“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”

“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Thank you Sophie for treating our girl like your own, she’s always in the best hands with you. She had the best time sniffing your gardens, playing with Love, getting sprinkler time, and all the pets - she didn’t want to leave today 😆 .”
“It was so easy coordinating Milo’s meet-and-greet and first daycare day with Asia. All the great reviews are well deserved—we’d absolutely recommend her. Milo was clearly well cared for and came home happy and healthy.”
“Mae is an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout my dogs stay, and was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. She also took my dog on multiple long walks, and he seemed so happy afterward. Highly recommend her services!”
“Highly recommend Mai Anh (Bee) for dog daycare and boarding! She is the most attentive, caring and responsive dog sitter I’ve had. She loves pups like they’re her own and offers total peace of mind while sitting.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats! From a personal level, I have done dog walking, dog/cat sitting, to a professional level, working for a wildlife conservation nonprofit. I am experienced with puppies and kittens, as well as seniors. I will take care of your fur baby(ies) as if they were my own! I am home full-time so I will be able to give all my attention to your fur baby(ies)! I can and will follow your instructions and recommendations. 🐶 I am available to take your dog(s) on walks and hikes, and/or the occasional bike ride. Play fetch in the fenced yard or tug of war indoors on bad weather days. My priority is to provide a home-away-from-home space following your routine as close as possible. And lots of affection if needed! 🐱 By default, my visits will include feeding, replenishing water, discarding litter, and playing and/or spending time with your cat(s). I let cat(s) come to me, sniff my scent, and trust me without invading their boundaries.
“Andrew is a first class dog professional. Flexible, reliable, and has a true knack with dogs. He helped us out on short notice and we could not be happier. You will be extremely happy that you chose Andrew. 5 stars—easy.”
“Reliable, friendly and flexible, Tehani is the consummate professional. Henry is genuinely excited when he sees her and comes home happy. Highly recommended”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Cappuccino today. He had such a good time and was taken care of so well. The updates throughout the day were so cute especially with Harper!”
“We asked Susan to watch our pup for a few days and were so thrilled with her service! Ruby loved playing with The Boyz, and couldn't wait to see them again each morning. Ruby is a shy dog with people she doesn't know, but she bonded with Susan very quickly, and even fell asleep in Susan's arms, which we were amazed by! Susan has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and play, and was fantastic at keeping in touch; sending us videos and photos throughout the day. We will definitely ask Susan to dogsit for us again in the near future!”
About: I pay attention to details. I’m active if the dog is active. I love giving belly rubs for long periods if needed and I love comforting the pups if needed. I’m up early in the morning so definitely available for a quick pop in if you’re stuck at the office or if your pup just needs some lovin before you come home! I love pets and I just wanna be around them so this is the perfect way to spend my spare time! My work schedule at the moment I work nights so I usually go in about 4 pm and then depending on the work load I could stay for 12+ hours getting off around 4-5 in the morning. I can easily crate dogs if needed, I will keep your dog out of harm on walks by walking on the other side of the street of another dog entirely if they don’t seem friendly. Any notes you have will be helpful but I have plenty experience with my purebred blue nose Pitt Logan.
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals with special needs. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s administering medication, going for long walks, or simply offering quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit each animal’s age, energy level, and any medical or behavioral conditions they may have. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well-cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and a cat, my daily routine naturally revolves around keeping both my family and my pets happy and healthy. Mornings start with feeding everyone and making sure the dogs get their first walk or some backyard playtime to burn off energy. I scoop the litter box, refresh the cat’s water, and give her some quiet attention—she loves to hang out near me while eat breakfast. Throughout the day, I build in regular potty breaks for the dogs, play sessions, and cuddle time, making sure each pet gets individual attention. I keep a close eye on their behavior, health, and routines, and I’m always available for medication, grooming, or just being a comforting presence. With my flexible schedule, I can provide consistent, loving care and maintain a calm, safe environment for all animals in my home. As a stay-at-home mom, I naturally bring a nurturing, attentive approach to everything I do—including pet sitting. My days are structured and consistent, which means your pet will have a reliable routine filled with care, companionship, and plenty of love. I'm always home, so I can offer constant supervision, regular feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to juggling responsibilities with care and patience, and I treat every pet like a member of the family. Whether your pet needs quiet comfort, high-energy play, or a little extra attention due to age or medical needs, I’m fully present and ready to provide responsible, loving care at all times.
“Pickles LOVED her day spent with Katerine & Brian! We received updates and pictures of Pickles throughout her day! This is the first time Pickles has ever been left with anyone other than family or friends, and naturally we were nervous - but the updates truly helped us feel at ease! Thanks again, we would definitely reach out to Katerine for her service again, while in the DC area!”

“Han and Patrick were great! My dog is nervous around new people but it was clear that they made him feel at home. They sent lots of pictures and were so prompt with pickup and drop off - always waiting right outside when I arrived! Han was so accommodating with last minute changes to the schedule that I had as well. Dash was well taken care of and we will rebook again!”

mina LOVED her stay with kara and devin. they also assisted with potty training her and it was a big help. it’s very hard finding someone you can trust but they did not disappoint and were serious when they said they would treat ur dog like family. mina had a wonderful experience being with them and they kept up with updates of her. i would recommend them!
Our dog Indigo had a great stay with Victoria. She was very welcoming and helped our shy dog adjust and feel at home. Her very friendly dog was also a great friend to our pup, which I know helped too. Victoria was accommodating to our schedule, kept us informed, and took great care of our dog. We'll definitely be back and I'm sure our Indigo will be excited to see her again!
Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.
Marley had such a great time with Hyunbang and Love! I'm nervous every time I leave her since Marley is an anxious girl, but Hyunbang's calming presence and regular communication put me completely at ease. I loved the constant updates and adorable photos throughout the day. My girl clearly had a blast! We have boarding booked with her in a few weeks, and I am relieved to know Marley will be in such good hands.
Patrick took great care of Lily, and I always feel comfortable knowing she's in good hands while I'm at work. He is someone I trust, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Lily absolutely loves coming to his house, and from the photos he shares, she always looks relaxed, happy, and comfortable. It's reassuring to know she's being well cared for and enjoying herself throughout the day. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter or daycare provider!
They made Chance and Po feel so at home. Both the home and back yard (fully fenced in) are clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Anya was very welcoming of both of them, and somehow both Sarah and her husband made our incredibly shy dog feel comfortable enough to ask for pets, which absolutely never happens. 10/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Annandale on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Annandale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,058 sitters in Annandale, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
