa! As always, they got excited in the car knowing we were on our way. Hoa lets them run around and chase each other in her fenced back yard to their heart's content. Hoa provides toys, treats and interaction in a fun environment. Chewy and Reggie love "camp" at Hoa's house. I can travel in peace knowing they are safe and happy.

About: I've been with dogs since I was a kid, and honestly, I can't explain my attachment to these beautiful souls. When I look into their eyes, I see pure love—and I believe they deserve nothing less in return. For years, I've onboarded and cared for dogs, learning their personalities, their quirks, their fears. I understand separation anxiety deeply, and I make it my mission to turn your absence into comfort, not stress. When your dog stays with me, they're not in a kennel or with a "sitter." They're at home. Your pup will have: 1) A warm, cozy vacation home where they're part of my family—including my own dog, who provides constant companionship and helps anxious pups feel safe 2) Adventure & Exercise: Long walks, hiking trails, and outdoor playtime—because a happy dog is an active dog 3) Structure with Love: Meals on schedule, plus treats I've earned through their good behavior—think fresh boiled chicken, their favorite reward 4) Real Connection: I treat every dog like my own. Not because it's my job, but because I genuinely can't help it. I work from home, so the pups get 24/7 care and attention. My day revolves around the dogs: morning walks, midday adventures, weekend trials, regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, playtime, and constant companionship. They're never alone—never crated—never waiting. They won't experience separation anxiety here. They'll experience a loving home where they're part of my daily routine, every single day. Pups get a warm, cozy, dog-friendly environment where they're treated like family. They have access to comfortable spaces, toys, water, and safe outdoor areas. My own dog is here too, providing constant companionship—especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. They're never alone, never crated. Daily Care in My Home: Nutrition: Meals on schedule, portion-controlled, with fresh boiled chicken treats (their favorite!) Exercise: Multiple walks and hikes daily, playtime, outdoor adventures based on each dog's energy level Comfort: Bedding, safe spaces, cuddle time, and the security of knowing I'm always here Attention: Individualized care—I learn each dog's personality, fears, and needs from day one Health: Medication management, scheduled potty breaks, and monitoring their wellbeing

Her home is well equipped with everything a dog might need including gates and a fenced backyard. At our meet-and-greet, we instantly felt that our dog is welcome not just by Andrea, but also by both of her little dogs. Overall, she exceeded our expectations with a wonderful service. We will definitely come back again!

Lydia took great care of both my dog Romeo and my grandmas dog, Buddy. She sent me photos and videos nearly every day and updates on how they are doing. This was greatly appreciated as this was the first time we had left our babies for this long of a time. We were very nervous about the separation, but with the updates and pictures from Lydia, we felt more and more at ease. Her family spent time with our babies too and loved them as their own. I would definitely leave Romeo with Lydia and her family again and I encourage you to do the same! Thank you Lydia 🩷

We could not be happier with the care our Goldendoodle received! Our pup is a bundle of endless energy, and Nitin handled that high-spirited enthusiasm with incredible patience, kindness, and attentiveness. Nitin's communication throughout the stay was prompt and reliable, keeping us completely at ease with regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog sitter and will definitely be booking again!

I had an amazing experience with Jinah this past weekend! She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell from the moment I picked her up that she was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Her home was very clean, safe, and welcoming, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept my dog engaged with puzzles, toys, and fun activities instead of just letting her sit around all day. It was obvious she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and stimulated. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and excellent care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

This was our first time leaving Ace with Nisha & family, they made it a great experience. They followed our feeding and medication routines. I've received texts and daily photo updates. Ace seems warmed up and got along with their dog Tyrion and toddler son soon after he was left. It is so nice to be able to leave Ace with them and know that he is loved and taken care of when we are not home.

Darlin was amazing with my 3.5 month old puppy. He needed to do a last minute vet visit before he was dropped off and she was incredibly flexible with our schedule, which helped reduce my stress before going out of town for a few days. While he was there it sounded like he had the best time and got a ton of love despite being deep into his land shark/piranha phase. It was such a relief to know that my pup was not only safe, taken care of, but was also having a truly great time. I highly recommend and will be looking to her next time I need someone to watch my pup!

FAQs for Boarding - South Riding

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in South Riding on Rover is $56.61 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 7,280 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Riding. About 91% of South Riding 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
