“Alexia is an INCREDIBLE sitter! She gave us daily updates with pictures and made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. Our dog returned home in such good spirits. He was given so much love and cuddles! We would highly recommend Alexia as a sitter.”
“Judy was so amazing with Toby during his 3 night stay! She sent updates each day of all the fun things they were doing together. She is very attentive and he was very well taken care of! We really appreciate her and look forward to another stay!”
“Mr. Jeong did a wonderful job taking care of our Bunny. Bunny is always nervous being away from us but I could tell through the communication and pics that Mr. Jeong sent that he was comfortable and enjoying himself. When being picked up, Bunny turned back to say goodbye and we knew he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jeong and would love to use him again in the future.”
“Remy looked like he was very comfortable and happy with Andrew and his family! It was great to get some fun photo updates and hear how well Remy did settling in and being well taken care of.”
“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!!!! ❤️”
“Peppa had a great time with Tatiana. We felt very comfortable leaving Peppa with Tatiana. She is patient, calm and loving. Her home reflects that as well. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry one!”
“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!”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“This was the first time our dog, Shira, stayed with Catherine, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Catherine asked a number of questions about Shira so that she could make her feel comfortable and relaxed as Shira can be anxious in new environments. Catherine also took Shira on multiple walks and gave her lots of attention so that after just a few hours Shira was feeling right at home.”
“we were a first time user to Rover and we were 100% satisfied with our host Karmen for our golden doodle. The host made us completely comfortable so that we could Enjoy our one week’s vacation and was extremely communicative with us during the entire process. We highly recommend her to any person who wants the best care possible! She treated our dog like a family member!”
“Angelique provided my dog with a great experience. She is responsive, thorough, and detail oriented. She provided me with pictures and information about my dog while he was in her care. We will definitely engage her services again!”
“Fen received the best care while staying with Jennifer, her family, and their pupper Henry. Jennifer provided photos and updates throughout the weekend and always responded within minutes to my messages. Would love to have her care for our Fen again anytime!”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“Our Bichon, Jaxon, stayed with Sherine for a week and we couldn't be more pleased. You could tell that she is a dog person and loves dogs. Jaxon is a picky eater so she made chicken and potatoes and mixed it with his food (she asked first, of course!). Her communication was prompt and she sent daily updates and pictures of Jaxon. He was often seen playing fetch in the yard or snuggling on the couch. He was also happy to have her dog to play with during his stay.”
“This is my first time i left my yorkie with a dogvacay host. I had to leave first thing in the morning. Katie and Justin was so kind to pick up my baby at such short notice. They're very kind and generous. I would recommend them to anyone. My yorkie loved their children. Katie would always send me pictures everyday and give me updates on my baby. If i need someone to take care of my baby again. I will definitely go to katie and justin. Thank you katie and justin. Have a happy new year!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the personalized, dependable care I provide to every pet I meet. I treat your pets like family, taking the time to understand their unique needs, personalities, and routines. I also make time each week to: • Prepare supplies (treats, toys, leashes, litter, etc.) • Review and update care notes for each pet • Maintain strong communication with pet parents through updates and photos I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I maintain a calm, clean, and supervised environment, free of hazards, with designated areas for sleep, play, and meals. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or cuddles—so they experience minimal disruption while away from their family. Pets in my care are never left alone for long, and I offer frequent potty breaks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention throughout the day.
About: I will treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with dogs most of my life and recently lost a dog-son to a cancer 2 years ago. I do prefer non-shedding dogs due to allergies which allows me to provide a clean and comfortable environment for both your pet and my family. As a stay-at-home mom to a two-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and affection. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and loved as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets lots of time and attention. Walks, playtime, feeding, and rest are all built into our day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of our daily family life. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I prefer caring for non-shedding dogs due to allergies, which helps maintain a healthy space for everyone.
“Hoa is a wonderful sitter. She was always updating us with pictures and videos. Hoa is very caring. She even put extra jacket for my dog when weather was very cold. I feel very lucky to find her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She constantly sent pictures and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. More importantly, Bailey was treated like family. Not just by Courtney, but by her entire family, including the kids, who gave her so much love and attention. You can tell they genuinely care about animals, and it showed in every interaction. Bailey had an amazing time, and I would use Courtney again every chance I get. Highly recommended.”

Our dog (Viko) felt at home with Katie. Viko stayed during the 4th of July weekend, and is scared of fireworks. Katie took great care of Viko during that time. Katie kept us updated daily with Viko's activities. We'll definitely use Katie's services in the future. ❤️🐶
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!
Staying with Heather and her lovely family was a wonderful experience for our dog Nia. Heather offered a meetup before the visit which was helpful to get to know the family and her dog Rosie. During the stay, Heather shared pictures regularly - which was comforting to see that Nia was having so much fun. Nia missed them all when I picked her up and she was very sad for a day. I would definitely look for Heather for our future needs to sit Nia and highly recommend her to any one looking for their pet.
Vaani was absolutely wonderful! She was always quick to respond and incredibly easy to communicate with. We especially loved the photos she shared of our little furball. They meant so much while we were away. She took excellent care of Rosie, who came home happy, well cared for, and completely content. It was clear Rosie was in loving hands. I would highly recommend Vaani to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive cat sitter. She made the entire experience smooth and stress free, giving us real peace of mind during our travels.
Amazing experience from start to finish. They were attentive at the meet-and-greet, kept us updated with daily photos and videos, and made sure our dog felt comfortable with familiar items from home. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup and will definitely book again.
Amy is wonderful pet sitter! My little dog has separation anxiety, Amy went extra mile to make him comfort. She handled him such a patience and genuine care. She is communicative with videos and updates, and attentive to details. Amy is affectionate to pets. I would certainly recommend her.
Coco had a fantastic time boarding with Nina, Maggie, and Kobe. Nina is very kind, caring, and looks after Coco really well. Her communication and updates are the best! She makes sure he gets his meals and walks on time and plays his favorite game of fetch with him. We love boarding Coco with Nina. Looking forward to more slumber pawties!
Irene was a wonderful sitter for Bella! She went above and beyond to ensure that Bella was comfortable and happy. She pays attention to details, asks good questions, and made Bella's stay as fun as possible. She noticed a small medical issue beginning during Bella's stay and clearly communicated the issues to us and worked with us to ensure Bella was treated quickly. We are so happy that Bella was well taken care of while we were out of town.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - South Riding
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in South Riding on Rover is $55.5 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 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 7,288 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.
