“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 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!”
“They took a great care with Minnie for the day care. They were responsive to our messages and even took pictures to let us know how she's doing. Overall, good experience for us and Minnie.”
About: Family‑style care with 15 years’ experience. Daily photo updates, safe walks, and cozy stays. I’ve learned every pet is unique—kind when needed, calmly firm when it helps. Trustworthy, community‑rooted, flexible—your pet’s second home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I’m a busy mom and also a dog owner — I have a friendly 5-year-old male Goldendoodle who loves meeting new friends. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my part-time schedule, and I make sure every animal gets the attention and love they deserve. I’m usually available on Thursdays, Fridays, weekends, and often on holidays. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets are treated like family — they have a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention and playtime. My 5-year-old male Goldendoodle is friendly and gentle, and he enjoys having other dogs around, so visiting pets always feel welcome. If your dog uses a crate, please let me know — sometimes it helps them feel more secure and relaxed. I also have a nice dog park nearby, which is great for walks, exercise, and social time when appropriate. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and keep open communication so we’re always on the same page. I use common sense to know when a pet needs calm time or playtime. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, just like at home.

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: I've been caring and loving animals since I was a little girl. Have no fear your new 🐕 lover is here to make sure that they have the best care! My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover! She will be supervised but I just wanted to have something for her to do on her free time. Plus she could watch animals and earn money at the same time so its a win win! I am home most of the time during weekdays I will let you know if you contact me and I won't be available. I'm very flexible. If your dog need care I'll do my best to help you so you don't have to stress. I'm home full time. I have a fenced yard. Its dog parks close as well as trails for nice long walks and talks while I care for your pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
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! ❤️🐾
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!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Arcola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Arcola is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,820 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Arcola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,820 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of VA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
