“My son just adopted Cash a few weeks ago and we were not very familiar with Rover. But it was a great experience and Edina was fabulous. Thanks for taking good care of cash and sending the great pics as well!”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“This was the first time we used Jim for dogsitting in his house. My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Jim, and Jim sent me pictures throughout the day with updates on how she was doing. I feel comfortable using Jim again.”
“Cindy does an amazing job with Milo. Milo has separation anxiety and he’s blind. She takes care of him as if he was her own and it means so much to us. We trust her completely to leave Milo with her at any time. She’s very accommodating with both of our work schedules and is always available for us when we need help with Milo. we would recommend her service to anyone. Looking for great care for their pets.”
“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”
“I can not recommend Heather more! She was amazing and so accommodating to our last minute request. She was knowledgeable, and very very friendly. I will 100% use her in the future and I highly recommend her services!”
“Book without delay!! Benji proved to be a communicative, responsive and kind host for our pup, Cooper. Cooper had a great time in his care, evidenced by lovely pictures of fun play time activities & a happy and tired dog at day's end. :) Looking forward to rebooking Benji again.”

“Payton loves Tracey and her family. She feels like that is her home away from home. She looks forward to going to Tracey’s everyday I’ve taken her. Although she sometimes misses her kitten brother when they’re playing in the morning. Tracey is consistent and reliable and offers excellent pet care if you need someone to help out with your pet, I would definitely recommend her.”
“My puppy had a great time at Mai’s house. My puppy likes playing with other dogs. I bet that my puppy enjoyed playing with them a lot. my puppy was very comfortable there, because my puppy understands Japanese and English. I am very happy to find Mai who I can trust. I will continue taking my puppy to Mai. Thank you !!! See you soon”
About: Hello there pet owners Although I'm new to the Rover community, I am excited to begin helping those in our community with their pet sitting needs. My wife and I have reached the life stage called "empty nest." We have successfully raised two wonderful daughters. Our oldest just graduated from Penn State (Go Nittany Lions) and is beginning her Nursing career in North Carolina. Our youngest daughter is a Junior at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies), and is only home for summer break. Since 2020, I have been working from home full time, which was perfect because it allowed me to spend time at home as we welcomed our 11 lb Miniature Australian Shepherd Barkley into our life. Barkley is now 4 1/2 years old and enjoys walks in the neighborhood or local park, and chasing balls whenever someone will throw for her. Our home generally very quiet, with just Barkley and me home for the day, and my wife Suzanne home after work in the evenings and on weekends. Barkley loves other dogs, unless they are bigger and play too rough with her. She would love a playmate to run and play in our large, fenced back yard. I live in a beautiful house with a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard area. I’m here to make sure to give the best attention and best care, and would be happy to provide a stress free resort like stay for your fur baby. In addition being a dog lover, I'm also a photography enthusiast, so while your dogs are staying, I'm always looking for photo opportunities with your fur babies. I find it's a great way to connect with the dogs, and owners really enjoy receiving high quality professional images of their dogs during their visit. I work from home full time at an IT position, which allows me plenty of time for breaks to play in the back yard or go for neighborhood walks. Our back yard large is completely fenced, and provides lots of room to run and play. Our 4 year old 11 lb miniature Australian Shepherd is extremely friendly with other dogs.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know what it takes to keep one healthy and happy. Constant love and cuddles are a must. I also will also make sure that your pet is well fed when needed. Playtime not only gives exercise but affection at the same time. I will make sure to give your pets enough playtime so that they can sleep peacefully at night. I also have experience taking care of different-sized dogs, as I have taken care of many of my friends' dogs and have left them all satisfied with my work. I guarantee all of your dog's needs will be met at the highest quality. Also, my mother owns a grooming salon so we can give your dog a bath or grooming per your request. I work full time remotely so I will definitely have time to care for your fur baby! I also own a small dog and have other dogs in the house at a time. I have a fenced backyard so they can run around and play for as long as they need. We make sure the yard is clean and will supervise if need be. The dog must be friendly with other dogs. Unfortunately I cannot take dogs that shed
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I provide because, to me, dogs are family. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I care for them as if they were my own. With years of hands-on experience and a fur family that includes a Maltese, a Shih Tzu, a Labradoodle, and a Standard Poodle, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention, gentle handling, and a safe, loving environment. My dogs are friendly and get along well with others, and I always require a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and at ease with me and my home. Your furry companion’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide one-on-one attention, potty breaks, walks, and a calm, structured environment. I am mainly open to care for hypoallergenic dogs but also others on case by case basis, so just feel free to reach out. I don’t crate dogs unless requested and am happy to follow your dog’s routine for meals, walks, supplements, or special care. My dogs are trained and well behaved. If your dog needs space from mine, we have a gate that can keep them separated. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, free of contagious illnesses, and on a flea/tick prevention. Also, because my own fur babies are family members who are allowed on furniture and throughout the home, I ask that all guest doggies arrive clean and well-groomed. Please ensure your dog has been recently bathed or is free of excessive dirt, strong odors, fleas, ticks, or other hygiene concerns before drop-off. This is for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. Please know that I only accept dogs that are spayed or neutered. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all the doggies in my care.
About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“As an anxious first time dog momma I was so nervous to leave my pup with anyone. Krystal and her husband made it so easy to leave my sweet boy behind (14 week golden retriever) . I got frequent pictures lots of updates & he loved her dogs! Thank you Krystal for treating my puppy like one of your own!”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Erin and Guiness! He's apprehensive when meeting new dogs and new people, and Erin was wonderful about being patient with him and letting him warm up to her and to Guiness in his own time. Erin sent lots of photos so I could see how he was doing. I will definitely be choosing Erin for my future dog care needs!”
About: Hi! I am Victoria, a dog mom here in a quiet home in Manassas old town. Cubs is a one year old, 5 pounds yorkie who loves to nap on my lap while I work. Cubs will be happy to share all of his toys, beds, and be lazy all in the morning with cozy blankies and treats ✨ and in the afternoon, Cubs will also would love to run with your dog when we go on a walk. Cubs grew up with cats, so he knows to leave them alone! And I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m all about communicating daily. My current job is about videography/photography, so please understand when I bomb your phone with photos of your baby. I have a very quiet and calm home all to myself and Cubs, and we welcome your baby to join our home so you won’t have to worry during your travel. Please ask me any questions you might have! I work remotely at home and have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate to your baby’s schedule and needs. My job is to prioritize happiness/comfort while you are gone, so your dog chooses me over you - (please be aware as that has happened before and saw one of my clients get real sad) I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. So I’m very comfortable with cat/dog care in all stages of their lives. Also, coming from education and child development background (i used to teach in FCPS elementary for 5yrs before pandemic) , I see so much resemblance in teaching children and taking care of animals - rules and routines, along with positive rewards and experiences. And i believe building a trustworthy relationship creates a safe space for anyone or any fur babies. And I’m confident your dog/cat would wanna come back to stay with us. I’m also all about sending quite lot of pictures/videos.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canova
m was incredibly accommodating and kind while caring for Sammi during daycare while I ran errands. Since Sammi is recently post-op, I was nervous about leaving her, but Jim was more than willing to learn exactly how to care for her and follow all of her special instructions. He was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated how understanding he was of her needs during recovery. I would absolutely trust him with Sammi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Canova
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,092 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Canova. 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 Canova 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 4,092 sitters in Canova, 87% 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.
