“Carolina was so sweet and accommodating!! She had to be ready to receive my pups at 6 am, which is so early and had them for a very long day! I felt relieved knowing that my pups were in good hands. Suki is quite hyper when she first arrives to a new place and Carolina was so patient with her, a true dog lover!!”
“Taylor did a wonderful job with our Bagel! He had a blast with her Bagel (there’s two Bagels 🥯 which are both beagles). She was quite accommodating in a slight schedule change and communicated about all of our Bagel’s activities. Would love for our Bagels to get together again!”
“Jeanette was absolutely amazing! My dog Luna instantly felt at ease and smiled the whole time she was there. Jeanette sent me so many pictures and videos and in every one Luna was full smiles. Luna had a great time and we will definitely use Jeanette again. Highly recommend!”
“Jon and Johanna are great care providers. I felt totally confident with their help with my dog Enzo. They clearly love dogs, especially dachshunds and are very structured in keeping my dog engaged and active and involved with training and fun activities. I will definitely keep them in mind for future bookings. I really appreciate the help they gave me this week.”
“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.”
“Thank you, Ellen! Our pup Cici had and awesome time. She usually doesn't eat when she is at a sitter for the first time. So, we knew she felt safe and at home when she ate while she was there. We loved all the photos, and we could tell she had fun because she slept like a puppy when she came home. We will definitely see you again!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”
“Gabriela is amazing. She was so professional and detailed when keeping me updated on my pups first doggy daycare visit with her. She sent picture updates throughout the day. My dog looked so happy with her. She is so kind and I am grateful to have found her to take care of my beloved pup for doggy daycare and other Rover services. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,526 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Catharpin. 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 Catharpin 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 4,526 sitters in Catharpin, 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.
