“Nina was amazing! She was quick and friendly when communicating and I appreciated the multiple photo/video updates throughout my pup’s stay. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Corey is so easy to work with - quick responses and was available on short notice and we are so grateful for that! Our dogs were in great care and got walks and loving. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Iryana was amazing, she sent updates with photos and videos throughout the day. I can confidently say my dogs were well taken care off. Our dogs will definitely be rovered with her again.”
“We've been sending our dog to Wyatt's on a weekly basis for a few months now and it's been wonderful! He sends us photos of her playing around with her buddies in the large backyard, and she always seems happy and good-tired when she gets back home. We've also left her there for overnights; it's so good having a place you can feeling comfortable leaving your dog if you have to head out of town. Would definitely recommend Wyatt to anyone!”
“Taylor was a very kind and let me know how they were doing and sent me pics which I truly appreciate and we hope to count on her for upcoming sitter daycare and possible boarding for our vacation days!”
“Smitha was very friendly from the start and jingles had no issue feeling safe the minute we dropped him. We were given frequent updates via photos and comments during the stay. Jingles seemed really happy and enjoyed the playtime in their yard. We will be connect with Smitha in the near future for Jingles boarding.”
“Dip had a great time with Marcel. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Plenty of yard space, great location, attentive care and walks added up to a good day for Dip at Marcel’s.”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”
“Eun’s communication and responsiveness is top notch! She’s also very flexible and have taken our dog on last minute/same day requests. She also takes great care of our dog, Oscar.”
About: I provide private, personalized care for only one household of pets at a time. I specialize in senior dogs, anxious or reactive pets, puppies, and pets needing medication or additional supervision. Every family receives detailed updates, photos, and care tailored to their pet’s normal routine. I understand that leaving your pet means trusting someone with a beloved member of your family. My goal is for you to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving one-on-one care that mirrors their routine at home. I intentionally limit my bookings so every family receives my full attention, detailed updates, and personalized care from start to finish. I believe every successful booking starts with honest communication. I work closely with each family before the stay to understand their pet’s routines, behaviors, and any special considerations. This allows me to create a personalized care plan so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pet always gets consistent attention. I’m home often and keep a flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate different routines, special needs, or last-minute changes. Safety is my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with supervised care and close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. To provide truly individualized care, I intentionally accept only one household of pets at a time. Your pets receive my undivided attention without the stress of being around multiple unfamiliar pets. My dog, June, will be the only resident pet staying with your pet(s) during their visit. I carefully consider every booking to ensure that all pets are comfortable, safe, and a good fit together. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and special instructions closely while providing regular updates, photos, and communication throughout their stay. Because I provide care in my own home, I thoughtfully screen each booking to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. Before every stay, I ask detailed questions about potty habits, marking, anxiety, energy levels, behaviors, and any special care instructions. This preparation allows me to maintain a clean, safe environment and provide personalized care that helps your pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home.

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!
Ashley took really good care of our 9 month pup, Coco. She sends very consistent updates, is an excellent communicator, and her pet, Cannoli, is the most adorable boy. She made sure Coco feels right at home and dealt with his energy with a lot of grace and attention. We're looking forward to boarding with her after doing daycare. Thank you Ashley!!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Arcola on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 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 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 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 4,836 sitters in Arcola, 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.
