“Dale and Karen were very sweet and cared for my dog like they would their own. They were very flexible and accommodating. They even had a little report card at the end of the day to let me know how he did. They are my go-to sitters now.”
“Sarah and her family were absolutely amazing! Sarah was extremely accommodating to our travel plans and coordinating drop off and pick up. Would definitely book again if we are ever in the area for amazing care!!”
About: I'll love them like their my own. I'm new to Rover but I've helped friends, family and neighbors care for their fur babies for the last 30 years or so. I grew up with Old English sheepdog but love all animals. My friends joke that I can't go anywhere without meeting a new dog friend. I currently have a senior dog with an autoimmune disease so I'm comfortable with providing special needs care. I'm great with all types of dogs and love meeting new friends. I'm happy to help with all care needs including walking, feeding, playing, administrating medicine, and cuddle time. I can't wait to meet my new best friend! Outside of school drop off and pick up times I'm available to help with your pets care. I'm available from 8am-10pm most days and can also do overnight if needed. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. During our consultation we can go over your pets specific needs which I'm happy to accommodate as well as a meet and greet so you and your fur baby can feel comfortable with me.
“My dogs had a great time with Rebecca! They had lots of outdoor time, safe in a fenced yard or out for walks. They napped in the sun, and made friends with Rebecca's big, calm, friendly dog, Boris. Rebecca was flexible and professional and quick to respond to communications. Thanks! We'll be back.”
“Maki is so kind, she agreed to watch Gin on late notice. Gin definitely had fun and Maki’s! Maki was great at communicating and sending pics of Gin throughout the day! Definitely recommend!”
“My dog had a blast at daycare with Colleen! He ran and ran, played with the other dogs, and Colleen took time to send a short video of him playing in the huge yard. This is doggy paradise!”
“Susan was so loving and sweet with my Rosie! She has plenty of walks and she went out of her way to make sure Rosie ate her food. I will absolutely have her watch my dog again in the future and recommend her.”
About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.
About: We have fostered dozens of little and not so little pups over the years and would be happy to care for your dog while you are away. Your dog will become part of our family during his stay and our dog is the best to make them feel welcome. We work from home so they are never left alone. The patio door is constantly open letting them roam in and out of the house as they pleased. They will get at least 2 long walks per day and they will be petted numerous amount of times. We have fostered puppies from 6 weeks old up to senior dogs and will adapt our activities to your dog's needs. We only accept one dog at a time to make sure they get the care and attention you would expect. Thank you for considering us! I work from home and take frequent breaks to walk the dogs and play with them. With me, your dog will get all the attention they deserve. Pets are allowed everywhere on the main floor. They have beds in every single room and permanent access to water (we have a dog water fountain).
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
“My wife and I are super glad we found Cheryl. Meeting Cheryl gave us immediate confidence that our dog, Dezi, was in great hands. She hosted Dezi for the day and did an excellent job; he felt right at home in her beautiful home, with a fenced yard (plenty of space to play). Cheryl's attention and genuine care made the difference, and we plan to rebook with her in the future.”
About: Hi all! I am interested in doing some petsitting to find some dog friends for my pup. I am not a full-time dog sitter, however, I'd like to find some more dogs that my dog will play with & hopefully build some puppy friendships. I live in Broadlands and WFH. I work from home & my dog is cage free all day. We usually do a longer walk in the mornings (between 6-7am) and play outside when it's cooler, then a short walk around lunch time, and another walk around sunset. Bedtime is around 9:30 in our house. Ideally I'd like to find other low-medium energy dogs that play well with my dog and can be trusted to free roam/play around my townhouse while I work. We go out for lunch time play around the neighborhood so good leash manners is a must.
About: I am a calm and patient person with 2 years of working experience at a dog daycare/hotel and a lifetime of experience at being a dog lover. I am currently available anytime, this includes weekends and holidays. Please let me know when you need me and I will promptly respond. Thank you! I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to allow your pet to run and have fun. I also have a very friendly boxer who would love to meet your pet if you are okay with them being introduced.
“Bruno has received the best professional and personal care during his first daycare experience with Ella. We have met a Ella a day before to see how Bruno is going to like the place. Ella got a great big home with fenced backyard, which Bruno felt home as soon as he entered the home. We talked and learned about each other and dropped Bruno with Ella next day. We have received regular updates and photos from Ella to let us know how Bruno is doing throughout the day. He enjoyed his stay and played well with other doggies and don't want to come home when we went to pick him up. Bruno gave a special hug to Ella before jumping back to his car. Whenever we need a day care again for Bruno, Ella would be our first choice. Overall it's a great Experience!”
About: I’m a mom with lots of patience and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, including helping anxious or stressed dogs feel safe, calm, and happy during boarding. I’ve cared for many of my neighbors’ pets, and they always love coming back. I’ll treat your pet like family and be their next best friend while you’re away! I have a 16 year old miniature Shih Tzu who means the world to me! I’ve also rescued several dogs and cats. I spent about three years volunteering with the SPCA Texas. To me, dogs are little angels, and I treat every one of them with love, patience, and gentle care. I’m home full time, so your pet will never be left alone or unsupervised. I know boarding can feel stressful for pets, so I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and a calm environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. I live with my daughter, who also loves animals. We don’t have kids in the home, and we respect every pet’s space and personality. Our home is clean, peaceful, and very pet friendly, dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what makes them feel at home. Everything is cleaned thoroughly after each stay. I only accept one boarding family at a time, so your pet gets my full attention, personalized care, and a quiet space without being overwhelmed. We also have a yard. My own pet is fully vaccinated. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved, like they’re staying at 5 star home away from home. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs. I’m home 24/7, so your pet will always have company, care, and supervision. We usually start the day early with a nice morning walk, followed by breakfast and lots of attention. If treats are allowed, I love giving a little morning treat, such a fun way to start their day. In the afternoon we go for another walk, and I spend time playing based on what your dog enjoys most, whether that’s fetch, toys, or just relaxing nearby with company and cuddles. In the evening, we do another nice walk followed by dinner and wind down time. Throughout the day, they will have potty breaks in our yard I provide loving and patient care for every dog, whether in my home or yours. I’m retired, so I have full focus during my work.
“Jennifer was amazing! She was communicated with me about everything and was open and kind about all the things she needed from me. She also took amazing care of my silly dog and sent great pictures of him having fun. When I got my pup back he was happy and tired which is an amazing combination for a husky! We appreciate you and your help so much and will definitely be returning the next time we are in town!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Clarks Gap on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 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 Clarks Gap 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 2,203 sitters in Clarks Gap, 89% 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.
