“Yang took amazing care of Ranger. She sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. She was clearly attentive to his comfort and routine. She also accommodated my early work schedule, which I truly appreciated. Ranger came home calm and happy each day. I would absolutely book with Yang again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care.”
“Nitin was great with Almond. Almond was a little hesitant at first but when it was time to go home, Almond wanted to stay longer. Nitin took him walks and sent pictures. Definitely a 5 star visit.”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog with Sudharani, she was very active answering messages, sending pictures and updates. My dog Ruby was super happy. We will definitely book again:)”
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.

“Aastha and her family did the most wonderful job taking care of Winston! They were incredibly attentive, loving, and welcoming, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. Their home is warm, inviting, and very pet friendly. Winston absolutely loved playing with their dog Scoops and had such a great time running around and enjoying their backyard. It was clear that Winston was treated like part of their family, which meant so much to us. I would 100% recommend Aastha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely loving with pets. We will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐾”

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
About: Hi! I truly enjoy being around animals and caring for them like they’re part of the family. My husband, our 3-year-old son, and I all love having pets around—we’re a home full of energy, love, and cuddles! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the day and week. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will have plenty of attention, playtime and companionship. I can easily fit your needs into my daily routine. I have a dedicated space in my home which can be used for pet care throughout. Also, with a fenced backyard , it is an easy and convenient place for pets.
“I can’t say enough good things about June! She is one the most caring, hands on, and caring dog sitter I have met through Rover. She truly cares about your pet and will make sure she takes wonderful care of them. So glad to have found her! Our dog had the best day with her and her family.. the videos and pics she sent attest to that! Thank you June!”
“Lydia was absolutely wonderful with our pup Joey today. She was warm, welcoming, and very friendly, which instantly put me at ease. Joey can be quite shy and anxious, but Lydia took great care of him and made sure he felt comfortable throughout the day. I really appreciated the regular updates with photos, which kept me reassured that Joey was doing well. Overall, we are very pleased with Lydia’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter.”

Loved Smitha and Family. She was amazing with Luke. Luke was thrilled to go back the following week. I was stress free when Luke was with her. She kept me posted and her kids were great company for him. Thank you Smitha for helping both mom and Luke with our own versions of separation anxiety 😊
Once again an amazing day of daycare with Nina! Coco has so much fun with Kobe and Maggie, he loves it! Nina is an excellent communicator and her photo and video updates of Coco going about his day are super adorable. We feel very comfortable and at peace leaving Coco in Nina's care. Thank you!
Gurpreet was a fantastic sitter! She accepted our last minute daycare request and took great care of zeph during that time. She was super communicative, sent tons of pictures and videos and made sure zeph had a long potty walk during his stay. It was clear that zeph had a great time when he was with Gurpreet! Would happily come back when I'm in the area again! Thank you so much for watching zeph for me last week!!
Sherine took great care of my pup! I appreciated her friendly and quick communication and multiple photo/video updates throughout my pup’s stay. I was happy my dog got along with hers and had fun playing during his stay. Would definitely book with Sherine again!

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 Arcola 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
